When Scheduling Meets Approval Power
Let's cut through the corporate jargon: OnceHub helps you book meetings. ApproveThis helps you get shit approved. Together? They become the ultimate tag team for companies tired of chasing down decisions while leads go cold or meetings get stuck in limbo.
Picture this: A sales lead books a demo through OnceHub. Before that meeting hits your calendar, ApproveThis automatically pings your sales director for confirmation. No back-and-forth emails. No "Did you see the invite?" Slack messages. Just clean handoffs that keep your pipeline moving.
Why This Combo Doesn't Suck
OnceHub's good at what it does - capturing leads through scheduling forms and chatbots. But then what? That's where 87% of companies face decision paralysis. ApproveThis cuts through that by adding structure to the "Okay, now who needs to sign off on this?" phase.
Key differentiators:
- No license headaches: External vendors can approve requests via email without needing OnceHub access
- Conditional logic: Auto-approve routine meetings under $5K, escalate complex requests
- Real-time audit trails: See exactly who delayed approving that rescheduled enterprise deal review
Real-World Use Cases That Don't Feel Forced
1. Sales Team Handoffs That Actually Work
When a lead books a high-value consultation through OnceHub's ScheduleOnce:
→ Auto-create approval request in ApproveThis
→ Sales ops gets 24h to verify lead qualification
→ If approved: Meeting confirmed + CRM updated
→ If denied: Auto-cancel with templated email
Impact: Enterprise software company reduced no-show demos by 62% by vetting leads before calendar commits.
2. HR That Doesn't Ghost Candidates
When a hiring manager reschedules final-round interviews:
→ Trigger approval chain in ApproveThis
→ Require TA lead + department head sign-off
→ Auto-update OnceHub booking post-approval
→ Denied? Candidate gets reschedule options instantly
Impact: Mid-sized tech firm cut interview scheduling time from 3 days to 4 hours.
3. Procurement That Can't Be Bamboozled
When vendor requests a meeting via SubmitOnce form:
→ Auto-check against approved vendor list
→ Route to budget owner if over $10K
→ Sync approved meetings to OnceHub
→ Denied requests trigger standard RFP process
Impact: Manufacturing company prevented $240K in unapproved vendor commitments last quarter.
Setting This Up Without Losing Your Mind
Zapier's the glue here. Three-step process:
- Create Zapier account (if you don't have one)
- Connect OnceHub and ApproveThis as apps
- Pick your triggers from the templates below
Pro tip: Start with the "Contact Captured → Approval Request" workflow. Takes 9 minutes to set up and immediately shows ROI.
Department-Specific Wins
Sales Operations
Stop being the meeting police. Set approval thresholds where:
- Deals over $50K auto-route to VP
- International leads need legal review
- Competitor logos trigger extra scrutiny
Human Resources
Make managers accountable for scheduling fuckups:
- Require dual approval for last-minute interview changes
- Auto-escalate if approvals stall during blackout periods
- Integrate with your ATS for candidate status updates
IT & Procurement
Kill shadow meetings with vendors:
- All third-party meetings require security review
- Budget approvals sync to OnceHub booking details
- Denied requests auto-archive with compliance notes
Advanced Moves for Teams That Mean Business
Once you've nailed the basics, try these:
Dynamic approval paths: If a OnceHub booking includes "enterprise" in the title, require CRO signoff.
Auto-denial rules: Flag meetings requesting NDA review without legal present.
Approval analytics: Find out which department leads always delay high-value deal reviews.
Common Objections (And Why They're Bullshit)
"We already have calendar approvals in Outlook!"
Cool. Do those auto-revise based on contract value? Sync with CRM? Provide audit trails? Didn't think so.
"Our process is too complex for automation."
ApproveThis handles 37-step approvals with conditional branches. Your "complex" process isn't special.
"We'll lose the human touch!"
The human touch is why you're still chasing down approvers via text message at 11 PM.
Bottom Line
If your company books more than 20 meetings a week through OnceHub, you're hemorrhaging time on manual approvals. ApproveThis isn't another SaaS toy - it's the pressure release valve for teams drowning in "Just need one more signoff..." hell.
