Trigger

Daily Usage Report Changed

Triggers when the Zoom daily usage report changes for a selected year/month. This trigger monitors daily usage statistics including: - New users added - Number of meetings held - Participant counts - Meeting minutes consumed

Action

Get Application Stats

This tool retrieves your application's usage statistics from ably. the stats endpoint returns a paginated list of your application's usage statistics by minute, hour, day, or month. it supports optional parameters such as start, end, direction, limit, and unit to filter and format the returned data. the stats include metrics for: - message counts and data transferred - connection counts - channel usage - api request counts - push notification metrics - token request counts

Why this helps

  • Consolidate usage review
  • Spot workload shifts
  • Save dashboard hopping
