Is it possible to “Praise” a user from a WorkFlow generated Yammer message?

Question

There are two content types associated with the list I'm working on: {Target, Complete}. I have a workflow that converts a list item from a Target to a Complete.

It was requested that this results in a Yammer post that also "Praises" the target user, but I cannot find a way to do this.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm looking for any possible way to accomplish this.

You can do it by calling https://www.yammer.com/api/v1/messages.json REST endpoint. Nintex Workflow and SharePoint Designer workflows both have activities to make REST calls.

Endpoint documentation is here. It also includes interactive "try it" feature.

Also, this thread at O365 forums has a sample of valid JSON, but I did not test it.
