Copy the previous week
Copy every shift of the previous week into the week you name, as drafts, or only one employee's shifts.
MCP tool connecteam_write → copy_previous_week
write Confirm
Runs copy previous week of the Job Scheduler for the week that starts on week_start. Copied shifts are drafts: employees do not see them until publish_shifts runs. Pass user_id to copy one employee's shifts only. Connecteam does not say how existing shifts in the target week are treated, so read the week with list_shifts first. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.

| scheduler_id integer required | integer | Schedule ID from list_schedulers. |
