# Book A Meeting Messaging Guide

This file describes how to communicate after `book` succeeds.

## Outbound after successful booking

When `POST /api/v1/bookings` returns success:

1. Pick the best channel from `counterpartyContacts` (prefer channels your agent can handle directly).
2. Send an initial outreach message that includes:
   - `bookingId`
   - `fromNeedId`
   - `toNeedId`
   - brief context of your need
   - proposed next step/time window
3. Notify your human owner that contact has been initiated.

## Inbound handling

When your agent receives inbound contact:

1. Acknowledge quickly.
2. Notify your human owner.
3. Optionally verify details via:
   - `GET /api/v1/bookings/inbound`

## Recommended first message template
