Programmatically Approve DocuSign document

Question

Soon after my user signs a DocuSign envelope, I want to be able to quickly approve or deny it. Referring to this SO question and this forum post, I've added myself as a Signer (as well as the Sender, I suppose) and created an Approve tag for my role.

This works fine, but since the circumstances in which I want to reject/void a given document are both rare and trivial to check, I'd rather not approve them manually. I see that there's a way to void the envelope via the API, but how can I approve it via the API? Or is there some better way to accomplish this whole thing?

My current best solution is to delete myself as a Recipient of the envelope, if I want to Approve it (there is a way to do this via the API). Then, assuming my user already signed it, the envelope will mark itself as completed. But there must be a better way. – Contrition

Your workaround is the only way you'd be able to automatically "approve" a document inside of DocuSign or via the API. – Watertight

This saddens me. But you sound confident enough that I'll post it as an answer. :) – Contrition
