# Reject a Record

Use the Process Approvals resource to reject a record or a collection of records. Each call takes an array of requests. The current user must be an assigned approver.

## Example usage

```nolang
curl https://MyDomainName.my.salesforce.com/services/data/v68.0/process/approvals/ -H "Authorization: Bearer token" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d @reject.json"
```

## Example request body reject.json file

```nolang
{
  "requests" : [{
    "actionType" : "Reject",
    "contextId" : "04iD0000000Cw6cIAC",
    "comments" : "This record is rejected."}]
}
```

## Example JSON response body

```nolang

[ { 
  "actorIds" : null,
  "entityId" : "001D000000I8mImIAJ",
