Connect Claude & ChatGPT to Zoho Webinar

Ask your AI which webinars are coming up, who has registered, or who actually joined last week, and it reads the answer from Zoho Webinar. It can schedule and update webinars, register attendees, add polls, and pull attendee reports, poll results, questions and recordings. Deleting a webinar can require your approval first.

Questions

What can the AI do in Zoho Webinar?

It can list and read webinars, registrants, polls, recordings and time zones, and read attendee reports, poll reports and the questions asked during a webinar. It can schedule and update webinars, register attendees, add polls and delete a webinar.

Does the AI see my Zoho Webinar credentials?

No. Your Zoho Webinar credentials are encrypted at rest and never shown to the AI. After you save them, they are not shown again, not even to you. The AI only sees the results of the tools it calls.

Can I control what the AI is allowed to do?

Yes. You choose which tools are switched on, so you can start with reports and lookups only. Deleting a webinar is permanent and cannot be undone, and registering attendees can send them emails, so these can require your approval before they run. Every tool call is logged.

Does it work with ChatGPT?

Yes. In ChatGPT, open Settings › Apps & Connectors › Advanced, turn on Developer mode and add your PipMCP link. Developer mode needs a paid ChatGPT plan: Plus, Pro, Business or Enterprise. The same link also works in Claude (Settings › Connectors › Add custom connector), Cursor and other MCP clients.

What does it cost?

Zoho Webinar connects with OAuth, and OAuth connections need the PipMCP Pro plan or above. PipMCP also has a free plan with no credit card, but it does not include this connection. Paid plans bill per completed task. You also need your own Zoho Webinar account.

Why do I need to create my own Zoho client?

Zoho sign-in uses OAuth, and PipMCP connects through a client you own in the Zoho API console. You create it once, set the redirect URI to https://pipmcp.com/oauth/callback and sign in with your Zoho login. Access then runs through your own client, which you can remove in Zoho at any time.
