ApproveThis manages your imeetify Integration approvals.
April 17, 2025
Integration Category: Calendar
Let’s cut through the corporate speak: scheduling approvals suck. You’ve got executives ghosting calendar invites, marketing teams triple-booking webinars, and client calls stuck in email purgatory. Enter imeetify – the scheduling workhorse – and ApproveThis, the no-BS approval engine. Connect them via Zapier, and suddenly you’re not just managing time slots, you’re running airtight processes that even your most scattered remote worker can’t derail.
Why This Combo Works (When Other Tools Crash and Burn)
imeetify handles the logistics: booking rooms, sending invites, juggling time zones. ApproveThis handles the politics: getting sign-offs, enforcing budgets, documenting decisions. Together, they turn “Hey, can we move this meeting?” from a three-day email chain into a two-click process.
Here’s the kicker for mid-sized companies: ApproveThis approvers don’t need imeetify licenses. Your client’s CFO can approve a $50K project kickoff meeting without you paying for another seat. Try that with your current “all-in-one” platform.
Real-World Fixes for Teams Who Hate Wasting Time
Marketing Teams: No More Unapproved “Brand Experiences”
That pop-up demo event your junior coordinator just booked? It’s now auto-sent for CMO review before the venue charges your card. ApproveThis triggers budget checks – if the demo costs over $5K, it routes to finance automatically. No more “We didn’t approve that!” screams during budget meetings.
HR Departments: Interview Panels That Actually Happen
When a candidate schedules a final-round interview via imeetify, ApproveThis pings all 5 department heads simultaneously. The first three to approve lock the date. No more chasing down busy VPs – their inbox becomes the approval queue.
Consulting Firms: Client Blackout Dates Made Simple
Your client’s IT team can’t do system upgrades during Q4? Build that rule into ApproveThis. Any imeetify booking tagged “Upgrade” during those months gets auto-rejected unless the CIO personally overrides it. Clients think you’re mind readers. You’re just using calculated fields.
The Nuts and Bolts: How To Set This Up Without Losing Your Mind
Zapier’s the glue here. Three steps even your least techy manager can handle:
- Connect imeetify to Zapier (takes 2 minutes – here’s imeetify’s setup guide)
- Choose your trigger: New appointment, cancellation, etc.
- Map the details to ApproveThis’ approval templates
Pro tip: Use ApproveThis’ approval thresholds for dollar-based auto-approvals. That $200 team lunch? Auto-approved. $20K conference sponsorship? Slaps an automatic “needs CFO review” label on the imeetify event.
When Life Happens: Cancellations, Reschedules, and Meltdowns
Your sales director just canceled a client QBR 24 hours before it happens. Normally, this would trigger:
- 5 panic emails
- A Slack thread with 47 messages
- One very awkward reschedule call
With the integration? The cancellation in imeetify triggers an ApproveThis workflow that:
- Checks the contract for cancellation fees
- Routes to legal if penalties apply
- Auto-sends the “We’re sorry, let’s reschedule” email after approvals
For Teams Who Think They’re “Too Special” For This
Legal Teams: Deposition Scheduling That Doesn’t Break Compliance
Every expert witness deposition scheduled via imeetify gets cross-checked against:
- Conflict of interest databases
- Court calendar deadlines
- Outside counsel availability
ApproveThis either greenlights the date or escalates to the lead attorney. No more “Oops, we forgot the judge is on vacation” disasters.
Healthcare: Patient Follow-Ups That Actually Follow Policy
When a patient books a post-op checkup in imeetify, ApproveThis checks:
- Is this within Medicare guidelines?
- Did the surgeon approve the timeline?
- Is the billing code valid for this procedure?
No approvals? The appointment gets flagged before it’s ever added to the doctor’s calendar.
The Hidden Perk: Auditing Made Less Soul-Crushing
Remember last quarter’s compliance audit where you had to manually cross-reference 1,200 calendar entries with approval emails? With this setup:
- Every imeetify event has an ApproveThis trail
- Denied requests show exact reasons
- All changes are version-controlled
Your auditors get a tidy report. You get to leave work before 7 PM.
Common Objections (And Why They’re Wrong)
“We already use [Some Fancy Calendar Tool]!”
Cool. Unless it natively handles multi-layer approvals with conditional logic, you’re still duct-taping a process together.
“Our people approve things via text!”
Even better. ApproveThis sends approvals via email – which they can respond to from their phone. No new apps to download. No training needed.
“We’re not technical enough for Zapier!”
The pre-built templates we’ve included have click-through guides. If your team can book a Zoom call, they can set this up.
How To Not Screw This Up
Do:
- Start with one high-stakes process (client contracts, budget-heavy events)
- Use ApproveThis’ vacation delegation – no more “Sorry, I was OOO” excuses
- Set escalation rules for approvals that stall
Don’t:
- Try to boil the ocean day one
- Forget to sync with imeetify’s statuses (Approved/Denied should update both systems)
- Leave calculated fields blank – that’s where the magic happens
Bottom Line: This Isn’t About Calendars
It’s about eliminating the 17 back-and-forth emails every time someone wants to book a meeting that costs money, involves clients, or needs cross-department sign-off. imeetify handles the when. ApproveThis handles the who and how much. You handle actually growing the business.
Book a 12-minute demo and we’ll show you how to set this up before your next all-hands meeting. Or keep playing calendar Tetris – your choice.
