Request Approval for a Change Request via API call

[Matt Cordero1]

Hello all,

I am curious to see if there is a way (out-of-the-box) to perform the actions of a "Request Approval" button (UI Action) for a Change Request record, via API call?

I am currently able to create the Change Request record, via API call.

Now, is there a way to trigger that record to "Request Approval", via API call?
