ApproveThis manages your Rebump Integration approvals.

When "Set It and Forget It" Meets "Approve This, Please"

Let's be real – chasing email approvals is like herding cats while blindfolded. Someone always misses the thread. The legal team ghosts you. Your client's CFO "didn't see the attachment." Rebump automates the herding. ApproveThis handles the blindfold removal. Together? You get tracked follow-ups that actually get decisions – without turning into that person who sends "Just bumping this!" emails daily.

Rebump's email automation isn't just about nagging people. It's about creating system-to-system handoffs where ApproveThis handles the human decision layer. Think of it like this: Rebump ensures the right message hits the right inbox at the right time. ApproveThis ensures the person in that inbox can say yes/no in one click without needing to log into yet another tool.

Why This Combo Doesn't Suck for Mid-Sized Companies

Companies between 50-5k employees hit a sweet spot: enough process to need structure, but not enough bureaucracy to move slowly. The Rebump/ApproveThis integration attacks three specific pain points:

1. External approvals that don't require a tech rollout: Your client's legal team shouldn't need a Rebump license to approve contract changes. With ApproveThis, they get email-based approvals that feed directly back into Rebump's tracking. No new logins. No permissions drama.

2. Audit trails for things that shouldn't be audited: Ever had a vendor claim they "never got the PO approval request"? Rebump's tracking shows the email was delivered and opened. ApproveThis shows exactly when they clicked "approve." Suddenly, that "missing" approval isn't your problem anymore.

3. Escalations that don't make you look desperate: Rebump's automated follow-ups get labeled as persistent. ApproveThis' escalation rules make it about policy. "Per our $5k threshold, this now requires VP approval" feels better than "Hey, can you look at this again?"

Real Uses for People Who Hate "Use Cases"

Procurement Teams: Stop Being Ghosted by Vendors

Scenario: Your team orders $12k in IT hardware. Vendor sends a quote that needs three internal approvals. Old way: Forward the email, pray someone replies. New way:

1. Quote email gets tracked in Rebump
2. Zapier triggers ApproveThis workflow (IT Director > Finance > VP Ops)
3. Each approver gets Rebump-tracked emails with ApproveThis links
4. Once approved, Rebump auto-sends PO to vendor

Bonus: ApproveThis' calculated fields auto-route approvals based on quote totals. Under $10k? Skip VP review. Over? Add them automatically. No manual triage.

Sales Ops: Discount Approvals That Don't Kill Deals

Problem: Your AE promises 15% off to close a deal. Legal needs to review. Instead of Slack pings:

• AE adds deal to CRM
• Rebump tracks legal team's email response time
• ApproveThis routes request based on discount size
• If legal doesn't approve in 24h, Rebump bumps + ApproveThis escalates to CRO

Key detail: ApproveThis approvers get email links with pre-filled deal terms. No digging through attachments.

HR: Policy Updates That Don't Get Lost in Legal

Every handbook change requires legal + compliance + CEO sign-off. Instead of PDFs floating in inboxes:

• Rebump tracks each approver's email opens
• ApproveThis enforces sequential approvals (legal first, then compliance, then exec)
• If compliance sits on it for a week, Rebump nudges them daily
• Once CEO approves, Rebump auto-sends finalized doc to全体员工

Setting This Up Without Losing Your Mind

Zapier's the glue here. You'll need:

1. A Zapier account (obviously)
2. ApproveThis connected – takes 2 minutes
3. Rebump installed in Gmail

The "Quote Approval" Zap Example

Trigger: New email in Rebump with subject "Quote for Approval"

Action: Create ApproveThis request mapped to:

• Vendor name (pulled from email body)
• Amount (auto-extracted by ApproveThis' calculated fields)
• Approval path (determined by amount thresholds)

Pro tip: Use ApproveThis' email templates to include Rebump's tracking pixel. Now you see when approvers open the email before clicking approve/deny.

Teams That Stop Hating Mondays

For Finance:

Invoice approvals with Rebump's persistent tracking + ApproveThis' delegation. Jane in AP is out? Approvals auto-reassign to Bob without missing follow-up deadlines.

For Legal:

Contract reviews that can't get buried. Rebump ensures they see the request. ApproveThis ensures they don't need to log into Salesforce just to say "approved."

For Execs:

Big decisions happen in email. Now those threads automatically convert into tracked approval records. No more "I thought I replied to that."

Cool Features You'll Actually Use

Beyond the basics:

• Vacation Delegation: Rebump knows when someone's OOO. ApproveThis auto-reassigns their approvals. No more "Waiting on Jim (back in 3 weeks)" statuses.
• Approval Groups: Route marketing spend approvals to entire team – only need 3/5 to approve. Legal stuff? Strictly sequential (lawyer > CFO > CEO).
• Conditional Fields: Rebump detects a $50k quote? ApproveThis auto-adds tax compliance checks. Under $10k? Skip straight to manager.

How to Not Screw This Up

Common mistakes we've seen:

• Over-automating: Don't zap every Rebump email into ApproveThis. Start with high-value processes (contracts, POs, budgets).
• Ignoring thresholds: Use ApproveThis' calculated fields to auto-route based on $ amounts or risk levels.
• Forgetting the human layer: Rebump's tracking is great, but ApproveThis' email approvals need clear subject lines. "Approve [Vendor] PO #1234?" > "Please review."

Bottom Line: This Isn't "RPA" BS

This integration won't "transform your business." But it will:

• Cut 3+ days off approval cycles
• Reduce "Did you get that email?" by about 90%
• Make auditors slightly less annoying

If your company's big enough to have approval processes but small enough that people still use Gmail, this combo works. No enterprise sales calls required.
