Usage

  • Omit team_id (or set to 0) to create a new team; pass an existing ID to update.
  • team_name must be 1–39 characters and unique within the account.
  • Pass person_ids to set team membership; this replaces the entire member list.
  • Pass emails or phones to invite members who don’t yet have accounts.
  • ref_id is an external identifier for integration with third-party HR systems.
  • Every call is recorded in the account audit log. Don’t put secrets in request fields.
