When Feedback Meets Approval Magic

Let's get real: user feedback is gold, but most companies treat it like a rusty tin can. It sits in spreadsheets, gets lost in Slack threads, or dies a slow death in someone's inbox. Wiredash solves half the problem by giving you a clean way to collect feedback directly from your app. But then what? That's where ApproveThis comes in – we're the "oh right, we should actually do something with this" part of the equation.

Here's the play: Wiredash catches the feedback, ApproveThis decides what to do about it. Connect them through Zapier, and you've got a system where every piece of user input automatically kicks off a decision process. No more letting great ideas rot in a CSV file. No more chaotic approval chains that require 17 Slack pings to resolve. Just clean, trackable, actually executable next steps.

Why This Combo Works (When Other Tools Don't)

Most approval tools are built for finance teams or legal docs. ApproveThis? We're built for the messy middle – the stuff that happens after feedback comes in but before it becomes a Jira ticket, a refund, or a feature update. Wiredash tells you the "what," we handle the "who needs to sign off on this and how fast."

Three things that make this integration stupidly useful:

  • Approvers don't need Wiredash access (or another license). Great for when your marketing team needs legal to review feedback about privacy concerns, but legal shouldn't have full access to your feedback dashboard.
  • Automatic prioritization using ApproveThis' thresholds. 500 users requesting dark mode? That auto-escalates to the CTO. One user's niche feature request? Routes to a product manager for triage.
  • No more approval black holes. Every piece of feedback gets a clear owner, deadline, and audit trail. Try explaining that level of accountability with your current email chains.

Real-World Uses That Don't Suck

We'll skip the fluffy "improve collaboration!" claims. Here's exactly how mid-sized companies use this integration:

For SaaS Teams: From Feedback to Feature Roadmap

Scenario: Your app gets 82 requests for a calendar integration. Normally, these would sit in Wiredash until someone remembers to check the dashboard. With the integration:

  1. Wiredash triggers a Zapier flow on submission
  2. ApproveThis creates a request with calculated fields (total requests, user segments affected)
  3. Auto-routes based on thresholds: 10+ requests go to product lead, 50+ auto-approve and create a Jira ticket

Result: The calendar feature got prioritized 3x faster last quarter. PMs stopped wasting time manually tallying feedback.

For E-Commerce: Refunds Without the Fire Drills

Scenario: Users submit feedback about damaged products via your app. Old way: support rep has to Slack finance, wait for reply, then respond. New way:

  1. Wiredash submission tagged "Refund Request"
  2. ApproveThis creates approval with attached order history
  3. Finance approves via email (no login needed), refund processed

Result: 65% faster refund resolution. Finance team cut their "urgent" Slack requests by half.

For Agencies: Client Feedback That Doesn't Haunt You

Scenario: Client submits app feedback via Wiredash. Without a process, this leads to 3 AM emails about button colors. With the integration:

  1. Feedback creates approval task in ApproveThis
  2. Auto-assigns to project lead based on client
  3. Lead approves scope/budget impact, only then does it go to devs

Result: One agency reduced out-of-scope work by 40% in 6 months. Developers stopped getting random change requests.

Setting This Up Without Losing Your Mind

If you can make a sandwich, you can set this up:

  1. Connect Wiredash and ApproveThis to Zapier (takes 2 minutes per app)
  2. Choose trigger: "New Feedback Submitted" in Wiredash
  3. Set action: "Create Approval Request" in ApproveThis
  4. Map Wiredash fields (feedback text, user info) to ApproveThis
  5. Test with real feedback. Hit publish.

Pro tip: Use ApproveThis' calculated fields to auto-score feedback urgency. Example: [Number of similar submissions] x [User's plan tier] = Priority score. Route high scores to execs, low scores to interns.

Why This Beats Building It Yourself

Sure, your devs could hack together an approval system. But then you'd need to handle:

  • Approval chains when someone's OOO (ApproveThis does auto-delegation)
  • Mobile approvals (we work in email, no app required)
  • Audit trails for compliance (every decision is logged)

One logistics company tried the DIY route. Their homegrown system failed when two approvers were on PTO simultaneously. ApproveThis' vacation delegation handled it automatically. Crisis averted.

Teams That Actually Use This (And Why)

Product Teams: Kill the Roadmap Committee Meetings

Connect Wiredash feedback to ApproveThis workflows that factor in:

- Number of duplicate requests
- User's LTV
- Estimated dev effort (pulled from your PM tool via Zapier)

Outcome: Features get approved based on data, not who shouts loudest in meetings.

Support Teams: Escalate Without the Anxiety

When Wiredash feedback includes words like "broken" or "not working":

- Auto-create high-priority approval
- Route to engineering lead with 1-hour SLA
- If no approval in 60 mins, escalate to CTO

Result: Critical bugs get fixed 2x faster. Support stops playing approval whisperer.

Exec Teams: Visibility Without Micromanaging

ApproveThis dashboards show which feedback is stuck:
- Waiting on legal? Filter by "awaiting legal review"
- Stale requests? Sort by oldest first

No more surprise escalations. Just a clean way to unblock bottlenecks.

Cool Features You'll Actually Use

Beyond the basics, here's what makes this combo sing:

Silent Approvals (For the Lazy Geniuses)

Set rules like "If 10+ users report the same bug, auto-approve escalation to devs." ApproveThis handles it without human intervention. You look proactive, did 5 minutes of work.

Contextual Nagging

ApproveThis reminders aren't just "hey, approve this." They include:
- How many other users gave similar feedback
- Time since submission
- Estimated revenue impact (if you connect your CRM)

Approvals happen faster when people have context.

Bridge the Silos

Wiredash feedback from the mobile app needs marketing, legal, and product signoff? ApproveThis routes sequentially:
1. Legal checks for compliance risks
2. Product assesses feasibility
3. Marketing approves comms plan
All in one thread, with deadlines. Miracle.

Bottom Line: Stop Letting Feedback Rot

Wiredash tells you what users want. ApproveThis gets it done. Together, they turn feedback from a cost center into a roadmap accelerator. No more lost requests, no more approval amnesia.
