| `id`                                 | `string`                                    | Yes      | —          | The ID of the scheduled shift to publish.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    |

If the provided version doesn't match the server version, the request fails. If omitted, Square executes a blind write, potentially overwriting data from another publish request. |
| `scheduledShiftNotificationAudience` | `Square.ScheduledShiftNotificationAudience` | No       | `AFFECTED` | Indicates whether Square should send an email notification to team members and which team members should receive the notification. The default value is `AFFECTED`. See [ScheduledShiftNotificationAudience](#type-scheduledshiftnotificationaudience) for possible values                                                                                                   |

Use the official [PublishScheduledShift reference](https://developer.squareup.com/reference/square/labor-api/publish-scheduled-shift) for provider field semantics and limits.

## Output

Returns the official `Square.PublishScheduledShiftResponse` response as a codec-safe object. Square integer money amounts remain `bigint` values.
