Steps
Identify the webinarId for the target webinar.
POST to https://api.zoom.us/v2/webinars/{webinarId}/panelists with a panelists array of {name, email} objects to invite them.
Read back each panelist's id and join_url from the response and distribute it directly, since panelists don't go through the normal registrant flow.
Use GET /webinars/{webinarId}/panelists to list currently invited panelists.
Remove a single panelist with DELETE /webinars/{webinarId}/panelists/{panelistId}, or clear all panelists in one call.
Known gotchas
Panelists are invited by email/name directly — they don't go through registrant approval, so registrant-status logic doesn't apply to them.
Developers have reported the add-panelist call occasionally not reflecting in the dashboard right away — verify with a follow-up GET rather than trusting the POST response alone.
