I’m trying to send the results of automatic unit tests to a Zoom channel via script. Unfortunately, I can’t seem to find the necessary information for authentication. I found the related discusssion [Send chat messages via API](https://devforum.zoom.us/t/send-chat-messages-via-api/8524) . I created a ChatBot App and added it to my account. However, I don’t understand how I can get the robot\_jid of my ChatBot. Also, where can I find the channel to\_jid? ---

Hi @peter.amberg, You can find the robot\_jid when you add the endpoint URLs into your chat app and save them you’ll see the robot\_jid. The [Get Channels response body](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/chat-channels-account-level/getchannels#responses) you will find the `id` of the channel Let me know if you have any other questions! ---

I’m still not sure where to find the robot\_jid. When I go to Activation \> Add URL, I see only response\_type, client\_id, redirect\_uri. There is no robot\_jid here. Also, the Get Channels endpoint needs a userId. How do I get that? ---

Apparently I also need an Account id. Where do I get this from? ---

Hi @peter.amberg Have you created a chat application under you marketplace account? If so, under the features section, you will see an option to subscribe to events, it will ask you to put in a bot endpoint URL, one for development, one for production, once you save this, you will see a production and development bot JID ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/zoomdeveloper/original/3X/8/2/8204d2869942d4ae373f6228b83e6bf3ae008dd5.png) As for the you account ID, you can get that by making an API call to the [Get User](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/methods/#operation/user) endpoint. You can pass the users email instead of the user ID or the ‘me’ value if it is a user-level app. Let us know if you have any more questions. ---

Why would I need to subscribe to events? All I want, is to post a ChatBot message. The ChatBot is to be used internally by our company only. I am not at the liberty to implement an endpoint that’s open to the internet for this purpose. This is all needlessly complicated. ---
