Background reference for Zoom Contact Center integrations across app, web, and native mobile surfaces.

Implementation guidance for Zoom Contact Center across:

• Contact Center apps in the Zoom client (Zoom Apps SDK path)

• Web channel embeds (chat/video/campaign)

• Native mobile SDKs (Android/iOS)

Official docs:

• https://developers.zoom.us/docs/contact-center/

• https://developers.zoom.us/docs/contact-center/web/sdk-reference/

• https://marketplacefront.zoom.us/sdk/contact/android/index.html

• https://marketplacefront.zoom.us/sdk/contact/ios/index.html

Routing Guardrail

• If the user is building an app inside the Zoom Contact Center desktop client, stay on the Zoom Apps SDK path and use this skill plus zoom-apps-sdk .

• If the user is embedding chat/video widgets on a website, route to web/SKILL.md.

• If the user is integrating native Android or iOS SDK binaries, route to android/SKILL.md or ios/SKILL.md.

• If the user needs Contact Center call-control or queue APIs, chain with ../rest-api/SKILL.md.

Common Lifecycle Pattern

• Initialize platform context early.

• Build a channel item (entryId for chat/video/ZVA, apiKey for scheduled callback and campaign flows).

• Get service/client instance.

• Register listeners/delegates before user interaction.

• Start flow (fetchUI , startVideo , or web SDK open/show path).

• Handle engagement state changes (start , hold , resume , end ) and context switching.

• End flow and release resources (endChat /endVideo , logout/logoff , uninitialize/release).

High-Level Scenarios

• Agent side-panel app that stores notes per engagementId and survives context switching.

• Browser chat/video campaigns launched from web tags.

• Native mobile customer app for chat/video/scheduled callback.

• Campaign-driven channel selection (chat, ZVA, video, scheduled callback).

• Rejoin flow for dropped video engagements on mobile.

• Smart Embed CRM softphone with postMessage event contracts.

See scenarios/high-level-scenarios.md for details.

Chaining

• Auth and in-client app identity: ../zoom-apps-sdk/SKILL.md and ../oauth/SKILL.md

• Contact Center REST workflows: ../rest-api/SKILL.md

• Cobrowse on web voice/chat channels: ../cobrowse-sdk/SKILL.md

Environment Variables

• See references/environment-variables.md for standardized .env keys and where to find each value.
