Connecting Roam to graph8

Overview

Roam is a powerful virtual HQ and video conferencing tool. You can integrate Roam with your graph8 Appointments system to use static Roam links as the conferencing location for scheduled meetings.

Unlike Zoom or Google Meet, Roam does not automatically generate links for each appointment. Instead, you manually set a static link during the installation. This link will be used for all events unless updated manually.

Prerequisites

  • A graph8 account with Appointments enabled

  • An active Roam account

  • Admin access in both platforms (if you're managing for a team)

Step-by-Step Installation Guide

1. Access Appointments in graph8

  • Log into your graph8 account

  • Go to Appointments in the sidebar

  • Click Apps > App Store

2. Install Roam App

  • In the App Store, search for Roam or locate it under the Conferencing section

  • Click the Install button

  • Choose the event type(s) where you want Roam to be used or can Set up later

  • Click Save

πŸ“ Note: Roam does not generate a link automatically. You must provide one manually during setup.
