Nothing already posted is deleted, and the channel keeps whatever its topic last said. Not an error when the rotation does not have the channel: you asked for a state, and that is the state you get.

Responses
Section titled “Responses”OK
A rotation: the grid of duties it runs, who is in it, and who holds each place right now.
object
The short code the rotation answers to in Slack.
Whether every member of the workspace can see the rotation.
manual, auto or external.
How many lanes are running, which is how many people hold the shift at once.
How many places on this rotation have somebody on call right now.
How many places on this rotation have nobody on them at all.
Whether this rotation has more than one place to be on duty at once.
Whether one person may hold two places at once when the list behind them is too short to fill both.
Whether days the cadence skips — weekends, national holidays — count as time the rotation is not covered. One switch for the whole rotation, read into every window’s own reading.
The channels this rotation posts in: the same facts as channelSettings, flattened to the ids that receive duty messages.
Every channel this rotation uses, each saying what Round Robin does in it. Write one with PUT /v1/rotations/{rotationId}/channels/{channelId}.
One Slack channel a rotation uses, and what Round Robin does in it.
object
The Slack channel id, for example C0123456789.
Whether hand-overs, reminders and mentions of this rotation are posted in this channel.
Whether this channel’s topic is rewritten with whoever is on duty when duty changes hands. Reported as false on every channel when enableTopic is off, whatever the channel itself holds, so a reader never has to combine two fields to know whether a topic is written.
Whether the rotation keeps channel topics pointed at whoever is on duty. The switch for the whole rotation: with it off, no channel’s topic is written whatever its own syncsTopic says.
The template the topic is written from, or null to use Round Robin’s own wording. Shares its placeholders with the message templates, which are not part of this version.
Everybody in the rotation: the union across every list it draws on.
object
Members added individually.
One member of a rotation.
object
Where the member sits in the order the lists are built from.
Members that came in through a Slack user group, listed under the group they came from. Add or remove somebody in Slack’s group and the rotation follows.
A Slack user group in the rotation, and the people currently in it.
object
One member of a rotation.
object
Where the member sits in the order the lists are built from.
The rows of the grid: the kinds of duty this rotation runs.
A row of the grid: a kind of duty, such as primary or backend.
object
What the customer calls this lane, and absent until they name it.
The columns of the grid: covered hours, a time zone, and a handover cadence.
A column of the grid: when the rotation is covered, and how often duty changes hands there.
object
The one zone this window’s covered hours are expressed in, as its own identifier (Europe/Rome). Never rewritten to the tzdb canonical name a linked city shares. Empty on a manual rotation, which has no cadence and so no zone to express one in.
The repeating week this window is open for, as stored. Empty means the whole week.
One stretch of the coverage week, which may run past midnight into the next day.
object
A weekday name, monday through sunday.
A time of day, HH:mm.
Whether the window restricts nothing: open the whole week, every week.
How often duty changes hands in this column.
object
One of dayOfWeek, daysOfWeekList, dayOfMonth, nthWeekdayOfMonth, daily, workday, manual or external. Fields that mean nothing for the type are absent rather than defaulted, so test for presence rather than for a zero.
The time zone the cadence was configured with, as its own identifier (Europe/Rome). Never rewritten to the tzdb canonical name a linked city shares.
When the cadence starts, in its own time zone.
How many units of the cadence’s own kind sit between two hand-overs.
The countries whose weekends and holidays the skips are read from.
The next hand-overs this window has already scheduled. For anything further out, ask for a window from GET /v1/rotations/{rotationId}/schedule.
Set for dayOfWeek and nthWeekdayOfMonth.
Set for daysOfWeekList.
Set for dayOfMonth.
Set for nthWeekdayOfMonth: which occurrences in the month, 1 through 5.
Set for daily: the times of day it hands over at.
Set for external: which partner drives the rotation. One of pagerDuty, jsm for Jira Service Management, or none when the rotation is external but no partner is linked yet.
Whether the window is open at the moment of the response.
Every lane crossed with every window, and whoever holds each one.
A lane crossed with a window: one place somebody can be on duty.
object
Which list this place is dealt from, matching an entry in the rotation’s rosters.
Whether this place is defined but not running, because the workspace is not on a paid plan.
Whoever holds this place, or nothing.
object
The Slack user holding the place, or null when a partner named somebody Slack cannot.
Their position in the list this place is dealt from, and absent for a person a partner named, who was never dealt from a list at all.
Whether they are waiting for the window to open rather than on duty right now.
Members the list would otherwise have named, who were passed over because they were absent. A skip, decided once before the shift starts, rather than a hand-over of part of one.
A member skipped because of an absence at assignment time.
object
Slack user ID of the skipped member.
