ApproveThis manages your SignMore Integration approvals.

Your Docs Are Signed - Now What?

Here's the dirty secret about digital signatures: getting the actual signature is the easy part. The real bottleneck happens after someone clicks "sign." That's when the approval circus begins - chasing down department heads, waiting for legal to rubber-stamp things, praying finance doesn't ghost your invoice approval. Enter the ApproveThis + SignMore combo through Zapier. It's like giving your approval processes a double shot of espresso.

Signature Management vs. Approval Chaos

SignMore handles the signing party. ApproveThis manages the afterparty. While SignMore's great at collecting signatures and messages, it doesn't care what happens next. That's where we come in:

• SignMore's jam: Secure docs, e-signatures, message tracking
• ApproveThis' secret sauce: Automatic routing, multi-level approvals, real-time tracking

Together, they turn "Hey, can you approve this?" Slack spam into a self-running machine. Especially useful when you're dealing with external clients who shouldn't need full access to your internal systems.

Why Mid-Sized Companies Are Obsessed

For companies scaling past 50 employees, this integration solves three ugly problems:

1. Legal teams drowning in contract reviews
2. Sales ops stuck babysitting deal approvals
3. Procurement playing telephone with vendors

Take a 200-person SaaS company we worked with. Their sales team was closing deals faster than legal could approve contracts. Result? 12% of deals stalled at paperwork. After connecting SignMore to ApproveThis via Zapier, they automated legal → finance → CEO approval chains. Now contracts get fully executed 58% faster.

Real-World Use Cases That Don't Suck

1. Contract Approvals That Don't Require a Law Degree

Here's how it works for legal teams:

1. Sales sends MSA through SignMore
2. Zapier detects signed doc
3. ApproveThis automatically pings General Counsel
4. GC approves/denies via email (no login needed)
5. Approved contract files itself in Salesforce

Bonus: Our approval thresholds mean small contracts auto-approve below $5K. Legal only sees big fish.

2. Vendor Onboarding That Doesn't Make You Want to Cry

Procurement teams love this setup:

- Vendor signs SOW in SignMore
- Zapier triggers approval workflow
- ApproveThis routes to department head → accounting
- Auto-approve if under budget
- PO gets generated automatically

Pro tip: Use our vacation delegation so approvers out sick don't bottleneck the process.

3. HR Paperwork That Actually Gets Done

New hire scenario:

1. Candidate signs offer letter in SignMore
2. Zapier alerts HR in ApproveThis
3. System routes equipment requests to IT
4. Budget approval goes to Finance
5. Everything syncs to BambooHR

HR managers save 7 hours/week on follow-ups. True story.

Setting This Up Without Losing Your Mind

Here's the 5-minute version:

1. Create a Zapier account (free tier works)
2. Connect SignMore as trigger ("New Signed Document")
3. Connect ApproveThis as action ("Create Approval Request")
4. Map document fields to approval request
5. Test with a dummy document

Pro move: Set up conditional logic in ApproveThis so NDAs auto-route to legal, while invoices go straight to accounting.

Why This Beats Manual Approvals

Let's get real - if you're still doing approvals manually in 2024, you're basically using carrier pigeons. Here's what changes:

For execs: See approval bottlenecks in real dashboards
For ops: Stop playing approval traffic cop
For finance: Audit trails that actually make sense
For IT: Fewer "I didn't get the email" tickets

The Hidden Perks You'll Actually Care About

Beyond the obvious time saves:

- External approvers: Clients can approve via email without SignMore logins
- Compliance armor: Every decision timestamped and logged
- Budget control: Auto-reject requests over $X without awkward convos
- No more approval amnesia: Comments stay attached to requests

Who Should Steal This Setup?

This isn't just for tech companies. We've seen it crush in:

- Property Management: Lease approvals with external landlords
- Healthcare: Compliance doc sign-offs
- Manufacturing: PO approvals across global teams
- Nonprofits: Grant application reviews

Common Mistakes (Save Yourself the Pain)

1. Don't: Use single-approver workflows - defeats the purpose
2. Do: Set escalation rules for MIA approvers
3. Don't: Skip calculated fields for budget approvals
4. Do: Test with edge cases first
