Hello community,

**Description**  
More than 4 months I can not delivery feature on top [meeting.chat\_message\_file\_sent](https://developers.zoom.us/docs/meeting-sdk/webhooks/#operation/meeting.chat_message_file_sent) webhook for my client. The initial [topic](https://devforum.zoom.us/t/trouble-activating-webhooks-for-meeting-chat-message-sent-meeting-chat-message-file-sent/107362) was closed, so i open this.

**Timeline** :

- 13th March 2024 i requested to enable this chat\_message\_file\_sent and chat\_message\_sent webhooks.
- 15th April 2024 after many messages support confirmed that there is a bug, what will be fixed in the June 15th release
- 17th June 2024 Zoom released Enhanced chat notifications, but [release notes](https://developers.zoom.us/changelog/meetings/june-17-2024/) doesn’t provide any details. I can confirm that after this release we see chat\_message\_sent events, but not chat\_message\_file\_sent.
- 3th Jul 2024 the client dev team requested to enable chat\_message\_file\_sent webhook
- 17th Jul the support team already rejected two tickets as already webhook enabled, but we still don’t have chat\_message\_file\_sent

**Reproduce steps**

1. Create a Zoom server-to-server oAuth App (we actually have such results with General App and Webhook Only App)
2. Follow documentation:  
2.1 Enable DLP  
2.2 Enable Event Subscriptions with **In-meeting chat message received** and **In-meeting chat message file received**  
2.3 Get the request approval from Zoom support
3. Check that you have chat\_message\_sent, but not chat\_message\_file\_sent when you send in a meeting file.

**Questions** :

1. Is chat\_message\_sent and chat\_message\_file\_sent webhooks has the same approval or different? Maybe support or backend team are wrong and just not enable this feature?
2. Who can help with enabling or fixing this feature?

Dear community,

Today with @elisa.zoom help i got some progress.

@elisa.zoom advice is

> Please make sure to manually turn on the feature in the web portal by going to Admin tab \> Account Management. \>\> Account settings \> In meeting (advanced) and enable the “Include in-meeting chat files” option

 ![CleanShot 2024-08-01 at 17.17.30@2x](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/zoomdeveloper/original/3X/0/b/0bcf9e7017a0502691e27a01d2fb72669aeada44.png)

I have this enabled, so the support changed something in my account setting or codebase, so I got **meeting.chat\_message\_file\_sent** webhooks notification. Unfortunately, the notification doesn’t have download\_url as described at the webhook notification.
