Create ^DEPRECATED

Description #

Creates a Scheduler Request using a Cronofy Account.

Authentication is with a client_secret of an Internal Application linked to the Organizational Unit.

Also supports the sub of an Account connected to the Organizational Unit in the Cronofy-Impersonate header.

The host for the resulting meeting is decided in one of two ways.

1. Specify host in the payload.

{
  "host": {
    "sub": "acc_5ba21743f408617d1269ea1e"
  },
  ...
}

This creates a request using the hosts default personal scheduling preferences.

2. Use the Cronofy-Impersonate header.

Instead of specifying the host in the payload you can authenticate as specific Account and that will be used as the host of the resulting meeting.
