TribeHR WebHooks to auto-approve vacation requests

<?php

// EXAMPLE: AUTO-APPROVE TIME OFF REQUESTS

//

// This code example illustrates how to listen for newly created requests for time off, then

// automatically approve them (this is great for organizations that have a more flexible time

// off policy). This script listens for a WebHook event, then connects to the site via the REST

// API to get the details and modify the details of the request.

//

// More on WebHooks: http://developers.tribehr.com/api/webhook-event-notification/

// More on the REST Api: http://developers.tribehr.com/api/api-introduction/

//

// PHP API Wrapper: https://github.com/TribeHR/TribeHR-PHP-Client

// Set your TribeHR credentials

define('SUBDOMAIN', ''); // Your TribeHR Sub Domain

define('USER', ''); // The username of an Administrator

define('KEY', ''); // The API KEY of the administrator above

// Include the API Wrapper

require('./TribeHR-PHP-Client/TribeHR.php');

// Let's only process the payload if we're going to actually be getting

// a LeaveRequest. Note - this logic can be easily extende to create a script that

// can handle multiple different WebHook types.

if(isset($_POST['object_id']) && isset($_POST['object']) && $_POST['object'] == 'LeaveRequest')

{

// Create my connection to the site using the API Wrapper

$TribeHRConnection = new TribeHRConnector(SUBDOMAIN, USER, KEY);

// Get the specific Leave Request, as specified by the WebHook data

$id = intval($_POST['object_id']);

$tc = $TribeHRConnection->sendRequest('/leave_requests/'.$id.'.xml', 'GET');

// Create the new request data, based on the old request. Some interesting constraints

// caused by the current API version:

// - date_start and date_end exped m/d/Y format, but the API returns Y-m-d

// - the API requires a complete data object, so all fields must be specified

// - the status APPROVED == 1

$old_request = simplexml_load_string($tc->response);

$new_request = array(

'id' => (string) $old_request->leave_request['id'],

'comments' => (string) $old_request->leave_request['comments'] . "\nAuto-Approved",

'date_start' => date('m/d/Y', strtotime($old_request->leave_request['date_start'])),

'date_end' => date('m/d/Y', strtotime($old_request->leave_request['date_end'])),

'days' => (string) $old_request->leave_request['days'],

'leave_type_id' => (string) $old_request->leave_request['leave_type_id'],

'user_id' => (string) $old_request->leave_request['user_id'],

'status' => 1,

);

// Submit the new data

$tc = $TribeHRConnection->sendRequest('/leave_requests/'.$id.'.xml', 'PUT', $new_request);

// Let's echo our the response for good measure

echo htmlentities($tc->response);

}

else

{

// Since there wasn't a valid payload, let's echo a message out

echo 'This script listens for TribeHR WebHooks to auto-approve vacation requests';
