Approve a timesheet
Approve one pending timesheet.
POST https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/deputy/timesheets/{timesheet_id}/approve
write Confirm
Approves one pending timesheet, which then follows Deputy's payment workflow. Needs the Location Manager or System Administrator role for the pay part. A timesheet with no end time is refused; fix it in Deputy first. Cotlet has no unapprove tool, because Deputy unapproves only in its web app. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.
Parameters
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| timesheet_id integer required | integer | Timesheet ID from list_timesheets. |
