Hello,  
I used to create IM groups via the API. The IM Group APIs are no longer available.  
Now I have to create Contacts Groups via the API. Unfortunately I can’t find the API description for this function.

The Zoom website uses https:/ /api.zoom.us/account/contacts/importGroup/ with groupIds and privacy as parameters. Unfortunately, this does not work via the API.

Does anyone have an idea how to import Contacts Groups via API?

This is the function on the website:

Thanks very much

Andreas

Hi @Andreas

Thanks for reaching out to the Zoom Developer Forum, I am happy to help here!  
Have you tried calling the Add IM directory group members endpoint?
