Good to know

Shift definition behavior

Tip

The shiftDefinition property is typically linked to the activity duration, unless the shift is inherited from the schedule.

In cases where the shift comes from the schedule, the shiftDefinition is not included in the response. If the shift isn’t inherited from the schedule, the shiftDefinition will be included in the response.

Examples

With an external reference

An example retrieving an activity duration by ID 123 with external references:

GET
