Update Approval process using triggers

Hi Guys,

I have a requirement for approval Process.
The record is assigned to the user,  i want to approve the record without clicking on Approve/Reject.
It means the status has to be changed from Pending to Approved.
Please let me know if anyone having idea.

I am not very sure if I understand your requirement correctly. From what I can, I think the below would help:
  • Write a before update trigger on the object.
  • Compare ownerId fields to check if ownership has changed.
  • If yes, then query the designated approver user/store userid in custom setting and check if the new owner is the designated approver.
  • If yes, then change the status field as "Approved".
Let me know if this is not what you are looking for.
