I am importing events via a CSV.  We are using VILT for Microsoft Teams to create meetings for said events.

This article describes a numeric parameter "id_tool_account" that is used to identify the webinar.  However, there is no such parameter listed on any of the accounts. There is an Account Name, which contains letters. When I attempt to use the account name, I get at error:

Invalid parameter 'id_tool_account'

If I edit an Account in VILT for Microsoft Teams, I can see three IDs associated with each account: Client ID, Tenant ID, and Tenant Secret. However, these are alphanumeric, and they return the same error.

Does anyone know where to find the ID that the id_tool_account field is looking for?

I’m not aware of a way of accessing this directly via the front end but the following should work. It is a bit fiddly and you will need a superadmin account but you should only need to do it once for each Teams account that you have paired. I have added a video at the bottom to show these steps. 

  1. Create an event using the tool that you wish to include in the upload, or, if you already have one navigate to that event.
  2. Note the event id of the event that you have created. This can be read from the browser bar when you are in the event.
  3. Visit the api browser. You can access the api browser by https://yourdocebodomain/api-browser
  4. Within the api browser go to the Courses service, select Events and Get Event.
  5. Use the OAuth button within the api browser to authenticate.  If you are already logged into the platform in another tab you should just need to hit the Authorise button, as in my video. If not you will be asked for a set of credentials. 
  6. Enter the event id in the event_id field and hit Try. This will display the details of the event in step 1. 
  7. About halfway down you should see an attribute “id_tool_account”. The number alongside is the one you want. 

I have a video of these steps here: https://youtu.be/AiED56QKvwc

Hope that helps.
