Improved
Time Clock: isSplitShiftOnManualBreak on Create Time Activities
16 days ago by ReadMe API
The Create Time Activities endpoint now documents the optional isSplitShiftOnManualBreak request field for splitting overlapping work shifts when adding manual breaks.
What's improved
isSplitShiftOnManualBreakfield — When set totrue, creating a manual break splits any overlapping completed work shift around the break window, matching Time Clock dashboard behavior. Defaults tofalse.- Integration guidance — The Time Activities guide now includes curl and JavaScript examples, plus notes on when splitting applies.
Important integration notes
- The overlapping shift must already exist when the manual break is created — use two separate POST calls (shift first, then break with
isSplitShiftOnManualBreak: true). - Creating a shift and break in the same request is unreliable because activities are processed in parallel.
- Open shifts are not split.
