I am creating an OAUTH application and intend to publish this on the Zoom marketplace for my clients to install this. I have a question though about identifying clients using the authorization url.

Once I publish this app and lets say two of my clients X and Y installs this app on their account.  
When they authorize and install - is there a way where I can identify the Client using the authorization url?  
Any help here is appreciated.

> Hey @dave2 , Thank you for clarifying, and my sincere apologies for not catching your concern from the onset. I understand now that you’re essentially looking to make this connection with a customer’s Account ID as soon as they authorize/install the app, so that you can then have this record on your end when they uninstall (but please correct me if I’m misunderstanding). While there’s not a completely straight forward way to track this, there is a suggestion I can make: When an account author…

Does this help?
