Hey @alex3,

The easiest way to start is to use a JWT Token, here is how to generate one:

> Thanks @nvanderson, yes you can do that! @vaibhav.bhosale, go here: [https://marketplace.zoom.us/develop/create](https://marketplace.zoom.us/develop/create), create a JWT app, then on the “App Credentials” page you will see an already generated JWT token: Thanks, Tommy

Then to create a meeting, call the [Create Meeting API](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/meetings/meetingcreate), use the following Google App Scripts code:

```js
var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch("https://api.zoom.us/v2/users/me/meetings", {
  'method' : 'post',
  'contentType': 'application/json',
  'payload' : JSON.stringify({
    'topic': 'Title of Meeting',
    'type': 2,
    'start_time': '2020-01-03T12:00:00Z',
    'duration': 30
  }),
  'headers': {
   'Authorization': 'Bearer JWT_TOKEN_HERE'
  }
});
Logger.log(response.getContentText());

```

`Logger.log(response.getContentText());` will return a JSON body with the Zoom meeting link, which you can insert into the Google Calendar Event.

Let me know if that helps!

Thanks,  
Tommy
