Hello Team, Would be great to have a function that can call directly to a zoom user  (like when you use the client to call another user on the contact list) when you cal from instance as a guest using the URL from a webpage to have a call ringing directly to the zoom user, a way to accept calls from this method of call, even the user that is calling (a guest) is not registered on the contact list hope I explain myself, thanks -Jose ---

If I understand correctly, you want the ability to call a random Zoom user from a guest. This seems like it would open up opportunities for spam. Let me know if I’m not understanding correctly. ---

Along these lines - I’m looking into publishing my personal meeting ID on my website.  And this work’s - and I get notified via email that someone is in my meeting room, but waiting on the email delivery can be slow - so I’m thinking Jose wants immediate notification that someone is waiting in their meeting.  ---

Jeff, correct, a way to have a notice faster than an email, to let know the user that someone is waiting on a meeting    ---

You could use the webhooks [https://zoom.github.io/api/#webhooks](https://zoom.github.io/api/#webhooks)   And listen for a notification with status “JBH” letting you know that someone has joined the meeting and is waiting. Then use whatever notification method. ---

Jeff, have you looked into Twilio for notifications ?  I have implemented my own using Twilio messaging APIs - it’s very straightforward to integrate. I maintain all Zoom meeting schedules in my app and send an SMS to both host and attendees. works great on mobile and covers most of my user base.  I think Zoom wants to stay out of building a notification framework for apps …      ---

Good suggestions - I will check into Twillo and the web hooks.  Thanks! ---

Jeff, Depends on the scale of your app, if it’s just for you, you could simply send an email from your server to your phone. [https://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/how-to-send-e-mail-to-sms-text/](https://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/how-to-send-e-mail-to-sms-text/)   And how fancy you want your implementation. There are a lot of messaging services, or ways to go about it 🙂 [https://www.pubnub.com/](https://www.pubnub.com/) [https://pusher.com/](https://pusher.com/) [https://firebase.google.com/](https://firebase.google.com/) ---

I also want to do something like this via the API. Something that can simulate clicking the “meet” button but through the SDK/API. ---

Please any word on how to set this up thank you, building a full-stack react app and I would love to have zoom calls and meetings in it alongside fast notifications
