Approve absence request
Approves a pending absence request, with an optional comment for the employee.
POST https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/bizneo/requests/{request_id}/absence-request/approve
write Confirm
Approves one pending request, as the manager or admin whose account is signed in. Bizneo sets approvers per absence type, with chains and substitute approvers, so a request your account may not decide fails with a message saying so. The employee is notified, and the request shows fully colored on the calendar. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.
Parameters
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| request_id string required | string | request_id from list_absence_requests. |
| comment string | string | Comment the employee will see. |
