Approval Process Apex Patterns | Agent Skills Atlas

About this skill

Programmatically driving Salesforce Approval Processes from Apex — Approval.process(ProcessSubmitRequest) to submit, ProcessWorkitemRequest to approve / reject / reassign, recall semantics, querying ProcessInstance and ProcessInstanceWorkitem to find pending approvals, and the bulk-submit / bulk-action error-row handling. Covers when to use Apex-driven approval (system-initiated submission, batch approvals, custom UIs) vs leaving the platform's standard buttons in place. NOT for the Approval Process metadata definition itself (that's admin / declarative — see admin/approval-process-design), NOT for Flow-based approvals (use flow/flow-orchestration-patterns).

NOT for the Approval Process metadata definition itself (that's admin / declarative — see admin/approval-process-design), NOT for Flow-based approvals (use flow/flow-orchestration-patterns).
