Create a weather threshold

Workforce module

POST/weather-thresholdsweatherThresholds.create

A weather action threshold of a project: one value per hazard and level, with its emergency plan source. Creates a weather threshold. Requires `Idempotency-Key`; a replay returns the original response. The organization is derived from the credential or the parent row, never from the body.

  • Requires the capability safety.emergency_code.write.
  • OAuth scopes: safety.
  • Send an Idempotency-Key header. A replay with the same key returns the original response.
  • Error statuses: 400, 401, 409, 422, 429. Errors are RFC 9457 problem details.
