We are using Identity IQ 8.3

We are looking for a way to capture any new approval requests and pass this along to workato. Using the rest API we would like to use workato to a) notify the approver that an approval is requested along with the details of the request and b) allow the requester to send back if a request is approved or denied

We would like to use the rest API for this if possible. Looking at the API documentation we cannot see any examples on how we could accomplish this.

Thanks

@esveda you can use workflowlaunch api , write workflow do your validation and other thing which you want to achieve. OOTB there is no way , you can write custom rest api or you use workflow launch api.
