# CRM API | Appointments
> Use the appointments API to manage appointments in the HubSpot CRM.
export const ScopesList = ({scopes = [], description = "This API requires one of the following scopes:"}) => {
if (!scopes || scopes.length === 0) {
return null;
}
const sortedScopes = scopes.sort((a, b) => a.localeCompare(b));
return
{description}
{sortedScopes.map((scope, index) =>
{scope}
)}
;
};
In HubSpot, appointments store information about scheduled appointments. The appointments endpoints allow you to create and manage appointment records in your HubSpot account, as well as sync appointment data between HubSpot and other systems.
The appointment object must be [activated in the HubSpot account](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/data-management/use-the-data-model-builder#activate-or-deactivate-an-object) to manage appointment records. Learn more about objects, records, properties, and associations APIs in the [Understanding the CRM](/guides/crm/understanding-the-crm) guide.
## Create appointments
To create new appointments:
* To create one appointment, make a `POST` request to `/crm/objects/2026-03/appointments`.
* To create multiple appointments, make a `POST` request to `/crm/objects/2026-03/appointments/batch/create`.
In your request, include your appointment data in a `properties` object. You can also add an `associations` object to associate your new appointment with existing records (e.g., contacts, companies), or activities (e.g., meetings, notes).
For batch create actions, you can enable multi-status errors which tell you which records were successfully created and which were not. Learn more about [setting up multi-status error handling](/api-reference/error-handling#multi-status-errors).
### Create appointments with property values
When creating an appointment, include appointment properties to store the appointment's details.
For example, to create a new appointment, your request may look similar to the following:
```json theme={null}
{
"properties": {
"hs_appointment_name": "Annual checkup",
"hs_appointment_start": "2026-06-01T09:00:00Z",
"hs_appointment_end": "2026-06-01T10:00:00Z",
"hs_appointment_status": "SCHEDULED"
}
}
```
For a list of default appointment properties, refer to the [appointments object definition page](/api-reference/latest/crm/objects/appointments/object-definition). To view all available appointment properties in your account, including custom properties, make a `GET` request to `/crm/properties/2026-03/appointments`. Learn more about the [properties API](/api-reference/latest/crm/properties/guide).
### Create appointments with associations
When creating a new appointment, you can also associate the appointment with [existing records](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/records/associate-records) or [activities](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/records/associate-activities-with-records) by including an `associations` array.
For example, to associate a new appointment with an existing contact, your request would look like the following:
```json theme={null}
{
"properties": {
"hs_appointment_name": "Annual checkup",
"hs_appointment_start": "2026-06-01T09:00:00Z",
"hs_appointment_end": "2026-06-01T10:00:00Z"
},
"associations": [
{
"to": {
"id": "123456"
},
"types": [
{
"associationCategory": "HUBSPOT_DEFINED",
"associationTypeId": 578
}
]
}
]
}
```
| Parameter | Description |
| --------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `to` | The record or activity you want to associate with the appointment, specified by its unique `id` value. |
| `types` | The type of the association between the appointment and the record/activity. Include the `associationCategory` and `associationTypeId`. Default association type IDs are listed on the [associations API guide](/api-reference/latest/crm/associations/associate-records/guide#association-type-id-values), or you can retrieve the value for custom association types via the [associations API](/api-reference/latest/crm/associations/associate-records/guide#retrieve-association-types). |
## Retrieve appointments
You can retrieve appointments individually or in batches. Include the following query parameters in your request URLs to retrieve certain data.
| Parameter | Description |
| ----------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `properties` | A comma-separated list of the properties to be returned in the response. If a requested property isn't defined, it won't be included in the response. If a requested property is defined but an appointment doesn't have a value, it will be returned as `null`. |
| `propertiesWithHistory` | A comma-separated list of the current and historical properties to be returned in the response. |
| `associations` | Supported when retrieving an individual appointment or all appointments, a comma-separated list of objects to retrieve associated IDs for. Learn more about the [associations API](/api-reference/latest/crm/associations/associate-records/guide). |
### Retrieve an individual appointment
To retrieve an individual appointment by its record ID, make a `GET` request to `/crm/objects/2026-03/appointments/{appointmentId}`.
### Retrieve all appointments
To request a list of all appointments, make a `GET` request to `/crm/objects/2026-03/appointments`.
You can retrieve up to 100 appointments in one request.
* To retrieve a specific amount under 100, add a value to the `limit` parameter. For example, `?limit=50`.
* To paginate through results, include the `after` parameter with the `after` value returned from the previous request.
### Retrieve a batch of appointments
To retrieve appointments in batches, make a `POST` request to `/crm/objects/2026-03/appointments/batch/read`. Include the `id` values of the appointments you want to retrieve.
**Please note:** the batch endpoint cannot retrieve associations. To view associations for a specific batch of appointments, retrieve the appointments' `id` values first, then include them in a request to the batch read associations API endpoint. Learn how to retrieve associations with the [associations API](/api-reference/latest/crm/associations/associate-records/guide).
For example, to retrieve a batch of appointments by their record ID values:
```json theme={null}
{
"properties": ["hs_appointment_name", "hs_appointment_start", "hs_appointment_end"],
"inputs": [
{
"id": "1234567"
},
{
"id": "987456"
}
]
}
```
## Update appointments
You can update appointments individually or in batches.
### Update an individual appointment
To update an individual appointment by its record ID, make a `PATCH` request to `/crm/objects/2026-03/appointments/{appointmentId}`, and include the data you want to update.
For example:
```json theme={null}
{
"properties": {
"hs_appointment_status": "COMPLETED"
}
}
```
### Update a batch of appointments
To update multiple appointments, make a `POST` request to `/crm/objects/2026-03/appointments/batch/update`. In your request body, include each appointment's record ID as the `id` and include the properties you want to update.
For example:
```json theme={null}
{
"inputs": [
{
"id": "123456789",
"properties": {
"hs_appointment_status": "COMPLETED"
}
},
{
"id": "56789123",
"properties": {
"hs_appointment_status": "CANCELLED"
}
}
]
}
```
## Upsert appointments
You can batch create and update appointments at the same time using the upsert endpoint. Following the request, if the appointments already exist, they'll be updated; if they don't exist, they'll be created.
To upsert appointments, make a `POST` request to `/crm/objects/2026-03/appointments/batch/upsert`.
## Associate existing appointments with records or activities
To associate an appointment with other CRM records or an activity, make a `PUT` request to `/crm/objects/2026-03/appointments/{appointmentId}/associations/{toObjectType}/{toObjectId}/{associationTypeId}`.
To retrieve the `associationTypeId` value, refer to the [list of default values](/api-reference/latest/crm/associations/associate-records/guide#association-type-id-values), or make a `GET` request to `/crm/associations/2026-03/{fromObjectType}/{toObjectType}/labels`.
Learn more about the [associations API](/api-reference/latest/crm/associations/associate-records/guide).
## Delete appointments
You can delete appointments individually or in batches, which will add the appointment to the recycling bin in HubSpot. You can later [restore the record within HubSpot](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/records/restore-deleted-records).
* To delete an individual appointment, make a `DELETE` request to `/crm/objects/2026-03/appointments/{appointmentId}`.
* To delete appointments in batches, make a `POST` request to `/crm/objects/2026-03/appointments/batch/archive`.
