Hi @dfkkg,

For this, I would recommend provisioning a user under your account who can serve as a “bot” of sorts, for the express purpose of scheduling/creating meetings. You will need to designate a host user in order to create a meeting via API, but you could create a user to serve as a host for this purpose.

You can use this endpoint to create/license a user for this purpose:

Let me know if this helps,

Thanks. Can i test it before buying pro plan?
And… I must create user every time, or this is one-time action and i can do it in browser?

Hey @dfkkg,

You can create a user in the UI or via the API for this.

In regards to a trial, I’m afraid we don’t offer a test environment/trial—however, you might consider purchasing a monthly Pro plan and then cancelling after a month if it doesn’t suit your needs.

Thanks,
Will
