What it does

Each week this workflow pulls every Zoom Licensed (paid) user and their recent hosting activity, identifies seats that have gone unused past a threshold you set, and delivers a ranked reclaim candidate list to your IT-ops Slack channel. The outcome: you stop paying for dormant seats and have a concrete, reviewable list to act on.

When to use it

Run it when your Zoom bill keeps climbing but you suspect a chunk of Licensed seats are idle. Ideal for IT teams doing monthly or quarterly license true-ups who want evidence before downgrading anyone.

How it works

  1. 1A weekly schedule fires the sweep.
  2. 2The flow lists all Zoom users on the Licensed plan plus their last-meeting and last-login dates.
  3. 3Activity is written to BigQuery and joined against a 30-day window to compute days-since-last-host per user.
  4. 4A filter keeps only users past the idle threshold, sorted by days idle descending.
  5. 5The ranked candidate list (name, email, days idle, estimated monthly cost) posts to Slack for IT review.
