Approve report
Approves a submitted report you are the approver for.
POST https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/expensify/reports/{report_id}/approve
write Confirm
Approves the report as the assigned approver, or as a Workspace Admin who may bypass the workflow. After the final approver the report becomes Approved and is ready for payment; this tool does not pay it. A report with held expenses is refused unless you pass approve_held. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.
Parameters
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| report_id string required | string | Report ID from list_reports. |
| approve_held boolean | boolean | Approve the full amount even with held expenses. Default: false. |
