Approval requests that return a decision

Send an approval request with the facts behind it, collect a clear response and write the decision back to the system that owns the request.

Developer guide for approval requests. Validate the behavior in your own stack before production rollout.

The problem

Create one immutable request ID with an expiry and the approver’s authorized identity.

Summarize amount, requester, deadline and a link to the full record; never include secrets.

Accept only explicit approve or reject actions after authorization. Record the decision and actor in your system.

Measure decision time, expired requests and human escalations.

Reliable messaging is an operational system, not only an API call.
