Webhooks not triggering my callback - Ideas?

Maybe my app is in some state where it doesn’t trigger webhooks?

Your JWT app settings are fine, make sure the JWT app is “Activated”.

It is working now. I added a webhook only app.

Great!

Now I could use restAPI to get the description, but if I do that from the webhook endpoint on my site that was setup with a webhook only app, will that somehow prevent me from getting data via the restAPI?

In order to call the Zoom APIs, you need to use a OAuth or JWT app. This is separate and will not effect your Webhook Only App. Since you already have a JWT app setup, here is a link back on how to call the API’s with a JWT token,

How to use RestAPI to add panelist to my webinar?

Hey @huetherb, thanks for reaching out and using Zoom! For your use case, I would suggest using the JWT App Type as it does not require OAuth. By creating a JWT App Type, you will get a client id and client secret which you can use to create a JWT token to call the Zoom API’s. You can also generate a JWT token on the App Dashboard to easily test it out, [03%20PM] Then in your request header, { "Authorization": "Bearer { JWT TOKEN HERE }" } Let me know if this helps! Thanks, Tommy

Also, I really wish Zoom had a way to categorize and bundle webinars.

You can accomplish this via occurrences, and then limiting the registration on each one. Although I see that there could be more customization here and will add this as a feature request.

Check out the registration_type and approval_type settings when creating a webinar.

Are you a Zoom developer by the way?

I am a Zoom Developer, but I do not work on the Webinars/Webinar API’s.

Thanks,
