Yes, you can create an automation to set up Zoom meetings using the Shortcuts app on iOS. The Shortcuts app allows you to create custom shortcuts that can automate various tasks, including setting up Zoom meetings.

For example, you can create a shortcut that opens the Zoom app and starts a new meeting or schedules one. This can be done by leveraging the app intents framework, which allows you to define actions that can be used within the Shortcuts app.

Here are some relevant sessions from WWDC that discuss how to use app intents and the Shortcuts app to create automations:

  1. Bring your app to Siri - This session explains how app intents can be used within the Shortcuts app to perform actions and test them end-to-end.
  2. Bring your app’s core features to users with App Intents - This session covers how to add features to your app using the app intents framework, which can then be used in the Shortcuts app to create custom automations.
  3. Design App Intents for system experiences - This session provides an overview of how to design app intents that can be surfaced in system experiences, including the Shortcuts app.

By following the guidance in these sessions, you can create a custom shortcut to automate the process of setting up Zoom meetings.
