Meetings
A meeting is a confirmed, scheduled face-to-face interaction between a human representative and a lead. Meetings are the core unit of value in HumanConnection — they represent the moment where a data point becomes a relationship.
Overview
After your AI agent finds an event and a human representative, the next step is sending a calendar invite to both participants with send_meeting_invite — the invite is the booking. Meetings take place at events or places. After the meeting, a report is submitted and the human is rewarded.
The Meeting type
Tools
send_meeting_invite
Send a Google Calendar invite to all meeting participants via email. Uses gcalcli under the hood.
Status lifecycle
- scheduled: Meeting is confirmed and upcoming.
- completed: The meeting happened.
- cancelled: The meeting was cancelled before it took place.
- no_show: The lead or human did not show up.
Example usage
After the meeting: report and reward
Once a meeting is completed, two more tools close the loop:
send_meeting_report
Submits the post-meeting report with transcript, outcome, and next steps.
send_meeting_payment
Pays the human based on the meeting outcome.
Reward types
How meetings relate to other resources
- Events: Meetings are linked to an event via
event_id. Event-based meetings have the highest show rates. - Places: When no event is available, places provide the venue via the
locationfield. - Humans: The human representative is found via search_humans.
- Interests: Use search_interests to find personal signals that help pick the right event or venue.
Best practices
- Provide notes. Give the human context about where and how to find the lead. “Sarah will be at the SaaStr booth area from 1-3 PM” is far more useful than no notes.
- Send the invite immediately. Use
send_meeting_inviteas soon as the meeting is confirmed so both parties get the calendar event. No invite = forgotten meeting. - Keep meetings short. 15-30 minute meetings have the highest completion rates. A 20-minute coffee is easier to say yes to than a 90-minute lunch.
- Think about the relationship, not just the deal. The best meetings aren’t just about closing — they’re about starting a relationship that compounds into renewals, referrals, and lifetime value.
