Tools

21 tools listed at last check

deputy_whoami Return the Deputy user the token belongs to — name, employee id, company and permissions. A cheap way to confirm DEPUTY_INSTALL and the token are right. Deputy: GET /api/v1/me.
deputy_list_locations List the install's locations (workplaces). Deputy calls a location a Company; its Id is what other tools take as location_id. Deputy: GET /api/v1/resource/Company.
deputy_list_areas List areas (Deputy OperationalUnits — the rosterable sections of a location, e.g. Kitchen, Front of house). Shifts and timesheets belong to an area. Optionally only one location's areas. Deputy: GET /api/v1/resource/OperationalUnit, or POST .../OperationalUnit/QUERY when filtered.
deputy_list_employees Search employees by name, location or active status. Returns Id, DisplayName, Company (main location), Active, StartDate, Role and more. Deputy: POST /api/v1/resource/Employee/QUERY.
deputy_get_employee Fetch one employee's details as a supervisor sees them — contact, locations, role and employment. Deputy: GET /api/v1/supervise/employee/{id}.
deputy_list_shifts Search the roster (scheduled shifts) by time window, employee, area, and published/open state. Each record has StartTime/EndTime (unix), StartTimeLocalized, Employee (0 or null when open), OperationalUnit (area), Published, Open, Cost and _DPMetaData with names. Deputy: POST /api/v1/resource/Roster/
deputy_get_shift Fetch one shift (Roster record) by id. Deputy: GET /api/v1/resource/Roster/{id}.
deputy_list_timesheets Search timesheets (actual worked time) by time window, employee, area and approval state. Each record has StartTime/EndTime (unix; EndTime null while in progress), TotalTime (hours), Cost, TimeApproved, PayRuleApproved, IsInProgress, IsLeave, Roster (linked shift) and Exported. Deputy: POST /api/v1/
deputy_get_timesheet Fetch one timesheet's full details, including breaks and approval state. Deputy: GET /api/v1/supervise/timesheet/{id}/details.
deputy_list_leave Search leave requests by employee, location, status and time window. Status: 0 awaiting approval, 1 approved, 2 declined, 3 cancelled, 4 date approved without pay, 5 pay approved without date. Start/End are unix; LeaveRule is the leave type id. Deputy: POST /api/v1/resource/Leave/QUERY.
deputy_get_employee_unavailability List the times one employee has marked themselves (or been marked) unavailable to work — check before rostering them. Deputy: GET /api/v1/supervise/unavail/{employeeId}.
deputy_query_resource Run a Resource API search on any business object (leave types, pay rules, public holidays, memos, events, shift templates, pay lines, availability, sales data, …). `search` is Deputy's clause map, e.g. {"s1":{"field":"Employee","data":12,"type":"eq"}}; operators: eq ne gt lt ge le is 'is not' in 'no
deputy_describe_resource Return a Resource API object's field list, field types and joinable associations — what deputy_query_resource can filter, sort and join on. Deputy: GET /api/v1/resource/{Object}/INFO.
deputy_create_shift Add a shift to the roster, assigned to an employee or left open. Created as a DRAFT unless publish is true (publishing can notify the employee). Deputy returns an empty 200 on success — use deputy_list_shifts to find the new shift's id. Deputy: POST /api/v1/supervise/roster.
deputy_update_shift Change an existing shift's times, area, employee, break or comment. Send the full intended shift (same fields as create) — Deputy's update is the add call with the shift id. Deputy: POST /api/v1/supervise/roster with intRosterId.
deputy_publish_shifts Publish draft shifts so employees see them, choosing how they are notified: 1 SMS and email, 2 SMS, 3 email, 4 no notification, 5 confirmation required. Only the listed shift ids are published. Deputy: POST /api/v1/supervise/roster/publish.
deputy_create_leave_request Add a leave request for an employee. By default it waits for manager approval (status 0); pass status 1 only when your system is the source of truth and the leave is already approved. Deputy tracks leave in hours, so give exact start and end times. Find leave type ids with deputy_query_resource on L
deputy_add_unavailability Record a time an employee cannot work (one-off, or recurring with an RFC 5545-style rule such as FREQ WEEKLY, INTERVAL 1, BYDAY MO). Auto-scheduling then skips them. Deputy: POST /api/v1/supervise/unavail.
deputy_create_memo Post a memo to a location's news feed, optionally requiring staff to confirm they read it, or targeted to specific locations or users. Visible to staff immediately. Deputy: PUT /api/v1/supervise/memo.
deputy_update_timesheet Correct an existing timesheet's start/end time, area, meal break or supervisor comment. Times cannot be in the future. Deputy: POST /api/v1/supervise/timesheet/update.
deputy_approve_timesheet Approve one timesheet's times as a supervisor. Approved timesheets flow toward payroll export, so check it first with deputy_get_timesheet. Deputy: POST /api/v1/supervise/timesheet/approve.
