ApproveThis manages your SignWell Integration approvals.

When E-Signatures Meet Approval Automation

Let's cut to the chase: if your team's still chasing signatures via email chains or waiting weeks for contract approvals, you're leaving money on the table. ApproveThis and SignWell fix that by doing the heavy lifting where it matters – getting decisions made and documents signed without the bureaucratic circus.

Why This Combo Works for Grown-Up Companies

ApproveThis isn't just another approval tool – it's the traffic cop for your decision-making processes. SignWell's not just e-signatures; it's the finish line for getting binding agreements done. Together, they solve the "approval black hole" problem that plagues companies scaling past 50 employees.

The Nuts and Bolts

ApproveThis handles the messy part: getting the right people to say "yes" (or "no") fast. SignWell handles the compliance part: making those decisions legally airtight. Connect them through Zapier, and you've got an automated pipeline from initial request to signed document.

Real Scenarios Where This Actually Matters

1. Procurement Teams: No More "Where's My PO?"

Imagine your purchasing team gets a vendor contract signed in SignWell. With this integration, that signed doc automatically kicks off an approval workflow in ApproveThis for budget verification. Finance gets notified via email (no app login needed), approves directly from their inbox, and the PO gets generated. Procurement teams at manufacturing companies using this combo report cutting contract-to-PO time from 14 days to 48 hours.

2. HR's Onboarding Time Sink Solved

New hire offer letters signed in SignWell? Great. Now automatically route the signed doc through ApproveThis to trigger equipment requests, facility access approvals, and payroll setup – all before Day 1. Tech companies using this approach onboard remote employees 63% faster according to internal metrics (we'd tell you exact numbers, but then we'd have to bill you).

3. Legal Teams Avoiding Bottlenecks

When external counsel reviews an NDA in SignWell, ApproveThis can automatically escalate unanswered approvals after 48 hours. Legal departments at mid-market SaaS companies use this to reduce contract turnaround from "whenever the GC gets to it" to a predictable 3-day SLA.

Features You'll Actually Use (No Fluff)

ApproveThis brings the muscle where SignWell stops:

• Approval Thresholds: Auto-approve NDAs under $50K, but escalate anything above to the CFO. SignWell just sees the final yes/no.
• Delegated Approvals: Legal director on vacation? Requests automatically reroute to their deputy without touching SignWell permissions.
• Calculated Fields: Automatically flag contracts where the total value exceeds department budgets before routing for signature.

Who Benefits (Besides Your Sanity)

Operations Teams

Cut the back-and-forth on facility contracts. Get maintenance agreements signed in SignWell, then auto-route through ApproveThis for location manager approvals based on cost center budgets.

Sales Leaders

Deal desk approvals get attached directly to signed order forms. If a discount exceeds 20%, ApproveThis automatically requires VP sign-off before the final contract hits SignWell.

IT Managers

Software purchase agreements signed in SignWell trigger ApproveThis workflows for security reviews. No more shadow IT – just auditable approval chains attached to every vendor contract.

Setting This Up Without an IT Degree

Here's the playbook:

1. Connect both apps in Zapier (15 minutes max)
2. Pick your trigger: "Document Completed" in SignWell or "New Request" in ApproveThis
3. Map critical fields: Contract value → Approval threshold, Signer email → Approval group
4. Test with a low-stakes document (like office snack budget approval)

Pro Tip:

Use ApproveThis' calculated fields to auto-populate SignWell templates. Example: If approved budget is over $50K, append "Board Resolution Required" clause automatically.

The Cold Hard Benefits

Companies using both tools report:

• 79% faster approval-to-signature cycles (based on aggregated customer data)
• 43% reduction in "Where are we on this?" emails (because everything's trackable)
• 100% fewer auditors yelling at you (compliance trails are automatic)

Why This Isn't Just Another Integration

Most e-signature tools stop at "document signed." ApproveThis adds the critical layer of why it gets signed – the approvals, budget checks, and compliance verifications that actually make contracts valid. It's the difference between having a signature and having an executable agreement.

If you're managing more than 20 approval-related documents monthly, this isn't a "nice to have" – it's a "why are we still doing this manually?" moment. Book a 15-minute demo and we'll show how to set up your first automated approval → signature workflow while you finish your coffee.

Final Reality Check

ApproveThis doesn't replace SignWell – it makes sure every signature in SignWell actually means something. Because a signed document without proper approvals is just a PDF with a pretty scribble.
