Hi, webinar description is not being sent when retrieving a webinar via the API.

**Which App Type (OAuth / Chatbot / JWT / WebHook)?**  
JWT / WebHook

**Which Endpoint/s?**  
[https://api.zoom.us/v2//webinars/{webinarId}](https://api.zoom.us/v2//webinars/%7BwebinarId%7D)

**How To Reproduce (If applicable)**  
Just retrieve any webinar via the API.

Hey @n.fragkos, thanks for posting and using Zoom!

The Webinar Description is the `"agenda"` property when using the [API](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/webinars/webinar).

Hi tommy thanks for your reply. You are right with the API the agenda (description) is returned when retrieving a webinar. However it doesn’t return the agenda with the webhook method. I guess I have to retrieve the webinar via the API call.

Hey @n.fragkos,

What I would suggest is using both the Webhook and the Get Webinar endpoint.

Once you receive the respective [Webinar Webhook](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/webhook-reference/webinar-events/webinar-created), then call the [Get Webinar endpoint](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/webinars/webinar) to get the additional webinar info.

Thanks,  
Tommy
