Hey @steven.wadsworth,

You can change the Webinar email settings via the [Update a Webinar endpoint](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/webinars/webinarupdate).

Request Body \> `"settings"` \> `"registrants_emai_notification"` and `"registrants_confirmation_email"`.

Thanks,  
Tommy

I just tried it and my Email Settings for the event say “No reminder email to Attendees and Panelists”

Hey @steven.wadsworth,

Looks like that field can not be edited with the API. We will work on adding this. (ZOOM-135261)

Thanks,

Hi Tommy,  
At present, when the webinar is created via API, the default value for the “Send Reminder Email to Approved Registrants and Panelists” setting is set as " \*\* 1-hour\*\* before the webinar start date and time".  
Is there a way we could update the value of the _Send Reminder Email to Approved Registrants and Panelists_ setting via API. Like instead of 1 hour, if we can update it to ! day or 1 week via API?

JFYI, `"registrants_emai_notification"` and `"registrants_confirmation_email"` checkbox are already set as true in the webinar response at the time of creation.

Hey @arjun.bsci,

We currently do not have this setting available in our APIs.

Is it planned in the short term?

Hey @dcostas,

This functionality has not yet been added to the API—while it’s still something we hope to support in a future release, we don’t have an exact timeline for this at the moment.

Thanks,  
Will
