When Scheduling Meets Approval Power

Let's get real - most teams suck at two things: scheduling meetings without the back-and-forth circus, and getting decisions made faster than continental drift. That's why pairing SimplyMeet.me's scheduling muscle with ApproveThis' approval engine isn't just smart - it's borderline unfair to your competitors.

SimplyMeet.me handles the logistics of getting people in (virtual) rooms. ApproveThis handles the politics of getting decisions out of those rooms. Together? They turn what used to be multi-day email chains into automated workflows that actually work while you sleep.

What This Duo Does That Your Current Stack Doesn't

Most scheduling tools stop at "Book the meeting." Most approval systems start at "Fill out this form." The gap between booking and deciding? That's where money leaks out, deadlines get missed, and clients wonder why they're paying you retainers.

Here's the fix:

  • Auto-Trigger Approvals: New meeting booked? Reschedule requested? Cancelation? Each becomes an approval workflow tailored to your rules.
  • Approvals That Understand Context: Calculated fields in ApproveThis can auto-approve $500 venue bookings but escalate $50k contract discussions.

The kicker? Approvers don't need SimplyMeet.me logins. Huge for agencies managing client calendars or enterprises where legal/compliance teams shouldn't be knee-deep in scheduling tools.

Real-World Workflows That Don't Feel Like Work

1. New Meeting = Instant Scrutiny (The Good Kind)

Marketing teams booking influencer collabs: When a new $25k/month YouTube partnership gets scheduled in SimplyMeet.me, ApproveThis auto-triggers:

→ Legal checks NDAs
→ Finance verifies budget
→ CMO gives final nod

All before the first Zoom chime. Without this? Three weeks of Slack pings and someone inevitably approving a typo'd contract amount.

2. Reschedules That Don't Derail Projects

Product teams know this pain: Critical roadmap review gets moved. ApproveThis + SimplyMeet.me handles it like:

1. Reschedule detected
2. Auto-checks if new date conflicts with sprint deadlines
3. Routes to PM lead + external dev agency rep (no account needed)
4. Either approves new time or triggers escalation

Bonus: Vacation delegation means OOO approvers don't bottleneck the process.

3. Cancellations That Actually Improve Cash Flow

For services firms: Client cancels a recurring strategy session in SimplyMeet.me. Instead of eating the revenue loss:

- Approval workflow pings account manager
- Auto-calculates contract cancellation fee
- Routes to client success for save attempt
- Final finance approval to process refund (or not)

All while keeping the client in the loop via ApproveThis' email-based approvals.

Setup That Takes Less Time Than Your Daily Standup

Via Zapier, because nobody needs another "custom integration project":

  1. Pick your trigger (New Event, Reschedule, Cancelation)
  2. Map critical SimplyMeet.me data to ApproveThis fields
    Pro Tip: Use calculated fields to auto-flag high-value meetings
  3. Set approval rules (Who needs to decide? What auto-approves?)
  4. Test with a $0 test meeting

Most teams get this live in under 20 minutes. The complex part is deciding your approval thresholds - we've got templates for that.

Why This Isn't Just Another Integration

Most app pairings just shuffle data. This combo actually reduces meeting volume. How?

For Sales Teams:
New prospect booking → Auto-check against territory rules → Route to sales director if deal size exceeds rep's threshold. No more Monday pipeline fights.

For HR/People Ops:
Executive assistant books leadership offsite → Auto-approve if under budget → Escalate to CFO + legal if international. Without 37 approval emails.

For Agencies:
Client reschedules monthly review → Check contract terms → Auto-approve first change → Bill for subsequent changes. While the client approves fees via email.

The Nuts and Bolts You Care About

Approval Thresholds: Set it once - "Venues under $5k auto-approved", "Speaker fees over $20k need CMO sign-off". Watch Zoom expenses actually stay in check.

Real-Time Tracking: That VP who always asks "Where's this in the process?" Give them the dashboard link. Then enjoy the silence.

Conditional Logic: Rescheduled team sync? Auto-approve. Rescheduled investor meeting? Add Comms lead + legal to approval chain.

Bottom Line: Meetings Should Drive Decisions, Not Delay Them

If your team spends more time debating meeting outcomes than executing them, this integration isn't nice-to-have - it's damage control. ApproveThis + SimplyMeet.me via Zapier turns scheduling from a necessary evil into a decision-making accelerator.
