Steps
Obtain your company's Nowsta auth token and include it as an Authorization Bearer header on requests to the Nowsta API host
Build a publications array of event objects, each with a unique id, name, starts_at/ends_at, time_zone, and a nested shifts array of shift objects (id, starts_at, ends_at, quantity, position_id)
POST the array to /integrations/v1/events/publications, keeping each batch to 32 items or fewer
Check for a 202 Accepted response containing a job ID, and handle 422 responses by mapping each indexed error back to the offending event/shift
Send event/shift publication requests serially per company rather than in parallel, since Nowsta queues and processes them in received order
Known gotchas
A 202 response only means the request was queued, not that it fully applied - Nowsta will not remove shifts or shift slots that would unassign already-scheduled staff without confirmation from a Nowsta coordinator
venue_id, uniform_id, and client_id must already have a registered mapping in Nowsta before they can be referenced in an event publication, or the request fails
Batches are capped at 32 items per request; exceeding that returns a 422
