Decline holiday request
Declines a holiday request that is assigned to you.
POST https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/peoplehr/requests/{request_id}/holiday-request/decline
write Confirm
Declines the request as the account that is signed in, which must be its approver. PeopleHR then tells the employee in Feed, so give a reason in the comment. A decided request cannot be changed: it has to be deleted and submitted again. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.
Parameters
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| request_id string required | string | Request ID from list_holiday_requests. |
| comment string | string | Reason the employee sees with the decision. |
