BambooHR ACTION

Deny Time Off Request

Deny a time off request. A single denial is final — it discards any remaining approval steps, so the request always ends in DENIED status. Fails with 409 if the request is not currently REQUESTED. Use List Time Off Requests to find the request ID. See the documentation

IMPLEMENTATION

Call this tool

Connect a user's BambooHR account once, then configure and run Deny Time Off Request from your backend or agent.

import { PipedreamClient } from "@pipedream/sdk"

const pd = new PipedreamClient({
  projectId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_PROJECT_ID!,
  clientId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_ID!,
  clientSecret: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_SECRET!,
  projectEnvironment: "production",
})

const result = await pd.actions.run({
  id: "bamboohr-deny-time-off-request",
  externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
  configuredProps: {
    bamboohr: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
    requestId: "Request ID",
    managerNote: "Manager Note",
  },
})

console.log(result)
