Webinar/event templates in scheduler

[Rudrakshi]

Query from Carlos Venegas in #webex4devs space

For the XML API for Events, is it possible to use a template to schedule events?. For meetings, we can use it but I don't know if it's feasible to use it at Events

[Mike Palkovich]

The scheduling templates can be set for the Classic Events just like it is done for Webex Meetings by using the <sessionTemplate> element which is a sub-element of <metaData>.  

You can set a specific scheduling template by name:

<sessionTemplate>
  <use>Template Name</use>
</sessionTemplate> 

Or you can select the default scheduling template (configured in the Meeting site settings by an administrator) by setting:

<sessionTemplate>
   <default>true</default>
</sessionTemplate> 

Please note that the new Webinars are only supported in the REST API which use the templateId to specify the scheduling templates.
