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…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Approval Process Apex Patterns

The platform provides standard approval-process buttons (Submit for
Approval, Approve, Reject, Reassign) on record pages. They work for
human-driven, single-record approvals. They don't cover:

- Programmatic submission (a scheduled batch creates 1,000 records
  and submits them all for approval).
- Programmatic action (a system event approves / rejects on behalf
  of a user — careful with this one).
- Custom UI (a custom Lightning component that bundles submit +
  status display + approve buttons).
- Querying pending items (which records are awaiting approval, by
  whom, for how long).

This skill covers the Apex API for those cases.

What this skill is NOT. Defining the Approval Process itself
(entry criteria, approval steps, approver assignment) is
declarative admin work — see `admin/approval-processes`. The
modern Flow-based equivalent (Flow Orchestration with interactive
steps assigned to approvers) is a different runtime entirely — see
`flow/flow-orchestration-patterns`.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add pranavnagrecha/awesomesalesforceskills/approval-process-apex-patterns@sha256:6308065662f07289

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
