How the Zoom Phone Connector Works

The Zoom Phone connector operates as a scheduled ingestion pipeline that retrieves SMS and MMS communication data from Zoom APIs, normalizes records, and delivers them into the Arctera Unified Platform archive for supervision, retention, and eDiscovery workflows.

t-b-s
Step 1: Zoom App Configuration
Create an admin-managed Zoom General App and configure OAuth credentials including Client ID, Client Secret, and callback settings.
Step 2: Permission and Scope Configuration
Grant required Zoom Phone scopes for SMS and user access to enable retrieval of text communication data.
Step 3: Authentication and Collector Setup
Enter credentials in Capture and authorize API access. Configure threading, message-body formatting, and attachment handling.
Step 4: Scheduled Data Collection
Capture executes scheduled API collection runs to retrieve SMS and MMS messages without interacting with live communications.
Step 5: Normalization and Archive Delivery
Transform message data into standardized formats and deliver normalized records to the configured archive target.

Frequently Asked Questions

t-b-s
What Zoom Phone content does the integration capture?
The integration captures one-on-one and group SMS and MMS messages, including attachments, emojis, GIFs, and associated metadata. It preserves conversation context for governance workflows.
Does the integration capture Zoom Phone data in real time?
No. The integration uses scheduled API-based collection runs and does not intercept live communications.
How quickly is Zoom Phone data available in the archive?
Data is captured based on scheduled collection runs and API availability. Once retrieved, records are normalized and delivered to the archive.
How is access to Zoom Phone data secured?
Access is configured using a Zoom General App with OAuth authentication and required API scopes. Admin authorization ensures controlled access.
How does this support compliance and audits?
The integration preserves SMS and MMS communications as normalized archive-ready records, supporting supervision, retention, investigation, and audit workflows.
How is the connector deployed?
The connector is configured by creating a Zoom General App, assigning required scopes, and authorizing access within Capture.
How does this differ from native Zoom retention?
LSEG delivers communication data as file feeds or hosted archive exports. The Arctera integration processes these files, applies formatting and normalization, and delivers them to a centralized archive, enabling consistent supervision and review.
