Reject absence request
Rejects a pending absence request, with a comment for the employee.
POST https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/bizneo/requests/{request_id}/absence-request/reject
write Confirm
Rejects one pending request, as the manager or admin whose account is signed in. Bizneo lets a company require a reason for some absence types; without one the call fails and says so. Approver rules are the same as for approve_absence_request. The employee is notified. 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 | Reason the employee will see. Required for absence types where the company set it. |
