Create worker

Creating a new worker generates a temporary password which is sent to the worker’s phone by SMS along with download details for the worker iOS and Android mobile apps.

The worker will be able to set a permanent password when first logging in to the application.

delayTime is a special property providing the amount of time in seconds that a worker is delayed by, based on the maximum delayTime of all assigned tasks, or null if the worker is not delayed. This is updated every minute if the worker is on-duty, or every 10 minutes if the worker is off-duty. To find out more about delayed statuses, see the delayTime part of our Tasks section or check out this support center entry. imageUrl will also be provided if a worker image has been configured.

The required parameters will need to be correctly formatted in order for the request to go through. In cases where duplicated phone numbers are used within your organization, a duplicateKey error will be returned.

An address.routing object has the following properties:

Name	Type	Description
address.routing	string	The destination object id created using the Create destination endpoint.
	object	This object requires both `coordinate` array and `address object` from Create Destination endpoint.
