This video showcases the SpawnDefaultToken script, which can be used to summon PC tokens, monsters, and spell effects in Roll20. Note that a Pro account is required in order to use the API. The SpawnDefaultToken script is available in the Roll20 API Script library.
Documentation for the script can be found here - app.roll20.net...
Example showing how to spawn a character:
!Spawn{{
--name|Grolf

Note: A new version of the script was released after this video was recorded. If you're having trouble with hp bars not being correct when summoning party members, please read this: app.roll20.net...
