Event type with id=${inputBooking.eventTypeId} is not a recu

Error message

Event type with id=${inputBooking.eventTypeId} is not a recurring event

What it means

Thrown by transformInputCreateRecurringBooking when eventType.recurringEvent is falsy. NotFoundException (HTTP 404). A recurring booking can only be created against an event type that has a recurringEvent configuration; without one the recurring endpoint has no interval/count/freq to expand into multiple occurrences.

Solutions

1. Use POST /v2/bookings (single) instead of POST /v2/bookings/recurring for non-recurring event types.
2. Verify eventType.recurringEvent is set via GET /v2/event-types/{id} before calling the recurring endpoint.
3. Configure recurring settings on the event type in the dashboard if recurring bookings are required.
4. Branch client-side: call recurring only when the fetched event type has recurringEvent.

Example fix

// before
await api.post('/v2/bookings/recurring', { eventTypeId: 123, start, ... });

// after
const et = await api.get('/v2/event-types/123');
const url = et.data.recurringEvent ? '/v2/bookings/recurring' : '/v2/bookings';
await api.post(url, { eventTypeId: 123, start, ... });

const et = await api.get(`/v2/event-types/${eventTypeId}`);
if (!et.data.recurringEvent) throw new Error('use the single-booking endpoint for non-recurring event types');
const url = et.data.recurringEvent ? '/v2/bookings/recurring' : '/v2/bookings';

const isRecurringEventType = (et: { recurringEvent?: unknown }): boolean =>
  Boolean(et.recurringEvent);

try { await api.post('/v2/bookings/recurring', body); }
catch (e) {
  if (e.response?.status === 404 && /not a recurring event/.test(e.response.data.message)) {
    await api.post('/v2/bookings', body); // fall back to single booking
  } else throw e;
}

When it happens

Trigger: POST /v2/bookings/recurring with the eventTypeId of a plain (non-recurring) event type. The service checks eventType.recurringEvent and, finding none, throws. The caller should have used the plain POST /v2/bookings endpoint instead.

Common situations: Wrong endpoint used (recurring vs single); event type's recurring config was removed after the client cached its id; client defaulting to the recurring endpoint for all bookings; recurringEvent field null because the event type was cloned without recurring settings.
