Does the Zoom API provide a way to change the individual user setting which sends an email notification when a cloud recording is available?

This setting can be toggled by users in the Web interface under Settings -\> Meeting -\> Email Notification -\> When a cloud recording is available.

 ![paraded-neuma-affirm-nonpestilently](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/zoomdeveloper/original/2X/1/11e8c075a5023d8e622c66b7e4dfe38e147ce5cd.png)

However, I’ve been unable to find a way to toggle this settings for users via the API.

The Endpoint that gets user settings has a response section like this:  
“email\_notification”: {  
“jbh\_reminder”: true,  
“cancel\_meeting\_reminder”: true,  
“alternative\_host\_reminder”: true,  
“schedule\_for\_reminder”: true  
}

But I haven’t found an example that includes a name/value pair that corresponds to the “When a cloud recording is available” setting. Does it exist?

Thanks.

I have an email from Zoom on April 7 where no access code was sent to the Host in the ‘recording complete’ email. However, today, with the exact same API settings, calls to that same API are now asking the user for an access code, and emails to the Host now INCLUDE an access code. Was the default changed? How can I change it back? This i…
