This endpoint requires a public API bearer token. The authenticated API key identifies the caller integration. The event booker is still created from the submitted booking payload, for example form_field_answers.name and form_field_answers.email.

​
When to use this endpoint

Use this endpoint when you want to create a new booking from your own product, widget, or backend workflow. Common use cases include:
  • Creating a booking after a customer selects a time in your app
  • Passing attendee answers collected in a custom booking flow
  • Saving the selected timezone and meeting location in the same request

​
Authentication notes

This route uses a public API bearer token. The token authenticates your integration, while the attendee details still come from the booking payload you submit.
