At plugNmeet, our goal is to provide a powerful, open, and flexible platform that adapts to your needs, not the other way around. As deployments grow and move to the cloud, managing media files like recordings and artifacts becomes a critical challenge. How do you store files in S3? How do you automate notifications when a recording is ready? How do you manage complex workflows in a multi-server cluster?

Until now, solving these challenges often required modifying the core application code, making updates difficult and maintenance a chore.

Today, we're thrilled to announce a powerful new feature that changes everything: Scripting and Storage Hooks. This new mechanism allows you to extend and customize plugNmeet's media workflow by executing your own custom scripts—either as efficient, long-lived processes or simple one-shot commands—at key stages. All communication happens via newline-delimited JSON over standard I/O, so you can integrate your own logic without touching a single line of the core code.

You've set up your video conferencing service, but now you want to make it smarter. What if you could automatically log the duration of every meeting for billing? Or get a Slack notification when a VIP joins a call? This is where webhooks come in.

This guide will walk you through building your very first automated workflow. We'll create a simple but powerful service that listens for a meeting to end and logs its duration to your console—a perfect starting point for a real-world billing or analytics system.

A great API-first platform doesn't just allow you to initiate actions; it tells you when actions happen. This is the power of webhooks. They are the key to transforming a simple video conferencing tool into a deeply integrated and automated part of your business ecosystem.

plugNmeet provides a rich set of webhook events that fire in real-time as things happen inside a meeting. By listening for these events, you can build powerful, automated workflows that save time, reduce manual work, and create a smarter application.

This article will explore five practical examples of workflows you can build today with plugNmeet webhooks.

We've all been there: an "interactive workshop" that's just a 90-minute video call with a slide deck. The host struggles to juggle different apps for polls, group activities, and notes, while the audience slowly disengages.

An online workshop shouldn't be a passive presentation. It should be a dynamic, collaborative experience. But to achieve that, you need more than just a video link; you need an integrated toolkit where every feature works together seamlessly.

With Plug-N-Meet, you have that toolkit. This guide will walk you through the anatomy of a perfect online workshop, showing how to use a single, unified platform to manage every stage of your event, from the initial icebreaker to the automated follow-up.
