I am looking at the webhooks for webinars, and panelist changes do not seem to have an associated webhook. I wondered if the webinar details webhook would be fired when panelist change, but that does not occur.

Am I missing something, or is my only option to regularly poll panelist via the API?

Hey @markvanlan, thanks for posting and using Zoom!

At this time we do not have Panelist Updated Webhooks for webinars.

Can you expand on “panelist changes”?

Thanks,  
Tommy

“panelist changes” = When a new panelist is invited to a webinar, or when a panelist is removed from a webinar. Thanks for getting back quickly 🙂

Hey @markvanlan, happy to help!

Have you tried the [Participant Joined](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/webhook-reference/webinar-events/webinar-participant-joined) / [Left](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/webhook-reference/webinar-events/participant-left) Webhooks?

Thanks,

It seems like that is only for when the webinar is in progress. I am looking for Panelist Changes ™ at any time before the webinar takes place.

Hey @markvanlan,

I see. Unfortunately if the panelists don’t show in the [Webinar Registration Created](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/webhook-reference/webinar-events/webinar-registration-created) then yes, you will have to regularly poll [panelist via the API](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/webinars/webinarpanelists).

I will add the Panelist related webhooks as a feature request. Stay updated here: [https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/changelog](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/changelog)

Thanks,  
Tommy
