Create/Update multiple contacts/users via REST API for a meeting

Manoj Prabakar

I am trying to add contacts/users to a created meeting as follows

POST call to https://demo.sugarcrm.com/rest/v11/Meetings/<record_id>/link/
body

{ "link_name": "contacts",
  "ids": [{"id": "<id of contact>", "accept_status_meetings": "accepted"}, {"id": "<id of    contact>","accept_status_meetings": "declined"}]
}

NOTE: In the above example I didn't add users to link with existing meeting. I have no idea how to add both users and contacts with its "accept_status_meetings"


Updated: Only ids of the contacts gets associated to the  particular meeting without meetings status.


Unable to add with multiple contacts and users with their accept_status_meetings. Any help is much appreciated! I've spent hours trying to figure this out. Thanks in advance for any insight / direction on how to handle this.

    did you already check what happens if you add a new person to a meeting in the UI using developer tools of your browser? 

    also what does not work? Do you get an error? No response at all? If a response what sort of response?

    Jeroen Somhorst The response returns the contacts, added to the meeting without updating accept_status_meetings. the accept_status_meetings is "" for the added contacts
    I am not sure how to add users as well along with contacts in body.

    body
    { "link_name": "contacts",
      "ids": [{"id": "<id of contact>", "accept_status_meetings": "accepted"}, {"id": "<id of    contact>","accept_status_meetings": "declined"}]
    }

    There's an "invitees" collection field that's part of the Meeting record that you can use to add additional invitees/attendees to the meeting.  Collection fields are used when a relationship could have multiple modules (Users, Contacts, Leads, etc.) They behave a bit differently from standard relationships. 

    GET /Meetings/:record/collection/invitees

    A PUT/POST on that endpoint will allow you to update the list. You can check out the HTTP request behavior in the browser when you add meeting invitees on a Meeting in the Sugar UI to get some concrete examples.

    To accept or decline you normally use some "vintage" calls  like

    https://<sugarinstance>/index.php?entryPoint=acceptDecline&module=Meetings&contact_id=<contactid>&record=<meetingid>&accept_status=decline

    with values decline, accept or tentative as accept_status.

    This is helpful to support links in emails which should be able to give feedback without any authentication.

     Thank you. It works for the individual contact, Is it possible to do via Rest API call as bulk (for contacts, leads, users)
