Deny a time off request
Deny one pending time off request, with a message to the person.
POST https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/charliehr/requests/{request_id}/time-off-request/deny
write Confirm
Does what Deny does in the approval panel. Same roles as approve_time_off_request. The message goes to the team member, so say why. A denied request frees the days again. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.
Parameters
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| request_id string required | string | Id from list_time_off_requests |
| note string | string | Message to the team member |
