Approve timesheet
Approve a submitted timesheet so its hours count for payroll.
POST https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/hubstaff/timesheets/{timesheet_id}/approve
write Confirm
Approves one timesheet. When the period still has pending manual time requests, Hubstaff would deny them; set confirm_pending_manual_time_request_denial only if you want that. Pending time off requests in the period need acknowledge_pending_time_off_requests. Approving before the pay period ends stops the member from tracking more time in it. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.
Parameters

| confirm_pending_manual_time_request_denial boolean | boolean | true to approve although pending manual time requests will be denied. Default: false. |
| acknowledge_pending_time_off_requests boolean | boolean | true to approve although time off requests are pending in the period. Default: false. |
