How to Build a Zoom Chatbot

How to Build a Zoom Chatbot from scratch using Node.js, PostgreSQL, the Unsplash API, and Heroku.

In this article we will build a Zoom Chatbot that sends Unsplash photos! You can code along with me, or you can skip the coding and go straight to deploying the completed code to a Heroku server.

Prerequisites:

1. A free Zoom Account
2. A free Unsplash account
3. A free Heroku account
4. Ngrok.io (You will need this if you are coding along—Ngrok turns localhost into a free web server)

STEP 1. Create a Zoom App

Create a Chatbot on the Zoom App Marketplace.

On the Chatbot app type, click Create. Provide an App Name and click Create.

STEP 2. Create an Unsplash App

Create an app on Unsplash.
