Integrations

  • Video: online sessions get a meeting link automatically, from your program's Zoom unless the mentor connects their own tool (see below).
  • Calendar: every booking emails a calendar invite (.ics) that works with Google, Outlook and Apple Calendar. Where the program has it turned on, mentors can also connect Google or Outlook so mentees only see free times.
  • Data export: admins can export reports as CSV for spreadsheets and BI tools.
  • Single sign-on (SAML/SCIM) isn't available yet. Contact us if your organisation needs it.

Zoom for mentors

Mentors can connect their own Zoom account so each online session gets a Zoom meeting made in their account, with them as the host. BraveStrides only creates, moves and deletes the meetings for sessions booked in BraveStrides, and reads your Zoom name and email to show which account is connected. It doesn't read your other meetings, recordings or contacts.

Add

  1. Sign in to BraveStrides as a mentor and open Account settings (your picture, top right).
  2. In Calendar & video, choose Connect Zoom.
  3. Sign in to Zoom if asked, review the permissions and choose Allow. You come back to BraveStrides, and "Zoom (my account)" is selected for online sessions.

Use

  • When a mentee books an online session with you, BraveStrides creates a Zoom meeting in your account and sends the link to both of you in the confirmation email. It also appears in the session's Join button.
  • If the session is rescheduled, the same meeting moves to the new time and the link stays the same. If it's cancelled, the meeting is deleted from your Zoom.
  • Mentees can join before you arrive. Your own Zoom settings (passcode, waiting room, recording) apply to these meetings.
  • If BraveStrides can't reach your Zoom, the session uses your own meeting link if you've saved one, or your program's Zoom, and we email you to reconnect.
  • You can switch back to Google Meet, Teams, your own link or your program's Zoom at any time in Calendar & video.

Remove

  1. In BraveStrides: Account settings → Calendar & video → Zoom → Disconnect. BraveStrides deletes its access to your Zoom straight away.
  2. Or in Zoom: sign in at marketplace.zoom.us, open Manage → Added Apps, find BraveStrides and choose Remove. BraveStrides is told and deletes its stored access.
  3. Meetings already booked stay in your Zoom after you remove the app; delete them in Zoom if you no longer need them. New online sessions go back to your own link or your program's Zoom.
