**Description**  
Unable to use Meetings POST route correctly. API POST meeting results in success, and a meeting is created as you can join the meeting from the responded URL, however, the scheduled meeting does not show up on the /users/:id/meetings route, or under my accounts upcoming meetings section

My set up is Frontend (VueJs) -\> Backend NodeJS Server -\> Your REST API.

**Code**  
From PostMan.

POST: localhost:1337/users/{{MYUSERID}}/meetings

Hi @afletcher53, thanks for posting & using Zoom! In your Request Body, you’re setting the meeting as an instant meeting (type: 1), rather than a scheduled meeting (type: 2). [Here’s the reference, if needed](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/meetings/meetingcreate).

Let us know if we can help further 🙂
