1. Duration is rather large… ```auto { "event": "meeting.created", "payload": { "account_id": "SG7cyaTzRoqSEyRnb4Djeg", "operator": "xx", "operator_id": "_jneLUhhQTmF09bdksDaiQ", "object": { "uuid": "i07xafRQT+OLz+P/XHQHEQ==", "id": 436623359, "host_id": "_jneLUhhQTmF09bdksDaiQ", "topic": "Zoom Meeting", "type": 1, "duration": 808529459 } } } ``` What use is that number to me? 1. Meeting ended event provides the start\_time, not end\_time ```auto { "event": "meeting.ended", "payload": { "account_id": "SG7cyaTzRoqSEyRnb4Djeg", "object": { "duration": 808529459, "start_time": "2019-09-27T12:00:40Z", "timezone": "", "topic": "Zoom Meeting", "id": "436623359", "type": 1, "uuid": "i07xafRQT+OLz+P/XHQHEQ==", "host_id": "_jneLUhhQTmF09bdksDaiQ" } } } ``` Again the duration is wildly inaccurate. If it was correct, I could deduce the end time. Because of these 2 bugs I must fetch the past meeting instance. 1. Hooks seem to be re-sent hours later? ```auto { "event": "recording.resumed", "payload": { "account_id": "SG7cyaTzRoqSEyRnb4Djeg", "object": { "uuid": "ypsgTTsBRrKONekWUNjZgg==", "id": 536849397, "host_id": "_jneLUhhQTmF09bdksDaiQ", "topic": "Zoom Meeting", "type": 1, "start_time": "2019-09-27T12:35:05Z", ``` This meeting ended 2h ago. Why am I getting this event just now? ---

Hi @jimig, Happy to Help. > [@jimig](#): > > 1.

We are also currently investigating if this was a bug within our system. > [@jimig](#): > > 1.

If it was correct, I could deduce the end time. Because of these 2 bugs I must fetch the past meeting instance. We have taken your feedback under consideration, and have decided to include this field within the event. I have added this as a feature request within our system (ID: ZOOM-112120) and sent it to the engineering team. The “end\_time” field will be added to this event in one of our future releases. Please follow our [changelog](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/changelog) for further updates. > [@jimig](#): > > 1.

Why am I getting this event just now? After receiving a notification, your **Event Notification Endpoint URL** should respond with either a `200` or a `204` HTTP status code within **three seconds** for Zoom to consider that the notification was successfully delivered. Zoom will try to deliver the notification for **up to three times** for an event. Can you confirm that you sent a response to Zoom after the notification was delivered to you? For more information, please visit: [https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/webhook-reference#notification-delivery](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/webhook-reference#notification-delivery) Thanks, Ojus ---

Hi Ojus, Thanks for taking a look. With 1, yes it was instant (I guess this means the PMI is used implicitly). It was created in the Zoom client. 2, I can now see the webhook is updated, thanks! 1. I think we did respond with a 204, but this was rather delayed. That would explain it. ---
