Hello,
I'm trying to make calls to my BBB server through Zapier but I can't setup correctly the checksum.
I read the documentation (https://docs.bigbluebutton.org/dev/webhooks.html#callback-format) but I can't understand the exact string upon which the checksum is generated. (there's a poin at the end of the paragraph where they say "And convert it to a string like in the example below:" but I see no string afterwards)

I saw this: sha1(<callback URL>+<data body>+<shared secret>)

It doesn't work though.
Am I missing something? Any example of how that string should look like?

Thank you very much for any help you can give me!

Check here... i answered your stackoverflow question as well.

https://docs.bigbluebutton.org/dev/api.html#usage

createname=Test+Meeting&meetingID=abc123&attendeePW=111222&moderatorPW=333444639259d4-9dd8-4b25-bf01-95f9567eaf4b

this is what gets hashed to create the checksum that needs to be added. notice no server URL

Hello,

Now that I've read your answer and checked the documentation link... it really seems like I should have probably been able to solve it myself. I was almost there!

Thank you VERY much for the hint, though, you've been really really helpful!!

Kind regards
Davide

I think you need only attendeePW or moderatorPW add your code

At the end the correct formula to calculate the checksum was here:

sha1(api_call_name query_string shared_secret)
NB. spacing must be removed

example:
sha1(createname=Test+Meeting&meetingID=abc123&attendeePW=111222&moderatorPW=333444639259d4-9dd8-4b25-bf01-95f9567eaf4b)


Thank you all for your help!
