• Add smart value as:

  • {
    "fields": {
    "EA4J Auto Approver Custom Field": {
    "approveReject": true,
    "user": "{{ACCOUNTID}}",
    "rule": "ed6b9d2a-d529-4b20-a90c-9f085640b1e8"
    }
                 }
    }

  • Here, "approveReject": true means approve; "approveReject": false means reject.
