## What it does

The skill kicks in when an integration receives Zoom events over HTTP. The agent first pins down which event types and resource scope you need, and only then creates subscriptions. Endpoint verification and signature verification come next, before any business logic runs.

It lays out the workflow: store raw event IDs, timestamps and delivery metadata for replay protection and debugging; keep handlers idempotent because Zoom retries delivery; put a queue between webhook ingestion and downstream API calls when reliability matters. Debugging follows a checklist — endpoint reachability, TLS, validation token handling, the signature base string, app event subscription, account-level settings.

Bundled references cover the full guide, signature verification, subscriptions, events and common issues. If you need persistent low-latency event streams, the skill tells you to compare against `setup-zoom-websockets`; that is a different architecture, and the choice shapes your design. Worth installing once you have settled on HTTP delivery for Zoom events.

## Install

### Codex (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add openai/plugins --skill webhooks -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/webhooks/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Claude Code

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add openai/plugins --skill webhooks -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/webhooks/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/webhooks/

### Cursor

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/webhooks/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**

```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/webhooks/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### Claude.ai

## When to use it
- receive Zoom events on your own HTTP endpoint
- verify a webhook signature before business logic runs
- guard against duplicate delivery of the same event
- separate webhook ingestion from API calls with a queue
- track down why Zoom is not delivering events

## Example prompts
- set up Zoom webhooks for our app
- add signature verification to our Zoom event handler
- why is Zoom not delivering events to our endpoint?

# Setup Zoom Webhooks

Use this skill when the integration receives Zoom events over HTTP. If the user needs persistent low-latency event streams, compare against `setup-zoom-websockets`.

## Workflow

1. Identify the event types and resource scope before creating subscriptions.
2. Implement endpoint verification and signature verification before processing business logic.
3. Store raw event IDs, timestamps, and delivery metadata for replay protection and debugging.
4. Make handlers idempotent because Zoom can retry delivery.
5. Separate webhook ingestion from downstream API calls with a queue when reliability matters.
6. Debug by checking endpoint reachability, TLS, validation token handling, signature base string, app event subscription, and account-level settings.
