API reference

Create meeting

meetings.CreateMeetingWriteAPI key

Create a meeting and return the saved record.

POST/v1/operations/meetings.CreateMeeting
On this page

Access & visibility

Allow meetings.CreateMeeting on your API key. Resource read permissions: core:Meeting. Resource write permissions: core:Meeting.

Workspace access by default. Private member data requires approved member delegation through Brigg-Act-As; the key supplies permissions while private ownership and project boundaries remain enforced.

Request fields

Send a JSON object with the following fields. Required fields must be included; omit optional fields you do not need.

dataMeetingRequired

The record's fields.

Meeting
Meeting basics5 fields
titlestringOptional

Meeting title. May be absent when no title has been supplied.

start_timenumberRequired

Meeting start time in Unix milliseconds. Use a number, not an ISO date string, when filtering this field.

end_timenumberOptional

Meeting end time in Unix milliseconds. May be absent before the meeting ends.

languagestringOptional

Language recorded for the meeting, such as en or no. It may differ from summary_language.

meeting_typestringOptional

Descriptive meeting category in the meeting's language. Free text, not a fixed enum.

Participants and visibility1 fields
participantsarray of string or MeetingParticipantOptional

Attendee names or objects containing a name, email and optional Person record reference.

Item fields

MeetingParticipant

namestringOptional

Display name.

emailstringOptional

Email address.

refstringOptional

Person record ID for this attendee, when matched to a customer contact. It is not a workspace account ID.

Related records3 fields
contact_refsarray of stringOptional

Linked Person record IDs. Use has to filter for a particular contact.

company_refsarray of stringOptional

Linked Company record IDs. Use has to filter for a particular company.

Agenda1 fields
agendaarray of objectOptional

Two-level agenda: topics and optional subtopics. Status tracks how much of each topic was covered.

Item fields
idstringOptional

Stable identifier of this agenda topic or subtopic.

namestringOptional

Topic or subtopic title.

statusstringOptional

Topic coverage: None = not covered, Touched = mentioned, Partial = partly covered, Full = covered. Values are case-sensitive.

Allowed: "None", "Touched", "Partial", "Full".

subtopicsarray of objectOptional

Second-level discussion topics; no deeper nesting is supported.

Item fields
idstringOptional

Stable identifier of this agenda topic or subtopic.

namestringOptional

Topic or subtopic title.

statusstringOptional

Topic coverage: None = not covered, Touched = mentioned, Partial = partly covered, Full = covered. Values are case-sensitive.

Allowed: "None", "Touched", "Partial", "Full".

privatebooleanOptional

Defaults to false: the record is shared with the workspace. True assigns private ownership to the approved acting member and requires member delegation. This is independent of created_by provenance.

Choose ownership deliberately

Omitting private, or setting it to false, creates a workspace-shared record. Set private: true to create a record owned by the approved acting member. Private records require member delegation; a workspace-only credential cannot own a personal record. The credential’s exact resource grants authorize the write; private ownership and project membership remain enforced.

A create is a new record, not an upsert. Reuse the same idempotency key only for retries of that logical creation. For recurring synchronization, use the resource’s upsert operation when available: it matches a permanent external reference. Otherwise keep the returned record ID and use the corresponding update operation for subsequent changes.

Response

Returns 200 OK with a JSON body.

Record metadata sits outside data. Timestamps created_at and updated_at are Unix milliseconds. Optional business fields may be absent; absence does not mean false or zero. A field accepts null only when its type includes null.

An ended meeting is not necessarily summarized yet. Summary fields can be absent while work is pending or when no summary is available; this response does not expose the reason.

Transcript text and recording URLs are not part of this model. Personal notes are a separate resource and retain the acting member's access rules.

itemMeetingRecordRequired

The requested record, including its metadata and data fields.

MeetingRecord
idstringRequired

Stable core:Meeting record ID. Keep this top-level value when reading or referring to this record. Available actions are linked under Next steps; an ID does not imply the resource can be edited.

created_atnumberRequired

Time the record was created, in Unix milliseconds.

updated_atnumberRequired

Time the record most recently changed, in Unix milliseconds. Use with overlapping windows for incremental reads.

created_bystring or nullRequired

Account that originally created the record, or null for a workspace/system-originated record. This is provenance, not its current owner or a Person record ID.

privatebooleanRequired

True for a member-owned private record. An API key needs approved delegation to that owner; false alone does not bypass resource grants or other access rules.

dataMeetingRequired

The record's fields.

Meeting
Meeting basics6 fields
titlestringOptional

Meeting title. May be absent when no title has been supplied.

start_timenumberRequired

Meeting start time in Unix milliseconds. Use a number, not an ISO date string, when filtering this field.

end_timenumberOptional

Meeting end time in Unix milliseconds. May be absent before the meeting ends.

statusstringRequired

Meeting lifecycle state, including live, paused and ended. This is an open string, not a closed enum; tolerate additional states.

languagestringOptional

Language recorded for the meeting, such as en or no. It may differ from summary_language.

meeting_typestringOptional

Descriptive meeting category in the meeting's language. Free text, not a fixed enum.

Participants and visibility3 fields
started_bystringOptional

Host account ID. This is the member identity that owns the meeting; created_by is separate record provenance.

participantsarray of string or MeetingParticipantOptional

Attendee names or objects containing a name, email and optional Person record reference.

Item fields

MeetingParticipant

namestringOptional

Display name.

emailstringOptional

Email address.

refstringOptional

Person record ID for this attendee, when matched to a customer contact. It is not a workspace account ID.

sharing_externalbooleanOptional

Whether external attendees were identified when the meeting was prepared. This is not permission to share the meeting externally; absence means this fact was not recorded.

Summary5 fields
giststringOptional

One- or two-line takeaway from the meeting.

summary_bulletsarray of stringOptional

Key points extracted from the meeting.

summarystringOptional

Full meeting summary formatted as Markdown.

summary_languagestringOptional

Language of the generated summary, such as en or no.

custom_summaryobjectOptional

Instructions and optional example used to generate a custom summary. This is configuration, not the generated summary.

Nested fields
examplestringOptional

Example output illustrating the desired summary style.

instructionsstringOptional

Instructions to follow when generating the summary.

Related records5 fields
calendar_event_idstringOptional

ID of a core:CalendarEvent record. Find it with meetings.ListCalendarEvents and use the top-level id. This is not an account ID or a display name.

conference_urlstringOptional

Conference link from the calendar invitation, when one is available.

contact_refsarray of stringOptional

Linked Person record IDs. Use has to filter for a particular contact.

company_refsarray of stringOptional

Linked Company record IDs. Use has to filter for a particular company.

Agenda1 fields

Phone calls5 fields
call_directionstringOptional

Phone call direction, currently inbound or outbound. Absent for meetings without phone-call metadata.

call_outcomestringOptional

How a phone call ended, including completed, no_answer, busy, declined, canceled or failed. This is an open string.

call_duration_msnumberOptional

Other party's phone number in international E.164 format, such as +4721001234.

call_forwardedbooleanOptional

Whether the incoming call was forwarded from another phone number.

Errors & retries

Set BRIGG_REQUEST_ID once for each logical action. The samples send it as Idempotency-Key. Reuse the same value and body on retries, including after a timeout; a missing response does not prove the action failed.

For rate limits, follow the server’s retry guidance and back off. See HTTP errors and safe retries and limits.

HTTP status Code What to do
400 invalid_json Send a JSON object with Content-Type: application/json.
400 invalid_input Check the request fields and types. Supply a stable Idempotency-Key containing 1–200 characters.
401 invalid_key The workspace API key is missing, invalid or revoked.
403 forbidden Check the key’s operation and resource grants. If Brigg-Act-As is supplied, the key must be authorized to delegate to that member.
404 not_found The requested operation or resource is not available to this credential.
429 rate_limited Wait for Retry-After before retrying. Reuse the original Idempotency-Key.
