Zoom Classes

Managing your online classes via Zoom becomes simple with Activity Messenger. Whether you offer one-off or in-session virtual classes, integrating with Zoom makes it easy not only to automate reminders and registrations, but also to organize your classes overall. This centralization allows you to manage your online activities efficiently and smoothly.

Activity Messenger integrates Zoom and Amilia to help you set up and run Zoom Online Classes. Activity Messenger provides solutions to these pain points:

  • Eliminates the manual process of creating Zoom meetings for dozens of classes a week.
  • Automates sending the Zoom meetings to participants by SMS or email.
  • Automates sending reminders before the class to avoid no-shows and refunds.
