Step (4-a1): “To Convert Time” just after "When an appointment is created" trigger

Step 1: Add a new action:-“Compose”

1. In the expression paste this formula:-

convertTimeZone(triggerOutputs()?['body/startTime'], 'UTC', 'Eastern Standard Time', 'MM-dd-yyyy hh:mm tt')

Note:- the above yellow part is the “output value of Start Time” will come from dynamic value. And change the Time Zone as per your location of USA. Here are the values of USA time zone, copy and paste in the expression.

Here are some common U.S. time zone IDs you can use:

Step 4: Generate Zoom Access Token

Action 1: Add a “Compose” and rename it “Generate base64 Encoder”

Inside the compose paste an Expression value type:- base64(ClientID:ClientSecret)

Put the (ClientID:ClientSecret)which was saved earlier.

Step 5: Use Power Automate to Get Token

Action 2: Add an “HTTP” Action: and rename its name to HTTP

• Method: POST
• URI: https://zoom.us/oauth/token
• Headers

Authorization: Basic (Output of Generate base64 Encoder )

Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

• Queries:

: account_credentials

account_id: Paste account_id here (get account id from zoom market place)

Step 6: Create a Zoom Meeting via API

Action3: Add an “HTTP” Action: and Rename HTTP to Create Meeting

• Method: POST
• URI: https://api.zoom.us/v2/users/me/meetings

Headers: { "Authorization": "Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN", "Content-Type": "application/json" }

Note:- Put Access Token value in Expression:-

body(‘Access Token Fetch’)?[‘access_token’]

Note:- After Bearer write the following expression in expression tab:-

body(‘New Name of HTTP action ’)?[‘access_token’]

if your HTTP action name is different then write your action name.

body(‘______’)?[‘access_token’]
