# Create a meeting

`POST /v1/meetings`

Creates a new meeting record. This endpoint only supports creation of meetings in the past. The `$title`, `$startDate`, and `$endDate` fields are required. Only the `$transcript` relationship is writable on create; all other meeting relationships are system-managed. The `$account` and `$opportunity` relationships are read-only and are derived from the meeting's `$contact` attendees and the accounts/opportunities those contacts belong to. The response is privacy-aware and includes a read-only `accessLevel`. See <u>[Uploading meeting transcripts](/using-the-api/uploading-meeting-transcripts/)</u> for the full file upload and transcript attachment flow.

Supports idempotency via the `Idempotency-Key` header.
