API Reference

People

People are workspace members — employees, contractors, and other payroll or expense-reporting contacts. Partner responses expose UUIDs as `id` and omit internal numeric foreign keys.

Last updated 2026-06-21

The People API lets your integration list and retrieve people records in a workspace. People include employees, contractors, and other contacts used for payroll, time tracking, and expense reporting.

Partner routes are read-only: you can list people and retrieve a single person by UUID. Create, update, and delete are not available under `/partners/people`. Every person is identified by a UUID returned as `id` in responses.

Key concepts

Read-only partner access

Partner integrations can list and retrieve people but cannot create, update, or delete them through the Partner API. Manage people through the COUNT product or internal APIs.

Identification

Reference a person by the UUID returned as `id`. Internal numeric ids and workspace foreign keys are stripped from partner JSON.

Primary job fields

List and retrieve responses may include `paymentUnit` and `rate` derived from the person's primary job when one exists.

The person object

Core fields returned on people records. Nested associations (jobs, address, department) may be embedded when present.

}

Used by time entries and expense receipts

Time entry create payloads require `peopleUuid` from this API. Expense receipt flows may also reference people indirectly through account assignments.

Filtering

Use `search` for partial matches on first name, last name, email, and phone. Filter by `type`, `enabled`, `roles`, and other query params documented on List people.
