GB Zoom Integration — Complete Guide

Run online and hybrid gym classes through Zoom. Attach Zoom meeting IDs to any Gym Builder class, show online/offline badges to members, and automatically email the meeting link to registered attendees.

1. Welcome

GB Zoom Integration lets you run online and in-person gym classes side by side. Attach Zoom Meeting ID / URL / Password to any time-slot of any Gym Builder class, show Online / Offline badges on the public listing, and email the meeting details to members on demand via a “Get Zoom Class Link” button on the single-class page.

What you get

  • Per-slot Class Type toggle — set each time-slot in the Schedule metabox to Online or Offline. (No separate “Hybrid” class type — a class with mixed slots automatically shows both badges.)
  • Three Zoom fields per slot: Meeting ID, Meeting URL, Meeting Password — entered directly in the Schedule metabox.
  • Online / Offline badges on the public class listing. Badge text and colors customisable in Settings.
  • Get Zoom Class Link button on the single-class page — logged-in members click it to receive the Zoom details by email.
  • Customisable button label — change “Get Zoom Class Link” globally in Settings.

2. Installation

2.1 Requirements

  • WordPress 5.5+ and PHP 7.4+.
  • Gym Builder plugin — installed and activated.
  • A Zoom account — Pro recommended for recurring meetings.
  • At least one Gym Builder class already created.

2.2 Install & activate

  1. 1Download the .zip.
  2. 2In WordPress: Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin.
  3. 3Choose the .zip and click Install Now.
  4. 4Click Activate.
  5. 5A new Zoom tab appears in Gym Builder → Settings, plus a Zoom metabox on the class edit screen.

3. Adding Zoom to a Class

Editing a class now shows a Zoom panel where you set the meeting details per day-of-week.

Class edit screen Schedule metabox showing Class Type dropdown plus Zoom Meeting Id / Url / Password fields
The Schedule metabox grows three Zoom fields — Meeting Id, Url, Password — for each time-slot. Set Class Type to Online to surface them to members.
  1. 1Go to WordPress Admin → Classes → Add New Class (or edit an existing class).
  2. 2Scroll to the Schedule metabox. For each time-slot, pick the Class Type dropdown — two options: Offline (in-person) or Online (the slot’s Zoom details will be served to members).
  3. 3For each Online slot, fill: Zoom Meeting ID (10–11 digits), Meeting URL (looks like https://us02web.zoom.us/j/...), Meeting Password.
  4. 4A class with mixed slots (some Online, some Offline) shows both badges on the frontend — no separate “Hybrid” class type is required.
  5. 5Click Update to save.

Use a recurring Zoom meetingSet up your weekly class as a recurring Zoom meeting in your Zoom dashboard, then paste the same Meeting ID / URL / Password for every weekday slot that class runs.

4. Plugin Settings

Settings live at Gym Builder → Settings → Zoom Integration Settings. Global; apply to every Zoom-enabled class.

✓
Recommended starting valuesDisplay Class Type Badge: ON. Offline Class Badge Text: Offline Class or In-Person. Online Class Badge Text: Online Class or Live Online. Get Zoom Class Button Text: Get Zoom Link or Email me the Zoom link (the latter sets expectation that the link arrives by email, not in a new tab). Online Badge Color: green (#1aa874) for “go” energy. Offline Badge Color: red/orange (#dc2626) for contrast.

!
v1 has no email templates or time-window guardThe plugin sends a hard-coded “Your <class> Zoom meeting ID / URL / Password” email the moment a logged-in member clicks the Get Zoom Class Link button. No configurable subject/body templates, no “show button N minutes before class” timer.

5. Member Experience

From a member’s perspective, the Zoom integration adds one thing: a button on the single-class page that emails the Zoom meeting details to them on demand.

Classes archive frontend showing online and offline badges on class cards
Frontend classes archive — Online Class / Offline Class badges. A class with mixed Online and Offline slots shows both badges automatically.
  1. 1Member visits a single-class page (e.g. /gym_builder_class/morning-spin/).
  2. 2If the class has at least one Online slot, a Get Zoom Class Link button (label customisable in Settings) appears in that slot’s row of the Class Time Table.
  3. 3The member clicks the button. The plugin emails them the Zoom Meeting ID, URL and Password for the matching slot.
  4. 4The member opens their email and joins via the Zoom link there.

Single class page — the Get Zoom Class Link button appears only on rows with an Online slot. Offline rows show just the day, time and trainer.

The link is emailed, not auto-openedv1’s flow is: button click → AJAX request → email with Zoom details. The link does not automatically open Zoom in a new tab, and there is no time-window guard (members can request the email at any time).

6. Tips & Best Practices

  • Use recurring Zoom meetings for weekly classes — paste the same Meeting ID across every weekday slot of that class.
  • Run hybrid by mixing slots — Monday 6am Offline + Monday 7pm Online in the same class shows both badges on the frontend and collects in-person + remote attendees with the same teacher.
  • Test the email by registering a test member and clicking Get Zoom Class Link before going live.
  • Style the badge in Zoom Integration Settings if your theme’s default colors clash with the plugin defaults.

7. FAQ

Q: Does it sync with the Zoom API?

Not in v1 — paste meeting details manually. v1.1 plans direct Zoom API sync.

Q: Can different classes share the same Zoom meeting?

Yes. Use the same meeting ID/URL/password across multiple classes.

Q: What happens if my Zoom password is wrong?

Members see Zoom’s “Wrong password” prompt. Fix in the class edit screen and resave; future emails go out corrected.

Q: Can I send the Zoom link as a calendar invite (.ics)?

Not in v1. The email contains the link as plain text + HTML hyperlink.

Q: Is recording supported?

Recording is handled inside Zoom itself. The plugin doesn’t manage recording — configure it in your Zoom meeting settings.

Q: Does the badge customise?

The ONLINE/OFFLINE badge can be filtered via gym_builder_class_type_badge.

8. Troubleshooting

Zoom panel doesn't appear on the class edit screen

The panel shows only when Class Type is Online or Hybrid.

Member registered but didn't receive the Zoom email

Check: (1) the member email isn’t bouncing, (2) the class has Zoom details set for that day, (3) your site can send mail.

Join button isn't showing on the day

Activates X minutes before class start, configurable in Settings → Zoom. Default 15. Outside that window the button is hidden.

Wrong meeting link emailed

You probably have different Zoom details across days. Confirm the day-of-week settings on the right class.

ONLINE badge missing on the public listing

Confirm Class Type = Online or Hybrid, then clear page caching.
