In this guide, you'll learn how to update the meeting type of a logged meeting in HubSpot using Zapier's API Request (Beta) feature.

### Step 1: Locate the Meeting in HubSpot

1. Go to a deal or contact record in HubSpot.
2. Click the title of the logged meeting to expand its details.
3. Identify the current **Meeting Type** (e.g., “Boring Meeting”) and decide what it should be changed to (e.g., “Awesome Meeting”).

### Step 2: Set Up the API Request in Zapier

1. In your Zap, add an **Action** step with the **HubSpot** app.
2. Select **API Request (Beta)** as the action event.
3. Use the **PATCH** method.
4. For the **URL**, use:
   
    
   
   `https://api.hubapi.com/crm/v3/objects/meetings/{meetingId}`
   
   
   
   Replace `{meetingID}` with the actual ID of the meeting.
   
     - To find this ID manually, click “Actions” → “Copy Link” on the meeting in HubSpot, open the link in a new tab, and extract the ID from the URL.
5. Under Additional request headers, add:
   
    
   
   `Content-Type: application/json`
   
    
6. In the **Request Body**, use: 
   
   `{ "properties": { "hs_activity_type": "{your meeting type}" } }`

### Step 3: Test and Confirm

- Test the step in Zapier.
- Refresh the HubSpot record — the meeting type should now reflect the updated value.

### Additional Notes

- HubSpot automatically handles authorization when using the Zapier HubSpot app.
- You can dynamically pass the `meetingId` from a previous Zap step if creating and updating the meeting within the same workflow.
- Meeting types can be edited in **Settings > Tools > Meetings > Track call and meeting types**.
- Use underscores (`_`) instead of spaces in meeting type names to avoid API errors.

### Reference

All technical details were sourced from HubSpot's [CRM Meetings API](https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/reference/api/crm/engagements/meetings#patch-%2Fcrm%2Fv3%2Fobjects%2Fmeetings%2F%7Bmeetingid%7D) and [Meetings documentation](https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/guides/api/crm/engagements/meetings).
