Confirm a booking
Confirms a pending booking, for booking types that require host confirmation. Agoo tells the attendee
it's confirmed, schedules their reminders and fires booking.confirmed. For an in_person booking it also
creates the expected visit with a QR pass, so visit.created and pass.sent fire too.
Returns invalid_state if the booking isn't pending, for example because it expired or the attendee
cancelled it.
Scope: bookings:write · Plan: Pro and Enterprise in live mode; every plan in test mode.
AuthorizationBearer <token>Send Authorization: Bearer <token> on every request. The token is one of:
| Prefix | What it is | Where it may be used |
|---|---|---|
agoo_sk_live_ | Secret key, live mode | Your servers only |
agoo_sk_test_ | Secret key, test mode | Your servers only |
agoo_pk_live_ | Publishable key, live mode | Browsers and apps: create pre-registrations and bookings, read public booking types (with their intake questions) and their free slots, read the visit types open for pre-registration with their public forms. Never lists people. |
agoo_pk_test_ | Publishable key, test mode | As above, in test mode |
Admins create keys in Console → Developers → API keys and choose each key's scopes. A key is shown once. Never put a secret key in a URL, a browser or a mobile app.

original response instead of acting twice. While the first request is still running, a retry returns
conflict. Reusing a key with a different request returns idempotency_key_reused. Responses with
rate_limited, internal_error or unavailable aren't stored, so retry those with the same key.

host confirmation, a booking starts as pending and holds its slot until the host confirms it
(confirmed), declines it (declined) or doesn't answer in time (expired). A confirmed booking can be
cancelled; the attendee can also cancel a pending request from their link.

^visit_[0-7][0-9a-hjkmnp-tv-z]{25}$custom_fields*Answers to your organisation's custom fields, keyed by field key. The keys and allowed values come from the
JSON Schema of the matching form (GET /forms). Keys that aren't in the form are rejected. Questions the
form marks as required aren't enforced through the API; they're asked when the visitor checks in or
completes their pre-registration. Answers to fields an admin marked sensitive or masked are never included
for API keys or connected apps, nor in events and webhooks: they stay inside Agoo, seen only by the roles the
admin chose.

Cancels a `confirmed` booking and its linked visit, frees the slot and fires `booking.cancelled` (and `visit.cancelled` for in-person bookings). With `notify_attendee` (the default), Agoo tells the attendee. Any other status returns `invalid_state`: to turn down a `pending` booking, decline it with `POST /bookings/{booking_id}/decline`. **Scope:** `bookings:write` · **Plan:** Pro and Enterprise in live mode; every plan in test mode.
Decline a booking POST
Declines a `pending` booking, frees its slot and fires `booking.declined`. Agoo tells the attendee their request wasn't accepted. The `reason` is kept on the booking for your organisation; the attendee sees it only if you set `share_reason_with_attendee`. Returns `invalid_state` if the booking isn't `pending`. To call off a booking that is already confirmed, cancel it with `POST /bookings/{booking_id}/cancel`. **Scope:** `bookings:write` · **Plan:** Pro and Enterprise in live mode; every plan in test mode.
