We want to push messages (updates, alerts, reminders) to specific users in Zoom Chat. It isn’t a conversational bot, at least not now, and it may never be. The messages would be triggered from other applications outside of Zoom.

I started down the Server to Server Oauth path and the code seems to run without error but there is no message sent. Based on reading further Im not 100% sure this is possible.

Is the right path here to use the Team Chat Apps?

Thanks!  
Brian

Hi @Brian-P ,

You can [build a chatbot](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/guides/chatbots/build-a-chatbot/) and then use the [chatbot api](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/chatbot/methods/#operation/sendChatbot) to send messages to specific users in Zoom Chat.

Here’s the [authorization and authentication flow](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/guides/chatbots/installation-and-authentication/) for chatbots.
