ApproveThis manages your Elfsight Integration approvals.

Why Combine ApproveThis with Elfsight?

Elfsight's forms collect critical data – customer inquiries, vendor applications, or internal requests. But what happens after submission? Manual follow-ups, email chains, and delayed decisions create bottlenecks. ApproveThis eliminates this friction by adding structured approval workflows to every form submission through Zapier. Together, they turn static forms into decision-making engines.

Consider a contractor submitting a project bid via your Elfsight form. With this integration, the submission automatically triggers a multi-level approval process in ApproveThis – involving project managers, finance teams, and external partners – all without leaving your existing tools. Decisions happen faster, stakeholders stay aligned, and nothing falls through the cracks.

Key Integration Benefits

For Marketing Teams

Approval workflows for campaign assets often stall creative output. When a designer submits a new ad concept through an Elfsight form, ApproveThis can route it to legal, brand managers, and external agencies. Email-based approvals mean stakeholders don’t need logins – they simply review and click “Approve” from their inbox. Campaigns launch 40% faster according to similar implementations.

For Operations Managers

Vendor onboarding forms become self-service portals. Submissions trigger approval chains with conditional routing – purchases under $5k auto-approve, larger contracts escalate to department heads. Vacation delegation ensures no single approver becomes a bottleneck during holidays.

For HR Departments

Employee relocation requests submitted via Elfsight automatically calculate estimated costs using ApproveThis’ calculated fields. If expenses exceed budget thresholds, requests route to CFO-level approval. Real-time dashboards show pending requests, preventing payroll surprises.

Implementation Scenarios

Client Onboarding Acceleration

A digital agency uses Elfsight to collect client project briefs. Their Zapier integration:

1. Triggers when Elfsight receives a new client questionnaire
2. Creates an ApproveThis request with mapped fields (budget, timeline, scope)

The approval workflow:

• Auto-approves projects under $10k using thresholds
• Routes mid-size projects to department leads
• Flags enterprise deals for executive review

Result: 68% faster client onboarding with full audit trails.

Regulatory Compliance Made Simple

Healthcare providers using Elfsight for patient intake forms combine calculated fields with multi-step approvals. If a patient’s medical history indicates high-risk treatment, ApproveThis automatically adds specialist reviewers. Compliance teams gain real-time visibility without manual oversight.

Technical Setup Guide

Step 1: Create a Zapier account if you don’t have one

Step 2: Choose “Elfsight” as trigger app → Select “New Form Submission”

Step 3: Connect ApproveThis as action app → Choose “Create Request”

Pro Tip: Map Elfsight form fields to ApproveThis’ dynamic fields – budget amounts to approval thresholds, client emails to automatic notifications.

Critical Features in Action

Email Approvals Break Down Silos

External vendors approving purchase orders via Elfsight submissions don’t need ApproveThis licenses. They receive email notifications with one-click approval buttons, maintaining security without access hassles.

Calculated Fields Automate Decisions

An architecture firm embeds calculation rules into their project request form approvals:

IF [Project Duration] > 90 days → Add CFO approval
IF [Materials Cost] exceeds [Budget] by 15% → Flag for review

These rules auto-populate based on Elfsight form data, eliminating manual assessment.

Industry-Specific Applications

Nonprofits & Grant Approvals

Donation forms with custom amounts trigger tiered approvals – under $1k auto-approved by the system, larger sums require board member consensus. ApproveThis’ audit trails simplify year-end reporting.

Manufacturing & Supply Chain

Supplier quality check forms submitted via Elfsight initiate parallel approvals in ApproveThis – production managers verify specs while procurement confirms costs. Real-time status updates prevent production delays.

Overcoming Common Challenges

Approver Availability

With ApproveThis’ vacation delegation, approvers out of office automatically reassign tasks. Combined with Elfsight’s submission tracking, urgent requests never stall waiting for unavailable staff.

Version Control

When Elfsight form updates occur, ApproveThis templates sync automatically through Zapier. Marketing teams updating campaign brief forms don’t need to rebuild approval workflows from scratch.

Strategic Advantages

Companies using both platforms report:

“83% faster decision cycles on customer proposals”
“62% reduction in approval-related email traffic”
“Full audit compliance with zero additional overhead”

The integration turns form submissions into actionable workflows – not just data points.

Getting Started

Begin with simple approval chains, then expand as teams adapt:

1. Connect your most-used Elfsight form to a single-step approval
2. Add conditional logic for high-priority submissions
3. Implement calculated fields for automated routing

Approvers need no training – they’ll receive clean, contextual approval requests via email with all necessary data from the original Elfsight submission.

Final Thoughts

Elfsight captures opportunities; ApproveThis converts them into action. By connecting these platforms through Zapier, businesses remove the lag between data collection and decision execution. Whether you’re managing client contracts, internal requests, or vendor partnerships, this integration provides the structure needed to move fast without losing control.
