How do I create a Daily meeting access token?

Short answer: You can create meeting token in Daily by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Daily Create Meeting Token action to a workflow, map its 4 inputs from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.

FAQ

Questions about Create Meeting Token.

What does the Create Meeting Token action do in Daily?

Generates a JWT scoping a participant's permissions inside a room (host vs participant, recording rights, expiry, eject-after). Pass the JWT as the t query param when the participant visits the room URL.

What inputs does Create Meeting Token require?

Required: Room Name. Every input accepts a static value or a variable from any upstream node in your workflow.

Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?

Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.

What happens if Daily returns an error?

The workflow pauses on the failed node, the error message is captured in the run log, and you can retry the run with one click. Auto-retry policies are configurable per workflow with exponential backoff up to 5 attempts.

Does Create Meeting Token support batch operations?

Yes. Run Create Meeting Token inside a Loop node to process arrays. TinyCommand handles Daily's rate limits automatically so you don't have to throttle manually.
