I am trying to add the event subscription programmatically, however it looks like existing scopes are not enough and I need an extra scope: `{“code”:201,“message”:“Invalid access token, does not contain scopes:[marketplace:write:event_subscription].”}` I am following Elisa’s article ( [Enabling Event Subscriptions Programmatically](https://devforum.zoom.us/t/enabling-event-subscriptions-programmatically/129108) ) 1. If I add that scope right now to our app that is already approved in the marketplace, will it break anything such as disable the app in the marketplace etc? 2. Would I need to apply for approval process and if so how long would it possibly take? Sebastian ---

hi @Sebastian3 , You want to add a new scope for your app? Adding this to your development version will not affect the live app You can then test your development version and confirm it works Yes, you will then need to submit the new version for approval from Zoom to go live. As it is such a small change, I would think it could get quick approval. OI don’t believe there are any large delays at present. Your users will then need to “approve” the change, as they must confirm approval of adding the extra scope. @elisa.zoom Did I miss anything? Hope that helps John ---

Hi @expertswho Thanks for jumping in here! you are spot on! @Sebastian3 can you please confirm what endpoint are you trying to call when getting that error? you should not need to add the scopes manually, as you can see in the guide, you need to generate an access token using grant\_type=client credentials and you will be able to get an access token with the right scopes ---

> [@elisa.zoom](#): > > grant\_type=client credentials That was my issue. New token of that type. So It seems to has been subscribed and I got a `{“event_subscription_id”:“my_subscription_id”} `then I called `curl --request PATCH ` `–url ``https://api.zoom.us/v2/marketplace/app/event_subscription/``my_subscription_id ` `–header ‘Authorization: Bearer YOUR_SECRET_TOKEN’ ` `–header ‘Content-Type: application/json’ ` `–data ‘{` `“user_ids”: [` `“my_user_id”` `],` `“account_id”: “my_account_id”` `}’`and I got OK 200. Where in the app can i see the subscription? If i go to “Access→Event Subscription” I only see my old event subscriptions. The entire idea was to use an application that is already in marketplace in UAT environment by creating an event subscription to staging url. That was suggested by Abe and Derek. Please advise, Sebastian ---

Hey @Sebastian3 We currently do not support seeing these events in the Marketplace UI, using the same access\_token you generated to create and subscribe to an event subscription You can see them calling the API [https://developers.zoom.us/docs/api/marketplace/#tag/app/get/marketplace/app/event\_subscription](https://developers.zoom.us/docs/api/marketplace/#tag/app/get/marketplace/app/event_subscription) In the response body for this request you will receive a create\_source field with the value of **default** or **openAPI** ---
