jobs.schedule
REST
ShippingPOST /api/v1/jobs/scheduleMCP tool
Livejobs.scheduleExposed on: REST API · Shop MCP server · Claude connector · Dash (in-app copilot) · Zapier. Part of the Jobs domain.
Operating contract
Moves when the job is booked. Both scheduled_start and scheduled_end are required together — a booking with only one end is not a slot anybody can plan around — and the end must be after the start.
TIMES ARE ISO 8601 WITH AN OFFSET, e.g. '2026-09-08T09:00:00-06:00'. Send the shop's local time with its offset; if you do not know the shop's timezone, ask rather than assuming yours.
IT CAN REACH THE CUSTOMER. A reschedule fires the shop's automations, and a rebooked-confirmation text is one of the commonest ones a shop turns on.
THIS DOES NOT CHECK CAPACITY. It moves the booking; it does not ask whether a bay or an installer is free. Read jobs.list for the day first if that matters.
Who may call it
- Permission
jobs.accessThe caller must hold Jobs at the ACT level. A read-only dashboard grant on the same section is refused.- Plan
- Every planNo plan gate. Available on every Service VIN plan.
- Retries
naturalNaturally idempotent — running it twice leaves the same world as running it once. A retrying integration needs no key.- Rate class
writeCounted against the write budget, which is tighter than a read.

The four gates run in this order on every surface, and the order is not arbitrary — see Authentication.
| Status | Code | When |
|---|---|---|
| 404 | not_found | The id is unknown, or the feature is not enabled for this account. Deliberately the same answer for both. |
| 403 | forbidden | This login does not hold jobs.access. |
| 403 | insufficient_scope | The credential is read-only and this capability writes. |
| 422 | validation_error | An argument was wrong. The message names the field. |
| 429 | rate_limited | Too many write calls. Back off and retry. |
| 500 | internal_error | Something failed on our side. Nothing was changed. |
