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:

> 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
