Cannot update user settings (email notifications)

API and Webhooks
#1

Hi!

Same issue as Unable to update user settings with API and Unable to update user settings (closed without being resolved).
And also same as Cannot update user settings (some obscure fix this is likely similar to what I need).

Assuming I’m missing an undocumented param like in the last link but please lmk if you know what it is.

Thanks for any help you can provide!

Description
I’m calling
PATCH https://api.zoom.us/v2/users/<USER_ID>/settings
with json: {“email_notification”: {“cloud_recording_available_reminder”: false}}
and headers: {“Authorization”: “Bearer XYZABC”, “Content-Type”: “application/json”}

And I get a 204 response but the settings are not updated in the UI or if I call
GET https://api.zoom.us/v2/users/<USER_ID>/settings

Error
No error message but the settings are not updated.

Which App Type (OAuth / Chatbot / JWT / Webhook)?
OAuth

Which Endpoint/s?

How To Reproduce (If applicable)
See above

Screenshots (If applicable)
None

Additional context
None

Hi @chou,

Can you make sure your request URL includes the following query param:
?option=recording_authentication

Hey Will,

Thanks for the quick reply! I change my PATCH call to

https://api.zoom.us/v2/users//settings?option=recording_authentication

but it’s still not updating the email_notification.cloud_recording_available_reminder field.

Any other suggestions?
Best,
chou

Hi @chou,

You will also ned to ensure you’re passing the request body, as well as the query parameter. Are you passing both?

Thanks,
Will

Hi @will.zoom,

Yup I’m passing the json body {“email_notification”: {“cloud_recording_available_reminder”: false}}

Actually now that I look at the query parameter you suggested of option=recording_authentication why am I supposed to pass that? I want to turn off email notifications for cloud recordings, which is in the first schema listed here https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/users/usersettingsupdate not one of the schemas that goes with an option.

Best,
Andrew

Hey @chou,

After some further testing on my end, this seems like it may be a bug. I’ve shared these examples with our Engineering team for further investigation and I’ll follow up here directly shortly. (ZOOM-316410)
