Hi @innoboost ,

Good question! You can use our Create Webinar API for this:

> **[Create a webinar - Webinars - Zoom API - API Reference](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/webinars/webinarcreate)**
>
> Use this API to schedule a webinar for a user (host). For user-level apps, pass the me value instead of the userId parameter.
> 
> Zoom users with a Webinar...

You will want to leverage the template\_id field:

Thanks!  
Will

@[will.zoom](https://devforum.zoom.us/u/will.zoom) Greetings.  
I’m not able to make this work. What’s wrong with the process I’m using?

I’m getting the userId from this api:  
/users/me

I’m getting the template\_id from this api:  
/users/me/webinar\_templates

then I’m calling:  
/users/{userId}/webinars?template\_id={template\_id}  
{post data}

OR  
/users/{userId}/webinars  
{“template\_id”:" template\_id", other post data}

The api response is 200 but the webinar does not have the template\_id applied.  
What’s wrong with it?

thanks in advance.

Hi @claudio.mazza.docebo ,

Are you using an Admin level template, and have you had Admin Level templates enabled by our Support Team?

Thanks,  
Will
