WFM API 409 Conflict during Automated Shift Swap Validation

Genesys Cloud WFM

Struggling to understand why the WFM Shift Swap API returns a 409 Conflict when validating against real-time adherence.

  1. Trigger Architect flow on swap request.
  2. Call WFM Real-Time API to check agent availability.
  3. POST to /api/v2/wfm/schedule/swap with validated payload.

The endpoint rejects the swap despite the API confirming the agent is free. Is this a race condition in the write lock?

I typically get around this by adding a 200ms delay after the Real-Time API call to ensure the schedule lock releases. The 409 often stems from the system still processing the previous adherence state. Using the If-Match header with the current schedule version also helps bypass stale conflict errors during high-volume swap windows.
