Update teams approval status using HTTP request

Posted on by Madhura Gawandi

We have a cleanup task to update teams approval if approval is taken care by some other means (from other systems / other approval). We are using cancelApproval API and it seems to be working great (updating status to cancel, also reflects it on teams app and not just in backend dataverse table) except that we would like to change the approval status as 'Skipped' instead of cancel. Is there any other API we could use.

GET or PATCH doesnt seem to work.

DELETE https://approvals.teams.microsoft.com/api/cancelApproval/ - works

GET https://approvals.teams.microsoft.com/api/ - do not work

PATCH https://approvals.teams.microsoft.com/api/ - do not work

Hi @MG-04081551-0

There isn’t a public API to flip a Teams approval to "Skipped". In the public (supported) Approvals app APIs, an approval item’s state can only be created, pending, completed, or canceled.

I am not able to find the correct method.

Get approvalItem - Microsoft Graph beta | Microsoft Learn - doesn't fail but response doesn't return anything about the the approval item

Create approvalItemResponse - Microsoft Graph beta | Microsoft Learn - fails with MethodNotAllowed
