Hi,

Is there a way to create mention groups programmatically? I searched through the docs but I’m unable to find an endpoint that does this. I was thinking it’d be a parameter in the request body when creating or updating a channel but that doesn’t seem to be the case.

Any help would be awesome… thank you

Hi @fscn909  
Thanks for reaching out to us and welcome to our Zoom Developer Forum!  
Have you tried using our Invite channel members endpoint?

> **[Zoom Team Chat API](https://developers.zoom.us/docs/api/rest/reference/chat/methods/#operation/InviteUserLevelChannelMembers)**
>
> API Reference for /docs/api/rest/reference/chat/methods

When using this endpoint you can pass a members array with the emails of the members that you want to add.

All this does is adds users to a channel. What I want to do is create a mention group and add certain users to that mention group within the channel
