ApproveThis manages your Blipboard Integration approvals.

Why Combine ApproveThis with Blipboard?

Businesses thrive when decisions happen quickly, but speed means nothing without accountability. ApproveThis brings structure to approvals—whether you’re signing off on budgets, troubleshooting equipment, or launching campaigns. Blipboard adds real-time visibility, turning critical events into actionable alerts. Together, they close the gap between “something happened” and “we acted on it.”

For teams using Blipboard to monitor operations, sales pipelines, or IT systems, adding ApproveThis means every alarm can trigger a formal approval process. No more lost emails or Slack threads. For approvers, it means decisions happen in one place—with deadlines, reminders, and audit trails. Best of all, external partners or clients can review requests without needing access to Blipboard itself.

Key Integration Benefits

This integration isn’t just about connecting tools—it’s about aligning people and processes. Here’s how it works:

• Automate Escalations: Turn Blipboard alarms into approval requests that route to the right person based on severity, cost, or department.
• Visibility Without Overload: Send Blipboard notifications only for high-priority approvals, keeping teams focused.

For example, a logistics company using Blipboard to track delivery delays could auto-create approval requests for rerouting shipments. Approvers get all details upfront—cost impact, alternate routes—and decide via email or dashboard. Once resolved, Blipboard clears the alert, and ApproveThis logs the decision.

Real-World Use Cases

1. Instant Approval Triggers for Critical Alerts

When Blipboard detects an issue—a server outage, inventory shortage, or compliance breach—it can automatically create an approval request in ApproveThis. This is critical for industries where delays cost money:

Manufacturing Example: A factory’s Blipboard monitors assembly line sensors. When a machine exceeds temperature limits, it triggers an approval request for emergency maintenance. The operations manager receives an email with repair options and costs, approves via mobile, and the workflow auto-updates Blipboard.

ApproveThis Features Used: Approval thresholds (auto-approve repairs under $1K), vacation delegation (if the manager is out), and real-time tracking.

2. Notify Teams When Approvals Are pending

Sometimes the approval itself needs visibility. When a new request starts in ApproveThis, Blipboard can post a blip to relevant boards—ensuring stakeholders know to expect a decision.

Marketing Example: A campaign proposal needs CMO sign-off. Once submitted in ApproveThis, Blipboard sends a blip to the “Launch Timeline” board. The creative team sees the pending approval and preps assets while waiting, cutting downtime by 30%.

ApproveThis Features Used: Calculated fields (auto-add budget impact), approval groups (require sequential reviews from legal and finance first).

Setup in Four Steps

Connect ApproveThis and Blipboard using Zapier. No coding required:

1. Choose a Trigger: Pick “Alarm Raised” in Blipboard or “New Request” in ApproveThis.
2. Select an Action: Create an approval request or send a blip.
3. Map Data Fields: Pull details like alarm type, cost, or requester into ApproveThis.
4. Test and Activate: Run a test alarm or request to confirm the workflow.

For advanced logic, like escalating high-cost approvals, use ApproveThis’ conditional routing during setup.

Team-Specific Advantages

Operations Teams

Cut downtime by linking equipment alarms (Blipboard) to maintenance approvals (ApproveThis). Technicians get immediate visibility, and managers approve repairs from anywhere.

Finance Teams

Auto-route budget overruns detected in Blipboard for CFO review. Use approval thresholds to auto-approve minor expenses, reducing manual work by 40%.

Project Managers

Keep launches on track by blipping boards when client sign-offs are pending. ApproveThis’ real-time dashboard shows which delays are approval-related.

Why This Integration Works

Blipboard excels at making the invisible visible—showing what’s broken, overdue, or off-track. ApproveThis adds the “what now?” layer, ensuring those insights lead to action. Together, they’re ideal for:

Multi-Team Workflows: Facilities submits a repair request via ApproveThis, triggering a Blipboard alert for IT. Both teams track progress without switching tools.

External Collaborators: Clients approve design mockups in ApproveThis without needing Blipboard access. Internal teams still see blips for context.
