You are passing the `recurrence` property. Delete this entire property. This should only be passed if the `meeting.type` is `3` or `8`.

```
recurrence: {
    type: null,
    repeat_interval: null,
    weekly_days: null,
    monthly_day: null,
    monthly_week: null,
    monthly_week_day: null,
    end_times: null,
    end_date_time: null
},

```
