How do I spin up a Whereby video meeting room?
Short answer: You can create meeting room in Whereby by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Whereby Create Meeting Room action to a workflow, map its 3 inputs from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.
Inputs
The fields this action accepts.
Every field can be mapped from an upstream trigger, AI step, table row, or hard-coded literal.

Room Name Prefix roomNamePrefix | string | Optional | Room Name Prefix. e.g. "meeting" |
Sample request
{"endDate": "{{trigger.endDate}}","isLocked": "{{trigger.isLocked}}","roomNamePrefix": "meeting"}
Returns

FAQ
Questions about Create Meeting Room.
What does the Create Meeting Room action do in Whereby?
Creates a Whereby video meeting room with end-time, room mode (normal/group), and optional fields like room name and host token. Returns the room URL you can drop into a calendar invite or share with a customer.
What inputs does Create Meeting Room require?
Required: End Date. 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 Whereby returns an error?
The run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message Whereby returned, so you can fix the input and run the workflow again. Automatic retries are built into HTTP steps only, where you can also set your own retry count and delay.
Does Create Meeting Room support batch operations?
Run Create Meeting Room inside a loop to process each item in an array. TinyCommand does not throttle calls for you, so for large arrays add a Delay step if you need to stay within Whereby's rate limits.
