Zoom webinar registration with dynamic meeting ID

Hi @edweiss 

Have you tested this Zap setup to see if the issue still exists with Zoom and dynamic IDs?

@Troy Tessalone Yes, that’s why I’m posting about it! :)  Zaps with dynamic meeting IDs still won’t pull up required fields from the Zoom registration options, and don’t reliably work even if no additional fields are required.

Best would be to open a ticket with Zapier Support to inquire further about the status of this limitation: https://zapier.com/app/get-help

The problem for some apps with some dynamically mapped variables is that the underlying APIs don’t know what fields to return, hence the issue/error.

Hey @edweiss, thanks for reaching out about this! :)

I’ve checked on the bug report that was being discussed in that related topic you referenced and it’s indeed still open. It looks as though you reached out to our Support team about this and they’ve suggested a workaround. You’ve been added to that bug report so we’ll be in touch as soon as it’s resolved. In the meantime, hopefully the workaround our Support team suggested allowed you to get your Zap working?

In case anyone else is running into the same issue here’s the workaround that Support suggested:
 

So it’s a similar process to the one mentioned in the article Troy linked to. You’d select the webinar from the dropdown, map any necessary fields and then switch back to using that dynamic webinar ID. You’ll likely see “Extra Fields” appearing at the bottom of the Zoom step with a button to remove them - you can just ignore that and click the Continue button. Then run a test to see whether the registration is able to go through.
 
Hope that helps!
