  Nowsta is a Brooklyn, New York workforce management platform for hourly, gig and contingent labor,
  used by more than 25,000 teams across hospitality and food service, events and venues, healthcare,
  logistics and distribution, education and retail. The platform covers the full shift lifecycle -
  talent sourcing and onboarding with a built-in ATS, AI-assisted shift scheduling with demand
  forecasting and templates, GPS/geofenced time and attendance with automated alerts and timesheet
  approval, labor-cost and compliance reporting, and payroll/accounting handoff - alongside a vendor
  management module for coordinating staffing agencies. Workers use a dedicated iOS/Android app and the
  my.nowsta.com portal to claim shifts, set availability and clock in; coordinators work in
  app.nowsta.com. For partners, Nowsta publishes an allow-listed Integration API that lets an upstream
  system (event management, CRM, catering or venue software) publish events, shifts, positions, venues,
  clients, uniforms and workers into Nowsta in bulk.

    Allow-listed partner API for publishing workforce data into Nowsta. Six bulk "publications"
    endpoints - events (with nested shifts), venues, clients, uniforms, positions and workers - each
    accepting up to 32 objects per request and performing create-or-update keyed on the caller's own
    external id. Authentication is a per-company bearer token that the customer retrieves from the
    Nowsta UI; Nowsta must approve a company before its token is active. Every successful publication
    returns 202 Accepted with a queued-job id, because Nowsta will not apply changes that would
    unassign already-scheduled staff without coordinator confirmation. There are no read, PATCH or
    DELETE operations in the public surface, and no documented webhook or event stream.
