nextOnCallRecipients field contains next on-call participants in the schedule rotation with more detailed display (including forwarding of these users). On the other hand, exactNextOnCallRecipients contains next on-call recipients (final form) like in the final schedule view. For example, it will be different from nextOnCallRecipients, if there are overrides to the rotation. Other than that, the response format is the same for both fields.

🚧

exactNextOnCallRecipients field calculated for 2 weeks ahead from given date. For example; If we had a 3 week rotation and give start of the first week as date, exactNextOnCallRecipients will return an empty array*
