Routing Guardrail

• Rivet SDK is a Node.js framework that bundles Zoom auth handling, webhook receivers, and typed API wrappers.
• Rivet is recommended for faster server-side scaffolding, but it is not mandatory.
• At planning start, confirm preference:

• Do you want Rivet SDK, or direct OAuth + REST without Rivet?

• Use Rivet when the user wants a Node.js server that combines Zoom auth + webhooks + API calls with minimal glue code.
• If the user only needs direct API calls from an existing backend, chain with ../rest-api/SKILL.md.
• If the user is focused on Zoom Team Chat app cards/commands behavior, chain with ../team-chat/SKILL.md.
• If the user needs SDK embed (Meeting SDK/Video SDK client runtime), route to ../meeting-sdk/SKILL.md or ../video-sdk/SKILL.md.

Common Lifecycle Pattern

1. Choose modules and auth model per module (Client Credentials, User OAuth, S2S OAuth, Video SDK JWT).
2. Instantiate client(s) with credentials, webhook secret, and per-module port.
3. Register event handlers (

   webEventConsumer.event(...)

   or shortcuts).
4. Implement API calls through

   client.endpoints.*

   .
5. Start receiver(s) and expose webhook endpoint(s) (

   /zoom/events

   ) to Zoom.
6. Persist tokens/state for OAuth workloads and enforce signature verification.
7. Monitor module-specific failures and rotate secrets/version with changelog cadence.

High-Level Scenarios

• Team Chat slash-command bot + Team Chat data API enrichment.
• Multi-module backend (Users + Meetings + Team Chat + Phone) sharing one process.
• Video SDK telemetry backend using

  videosdk

  module event stream + API surfaces.
• ISV orchestration layer with tenant-aware token storage and per-module webhooks.
• AWS Lambda webhook processor with Rivet

  AwsLambdaReceiver

  .
