We are pleased to announce the latest addition to the Nylas Calendar API: Conferencing Sync Beta.
With Conferencing Sync, all of the dial-in information that participants need to join a meeting is now exposed to developers and syncs seamlessly between your platform and your user’s calendar provider.
Save time for your users by simplifying the process to join meetings using the video conference market leaders, all supported by Nylas: Zoom, Google Meet, MS Teams, GoToMeeting, and Webex.
With Conferencing Sync, your users can seamlessly join meetings by clicking on the conference link from directly within your platform. Provide video conference support in a way that fits your users’ scheduling workflows without having to build from scratch.
Now, you can expose conferencing information to your end users’ meetings with the new conferencing attribute.
