Zoom forcing Registration Required

Status: Open · Asked by PDN Projects on · 0 views

projects@developernetwork — Question ·

Hi all, I've got a custom API element creating a Zoom meeting and whilst it successfully creates the meeting event in Zoom, it forces the settings to be 'Registration - Required'.

I've tried many different settings to stop this and have also checked the back end Zoom settings from the Admin log-in, but it's still not working.

Here is my current code -

{
"topic": "1. NAME : Test Event",
"type": 2,
"start_time": "2. Result : 2025-05-01T14:00:00+10:00",
"duration": 180,
"timezone": "Australia/Brisbane",
"settings": {
"host_video": true,
"participant_video": true,
"join_before_host": true,
"mute_upon_entry": true,
"waiting_room": false,
"approval_type": 0,
"meeting_authentication": true,
"auto_recording": "cloud",
"audio": "voip",
"alternative_hosts": "[email hidden]",
"in_meeting": false,
"close_registration": true,
"registrants_email_notification": false,
"registrants_confirmation_email": false,
"registration_type": null,
"use_pmi": false,
"enforce_login": false,
"authentication_option": "",
"approved_or_denied_countries_or_regions": {
"enable": false
}
}
}

The end point I am using is - https://api.zoom.us/v2/users/me/meetings

Is there anyone that wouldn't mind taking a look to see if I'm missing something?

Hello @projects@developernetwork,

The API endpoint you provided does not appear to be valid. Could you please share the correct API documentation from the official Zoom API docs? This will help us better understand the issue and assist you more effectively.

Looking forward to your response.

Hi Preeti, thanks for your reply.

It's valid because it's working to create the meetings on the Zoom website, but I just can't work out how to stop the 'Registration' checkbox from being ticked.

The workflow is - https://connect.pabbly.com/workflow/mapping/IjU3NjYwNTY5MDYzNjA0Mzc1MjZkNTUzMDUxMzUi_pc

The step I am struggling with is 'Step 3' (disregard the others for now)

Thanks again for your help here.

Please share the API documentation from which you obtained this cURL command.

Hello @projects@developernetwork,

Upon reviewing the API documentation, we noticed that the registration type can be set to three values: 1, 2, or 3, with the default being 1. Currently, in the action, you are passing null, which results in the default value being applied in real time (1), meaning attendees register once and attend recurring occurrences.

However, as per the API documentation, there doesn’t seem to be an option to disable registration.

Let us know if you need further assistance.

Thanks for checking. There must be a way to create meetings without requiring registration, I'll keep researching.

The reason we can't use the Pabbly in-built action is because it doesnt give many of the options we need to turn on/off (as per the above data parameters).

Would Pabbly ever consider allowing more options to choose from when creating Zoom meetings for the in-built action? These are the ones we are specifically missing in case it helps -

We have escalated your concern to our technical team. Any fields listed in the API documentation that are feasible to add will be considered for implementation. Our team will work on incorporating them, and we will update you as soon as there are further developments.

Hello @projects@developernetwork,

Our team has added a few new fields in the Create Meeting and Update Meeting actions. Please try using these actions and let us know if they work fine for you.

Looking forward to your feedback.

Thanks so much Preeti and team, this is great!

I've just done a test and it works, thank you, but we're just missing the 'alternate host' option. If you have the ability to add this, that would be great. But please don't rush as I have put the Custom API request in place in the meantime.

Thanks again for your help here

Thanks Preeti, I've seen the field there now and it's the only we need, so that's great.

Thanks so much again! I've literally just been speaking to another client this morning about how amazing the Pabbly team are and how much she would benefit from moving away from Zapier and Make! :-) I'll continue to let everyone know.
