Creates new that share a common code across multiple devices.
Users with more than one door lock in a property may want to create groups of linked access codes, all of which have the same code (PIN). For example, a short-term rental host may want to provide guests the same PIN for both a front door lock and a back door lock.
If you specify a custom code, Seam assigns this custom code to each of the resulting access codes. However, in this case, Seam does not link these access codes together with a common_code_key. That is, common_code_key remains null for these access codes.
If you want to change these access codes that are not linked by a common_code_key, you cannot use /access_codes/update_multiple. However, you can update each of these access codes individually, using /access_codes/update.

device_ids Array of UUIDs (Required)
IDs of the devices for which you want to create the new access codes.
allow_external_modification Boolean
attempt_for_offline_device Boolean
behavior_when_code_cannot_be_shared String
Desired behavior if any device cannot share a code. If throw (default), no access codes will be created if any device cannot share a code. If create_random_code, a random code will be created on devices that cannot share a code.
code String
Code to be used for access.
ends_at String
is_external_modification_allowed Boolean
is_offline_access_code Boolean
is_one_time_use Boolean
max_time_rounding String
name String
Name of the new access code. Enables administrators and users to identify the access code easily, especially when there are numerous access codes. Note that the name provided on Seam is used to identify the code on Seam and is not necessarily the name that will appear in the lock provider's app or on the device. This is because lock providers may have constraints on names, such as length, uniqueness, or characters that can be used. In addition, some lock providers may break down names into components such as first_name and last_name. To provide a consistent experience, Seam identifies the code on Seam by its name but may modify the name that appears on the lock provider's app or on the device. For example, Seam may add additional characters or truncate the name to meet provider constraints. To help your users identify codes set by Seam, Seam provides the name exactly as it appears on the lock provider's app or on the device as a separate property called appearance. This is an object with a name property and, optionally, first_name and last_name properties (for providers that break down a name into components).
prefer_native_scheduling Boolean
preferred_code_length Number
Preferred code length. Only applicable if you do not specify a code. If the affected device does not support the preferred code length, Seam reverts to using the shortest supported code length.
starts_at String
use_backup_access_code_pool Boolean
use_offline_access_code Boolean
Indicates whether of the code is allowed. Default: false.
Date and time at which the validity of the new access code ends, in format. Must be a time in the future and after starts_at.
Indicates whether of the code is allowed. Default: false.
Indicates whether the access code is an .
Indicates whether the is a single-use access code.
Maximum rounding adjustment. To create a daily-bound for devices that support this feature, set this parameter to 1d.
Indicates whether should be used for time-bound codes when supported by the provider. Default: true.
Date and time at which the validity of the new access code starts, in format.
Indicates whether to use a provided by Seam. If true, you can use .
