Looking to inject messages from our node run application portal to individual Zoom users. I have a webhook created but it seems to only go to the webhook channel unless I generate a new hook per user and keep track of them all.

Can a single webhook pick the users channel or do I need to make a chatbot?

Hi @gmerideth,

This would require use of our Chatbot app type.

From what I can tell, chatbot is for users to use slash commands to query data i.e. that’s why I need to provide an endpoint. This is somewhat the other way around. When a trigger occurs in our portal, I want to send user “john doe” a message to his chat channel. There is no ‘endpoint’ to create as Zoom isn’t going to send me anything.

Hey @gmerideth,

You will want to have a user install your Chat Bot app so that you can receive the [Bot Installed event](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/guides/chatbots/installation-and-authentication#sending-the-welcome-message) to your Chat Bot endpoint:

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/zoomdeveloper/original/3X/b/6/b6ea0b21441f69cbde9fd14d86067c92cf35c31a.png)

You can use the data in that event to [send the user a chat message](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/guides/chatbots/send-edit-and-delete-messages#send-messages). You would then retain that data and use it to send a message to the relevant user when the trigger occurs in your portal.

I hope that helps! Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,  
Max
