Description

I am trying to automate our user on-boarding to create our users via the API in both meetings and phones.
Due to the way our licenses are setup, i cannot use the “feature” parameter when creating a new zoom meeting user so it will automatically set the phone portion up for me.

    // This does not seem to work with the type of zoom license/account setup we have, have to call phone API seperatly after this user is created
    if (zoom_phone) {
      // Enable Phone too
      payload.feature = {};
      payload.feature.zoom_phone = zoom_phone;
      payload.feature.zoom_one_type = 16;
    }

So upon success of meeting user creation, i then call this phone users endpoint to create the phone user access. This is working great except it does not assign a number to the user, and i have to hardcode the extension.

• I do not want to maintain a list of extensions to assign
• i do not want to maintain a list of phone numbers to assign

How can i create a phone user over the API and automatically assign the next numerical extension that is available, as well as phone number.

Is there another endpoint i need to hit to claim a “free number” in the area code we desire and then hardcode it into my user account creation call?
