Background reference for persistent Zoom event streams. Prefer workflow routing first, then use this file when WebSockets are plausibly better than webhooks.

WebSockets vs Webhooks

Aspect WebSockets Webhooks
Connection Persistent, bidirectional One-time HTTP POST
Latency Lower (no HTTP overhead) Higher (new connection per event)
Security Direct connection, no exposed endpoint Requires endpoint validation, IP whitelisting
Model Pull (you connect to Zoom) Push (Zoom connects to you)
State Stateful (maintains connection) Stateless (each event independent)
Setup More complex (access token, connection) Simpler (just endpoint URL)

Choose WebSockets when:

  • Real-time, low-latency updates are critical
  • Security is paramount (banking, healthcare, finance)
  • You don't want to expose a public endpoint
