Add an attendee to registrationless Webinar via API

API and Webhooks
1

Hi Zoom Team,

is it possible to add an attandee to a webinar without registration via tha API? I couldt only find the way with registration.

desired flow:
We offer Webinars. Attendee registers with us during our singout process. We post attendee informations to Zoom via API. Attendee gets join-link from Zoom via email with further instructions.

Thanks in advance
OE

Hey @ole.eisenhardt,

If you want to add registrants to a Webinar, you will need to have registration set to required for that webinar. What is the blocker for you to require registration for the webinar?

Thanks,
Tommy

Hey Tommy,

not a hard blocker but we want to avoid an extra step in our signout process.
Maybe i still dont get the flow right. Does a registrant have to fill out the registration immediately after we make the POST to the API? Or when does that happen? Will the registrant get any kind of notification when we add him to the webinar?

And just to confirm: OAuth is just between us and your API, the registrant ist not involved there.
Theoreticly could we use JWT to get the access to the API?

Thanks a lot

Hey @ole.eisenhardt,

The registrant will need to fill out the registration form, or you can do it programmatically via the API.

In either case, they will get an email notification with their unique join_url.

Correct, for a person to register for a Webinar, they do not have to sign into Zoom via OAuth.

Thanks,
Tommy
