# setup-zoom-webhooks

This command builds or fixes a Zoom HTTP event receiver, covering endpoint checks, signature verification, and delivery handling. Use it when wiring Zoom events into an app.

## What it does

The command starts by inspecting existing routes, signature helpers, queues, and event handlers. It asks the agent to identify event types and the endpoint path, then outline the files and verification approach before editing. Short downstream work can stay in the request path; slower work should be separated when delivery reliability matters.

The receiver must validate the endpoint and verify the signature before business logic runs. Handlers should tolerate replayed deliveries, while retaining metadata useful for debugging or replay protection. Verification covers the validation and signed-event paths separately, plus local builds or tests when available. The endpoint must be publicly reachable, and Zoom app or subscription settings affect whether delivery can work.

- File: `.claude/commands/setup-zoom-webhooks.md` — Call it with /setup-zoom-webhooks. For all projects use ~/.claude/commands/

### GitHub Copilot

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/prompts/setup-zoom-webhooks.prompt.md`

### Gemini CLI

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.gemini/commands/setup-zoom-webhooks.toml` — Gemini stores commands as TOML: the prompt text goes into the prompt field

## When to use it
- add an HTTP route for Zoom events
- verify event signatures before business logic runs
- handle replayed deliveries without repeating event effects
- move slow downstream work out of webhook ingestion

## Example prompts
- Set up a Zoom webhook receiver for recording events and verify signatures before processing.
- Fix the Zoom webhook route and test endpoint validation separately from signed-event handling.
- Check Zoom event delivery; if it fails after reaching the route, run `/debug-zoom-webhook`.

# Setup Zoom Webhooks

Use this command when the integration receives Zoom events over HTTP and needs a correct webhook receiver path.

## Preflight

1. Inspect the repository for existing webhook routes, signature verification helpers, queueing, and downstream event handlers.
2. Identify the event types and the Zoom app or account scope that owns the subscription.
3. Confirm the public endpoint shape, validation requirements, and webhook secret env var names without printing secrets.
4. If the repo actually needs low-latency persistent delivery instead of HTTP callbacks, say so before proceeding and compare against WebSockets.

## Plan

Before making changes:

- state the event types and endpoint path being implemented
- list the files that will be changed
- state the validation, signature, and retry-handling approach
- state how the webhook flow will be verified

## Commands

1. Add or correct the webhook receiver route at the appropriate backend layer.
2. Implement endpoint validation and signature verification before business logic.
3. Keep handlers idempotent and preserve delivery metadata needed for replay protection or debugging.
4. Separate ingestion from slow downstream work when reliability matters.
5. Reuse existing logging, queue, and secret-management patterns where possible.
6. Avoid claiming the webhook path works until validation and signature handling are both checked.

## Verification

1. Re-read the webhook route, validation logic, and signature helper after changes.
2. Run local build or tests where available.
3. Verify the endpoint validation path and the signed-event path independently.
4. State any remaining blocker such as public reachability, missing app configuration, or subscription settings.

## Summary

```text
## Result
- Action: implemented or updated a Zoom webhook receiver
- Status: success | partial | failed
- Details: route, event types, signature path, verification run
```

## Next Steps

- Send or replay one real event through the receiver.
- If delivery reaches the route but fails later, run `/debug-zoom-webhook`.
- If auth or app setup is missing, run `/setup-zoom-oauth`.
