Getting started with Zoho

Roombelt integrates with Zoho Mail to display meeting room schedules on tablets placed by meeting room doors in your office.

How the integration works

Roombelt's two-way integration with Zoho ensures real-time visibility of your bookings. When a meeting room is booked from the Zoho user interface, it will be instantly shown in Roombelt, providing you with accurate and reliable information.

If a meeting room is free, you can book it from a Roombelt device, and it will be visible in Zoho. You can extend this meeting from Roombelt or end it earlier to free the room.

Currently, extending and ending meetings is available only for meetings created from Roombelt. All meetings created from Zoho are read-only in Roombelt.

Creating an account

To set up the integration, go to app.roombelt.com, click "Log in with Zoho," and grant Roombelt the required permissions. These permissions allow Roombelt to access meeting room schedules and create or edit meetings right from connected tablets.

Roombelt integrates with Zoho Resource Booking, which is unavailable on the Zoho Mail Lite (free) plan.

After creating the account, you should see the Roombelt administration panel, which is similar to the one below.

Connecting device

Now it's time to connect your first physical device (e.g., tablet). To test Roombelt, you can use any tablet or even a mobile phone:

  1. Open app.roombelt.com on your device using any internet browser and click "Register device". You should see a "connection code" that will be needed shortly.

  2. Open the Roombelt administration panel on your computer (see Creating an account section) and click "Connect device".

  3. In the "Connect device" dialog, provide the "connection code" and click "Next".

  4. Pick the device type "Single calendar" and click "Next".

  5. Choose the desired calendar from the list and click "Voila". If you don't see any resource calendars, ensure that you have defined them in Zoho.

At this point, your device should display details about current and upcoming meetings.
