Approve holiday request
Approves a holiday request that is assigned to you.
POST https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/peoplehr/requests/{request_id}/holiday-request/approve
write Confirm
Approves the request as the account that is signed in, which must be its approver. PeopleHR then tells the employee in Feed. A decided request cannot be changed: it has to be deleted and submitted again. A request that is already decided fails with an error. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.
Parameters
| Name | Type | Description |
