Build Zoom Team Chat App

anthropics/knowledge-work-pluginsOfficial

This is reference material for building Zoom integrations, and the critical thing it does is warn you upfront about the Team Chat API versus Chatbot API split. One uses user OAuth and sends as a real person, the other uses client credentials and sends as a bot identity. Mix them up and your auth, scopes, and endpoints won't match. The skill itself is just background documentation you'd pull in once you know which integration type you need. It won't build the app for you, but it will save you from the common mistake of picking the wrong API early and having to backtrack. Useful if you're actually implementing Zoom chat features and need the distinction spelled out clearly.

Background reference for Zoom Team Chat integrations. Use this after the workflow is clear, especially when the Team Chat API versus Chatbot API distinction matters.

Read This First (Critical)

There are two different integration types and they are not interchangeable:

Team Chat API (user type)
- Sends messages as a real authenticated user
- Uses User OAuth (authorization_code)
- Endpoint family: /v2/chat/users/...
Chatbot API (bot type)
- Sends messages as your bot identity
- Uses Client Credentials (client_credentials)
- Endpoint family: /v2/im/chat/messages
