Created Meetings Not Appearing

API and Webhooks
1

Description
POSTing a request using an email address to create a meeting does create the meeting, but the meetings don’t show up on calendars or in the Zoom app or client. If I’m the host, the co-host gets an email invite, but if I’m the co-host, I do not.
We can join the meetings, and they are being recorded.

Error
No error message, but meeting not showing up on any calendars. See screenshot below of alternate host invite.

Which App Type (OAuth / Chatbot / JWT / Webhook)?
JWT

Which Endpoint/s?
/v2/users/{email}/meetings

How To Reproduce (If applicable)
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

const createZoomMeeting = () => {
  const meetingOptions = {
    topic: 'Zoom Meeting created with Google Script',
    type: 1,
    start_time: '2021-09-23T17:10:00',
    duration: 30,
    timezone: 'America/Chicago',
    schedule_for: ZOOM_EMAIL,
    password: 'sample',
    agenda: 'Discuss the product launch',
    settings: {
      auto_recording: 'cloud',
      mute_upon_entry: true,
      participant_video: false,
      alternative_hosts: ALT_HOST,
    },
  };

  const call_uri = "https://api.zoom.us/v2/users/" + ZOOM_EMAIL + "/meetings";

  const request = UrlFetchApp.fetch(
    call_uri,
    {
      method: 'POST',
      contentType: 'application/json',
      headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${getZoomAccessToken()}` },
      payload: JSON.stringify(meetingOptions),
    }
  );
  const { join_url, id } = JSON.parse(request.getContentText());
  Logger.log(`Zoom meeting ${id} created`, join_url);
  Logger.log('join url: %s',join_url);
};

Hi @keight,

Can you try adding the following field to your JSON?
pre_schedule: false

Let me know if this helps,
Will

Done - does not help. Same issues.

Hi @keight,

Thanks for giving that a try, and my apologies for not catching this earlier—I can see that you’re scheduling the meeting as type=1, which is an instant meeting. These meetings will not show up in the dashboard, and this is expected behavior.

To generate a standard meeting that will appear in the UI as expected, you will need to specify type=2, for a “scheduled meeting”.

Let me know if this helps,
Will

Updated: still nothing

const createZoomMeeting = () => {
  const meetingOptions = {
    topic: 'Zoom Meeting created with Google Script - 5:10pm dallas',
    type: 2,
    start_time: '2021-09-29T21:45:00Z',
    duration: 45,
    pre_schedule: false,
    schedule_for: ZOOM_EMAIL,
    agenda: 'Discuss the product launch',
  };

  const call_uri = "https://api.zoom.us/v2/users/" + ZOOM_EMAIL + "/meetings";

  const request = UrlFetchApp.fetch(
    call_uri,
    {
      method: 'POST',
      contentType: 'application/json',
      headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${getZoomAccessToken()}` },
      payload: JSON.stringify(meetingOptions),
    }
  );
  const { join_url, id } = JSON.parse(request.getContentText());
  Logger.log(`Zoom meeting ${id} created`, join_url);
  Logger.log('join url: %s',join_url);
};

Hi @keight,

Thank you for confirming. In order for us to take a closer look, can you please submit a ticket at devsupport.zoom.us (you will need to sign in) and include the user and account details under which the meeting is attempted to be scheduled? We will be happy to help further debug.

Thanks,
Will
