Same records as the REST ApprovalApprovers entity. REST: [ApprovalApprovers](https://developers.coevera.com/reference/rest/approval-approvers.md). ## Queries - `getById(entityId: ID!): ApprovalApproverEntity` Returns the record with the given id, or null when there is none. Deleted records are returned as well. - `getByIds(entityIds: [ID!]!): [ApprovalApproverEntity!]!` Returns the records with the given ids; ids without a record are left out. Deleted records are returned as well. - `getAll(limit: Int, offset: Int, filter: ApprovalApproverFilterInput, orderBy: [ApprovalApproverOrderByInput!], includeDeleted: Boolean): [ApprovalApproverEntity!]!` Returns the records that match the filter, paged with limit and offset. - `getByCriteria(filter: ApprovalApproverFilterInput, orderBy: [ApprovalApproverOrderByInput!], includeDeleted: Boolean, before: String, after: String, first: Int, last: Int): ApprovalApproverEntityConnection` Returns the records that match the filter as a cursor-paginated connection. - `getChangedFieldsSinceRevision(id: UUID!, revision: Int!): [UUID!]!` Returns the ids of the fields of a record that changed after the given revision. Returns an empty list for entities without change tracking. ## Mutations - `createApprovalApprover(input: CreateApprovalApproverInput!, validationLevel: [ValidationLevel!]): CreateApprovalApproverPayload` Create one record. - `updateApprovalApprover(input: UpdateApprovalApproverInput!, validationLevel: [ValidationLevel!], sessionIdToUpdate: String): UpdateApprovalApproverPayload` Update fields. - `bulkUpdateApprovalApprover(input: [CreateOrUpdateApprovalApproverInput!]!, deleteInput: [DeleteApprovalApproverInput!], validationLevel: [ValidationLevel!], rollbackMethod: RollbackMethod, match: MatchingInput): BulkUpdateApprovalApproverPayload` Create or update many; per-item results. - `deleteApprovalApprover(input: DeleteApprovalApproverInput!): DeleteApprovalApproverPayload` Soft-delete. ## Types ### ApprovalApproverEntity (object) User asked to decide an approval request, with their response and comment. - `isDeleteProtected: Boolean!` True when the record is protected against deletion because it must always exist in the space.

Types several repositories share, such as `PageInfo` and the filter fields, are in the [types index](https://developers.coevera.com/reference/graphql/types.md). The [SDL](https://developers.coevera.com/graphql/schema.graphql) has the whole schema in one file. ## Example ```graphql query FirstApprovalApprovers { entities { approvalApprover { getByCriteria(first: 3, orderBy: [{ modified: Desc }]) { totalCount edges { node { id modified } } } } } } ``` ```bash curl 'https://{region}.api.coevera.com/api/v100/app/space/{space_id}/graphql/public' \ --user "$COEVERA_API_KEY:$COEVERA_API_SECRET" \ --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \ --data '{"query":"query FirstApprovalApprovers { entities { approvalApprover { getByCriteria(first: 3, orderBy: [{ modified: Desc }]) { totalCount edges { node { id modified } } } } } }"}' ```
