Hi @Landsiedel Thanks for reaching out to us and welcome to the Zoom Developer Forum. Can you please share more details of what you are trying to build? If you are trying to access the Zoom API, please use this guide on how to integrate with Oauth so you can generate access tokens to call the API > **[OAuth 2.0](https://developers.zoom.us/docs/integrations/oauth/#app-type-general)** > > The Zoom Developer Platform is an open platform that allows third-party developers to build applications and integrations upon Zoom’s video-first unified communications platform. ---

I try to connect boost.space via API with Zoom. But i failed. the main problem is, that we have a master account and 9 admin accounts. the admins do not have the rights to create app with the authorization i need. the master account can create the app, but i do not get datas. the problem i had there with the error was because of the redirect URL. that works now, but i still get no datas in boost.space. So I think its using the wrong app? At least it does never get triggered. i used the guideline from boost.space themself for zoom (unfortunatelly i cant share a link here, so i cant tell you). ---

update i just deleted all and tried it again, this time zoom tells me, that when i create the app that i do not have the rights to create the app. BUT i am the owner and have ALL rights. So i dont know what to do? I saw others with just one account, there it seems no problem, but if we have 10 accounts (like we do) and one master account it does not work ☹ ---

it seems that even without creating the app, i can make a connection to boost.space, BUT the trigger gets never triggerd. i can use it manually for getting files of the cloud or sth. but the trigger NEVER gets triggerd, no matter what i do. ---

Hi @Landsiedel Thanks for the update, please tag my name with your responses so I can get a notification. Are you able to see the 3 different app types we offer? General App, Server to Server and Webhook only? or not at all? ---

yes i can see all 3 and i tried all, but most often (also because of the guide of boost.space) i use general app @elisa.zoom ---

Hi @Landsiedel Would you mind sharing the docs from boost.space so I can take a closer look at this? ---
