Request headers

Header	Value
Authorization	Bearer {token}. Required. Learn more about authentication and authorization.
Content-Type	application/json. Required.
MS-APP-ACTS-AS	A user ID (GUID). Required only if the authorization token is an application token; otherwise, optional.

Request body

In the request body, supply a JSON representation of the modified shift object.

The following table lists the properties that you can use when you create a shift object.

Property	Type	Description
draftShift	shiftItem	Draft changes in the shift. Draft changes are only visible to managers. The changes are visible to employees when they're shared, which copies the changes from the draftShift to the sharedShift property. Eiher draShift or sharedShift should be null.
isStagedForDeletion	Boolean	The shift is marked for deletion, a process that is finalized when the schedule is shared. Optional.
schedulingGroupId	String	ID of the scheduling group the shift is part of. Required.
sharedShift	shiftItem	The shared version of this shift that is viewable by both employees and managers. Updates to the sharedShift property send notifications to users in the Teams client. Eiher draShift or sharedShift should be null.
userId	String	ID of the user assigned to the shift. Required.

Response

If successful, this method returns a 201 Created response code and a shift object in the response body.
