It extends the hub’s record call [`Meeting.create`](https://startupbuilder.dev/business/nouns/meeting/create), which every [Meeting](https://startupbuilder.dev/business/nouns/meeting) takes. It is one of the [Verbs](https://startupbuilder.dev/business/nouns/verb) of [Scheduling](/code/apps/scheduling#verbs).

## Inputs
| Name | Type | Meaning |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `at` | `datetime` | Required. When it starts. |
| `agenda` | `text` | What it covers. Optional. |
| `transcript` | `text` | What was said. Optional. |
| `deal` | `Deal` | A Meeting moves one deal forward. Optional. |

The hub inherits this call on every Noun: it takes the Meeting’s own Properties, listed on [the hub’s Meeting page](https://startupbuilder.dev/business/nouns/meeting).

## Outputs
| Field | Type | What `null` means |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `meeting` | `Meeting` | Never null: the Meeting as the call leaves it. |

## Effects
**Action class**

None: no approval rule names it, so it runs within its seat’s Permissions and Limits

**Modes**

- `try`: Runs every check and returns the record as it would be; nothing is stored.
- `send`: Returns a pending Action at once; `Meeting.created` fires when it is done.
- `do`: Waits for the Action to finish and returns the record.

**Idempotency**

Only with a key: the same `Idempotency-Key` and input return the first Action, and the same key with other input returns `409`.

**Saved or shared**

The Meeting is saved as the call leaves it, with the Action that changed it.

**Emits**

`Meeting.created` with `{ meeting }`

**Performed by**

Whichever seat calls it

**Price**

Free on your own account: the platform charges nothing for the call.

## On each Venue
It acts on your own records and reaches no Venue, so every account answers the same way.

## What try does
Runs every check the call meets and returns the record as it would be; nothing is stored, sent or posted.

## Refuses when
The hub sets no guard of its own on this call: it refuses only on the shared checks every write meets (a missing record, a Permission the seat lacks).

## When it waits
Returns in one response; nothing waits.

## Example
In `send` mode the call returns its pending Action at once, and `Meeting.created` delivers the result.

**Ask**

```text
Log the call Maria set up from her own calendar for Thursday at 4pm UTC,
on the Harborview deal.
```

**API**

```bash
curl -X POST "https://api.sb/leaseline.app/meetings?mode=send" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SB_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
  "at": "2026-10-29T16:00:00Z",
  "agenda": "Pricing for 1,100 doors; renewal-notice import.",
  "deal": "https://api.sb/leaseline.app/deals/deal_Hv8kD2nQ4s"
}'
```

**CLI**

```bash
npx startup-builder do Meeting.create --send --data '{
  "at": "2026-10-29T16:00:00Z",
  "agenda": "Pricing for 1,100 doors; renewal-notice import.",
  "deal": "https://api.sb/leaseline.app/deals/deal_Hv8kD2nQ4s"
}'
```

`--send` returns the pending Action at once.

**MCP**

```json
{
  "name": "do",
  "arguments": {
    "mode": "send",
    "code": "return await $.Meeting.create({ at: '2026-10-29T16:00:00Z', agenda: 'Pricing for 1,100 doors; renewal-notice import.', deal: 'https://api.sb/leaseline.app/deals/deal_Hv8kD2nQ4s' })"
  }
}
```

**SDK**

```ts
import { $ } from 'startup-builder'

const result = await $.send.Meeting.create({
  at: '2026-10-29T16:00:00Z',
  agenda: 'Pricing for 1,100 doors; renewal-notice import.',
  deal: 'https://api.sb/leaseline.app/deals/deal_Hv8kD2nQ4s',
})
```


```json title="Response, in send mode"
{
  "mode": "send",
  "action": {
    "$id": "https://api.sb/leaseline.app/actions/action_Sd3kQ9vT2w",
    "operation": "Meeting.create",
    "status": "pending",
    "reason": "running"
  }
}
```

To retry, send the same `Idempotency-Key`: the retry returns the first answer for $0. A new key reads again.
