# Zoom Events Something changed with #_EVENTLOCATION{join_url} ?

 * Hello,
 * #_EVENTLOCATION{join_url} worked just fine until a week ago, for sending confirmation
   emails to users once registered, or (display on a web page) EG. In the confirmation
   email, this would provide them with a direct link to join the meeting. IE:
    URL:
   [https://us02web.zoom.us/j/83271468562?pwd=ZnExWXIvbU5LYTVDLzFEM1RCc21NQT09](https://us02web.zoom.us/j/83271468562?pwd=ZnExWXIvbU5LYTVDLzFEM1RCc21NQT09)
 * Now, the same process provide them with a link like this :
    URL: [https://us02web.zoom.us/j/86571046284](https://us02web.zoom.us/j/86571046284)
   so that they are now requested by zoom to register to the meeting
 * Note that I always selected “registration required, Manual approval” when creating
   my zoom events thru the plugin
 * I can see that the user’s emails are actually registered in zoom with a “approved”
   status. I can also see that Zoom now sends it’s own confirmation email with a
   valid direct join link (no need to register using this link)
 * The above shows that things have changed in Zoom and/or Event Manager
 * Which place-holder should I now use to get and display a valid direct join link?
   or maybe the “join_url” placeholder is no longer provisioned correctly with the
   changes having taken place in Zoom ? Just guessing
 * Thanks for your help
 * Lionel

 * Hi ,
    Moving forward, 1. I found that the “#_EVENTLOCATION{join_url}” placeholder
   is no longer usable when registration is required. In that case, the #_BOOKINGZOOMJOINLINK
   is what I was looking for, IE., a direct link for the participant to join the
   meeting. This placeholder works well in the confirmation email … … but it does
   not seem to be working in the single event page format, where I used to display
   the join_url on the event page, whenever the logged in user has a booking. If
   I replace #_EVENTLOCATION{join_url} by #_BOOKINGZOOMJOINLINK in the following
   code, #_BOOKINGZOOMJOINLINK does not get translated:
 *     ```
       {is_user_attendee_1}
       <p>
            <a href="#_EVENTLOCATION{join_url}">Lien de connection</a> <br/>
            Meeting ID : #_EVENTLOCATION{id} <br/>
            Meeting Password : #_EVENTLOCATION{password} <br/>
       </p>
       {/is_user_attendee_1}
       ```
   
 * 2. Until this is solved, I decided to create my events with “no registration 
   required”. Problem here is, no confirmation email is sent to the participants
   after I approve their bookings.
 * Looks like I’m stuck here … could someone please take a look into this ?
 * Thank you
 * Lionel
