Remove Conferencing from Events with the Nylas API

If you need to remove conferencing details (such as Google Meet or Microsoft Teams links) from an existing calendar event or when creating a new one, you must explicitly clear them using the Nylas API.

Solution

Set the field "conferencing": {} in your request body when creating/updating the event.

Example request

{
  "identifier": "your-grant-id",
  "eventId": "your-event-id",
  "requestBody": {
    "title": "Updated Event Title",
    "description": "Your event description without meeting links",
    "conferencing": {},
    "location": "Physical location or custom venue"
  },
  "queryParams": {
    "calendarId": "your-calendar-id",
    "notifyParticipants": true
  }
}

Important notes

• ✅ Use "conferencing": {} (empty object)

• ❌ Do not use "conferencing": null or omit the field

• Ensure the description field does not contain old meeting links

• Works across all supported providers (Google, Microsoft, etc.)

Common use cases

• Setting from a virtual meeting to an in-person location

• Removing conferencing links entirely from an existing event
