Host can not register for webinar

API and Webhooks
1

I created a webinar using the API (webinarId 91073999662). Then I add participants, panelists and set alternative hosts using the API. To make sure that the list of participants does not intersect with the list of alternative hosts, I set the “alternative_hosts” property to an empty string before adding participants and panelists.

However doing so I still get “code: 3027; msg: Webinar host can not register for the webinar” when I register 34657011@clsaforum.com. The webinar host email is forumwebinar100@clsaforum.com.

This behavior seems to occur sporadically.

The simplest way to trigger the message is to go to https://clsa.zoom.com/webinar/register/WN_4cHcPqALT_uXAsWfRKoLAg and try to register 34657011@clsaforum.com. It should say cannot register host, but the host is forumwebinar100@clsaforum.com and the alternative_hosts field is empty.

Hey @jimmy.tang,

Thanks for reaching out about this—I’m happy to take a closer look.

Can you please share the Add Registrant request URL and Body that you’re passing when you get this error?

Thanks,
