ApproveThis manages your NeetoForm Integration approvals.

When Form Meets Function
Let's be real - most companies using NeetoForm aren't just collecting cat memes (though no judgment). You're handling client onboarding docs, purchase requests, campaign copy reviews. The second that "New Submission" email hits, the real work begins: chasing down Karen from legal, reminding Dave for the third time this week, wondering why your CFO approves $5 coffee runs but sits on $50k invoices.
ApproveThis cuts through that noise like a chainsaw through spreadsheet hell. We don't just move paperwork - we automate the decision-making circus that happens after someone clicks "Submit." Pair that with NeetoForm's dead-simple data collection, and you've got something dangerous: actual process efficiency.
Why This Pairing Works Like Bourbon and Bad Decisions
NeetoForm's good at what it does - gathering clean data without making users want to stab their keyboards. But forms are just the starting pistol. ApproveThis handles the actual race:
For the Process Nerds
NeetoForm captures the "what." ApproveThis manages the "who, when, and how the hell." Together, they handle:
- Auto-routing submissions based on amount, department, or 20+ other triggers
- Enforcing approval chains that actually match your org chart
- Killing the "I didn't see the email" excuse with tracked decisions
License-Free Approvals (Your Finance Team Will High-Five You)
Here's the kicker: approvers don't need NeetoForm logins. Clients, vendors, that exec who refuses to learn new tools - they approve via email. You control access without buying seats for every part-time approver.
Real-World Use Cases That Don't Suck
Marketing Teams: Client Content Reviews That Don't Require Xanax
Scenario: Agency uses NeetoForm for client copy submissions. Old way: Email threads with 12 "Final_Final_v3" attachments. New way:
1. Client submits via NeetoForm
2. Zapier triggers ApproveThis workflow
3. Creative director + legal auto-notified
4. Approvals happen in Slack/email
5. Approved? Auto-uploads to CMS. Denied? Client gets specific feedback.
Bonus: Calculated fields auto-flag projects missing compliance sections.
Operations: Purchase Requests That Respect the Chain of Command
Manufacturer example: Floor manager submits equipment request via NeetoForm. ApproveThis:
- Routes <$1k to dept head
- $1k-$5k requires CFO + facilities
- >$5k escalates to COO with full audit trail
Vacation delegate? Automatically shifts to backup approvers. No more "Sorry, out of office" bottlenecks.
HR: New Hire Paperwork That Doesn't Haunt Your Dreams
Candidate completes NeetoForm I9 docs. Workflow:
1. HR pre-approves
2. Legal checks visa status
3. Hiring manager confirms start date
All parties get due dates. Miss a step? Auto-reminders. Approved? Welcome email triggers same day.
Setting This Up Without Losing Your Mind
We're talking 15 minutes, not 15 sprints:
- Zapier Hookup: Create your Zap - NeetoForm "New Submission" trigger → ApproveThis "Create Request" action
- Field Mapping: Drag-and-drop form fields into ApproveThis (amounts, departments, custom notes)
- Workflow Rules: Set thresholds/approvers once. Example: "All IT requests >$5k need CTO + CFO"
- Test Drive: Submit dummy form. Confirm approvals fire correctly. Pop champagne.
Pro Tip: Use ApproveThis' calculated fields to auto-add processing fees or tax to NeetoForm numbers before approval.
Why This Isn't Just Another "Integration"
Most tool pairings just shuffle data. This actually changes behavior:
For Leadership
Finally get real metrics on approval bottlenecks. That VP causing 3-day delays? The data doesn't lie.
For Finance
Auto-flag duplicate submissions. Require PO cross-references. Make auditors actually smile.
For External Partners
Clients/vendors approve via email without portal logins. Looks pro. Saves 100+ "Can you resend the link?" tickets.
Cool Features You'll Actually Use
Beyond the basics, these matter when shit hits the fan:
Escalation Protocols
Approver ghosts for 48hrs? Auto-route to their boss. Add snarky comment optional.
Conditional Fields
NeetoForm asks "Project Type." ApproveThis shows different approvers for "Internal" vs "Client".
Mobile Denials
Reject a request from your phone with required feedback. No more vague "Needs changes" replies.
When to Use This vs. Going Solo
NeetoForm's approval module works for simple "Yes/No" needs. But if you have:
- Multiple departments involved
- Compliance requirements
- Amount-based rules
- External approvers
- Audit trails that would make a lawyer blush
...then the Zapier combo pays for itself in avoided migraines.
Bottom Line
Companies between 50-5k employees aren't paying people to chase approvals. NeetoForm + ApproveThis via Zapier turns "Did you get my thing?" into "Thing approved. Next."
Either keep doing approval janitor work, or register for ApproveThis and connect your NeetoForm account in the time it takes to drink a cold brew.
