**Description**  
I am trying to build a powershell script to add team chat channels using this endpoint:  
[https://api.zoom.us/v2/chat/users/userID/channels](https://api.zoom.us/v2/chat/users/userID/channels).

I’ve replaced userID with my unique userID I got by calling [https://api.zoom.us/v2/users/email@user.com?login\_type=101&encrypted\_email=false&search\_by\_unique\_id=false](https://api.zoom.us/v2/users/email@user.com?login_type=101&encrypted_email=false&search_by_unique_id=false) with my zoom account email address.

When I try to use the userID I get the error in the title. I’ve tried using the “me” endpoint and that isn’t working either.

I’ve tried calling other apis without issue, I can do a GET for my user information and for the list of channels but cannot create a new channel.

My Oauth app is active and I have the listed scopes in the API guide applied. My authentication token seems to be good since I can call other endpoints.

Does anyone have any other suggestions to try?

Thank you,  
Mike

If it helps anyone, I found that my issue was that I didn’t specify that the API call was a json application call

Invoke-RestMethod ‘[https://api.zoom.us/v2/chat/users/{userID}/channels](https://api.zoom.us/v2/chat/users/%7BuserID%7D/channels)’ -Method ‘POST’ -Headers @{Authorization = “Bearer $token”} -Body $body -ContentType ‘application/json’
