Workfront Fusion

daBellows · 1/7/26

I'm needing to use Fusion to auto-approve Requests after X number of days.

Based on AI searches, it appears that I need to do the following:
https://<your_workfront_instance_url>/attask/api/v12.0/approval/<approvalID>

PUT

Body
{"decision": "APPROVE"}

I'm having difficulty finding what object contains the approvalID, to use the above-mentioned call.

Has anybody done this that can point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

Hi @daBellows . Depending on the object type of the Request (e.g. Issue/OPTASK), you'll find the `approvalID` on that record:

{
  "data": {
    "ID": "63ab...",
    "awaitingApprovals": [
      {
        "ID": "63de...",
        "status": "PEND",
        "objCode": "APR",
        "assignedToID": "58e..."
      }
    ]
  }
}

And to safely approve, you can use the Workfront "Misc Action" module's "approveApproval" action with the approvalID value
