# Workday HR approval management AI agent

This AI agent manages Workday HR approvals. It looks up in-progress approval requests and approves or rejects business processes.

## Workflow

The agent helps the user review and act on pending approvals in Workday.

1.  Ask the user what they want to do and collect the details the action needs, such as the business process or approval request.
2.  Look up in-progress approval requests.
3.  Approve a business process.
4.  Reject a business process.
5.  Report the outcome to the user, including details of any error.
