# Import a meeting

`POST https://api.markdrop.in/api/v1/meetings/import`

Turns transcripts and/or Google Meet's Gemini notes into meeting pages in the workspace's Meetings folder (made on the first import). Each source is `{name, text}`, `{name, data_b64}` (a file, base64) or `{google_file_id}` (a Google Doc picked in the Google Picker; needs Google Docs connected). `title`, `date` (YYYY-MM-DD) and `type` apply when the sources make one meeting; `restricted: true` limits it to attendees who are members. The AI summary is written in the background (`ai.state` is `pending`, then `done`); `wait: true` waits for it. Members and up. Returns `{meetings}`.

- **Authentication:** API token required: `Authorization: Bearer mdk_…`.
- **Rate limit:** 20 per minute per IP address.
- **MCP tool:** `import_meeting` ([tools](https://docs.markdrop.in/ai/tools))
- **Guide:** [Meetings](https://docs.markdrop.in/workspaces/meetings)
