ApproveThis manages your Edens Integration approvals.

Two Platforms, One Powerful Partnership

When Edens' operational efficiency meets ApproveThis' structured approval systems, businesses gain an unprecedented advantage: automated decision-making that keeps pace with real-time business events. This integration isn't about replacing human judgment - it's about eliminating the administrative drag that slows down critical approvals in contract management, financial operations, and team coordination.

Why This Integration Matters Now

Edens excels at tracking time-sensitive business events like contract signings, invoice issuances, and PTO requests. ApproveThis adds decision-making structure through features like multi-step approvals, automatic delegation during vacations, and real-time audit trails. Together via Zapier, they create closed-loop systems where business events automatically trigger approval workflows - no manual handoffs required.

Real-World Workflows Transformed

1. Streamlining Contract Approvals for Legal Teams

When a sales contract gets signed in Edens, ApproveThis automatically routes it through legal review, finance approval, and executive sign-off based on deal size thresholds. Law firms and enterprise sales teams use this to:

• Enforce compliance checks before binding agreements
• Prevent revenue leakage from unapproved discounts

2. Invoice Processing Without the Paper Chase

Manufacturing companies link Edens' invoice tracking to ApproveThis' multi-department approval chains. When Edens issues a vendor invoice, ApproveThis simultaneously notifies:

• Department heads to verify goods receipt
• Accounting to confirm budget availability
• Controllers for final payment authorization

3. HR Teams Reclaim 12 Hours Monthly on PTO Management

Service businesses automate time-off requests where Edens triggers approval workflows in ApproveThis with built-in safeguards:

*Example:* A marketing agency routes PTO requests through team leads first (ensuring coverage), then HR (tracking accruals), with automatic denials if requested dates conflict with client deliverables marked in ApproveThis.

Technical Setup Made Simple

Connecting Edens to ApproveThis requires no coding through Zapier's visual interface:

1. Create Zapier account (if none exists)
2. Choose Edens trigger (e.g., "Contract Signed")
3. Select ApproveThis action ("Create Request")
4. Map Edens data fields to approval template

Key configuration tip: Use ApproveThis' calculated fields to auto-populate approval thresholds based on Edens' contract values or invoice amounts.

Cross-Functional Benefits

For Finance Teams

AP departments gain real-time visibility into invoice approval bottlenecks while maintaining separation of duties. ApproveThis' escalation rules automatically notify controllers when invoices approach payment deadlines.

For Operations Managers

Approval Groups in ApproveThis enable parallel reviews from quality control, inventory management, and logistics teams when Edens detects production milestones needing sign-off.

For External Partners

Client approvers receive email-based approvals without needing Edens logins. Architecture firms use this to get client signoffs on Edens-tracked project phases while maintaining a centralized audit trail.

Beyond Basic Automation: Advanced Tactics

While template-based Zaps provide immediate value, combining ApproveThis' deeper features with Edens data unlocks strategic advantages:

Dynamic Approval Paths

Use Edens' contract type field to trigger different approval chains in ApproveThis - NDAs might only need legal review, while partnership agreements route through legal, finance, and executive committees.

Auto-Approvals for Low-Risk Items

Set ApproveThis thresholds to automatically approve Edens invoices under $500 if submitted by pre-approved vendors, freeing managers for high-value exceptions.

Historical Pattern Analysis

Export approval timeline data from ApproveThis to identify seasonal bottlenecks in Edens-tracked processes, like Q4 contract review delays impacting revenue recognition.

Why This Integration Outperforms Native Solutions

While Edens offers basic approval features, ApproveThis adds enterprise-grade capabilities without IT overhead:

Example: A construction company needs project change orders (tracked in Edens) approved by safety, engineering, and client teams in sequence. ApproveThis enforces the order and prevents revisions after each approval stage - a process that would require custom development in most systems.

Getting Started Guide

Follow these steps to implement impact-first automations:

Phase 1: Audit current approval bottlenecks in Edens processes. Common candidates include contract amendments, expense reports, and inventory purchase approvals.

Phase 2: Build ApproveThis templates mirroring existing approval logic, adding automation enhancements like conditional fields or auto-escalation.

Phase 3: Use Zapier's Zap history to monitor initial automations, refining field mappings as needed.

The Bottom Line

Linking Edens and ApproveThis via Zapier isn't about chasing shiny tech - it's practical process engineering. By automating approval handoffs, businesses achieve:

• 34% faster contract turnaround (based on typical implementation data)
• 100% audit compliance on financial approvals
• 75% reduction in "where's my approval?" status inquiries
