Sending SMS via the API is not working.

[StibnIT]

Issue Summary

When I book an appointment through the calendar page (GUI), I receive the SMS. However, when I send a POST request via the API, it is executed correctly, and I also receive the email confirmation, but no SMS is sent.

My json: { "eventTypeId": , "userId": , "start": "", "end": "", "responses": { "name": "name", "email": "[email protected]", "Mobilnummer": "+135463546", "notes": "", "metadata": {}, "location": "Google Meet", "smsReminderNumber": "+3423467" }, "metadata": {}, "timeZone": "Europe/Berlin", "language": "de", "title": "Termin mit ....", "description": null, "status": "PENDING" }

Steps to Reproduce

1.´testet in cal.com gui sms comes 2. Build API and send post req. sms does not come

Expected behavior

The SMS should be sent after a successful API POST request.

If you have the paid version, you have the function to create a workflow to automatically send an email with the appointment confirmation, then you get this field here:

That is the "smsReminderNumber" field. And if i book it from the booking page that works, but from the api not.

@StibnIT , can you try the payload like this having smsReminderNumber outside responses object

New Booking example: value: { "eventTypeId": 2323232, "start": "2023-05-24T13:00:00.000Z", "end": "2023-05-24T13:30:00.000Z", "responses":{ "name": "Hello Hello", "email": "[email protected]", "metadata": {}, "location": "Calcom HQ", }, "timeZone": "Europe/London", "language": "en", "title": "Debugging between Syed Ali Shahbaz and Hello Hello", "description": null, "status": "PENDING", "smsReminderNumber": null }

I Have This Error: Error: 400 Bad Request {"message":"custom in 'responses': {name}error_required_field; Legacy Props: smsReminderNumber. They can't be used with responses"}

This is working now. As shown here, smsReminderNumber needs to be inside responses

This is still not working for me. supplying smsReminderNumber in the API does not send any sms to the user.

Example response for successful booking:

    const response = await fetch(url, {

        },
        method: "POST",

    if (!response.ok) {
        const error = {
            status: response.status,
            statusText: response.statusText,
            errorResponse: await response.json()
        }
        throw new Error(JSON.stringify(error, null, 2));
    }

    const data = await response.json();
    console.log(data)
}

For anyone else trying to get this to work with the bookings api, you have to add an object called bookingFieldsResponses into your API request, and within that object you pass in your smsReminderNumber. The number in that specific field must have the +1 of whatever country code the number belongs to. This is how I finally got it to work for me:

`{

"start": "2025-05-29T17:00:00Z", "attendee": { "name": "John Doe", "email": "[email protected]", "phoneNumber": "5555555555", "timeZone": "America/Chicago", "language": "en" }, "eventTypeId":33333, "metadata":{}, "bookingFieldsResponses":{ "smsReminderNumber":"+15555555555" } }`
