## Servers

- `https://api.elevenlabs.io` (Production, default)
- `https://api.us.elevenlabs.io` (Production US)
- `https://api.eu.residency.elevenlabs.io` (Production EU)
- `https://api.in.residency.elevenlabs.io` (Production India)

## Request

### Headers

- `xi-workspace-id` (string, optional, nullable) — The customer workspace a reseller's API key acts on.

### Body (application/json)

This endpoint expects a SMBCreateServiceRequest.

- `name` (string, required)
- `pricing_mode` (enum, optional, default: fixed) — 'fixed' (default): the item has a known price the agent can quote, and customers can book or order it directly. 'quote': the price depends on the job (renovation, catering, custom work), so no price or slot is offered; the agent collects the intake_questions and files a quote request instead. Takes effect only while quotes are enabled for the business. Group services cannot use 'quote'.
  - Allowed values: `fixed`, `quote`
- `intake_questions` (list of SMBIntakeQuestion, optional) — Questions the agent asks before booking or ordering this item. Required for a useful `pricing_mode='quote'` item -- without them a quote request arrives with nothing to price -- but also valid on fixed-price items that need extra detail (current hair color before a dye job, allergies before a treatment).
- `groups` (list of SMBGroupMembership, optional) — Group memberships for this item. Each entry carries the group label and the item's 0-based rank within that group.
- `ungrouped_rank` (integer, optional, nullable) — Display position among items with no group; `null` sorts last. Change it with the reorder endpoint.
- `description` (string, optional)
- `variants` (list of SMBServiceVariant, optional) — Bookable options for this service. Always non-empty; `variants[0]` is the default option shown when callers don't pick a specific variant. Each entry has its own duration and (optional) price, and uniqueness is keyed by duration.
- `kind` (enum, optional, default: classic) — Classic = staff-delivered; rental = asset-based; group = multi-participant session.
  - Allowed values: `classic`, `rental`, `group`
- `buffer_minutes` (integer, optional, default: 0) — Turnover/cleanup time reserved after each booking. Applies to every service kind; default 0 means no buffer.
- `service_location` (enum, optional, default: business) — Where the service is delivered. `business` = client visits the business location (default); `customer` = staff travels to the client. Only meaningful for `kind='classic'`.
  - Allowed values: `business`, `customer`
- `add_ons` (list of SMBAddOn, optional) — Optional extras that can be added to a booking of this service.
- `max_participants` (integer, optional, nullable) — Capacity for `kind='group'`: how many seats a single session can sell across all registrations. Must be null for classic and rental services (those are always exclusive to one client per booking).
- `capacity` (integer, optional, nullable)
- `is_active` (boolean, optional, default: true)
- `any_staff_member` (boolean, optional, default: true)
- `staff_ids` (list of string, optional) — Staff assigned to this service; must be empty for kind='rental'.
- `asset_ids` (list of string, optional)
- `advance_booking_minutes` (integer, optional, default: 1440) — How far into the future customer-facing channels (public booking page, voice agent) may book this service. Applies to every kind.
- `location_ids` (list of string, optional) — Locations where this service is offered; empty list means all locations.
- `display_on_booking_page` (boolean, optional, default: true)
- `travel_minutes` (integer, optional, default: 0) — Travel time in minutes added before/after appointments for customer-location services. Blocks the staff member's calendar but is not visible to the customer. Ignored when `service_location='business'`.
- `travel_before` (boolean, optional, default: true) — Add travel time before the appointment (outbound trip).
- `travel_after` (boolean, optional, default: true) — Add travel time after the appointment (return trip).
- `promotions` (list of SMBServicePromotion, optional) — Time-bound discounts applicable to this service or specific variants.

## Errors

### 422 Unprocessable Entity Error

検証エラー

- `detail` (list of ValidationError, optional)

## Types

### SMBIntakeQuestion

A question the receptionist asks before booking or ordering this item.

- `label` (string, required) — The question as the agent should ask it, e.g. 'How many rooms?'. Phrased by the owner; the agent may rephrase for conversational flow but must not change what is being asked.
- `id` (string, optional) — Stable identifier referenced by stored answers. Survives label edits so history stays attributable to the right question.
- `kind` (enum, optional, default: text) — Answer shape for a per-item intake question.
  - Allowed values: `text`, `number`, `choice`
- `options` (list of string, optional) — Allowed answers for `kind='choice'`. Must be empty for the other kinds.
- `required` (boolean, optional, default: false) — Enforced on the booking page. On calls the receptionist asks, but still books if the caller won't answer.
- `is_active` (boolean, optional, default: true) — Retired questions are deactivated rather than deleted, so answers already stored against them keep resolving.

### SMBGroupMembership

Membership of an item in a single user-defined group, with its display rank inside that group.

- `label` (string, required)
- `rank` (integer, optional, default: 0) — 0-based display position within this group. Change it with the reorder endpoint; send back the value you read to keep the order, a membership sent without it goes to position 0.

### SMBServiceVariant

A variant of a service identified by its duration, with optional price override.

- `duration_minutes` (integer, required)
- `id` (string, optional)
- `price` (double, optional, nullable)
- `is_active` (boolean, optional, default: true)

### SMBAddOn

A standalone add-on that can be tacked onto a service or rental booking. An add-on is a small, free-form extra (e.g. "Hot towel", "Valet parking") that extends the parent booking's duration and total price without creating a separate calendar event.

- `name` (string, required)
- `id` (string, optional) — Stable identifier used by booking requests and calendar snapshots. Survives name/price edits, so rebooking and reporting stay consistent.
- `description` (string, optional) — Short owner-authored blurb shown to customers and voice agents when they're choosing add-ons. Empty string means no description.
- `add_duration_minutes` (integer, optional, default: 0) — Minutes added to the parent booking when this add-on is selected.
- `add_price` (double, optional, default: 0) — Amount added to the parent booking's total when this add-on is selected.

### SMBServicePromotion

A time-bound promotion on a service/variant or on add-ons.

- `name` (string, required)
- `promotional_price` (double, required) — The final price when this promotion is applied to a matching line item.
- `start_date` (string, required)
- `end_date` (string, required)
- `id` (string, optional)
- `target` (enum, optional, default: service) — Whether this promotion targets the service/variant price or add-on prices.
  - Allowed values: `service`, `add_on`
- `variant_id` (string, optional, nullable) — When set (target=service), the promotion applies only to this variant.
- `add_on_id` (string, optional, nullable) — When set (target=add_on), the promotion applies only to this add-on.
- `days_of_week` (list of integer, optional) — Days when the promotion is active (0=Monday, 6=Sunday); empty means every day.
- `is_active` (boolean, optional, default: true)

### ValidationError

- `loc` (list of ValidationErrorLocItems, required)
- `msg` (string, required)
- `type` (string, required)

### ValidationErrorLocItems

- string
- integer
