Improved
Time Clock: isSplitShiftOnManualBreak on Create Time Activities
3 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.
