Hi everyone,

I'm working with Creatio CRM and need to trigger an approval process via API. I have a custom object called EpbSolicitudes, and each request has a unique ID (e.g., 1e80cd00-2cf4-4ecc-a61c-511d7afa3568).
 

My goal is to invoke the approval action programmatically using an API call. Specifically, I want to:

1. Approve a request via API (either updating the status or calling a process).
2. Ensure that the approval follows the same workflow as if it were done manually.
3. Optionally, trigger a BPMN process if needed.
    

I've explored the OData 4 API and DataService API, but I'm unsure of the best approach to handle approvals.

• Should I update the "NextStep" field in EpbSolicitudes using OData?
• Is there a built-in API method to invoke the approval process?
• Can I start an approval process via ProcessEngineService API?

If anyone has experience with automating approvals in Creatio via API, I would appreciate any guidance or examples.
 

Thanks in advance! 🚀
