We see that we have an option to turn off the registrant notification during DELETE call from UI in Zoom as shown below  
 ![delete webinar zoom](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/zoomdeveloper/original/2X/f/fdee2ba7ea9a4a039554c11f531cf46885265e7e.png) …

When we try to delete the same webinar using API endpoint

[https://api.zoom.us/v2/webinars/{webinarId}](https://api.zoom.us/v2/webinars/%7BwebinarId%7D)

We don’t have any customization to turn on/off the registrant notification… Can you please let us know whether we have any other option to turn that on/off from an API Call?

Thanks,  
Muthu

Hi @vm_chellappan,

Great question—Unfortunately you can’t directly disable the cancelation notification email when using the Delete endpoint you referenced. However, you can adjust this setting using the Webinar Update endpoint:

> **[Update a Webinar - Webinars - Zoom API - API Reference](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/webinars/webinarupdate)**
>
> Zoom users with a Webinar Plan have access to creating and managing Webinars. Webinar allows a host to broadcast a Zoom meeting to up to 10,000 attendee...

Here is a closer look at the property in question:

You could either consider disabling this setting by default, or, for one off circumstances, you could update this setting before deleting a webinar.

I hope this information helps!

Best,  
Will

Thanks @will.zoom. This will sort out the issue… So during delete, we have to follow a 2 step process

1. First, make an update call and reset the registrants\_email\_notification boolean to false
2. Now, make the delete API call to remove the webinar…

Thanks for your help…
