# appointments_create

> Create a new appointment, showing, meeting, or follow-up.

<!-- Source: https://docs.actuallycare.com/tools/appointments/appointments_create -->

Create a new appointment, showing, meeting, or follow-up. Use whenever the user wants something on their calendar. Call immediately with whatever data the user provides. Do NOT ask for missing fields — the system shows an editable draft card where the user can fill in remaining details. Returns the created appointment record.

## Safety

**Creates data.** Creates a new record in your CRM and may trigger notifications or webhooks. Running it twice creates a duplicate, so Claude runs it once per request.
