Uniquely identify user based on the URL they have joined

Hey @gajus,

There is no way to do this via a URL, but it is built in using the registrant and participant IDs.

Please see my posts here for more details:

Mapping join and leave of participants webhook events with users on our application

Description I am trying to find a way to utilize the webhooks to determine when specific participants enter and leave a meeting created via API. We have a database of users on our application that we want to store their attendance within meetings. How can we map our users to the webhook data provided? What is the best way to map webhook event payloads to specific unique users on our application? Which App Type (OAuth / Chatbot / JWT / Webhook)? Webhook & JWT https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs…

What is user_id in Dashboard API meeting participant?

Hey @vicker, The user_id is the id of the participant unique to a single meeting. It is used to map registrations to webhooks and the dashboard APIs. See this thread for more info: Thanks, Tommy

What is easiest way to map user in my data base to one with in zoom apis?

Hey @gkapatia, I would suggest mapping Zoom users to users in your database via the userID. The userID is a globally unique user identifier. One easy way of doing this is by using the Participant Joined Meeting Webhook event and grabbing the payload > object > participant > id (globally unique userID) and adding it to the respective user in your database. Let me know if that helps! Thanks, Tommy

Thanks,
Tommy
