ApproveThis manages your HEU Integration approvals.

Let’s get real: contracts are the lifeblood of business, but managing them? It’s like herding cats while someone keeps moving the finish line. Between legal reviews, stakeholder sign-offs, and version control nightmares, most teams waste more time talking about contracts than actually using them to get shit done. That’s why pairing ApproveThis with HEU isn’t just another “integration” – it’s a straight-up intervention for companies tired of approval processes that move at the speed of dial-up.

Why This Combo Works Like a Double Shot of Espresso

HEU handles the heavy lifting of contract creation and management. ApproveThis cuts through the bureaucratic fog of getting those contracts approved. Together? They turn what used to be a 15-round email boxing match into a clean three-step process. No more chasing down signatures in Slack. No more “I thought YOU were reviewing this!” meltdowns. Just contracts that actually keep pace with your deals.

HEU’s Contract Muscle Meets ApproveThis’ Approval Reflexes

HEU brings the brains: template libraries, clause databases, all that legal jazz. ApproveThis brings the brawn: automated routing that knows exactly who needs to approve what, when, and in what order. Think of it like GPS for your contracts – they still have to navigate the legal landscape, but now there’s no wrong turns into “CC’ing the Entire Company” Boulevard.

Real Teams Getting Real Results (Without Hiring More Lawyers)

Here’s where this gets concrete. We’re not talking about some theoretical “efficiency gains.” These are actual use cases we’ve seen work for companies between 200-4,500 employees:

Use Case 1: New Contract? Automatic Approval Chains

How it works: Every time HEU detects a new contract draft (sales agreement, vendor PO, NDA – you name it), ApproveThis instantly fires off approval requests to the right people. Legal gets first dibs, then finance checks the numbers, finally the department head gives the nod. All without someone manually playing tag with Outlook.

Who kills it with this: - SaaS companies closing 100+ deals/month - Healthcare providers managing vendor contracts - Manufacturers negotiating supplier terms

Use Case 2: Approved? Docs Auto-Publish with Zero Clicks

The magic: Once ApproveThis gets the final “YES” from your CFO or legal team, HEU automatically generates the fully executed contract. No more downloading PDFs, re-uploading to some folder, or (god forbid) printing and scanning. The approved version lives where it should, when it should.

Real-world impact: One logistics company cut their contract turnaround from 11 days to 38 hours. Their secret? This exact workflow. Now their sales team can actually hit quarterly quotas without begging legal for status updates.

Why Your Team Won’t Revolt Against This Setup

Let’s address the elephant in the room: most workflow tools require everyone to learn some new system. Not here. ApproveThis approvers can greenlight contracts right from their email – no HEU license needed. External clients? They get the same simple approve/reject links. No training, no passwords, no “I can’t find the document” chaos.

Features That Actually Matter When You’re Scaling

- Approval Thresholds: Contracts under $50K auto-approve after legal review? Done. Over that amount? Finance gets added to the chain automatically.
- Vacation Coverage: Your GC taking a rare day off? Approvals automatically reroute to their second-in-command.
- Calculated Fields: Auto-calculate contract risk scores based on clauses used, triggering different approval paths.

Setting This Up Without Losing Your Mind

If you can build an IKEA shelf, you can handle this:
1. Create a Zapier account (free tier works to test)
2. Connect HEU as your trigger (“New Document Added”)
3. Connect ApproveThis as your action (“Create Approval Request”)
4. Map HEU’s contract details to ApproveThis’ fields (takes 2 minutes)
5. Test with a dummy contract. Boom – live in under 20 minutes.

Pro Tip: Add This One Filter and Save Legal’s Sanity

Use Zapier’s filter step to only send contracts for approval if they’re marked “Final Draft” in HEU. Because nobody wants to approve a document that’s still got [INSERT CLAUSE HERE] placeholders.

Department-Specific Wins (No Fluff)

Legal Teams: Fewer “Urgent!” Emails at 11 PM

Set priority levels in ApproveThis based on HEU’s contract type. NDAs get fast-tracked. Master service agreements follow the full review chain. You finally get to focus on actual risk management instead of herding stakeholders.

Sales: Close Deals Before the Competition Wakes Up

When HEU detects a signed proposal, ApproveThis auto-triggers the contract process. Your reps get real-time approval status right in Salesforce. No more guessing if legal’s reviewed the redlines yet.

Procurement: Stop Being the Bottleneck

Vendor contracts under $10K? Auto-approved after manager review. Over that threshold? Finance joins the chain automatically. You get audit trails without the manual oversight.

The Hidden Benefit Nobody Talks About

Compliance. Yeah, we said it. With every approval step logged in ApproveThis and final docs stored in HEU, you’re audit-ready 24/7. SOC 2 compliance? More like “check that box and move on.”

Why This Isn’t Just Another Zapier Integration

Most app pairings just shuffle data. This one actually changes how teams work. Contracts move forward without constant follow-ups. Approvers stay in their comfort zone (email). Legal keeps control without becoming the villain. And you? You get to stop being the approval traffic cop.

Ready to Stop Babysitting Contracts?

If your contract process still involves more than two “per my last email” follow-ups, it’s time to upgrade. Get ApproveThis, connect it to HEU via Zapier, and start closing deals faster than your legal team can say “force majeure.” Or book a demo to see how approval automation actually works when it’s built for humans, not robots.

P.S. If you’re still manually tracking contract approvals in spreadsheets, we’re not judging. But your competitors probably are.
