Pardot–Zoom Integration Using Zapier

About The Company

The client is a global B2B tech company that regularly conducts webinars and uses online tools to engage customers across multiple regions.

Customer Challenges

The client needed automation that felt seamless, not a patchwork of disconnected tasks. Their major challenges included the following.

Manual Registration Syncing

Human errors and time-consuming steps were slowing down every webinar cycle.

• Webinar sign-ups in Zoom were not automatically reflected in Pardot
• CSV imports often resulted in duplicate or missing records
• Marketing campaigns were delayed because lists were not updated in real time

Lack of Real-Time Prospect Data

The team could not act quickly on attendee insights.

• Pardot had outdated or incomplete prospect fields during live campaigns
• No immediate segmentation or scoring updates were possible
• Delays in sending pre-webinar nurturing emails and reminders

Inconsistent Follow-Up Processes

Follow-ups varied from webinar to webinar because workflows were not standardized.

• Attendance data was not always captured accurately
• Manual list uploads led to inconsistent nurture journeys
• Reporting lacked clarity due to missing integration touchpoints

Limited Automation Capability

Internal systems were not fully connected, limiting the effectiveness of the marketing stack.

• Zoom API was not utilized effectively
• Workflow triggers were scattered across tools
• No unified automation stream existed for the webinar lifecycle

Solutions

We implemented a custom integration solution using Salesforce Pardot and Zoom, with the help of Zapier. The integration included the following steps.

This solution connected Zoom sign-ups to Pardot instantly.

• Created a Zapier trigger for new Zoom registrants using the Zoom API

This ensured clean and enriched prospect records.

Attendance Data Sync for Follow-Up Journeys

This enabled accurate post-webinar nurturing.

• Triggered Engagement Studio flows for personalized follow-ups

Standardized Workflows for the Entire Webinar Lifecycle

This created predictable and repeatable automation for every event.
