Shift Assignments

Assign a User to a Shift

Assign a User to an existing Shift in your Papershift Account

URL

https://app.papershift.com/public_api/v1/assignments

Method

POST

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required
api_token	String	required
shift_id	String	required
user_id	Integer	required
user_external_id	String	required if user_id is not set
application	Boolean	optional

Information

Assigning a User to an existing Shift requires finding the specific
record in the Database. This can be achieved via the Shift’s Record-ID.
You also have to specify the User’s External- or Record-ID.
By setting application to true the User is not directly assigned
to the Shift but rather is marked as someone who has applied for
this Shift. Already assigned Users get re-assigned/re-applied.
