I want to create a booking using the nodejs scheduler api but it doesn’t return the booking ref used for the reschedule and cancelation react components. How do I get the booking ref? Thank you.

Hey @jonathan - A booking reference is only available after a user complete a scheduler booking for an appointment. Have a look at [Retrieving booking IDs](https://developer.nylas.com/docs/v3/scheduler/retrieve-booking-ids/).

Let me know if you have additional questions. If you are still having issues, do share a code sample.
