timeCard: clockIn

2025-05-28

Namespace: microsoft.graph

Important

APIs under the /beta version in Microsoft Graph are subject to change. Use of these APIs in production applications is not supported. To determine whether an API is available in v1.0, use the Version selector.

Clock in to start a timeCard.

This API is available in the following national cloud deployments.

Global service	US Government L4	US Government L5 (DOD)	China operated by 21Vianet
✅	❌	❌	❌

Permissions

Choose the permission or permissions marked as least privileged for this API. Use a higher privileged permission or permissions only if your app requires it. For details about delegated and application permissions, see Permission types. To learn more about these permissions, see the permissions reference.

Permission type	Least privileged permissions	Higher privileged permissions
Delegated (work or school account)	Schedule.ReadWrite.All	Not available.
Delegated (personal Microsoft account)	Not supported.	Not supported.
Application	Schedule.ReadWrite.All	Not available.

HTTP request

POST /teams/{teamId}/schedule/timeCards/clockIn

Request headers

Header	Value
Authorization	Bearer {token}. Required. Learn more about authentication and authorization.
Content-type	application/json. Required.
MS-APP-ACTS-AS (deprecated)	A user ID (GUID). Required only if the authorization token is an application token; otherwise, optional. The `MS-APP-ACTS-AS` header is deprecated and no longer required with application tokens.

Request body

In the request body, provide a JSON object with the following parameters.

Parameter	Type	Description
isAtApprovedLocation	Boolean	Indicates whether this action happens at an approved ___location.
notes	itemBody	Notes for the clock in.
atApprovedLocation (deprecated)	Boolean	Indicates whether this action happens at an approved ___location. This property will be removed by November 27, 2027. Use `isAtApprovedLocation` instead. `atApprovedLocation` and `isAtApprovedLocation` always have the same value, so setting one automatically sets the value for the other. If both are included in the request with different values, the value for `isAtApprovedLocation` takes precedence.
onBehalfOfUserId	string	The ID of the user you are clocking in on behalf of.

Response

If successful, this method returns a 201 Created response code and a timeCard object in the response body.

Important

Microsoft Graph SDKs use the v1.0 version of the API by default, and do not support all the types, properties, and APIs available in the beta version. For details about accessing the beta API with the SDK, see Use the Microsoft Graph SDKs with the beta API.

For details about how to add the SDK to your project and create an authProvider instance, see the SDK documentation.
