When a ticket has an approval activity, you can <font color="#3b9f0f">**confirm or
 reject this request using the feature for this purpose**</font>.&#x20;

In this
&#x20;sense, the ticket workflow should contain a user task (`Identification
 tab > Button "Is it an approval task? = YES"`), which is linked to the activity.
