Usage

• Omit team_id (or set to 0) to create a new team; pass an existing ID to update.
• team_name must be 1–39 characters and unique within the account.
• Pass person_ids to set team membership; this replaces the entire member list.
• Pass emails or phones to invite members who don’t yet have accounts.
• ref_id is an external identifier for integration with third-party HR systems.
• Every call is recorded in the account audit log. Don’t put secrets in request fields.
