Name the Approval you mean, and your agent reads it back before it records your no and your reason. The Action it holds ends refused, the agent that asked reads why, and to say yes instead you answer an approval.

What you get

1the Approval you named, read back to you before anything is answeredApproval
1refusal recorded with your reason, so the agent reads whyApproval
1held Action ended `refused`: nothing it would have done runsAction

Your agent does

Approval.get then Approval.refuse

You, to your agent

Refuse that request and tell the agent why.

No to the $740 ad spend.
