ApproveThis manages your Rebolt Form builder Integration approvals.

Let’s cut to the chase: forms are where good ideas go to die. Someone fills out a request, it sits in three inboxes, and by the time it’s approved, the project’s irrelevant. But what if you could turn those Rebolt Form submissions into approved actions before your coffee gets cold? That’s where ApproveThis comes in – and no, your approvers don’t need another software login to make it work.

Why Rebolt + ApproveThis = Fewer Meetings About Meetings

Rebolt’s great at collecting data. ApproveThis is great at getting people to actually decide what to do with that data. Together? They’re like that coworker who actually replies to Slack threads – unexpectedly efficient.

Here’s the breakdown:

• Rebolt’s Job: Make forms people don’t hate filling out
• ApproveThis’ Job: Make sure those forms don’t get stuck in “Who’s supposed to OK this?” limbo

Real Companies Actually Using This (No Stock Photo Teams Here)

HR Teams: Onboarding That Doesn’t Require 17 Signatures

Picture this: New hire submits their equipment request via Rebolt. Zapier pings ApproveThis, which routes it to IT (budget check), Facilities (desk assignment), and Legal (NDA). All approved before lunch. Vacation delegation means approvals don’t stall when someone’s OOO – huge when you’re dealing with contractors who don’t have your internal tools.

Finance Teams: Purchase Requests That Don’t Require Begging

Department head submits a Rebolt form for new software. ApproveThis automatically routes it based on amount:
$500? Team lead approval.
$5,000? CFO gets involved.
Bonus: Calculated fields auto-flag requests that exceed quarterly budgets.

Marketing Teams: Campaign Approvals That Don’t Require 3 Weeks

Social media manager submits a Rebolt form for a new ad. ApproveThis sends it to Legal (compliance), Finance (budget), and the CMO (brand voice) – in order. If Legal rejects it, Finance and CMO never get bothered. Real-time tracking means you’re not sending “Hey, just checking…” emails every 6 hours.

How This Actually Works (No Tech Jargon)

1. Connect via Zapier: Zapier acts as the translator between Rebolt and ApproveThis
2. Trigger: New Rebolt form submission → “Hey ApproveThis, we’ve got work to do”
3. Action: ApproveThis creates an approval request with all the form data attached
4. Decide: Approvers click approve/deny right from their email (no login required)

Why Your Approvers Won’t Hate This

Approval thresholds mean junior staff can handle routine OKs without escalation. Approval groups prevent the “I thought Susan was handling it” problem. And because approvers only need ApproveThis access (not Rebolt logins), you can loop in clients or contractors without buying extra seats.

Setting This Up Without Losing Your Mind

1. Create your Rebolt form
Include fields that matter for approvals: budget amount, project type, requester dept.

2. Build the Zap
Zapier template: “New Rebolt submission → Create ApproveThis request”
Map form fields to ApproveThis’ calculated fields (e.g., “Total Cost” triggers approval thresholds)

3. Set approval rules in ApproveThis
Example: Purchases over $1k auto-route to CFO + require two department head approvals

4. Test with a real request
Pro tip: Name your test submission “URGENT - DO NOT APPROVE” so people actually read it

The Nuts and Bolts Your IT Team Cares About

Security: ApproveThis uses SAML/SSO same as your other enterprise tools. Compliance: Audit trails show exactly who approved what and when. Scalability: Handles 10 or 10,000 monthly requests without someone manually forwarding emails.

When Not to Use This (Yes, Really)

If your approval process is “Shout across the office and hope someone hears you,” maybe start with documenting actual workflows first. This isn’t magic – it just automates the processes you already (theoretically) have.

What You’re Really Saving (Besides Sanity)

For a 200-person company processing 500 approvals/month:
→ 75% reduction in “Where’s that form?” Slack messages
→ 60% faster approval cycles (from 3.2 days to 19 hours in real deployments)
→ 100% fewer interns stuck manually updating spreadsheets

Ready to Stop Being a Human Routing Bot?

If you’ve got Rebolt forms and more than two approval steps, you’re already wasting money on avoidable delays. ApproveThis has a free tier for small teams – takes 8 minutes to set up your first automated workflow. Or book a demo if you’d rather see how 500-person companies handle 10k+ monthly approvals without hiring a coordinator.

Final note: Yes, it works with your existing Rebolt account. No, you don’t need to make clients sign up for anything. And yes, the CFO will finally stop asking why every software request is “urgent.”
