Approve a leave request
Approve one pending request from the inbox.
POST https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/timetastic/requests/{request_id}/approve
write Confirm
Returns the request with its new status and who approved it. It works for the requests your account may approve; an approver handles their own people, and an admin can approve any employee's leave. Timetastic emails the person right away. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.
Parameters
| Name | Type | Description |
