Use the CData ODBC Driver for Zoom to create datasets from Zoom data in Domo Workbench and then build visualizations in the Domo service.
Domo helps you manage, analyze, and share data across your entire organization, enabling decision makers to identify and act on strategic opportunities. Domo Workbench provides a secure, client-side solution for uploading your on-premise data to Domo. The CData ODBC Driver for Zoom links Domo Workbench to operational Zoom data. You can build datasets from Zoom data using standard SQL queries in Workbench and then create real-time visualizations of Zoom data in the Domo service.
The CData ODBC Drivers offer unmatched performance for interacting with live Zoom data in Domo due to optimized data processing built into the driver. When you issue complex SQL queries from Domo to Zoom, the driver pushes supported SQL operations, like filters and aggregations, directly to Zoom and utilizes the embedded SQL Engine to process unsupported operations (often SQL functions and JOIN operations) client-side. With built-in dynamic metadata querying, you can visualize and analyze Zoom data using native Domo data types.
Connect to Zoom as an ODBC Data Source
If you have not already, first specify connection properties in an ODBC DSN (data source name). This is the last step of the driver installation. You can use the Microsoft ODBC Data Source Administrator to create and configure ODBC DSNs.
Start by setting the Profile connection property to the location of the Zoom Profile on disk (e.g. C:\profiles\Zoom.apip). Next, set the ProfileSettings connection property to the connection string for Zoom (see below).
Zoom API Profile Settings
To authenticate to Zoom, you can use the OAuth standard to connect to your own data or to allow other users to connect to their data.
First you will need to create an OAuth app. To do so, navigate to https://marketplace.zoom.us/develop/create and click Create under the OAuth section. Select whether or not the app will be for individual users or for the entire account, and uncheck the box to publish the app. Give the app a name and click Create. You will then be given your Client Secret and Client ID
After setting the following connection properties, you are ready to connect:
- AuthScheme: Set this to OAuth.
- InitiateOAuth: Set this to GETANDREFRESH. You can use InitiateOAuth to manage the process to obtain the OAuthAccessToken.
- OAuthClientID: Set this to the OAuth Client ID that is specified in your app settings.
- OAuthClientSecret: Set this to the OAuth Client Secret that is specified in your app settings.
- CallbackURL: Set this to the Redirect URI you specified in your app settings.
When you configure the DSN, you may also want to set the Max Rows connection property. This will limit the number of rows returned, which is especially helpful for improving performance when designing reports and visualizations.
After creating a DSN, you will need to create a dataset for Zoom in Domo Workbench using the Zoom DSN and build a visualization in the Domo service based on the dataset.
Build a Dataset for Zoom Data
You can follow the steps below to build a dataset based on a table in Zoom in Domo Workbench using the CData ODBC Driver for Zoom.
- Open Domo Workbench and, if you have not already, add your Domo service server to Workbench. In the Accounts submenu, click Add New, type in the server address (i.e., domain.domo.com) and click through the wizard to authenticate.
- In the DataSet Jobs submenu, click Add New.
- Name the dataset job (i.e., ODBC Zoom MeetingRegistrants), select ODBC Connection Provider as the transport method, and click through the wizard.
- In the newly created DataSet Job, navigate to Source and click to configure the settings.
- Select System DSN for the Connection Type.
- Select the previously configured DSN (CData API Sys) for the System DSN.
- Click to validate the configuration.
- Below the settings, set the Query to a SQL query:
SELECT * FROM MeetingRegistrants
NOTE: By connecting to Zoom data using an ODBC driver, you simply need to know SQL in order to get your data, circumventing the need to know Zoom-specific APIs or protocols. - Click preview.
- Check over the generated schema, add any transformations, then save and run the dataset job.
With the dataset job run, the dataset will be accessible from the Domo service, allowing you to build visualizations, reports, and more based on Zoom data.
Create Data Visualizations
With the DataSet Job saved and run in Domo Workbench, we are ready to build visualizations of the Zoom data in the Domo service.
- Navigate to the Data Center.
- In the data warehouse, select the ODBC data source and drill down to our new dataset.
- With the dataset selected, choose to create a visualization.
- In the new card:
- Drag a Dimension to the X Value.
- Drag a Measure to the Y Value.
- Choose a Visualization.
With the CData ODBC Driver for Zoom, you can build custom datasets based on Zoom data using only SQL in Domo Workbench and then build and share visualizations and reports through the Domo service.
