Each value can be: * A **UUID string** referencing an existing availability * An **inline availability object** (same structure as top-level `availability`) that will be created automatically ```json theme={null} { "channelAvailabilities": { "phone": "existing-availability-uuid", "local": { "name": "In-Person Hours", "timezone": "Europe/Berlin", "schedule": { "monday": { "enabled": true, "hours": [{ "start": "10:00", "end": "16:00" }] }, "tuesday": { "enabled": true, "hours": [{ "start": "10:00", "end": "16:00" }] }, "wednesday": { "enabled": false, "hours": [] }, "thursday": { "enabled": false, "hours": [] }, "friday": { "enabled": false, "hours": [] }, "saturday": { "enabled": false, "hours": [] }, "sunday": { "enabled": false, "hours": [] } } } } } ``` Channels not included in `channelAvailabilities` use the meeting type's default availability. Omit `schedule` from an inline availability object to create an exceptions-only availability (all days disabled by default). This is useful for channels available only at specific times. ### availability Create availability inline instead of referencing an existing `availabilityId`. Uses the same structure as the [Availability API](/developer-docs/core-concepts/availability). | Field | Type | Required | Description | | ------------ | ------ | -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `name` | string | Yes | Name for the availability schedule | | `timezone` | string | Yes | IANA timezone (e.g., `Europe/Berlin`) | | `schedule` | object | No | Weekly recurring schedule ([format](/developer-docs/core-concepts/availability#schedule-format)). If omitted, all days default to disabled. | | `exceptions` | array | No | Date-specific overrides ([format](/developer-docs/core-concepts/availability#exceptions-only-availability)) | For ticket-based scheduling with specific time slots, omit `schedule` and use only `exceptions`. See [Exceptions-Only Availability](/developer-docs/core-concepts/availability#exceptions-only-availability). ### metadata Key-value pairs for integration with external systems. Included in webhook payloads. | Constraint | Limit | | ---------------- | -------------- | | Max keys | 20 | | Max value length | 500 characters | | Value type | String only | ### ics Customize the calendar invite (ICS) that attendees and hosts receive. Each field accepts either a **plain string** or a **multi-language object**. If omitted, sensible defaults are used. | Field | Type | Description | | ------------- | ---------------- | ----------------------------------- | | `title` | string \| object | Calendar event title template | | `description` | string \| object | Calendar event description template | | `location` | string \| object | Calendar event location template | When you pass a **plain string**, it is stored under the company's default language. When you pass an **object**, each key is a language code (e.g. `en`, `de`) mapping to the template for that language. Use dynamic tags as placeholders — they are replaced with actual values when the calendar invite is generated. See [Update Meeting Type - Dynamic Tags](/api-reference/meeting-types/update-meeting-type#dynamic-tags) for the full list. ### options | Field | Type | Description | | ------------------- | ------- | ----------------------------------------- | | `createOneTimeLink` | boolean | Create and return a one-time booking link | ## Examples ### Basic Request ```bash cURL theme={null} curl -X POST "https://api.meetergo.com/v4/meeting-type" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \ -H "x-meetergo-api-user-id: 550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{ "meetingInfo": { "name": "Quick 15min Chat", "description": "A quick call to discuss your questions", "duration": 15, "channel": "google" }, "slug": "quick-chat" }' ``` ```javascript JavaScript theme={null} const response = await fetch('https://api.meetergo.com/v4/meeting-type', { method: 'POST', headers: { 'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_KEY', 'x-meetergo-api-user-id': '550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000', 'Content-Type': 'application/json' }, body: JSON.stringify({ meetingInfo: { name: 'Quick 15min Chat', description: 'A quick call to discuss your questions', duration: 15, channel: 'google' }, slug: 'quick-chat' }) }); const meetingType = await response.json(); ``` ```python Python theme={null} import requests response = requests.post( 'https://api.meetergo.com/v4/meeting-type', headers={ 'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_KEY', 'x-meetergo-api-user-id': '550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000', 'Content-Type': 'application/json' }, json={ 'meetingInfo': { 'name': 'Quick 15min Chat', 'description': 'A quick call to discuss your questions', 'duration': 15, 'channel': 'google' }, 'slug': 'quick-chat' } ) meeting_type = response.json() ``` ### With Buffers ```json theme={null} { "meetingInfo": { "name": "Product Demo", "description": "A 45-minute walkthrough of our product features", "duration": 45, "channel": "zoom", "bufferBefore": 15, "bufferAfter": 10 }, "slug": "product-demo" } ``` ### With Custom Channel ```json theme={null} { "meetingInfo": { "name": "Webinar Session", "description": "Join our interactive webinar", "duration": 60, "channel": "custom", "customChannelName": "Company Webinar Platform", "customChannelLink": "https://webinar.example.com/room/abc123" } } ``` ### With In-Person Location ```json theme={null} { "meetingInfo": { "name": "Office Consultation", "description": "In-person meeting at our office", "duration": 45, "channel": "local" }, "locations": ["123 Main St, Suite 200, Berlin"] } ``` When multiple locations are provided, the attendee can choose on the booking page: ```json theme={null} { "meetingInfo": { "name": "On-Site Visit", "description": "Meet us at one of our offices", "duration": 60, "channel": "local" }, "locations": ["Berlin Office - Friedrichstr. 123", "Munich Office - Marienplatz 5"] } ``` ### With Metadata Store custom data for integration with external systems: ```json theme={null} { "meetingInfo": { "name": "Property Evaluation", "description": "On-site property evaluation", "duration": 60, "channel": "phone" }, "metadata": { "ticketId": "EVAL-12345", "propertyAddress": "123 Main St", "source": "crm-integration" } } ``` ### With Specific Time Slots (Exceptions Only) Create availability with specific datetime slots only—no recurring weekly schedule: ```json theme={null} { "meetingInfo": { "name": "Ticket Consultation", "description": "One-time consultation for ticket #12345", "duration": 60, "channel": "phone" }, "availability": { "name": "Ticket Availability", "timezone": "Europe/Berlin", "exceptions": [ { "available": true, "start": "2026-01-27T10:00", "end": "2026-01-27T11:00" }, { "available": true, "start": "2026-01-27T14:00", "end": "2026-01-27T15:00" }, { "available": true, "start": "2026-01-28T09:00", "end": "2026-01-28T10:00" } ] }, "metadata": { "ticketId": "EVAL-12345" } } ``` When `schedule` is omitted from `availability`, the weekly schedule defaults to all days disabled. Only the specified `exceptions` define available booking windows. ### With One-Time Link Create a meeting type with a one-time booking link in a single API call: ```json theme={null} { "meetingInfo": { "name": "Scheduled Callback", "description": "One-time callback for support case", "duration": 30, "channel": "phone" }, "availability": { "name": "Callback Availability", "timezone": "Europe/Berlin", "exceptions": [ { "available": true, "start": "2026-01-27T10:00", "end": "2026-01-27T11:00" } ] }, "metadata": { "caseId": "CASE-789" }, "options": { "createOneTimeLink": true } } ``` ### With Multiple Channels and Channel Availabilities Create a meeting type where the attendee can choose between channels, each with its own availability: ```json theme={null} { "meetingInfo": { "name": "Sales Call", "description": "Choose your preferred meeting format", "duration": 30, "channel": "zoom" }, "meetingOptions": { "allowedChannels": ["zoom", "phone", "local"], "channelAvailabilities": { "phone": "660e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440001", "local": { "name": "In-Person Hours", "timezone": "Europe/Berlin", "schedule": { "monday": { "enabled": true, "hours": [{ "start": "10:00", "end": "16:00" }] }, "tuesday": { "enabled": true, "hours": [{ "start": "10:00", "end": "16:00" }] }, "wednesday": { "enabled": false, "hours": [] }, "thursday": { "enabled": false, "hours": [] }, "friday": { "enabled": false, "hours": [] }, "saturday": { "enabled": false, "hours": [] }, "sunday": { "enabled": false, "hours": [] } } }, "zoom": { "name": "No Zoom Fridays", "timezone": "Europe/Berlin", "exceptions": [ { "available": false, "start": "2026-03-07T00:00", "end": "2026-03-07T23:59", "title": "No Zoom Friday" } ] } } }, "availability": { "name": "Default Schedule", "timezone": "Europe/Berlin", "schedule": { "monday": { "enabled": true, "hours": [{ "start": "09:00", "end": "17:00" }] }, "tuesday": { "enabled": true, "hours": [{ "start": "09:00", "end": "17:00" }] }, "wednesday": { "enabled": true, "hours": [{ "start": "09:00", "end": "17:00" }] }, "thursday": { "enabled": true, "hours": [{ "start": "09:00", "end": "17:00" }] }, "friday": { "enabled": true, "hours": [{ "start": "09:00", "end": "17:00" }] }, "saturday": { "enabled": false, "hours": [] }, "sunday": { "enabled": false, "hours": [] } } } } ``` When `allowedChannels` has more than one entry, channel selection is automatically enabled on the booking page.
