Schedules

You can set a schedule in Zendesk to acknowledge your support team's availability and give customers a better sense of when they can expect a personal response to their support requests.

You can use this API to create multiple schedules with different business hours and holidays.

To learn more about schedules, see Setting your schedule with business hours and holidays in Zendesk help.

JSON format

Schedules are represented as JSON objects with the following properties:

Name	Type	Read-only	Mandatory	Description
created_at	string	true	false	Time the schedule was created
id	integer	true	false	Automatically assigned upon creation
intervals	array	false	false	An array of starting and ending times for the schedule. See intervals. Writable only when updating intervals for a schedule
name	string	false	true	Name of the schedule
time_zone	string	false	true	Time zone of the schedule
updated_at	string	true	false	Time the schedule was last updated

Intervals

Intervals are writable only when updating intervals for a schedule. Otherwise, intervals are read-only.

Intervals are represented with the following attributes:

Name	Type	Comment
start_time	integer	Integer representation of the interval start time
end_time	integer	Integer representation of the interval end time

An interval represents an active business-hours period.

The start_time and end_time values are expressed as the number of minutes since the start of the week, where Sunday is the first day of the week starting after Saturday's last tick. For instance, Sunday at noon is 720 (12 * 60). The interval in the following example starts Monday at 9 a.m. and ends Tuesday at 5 p.m.

{
  "start_time": 1980,
  "end_time": 3900
}

The following time table lists minute times during the week to more easily determine start and end times. For example, Friday at 5 p.m. is 5 hours after noon, which can be expressed as 7920 + (5 * 60), or 8220.

Week time	Minute time
Sunday midnight	0
Sunday noon	720
Monday midnight	1440
Monday noon	2160
Tuesday midnight	2880
Tuesday noon	3600
Wednesday midnight	4320
Wednesday noon	5040
Thursday midnight	5760
Thursday noon	6480
Friday midnight	7200
Friday noon	7920
Saturday midnight	8640
Saturday noon	9360

The end of the week (Saturday at 23:59) is 10079. A value of 10080 is also accepted for midnight between Saturday and Sunday.

Holidays

Holidays are represented with the following attributes:

Name	Type	Comment
id	integer	Automatically assigned upon creation
name	string	Name of the holiday
start_date	string	ISO 8601 representation of the holiday start date
end_date	string	ISO 8601 representation of the holiday end date

Holidays can be a single day or multiple days in length.

Example

{"id": 1, "name": "New Year's Day 2016", "start_time": "2016-01-01", "end_time": "2016-01-01"}

Example

{
  "id": 1,
  "intervals": [
    {
      "end_time": 2460,
      "start_time": 1980
    },
    {
      "end_time": 3900,
      "start_time": 3420
    }
  ],
  "name": "North America",
  "time_zone": "Pacific Time (US & Canada)"
}

List Holidays for Schedule

• GET /api/v2/business_hours/schedules/{schedule_id}/holidays

The endpoint takes start_date and end_date query parameters. If you specify only a start_date, holidays beginning on or after that date are returned. If the start_date falls during a holiday, the holiday is also included. As a result the response may list some holidays that start before the start_date.

If you specify only an end_date, holidays beginning on or before that date are returned.

If you specify both a start_date and an end_date, holidays beginning between those dates are returned. If you specify neither, all holidays are returned.

Allowed For

• Admins

Parameters

Name	Type	In	Required	Description
end_date	string	Query	false	Must be in ISO 8601 date format. For example: "2021-01-01".
start_date	string	Query	false	Must be in ISO 8601 date format. For example, "2021-01-01".
schedule_id	integer	Path	true	The ID of the schedule
