When Your Intranet Shakes Hands With Approval Automation
Let’s get real – most companies between 50-5,000 employees aren’t lacking tools. They’re drowning in them. MangoApps keeps your teams aligned, while ApproveThis keeps decisions moving. But when you connect these two through Zapier? That’s when you stop babysitting approval requests and start clearing bottlenecks like a janitor with a vendetta.
MangoApps does the heavy lifting as your company’s digital HQ – intranet, document sharing, employee updates. ApproveThis? It’s the no-BS traffic cop for decisions. Together, they automate the crap work no one joined your company to do. Think: auto-escalating budget approvals when Karen from accounting’s on vacation, or instantly turning approved vendor contracts into team tasks without a single Slack ping.
Why This Combo Doesn’t Just “Work” – It Actually Solves Shit
We’ve all seen those “integration” articles that promise the moon. Here’s what this pairing actually fixes:
Kills Approval Black Holes
MangoApps posts about the new marketing campaign? Great. But when that campaign needs a $20K budget sign-off, things get messy. ApproveThis adds decision teeth to collaboration – auto-routing requests based on amount, department, or approval urgency. Finance leads approve via email without touching MangoApps. Legal gets looped in only when contracts hit $50K. No more guessing who’s holding things up.
Makes Compliance Less of a Joke
HR teams – this one’s for you. Employee offboarding checklists in MangoApps become enforceable workflows. IT access removal requires 3 approvals? Done. Every “approved” triggers an audit trail even your grumpiest auditor can’t hate. And because ApproveThis approvers don’t need MangoApps licenses, external partners can greenlight stuff without you buying seats for people who just need to say “yes.”
Turns “We’ll Get To It” Into “Already Done”
That MangoApps event for the sales summit? The second it’s approved, Zapier auto-creates prep tasks across departments. Marketing gets swag deadlines. Facilities books rooms. All because the approval didn’t just live in a PDF attachment somewhere.
Real Workflows for Teams Who Hate Wasting Time
For HR Teams Tired of Playing Approval Tag
Use Case: Employee Policy Updates
Draft the new remote work policy in MangoApps. The second it’s posted, ApproveThis fires off compliance approvals to Legal, Finance, and department heads. Legal wants changes? They comment directly in the approval thread. Final version auto-publishes to the employee handbook once everyone’s signed off. No version control nightmares. No “I thought you handled that.”
For IT Departments Done Being Help Desk Heroes
Use Case: Software Access Requests
Employee submits a Jira ticket? Old way: IT manually pings managers for approval. New way: Zapier detects the MangoApps ticket, ApproveThis routes it based on software cost ($100 apps get auto-approved, $500+ needs director sign-off). Approved? IT gets an auto-task in MangoApps to provision access. Denied? Requester gets a polite “Blame your boss” email.
For Finance Teams Who Want to Say “Yes” Faster
Use Case: Purchase Order Green Lights
Vendor contract lands in MangoApps. ApproveThis checks amount against department budgets – under $5K? Auto-approved with a recorded audit trail. Over $5K? Routes to CFO with vendor risk scoring pulled from your CRM. Approved POs sync back as locked PDFs in MangoApps. Month-end reporting? Pull approval timelines straight from ApproveThis dashboards.
Setting This Up Without Losing Your Mind
If you can set up an out-of-office email, you can handle this:
- Pick Your Pain Point: Start with one process – event approvals, content publishing, contract reviews.
- Build the Approval Logic: In ApproveThis, set thresholds (e.g., “Route to legal over $10K”), approver groups, and auto-reminders.
- Connect the Dots in Zapier: Use pre-built templates for MangoApps triggers → ApproveThis actions (or vice versa). Test with a low-stakes process first.
Pro tip: Use ApproveThis’s vacation delegation so approvals never stall when approvers are OOO. MangoApps tasks get auto-assigned to backups without you lifting a finger.
Why This Isn’t Just Another “Integration”
Most app combos just shuffle data. This one actually changes how decisions happen:
Approvals Become Part of the Workflow – Not a Roadblock
Content teams: Draft a blog post in MangoApps. When it’s ready, ApproveThis pings editors via email. They comment directly in the approval thread. Once live, Google Analytics data auto-attaches to the original request. No more digging through emails to prove something was approved.
External Clients Stop Ghosting You
Agency folks: Client needs to approve that campaign brief? Send the request via ApproveThis. They get a branded portal to review, comment, and sign off. No MangoApps logins needed. Late responder? The system escalates to their boss after 48 hours. Suddenly, clients respect your deadlines.
Auditors Actually Smile at You
Every approval in ApproveThis records who approved what, when, and why. MangoApps stores the final docs. During audits, pull up the entire decision chain in two clicks. No more panic-searching Slack threads from 6 months ago.
Bottom Line: Approval Workflows Should Work – Not Annoy
Companies between 50-5,000 employees don’t need more software. They need the tools they have to actually fix broken processes. Connecting MangoApps and ApproveThis via Zapier isn’t about tech – it’s about eliminating the decision paralysis that costs mid-sized companies 12% of their productivity annually (don’t fact-check that, but you know it’s true).
ApproveThis isn’t just a “nice-to-have” – it’s the approval layer MangoApps wishes it had built. Together, they handle the bureaucratic crap that slows down companies scaling past startup mode.
Time to Stop Approving This Article and Fix Your Workflows
You’ve read enough. Either keep doing approvals the broken way, or spend 15 minutes setting up a demo to see how this actually works. Your teams working in MangoApps will wonder why approvals suddenly feel less like nagging and more like actual progress.
Or don’t. We’re not your mom. But if you’re still manually routing approvals in 2024… maybe let your competitors read this first.
