Execute an approved request

POST 
/approval/:id/execute

Starts the action behind an approved request (a deployment, a scope, a set of changes). Use it when the request is approved but the action waits for someone to start it. That is the case with the explicit execution_trigger of a checklist specification, and with a reviewer's approval when the trigger is automatic_approval.

Executing a request that already ran (execution_status is success), or that is being executed right now, does nothing: the call answers 200 with the request as it is, and the action isn't sent twice. A request whose execution failed can be executed again.

info

The response carries the request after the attempt. Check its execution_status: success when the action started, failed when it didn't.

The request was executed, or it had already been. Read execution_status for the result.
