List People to Mention

Lists the people you can @mention in a comment or an approval note: the workspace team and reviewers, sorted by name.

GET
/v1/approvals/people
curl -X GET "https://api.orshot.com/v1/approvals/people" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <ORSHOT_API_KEY>"

Lists the people you can @mention in a comment or an approval note: the workspace team and reviewers, sorted by name. Write a mention as @[Name](user:<id>) with an id from this list. Reviewers limited to some approval flows get the team plus the reviewers who share one of their flows, and never see emails. Someone who can't see the template keeps the mention in the text but is not notified.

Headers#

HeaderRequiredDescription
AuthorizationYesBearer <API key or OAuth token>
x-workspace-idNoOAuth tokens with several workspaces: the workspace to act in. API keys ignore it.
X-Orshot-User-IdNoAPI keys only: the user id of the owner, admin or member this call is for. See Acting for a Team Member below.
X-Session-IdNoGroups the calls of one agent or MCP session in the activity history.

Acting for a Team Member#

With an API key, you can send X-Orshot-User-Id with the user id of an owner, admin or member of the workspace to make this call for them. The answer then follows both the key's access level and that person's own access. See acting for a team member.

Error Responses#

Every error has the same body: error, code, message and helpUrl, plus the fields that apply (required, role, context, blockers, violations, issues, current). Branch on error; code is more specific. See the error reference.

Status CodeErrorDescription
401oauth_token_invalidThe OAuth token is invalid, expired or revoked.
403api_key_missingNo Authorization: Bearer header.
403permission_deniedYou don't have access to do this. Ask an owner or admin. code names the capability, for example approval.item.decide_denied; required and role say what was missing. With code: insufficient_scope: the OAuth token lacks workspace:approvals:read. With code: approval.member_header_not_member: X-Orshot-User-Id names someone who isn't an owner, admin or member of the workspace now. With code: approval.member_header_not_allowed: an OAuth token sent X-Orshot-User-Id.
403plan_requiredThe workspace's plan doesn't include Approvals, or doesn't include this part of it.
403enterprise_api_requiredUsing approvals with an API key needs an Enterprise plan. Contact hi@orshot.com to turn it on.

422validation_failedSome fields aren't valid: the fields listed in issues. issues lists each field with a path and a reason.
422validation_failedWith code: approval.member_header_invalid: X-Orshot-User-Id isn't a user id.
