I need to create users with custom attributes that have already been created in user interface.  
In other words, in addition to the basic fields that the documentation shows, I can create them with my own additional fields. How could you do it?

{  
“action”: “create”,  
“user\_info”:{  
“first\_name”: “PABLO”,  
“last\_name”: “ANDRES”,  
“email”: “[pablovaldes@email.com](mailto:pablovaldes@email.com)”,  
“type”: 1,  
“password”: “pass2020”  
}  
}

what is required  
{  
“action”: “create”,  
“user\_info”:{  
“first\_name”: “PABLO”,  
“last\_name”: “ANDRES”,  
“email”: “[pablovaldes@email.com](mailto:pablovaldes@email.com)”,  
“type”: 1,  
“password”: “pass2020” ,  
“custom\_attributes”: [  
{

```
                "name": "SAM",
                "value": "aqui_text_campo_personalizado"
            },
            {
                
                "name": "ROLE",
                "value": "aqui_text_campo_personalizado"
            },
            {
             
                "name": "JORNADA",
                "value": "aqui_text_campo_personalizado"
            },
            {
         
                "name": "SEDE",
               "value": "aqui_text_campo_personalizado"
            },
            {
               
                "name": "RUT",
               "value": "aqui_text_campo_personalizado"
            }
        ]

            }

```

Hi @dte,

You will need to first set the `name` value you for your custom attributes, and then you can add/update them via API. Let me now if this thread helps:

> [@Updating custom\_attributes values for users](https://devforum.zoom.us/t/updating-custom-attributes-values-for-users/24460/4):
>
> Hey @ian.altgilbers, I figured it out. You have to add the custom attribute first here which sets the name value: [https://zoom.us/account/user#/advanced](https://zoom.us/account/user#/advanced) Then you can update the attribute: { "custom\_attributes":[{ "key":"cbf\_8y1njyfmtsk1hnbazp2ucw","name":"test","value":"set from API" }] } Thanks, Tommy

Thanks,  
Will

Perfect thanks, effectively first create then update works.
