I tried to use “POST /company/time-offs” with “skip_approval=false” and also “skip_approval=0”.
However I found that approvals for newly inserted events (which require approval) was still skipped!
This wasn’t the case when completely omitting the “skip_approval” field in the POST body.
This behavior seems to contradict the documentation, see below:
Could you please clarify or verify my observation?
Thank you!

Hi
I have just tested the API myself. In my tests I found that the behavior is exactly as documented. So: if I don’t use skip_approval at al, the approval process is automatically skipped, as this is the behavior that is wanted by default and mentioned in the description of skip_approval.
If I used skip_approval=false, the absence was set as pending and the approval process behind it was triggered.
Accordingly, I can't confirm the behavior you described.
However, I would like to take a closer look at this in your account, which is why I would ask you to open a support ticket via Find Answers. We’ll be able to log in into your account and check the settings together with you.

Please let me know if there is anything else I can support you with.

Thank you very much for verifying this for me.
I can’t rule out the test failed due to other users being too diligent and possibly approving the request very fast.
I will revisit this and perform further testing, soon.
