Why ApproveThis and Ardary-SMS Work Better Together
Businesses thrive when decisions move quickly and communication stays clear. But manual approval processes and disjointed messaging tools often create bottlenecks. ApproveThis, an approval workflow automation platform, and Ardary-SMS, a global SMS communication tool, solve these challenges when integrated through Zapier. Together, they create a seamless bridge between critical decisions and instant communication.
ApproveThis brings structure to approvals with customizable workflows, automated routing, and real-time tracking. Ardary-SMS cuts through email clutter by delivering urgent updates directly to phones. When connected, these platforms enable scenarios like automatically pausing an SMS campaign until stakeholders approve it or sending SMS alerts the moment a budget request gets greenlit. Teams save hours otherwise spent chasing signatures or forwarding emails, while managers gain visibility into every step.
How They Complement Each Other
ApproveThis Strengths
ApproveThis excels at managing multi-layered approval processes. Its role-based workflows, conditional logic, and delegation features ensure requests always reach the right person—even if someone’s on vacation. Approval thresholds automatically approve routine requests (like small expenses) while escalating exceptions. Real-time dashboards show exactly where every request stands.
Ardary-SMS Advantages
Ardary-SMS specializes in immediate, reliable communication. It sends SMS messages globally without requiring recipients to download an app or check email. This makes it ideal for time-sensitive alerts, client notifications, or internal updates where instant delivery matters.
The Combined Effect
Linking these tools through Zapier creates a closed-loop system. ApproveThis becomes the control center for decisions, while Ardary-SMS acts as the instant messenger for updates. For example, when a sales rep submits a discount request via ApproveThis, Ardary-SMS can notify the finance team immediately. Once approved, another SMS informs the rep to close the deal—all without manual follow-ups.
Real-World Use Cases
1. Marketing Campaign Approvals
Marketing teams often need legal or executive sign-off on promotional SMS blasts. With this integration:
- Draft messages in Ardary-SMS trigger approval requests in ApproveThis
- Legal teams review compliance directly from email (no login required)
- Approved messages deploy automatically; rejected ones alert marketers to revise
A retail company used this flow to reduce campaign launch times from 3 days to 4 hours by eliminating email chains between marketing and compliance teams.
2. HR Offer Letter Notifications
HR departments can automate offer letter approvals while keeping candidates informed:
- New hire details in Ardary-SMS create an ApproveThis request for HR leadership
- Once approved, Ardary-SMS sends the offer via text with a signing link
- If denied, recruiters get an SMS to explore other candidates
A tech startup reported 40% faster hiring cycles after implementing this workflow, as approvers could review requests during commutes via mobile-friendly emails.
3. Field Service Escalations
Service teams use this integration to handle urgent client requests:
When a field technician texts an unusual repair cost via Ardary-SMS, ApproveThis:
- Routes the request to regional managers based on amount thresholds
- Sends daily SMS reminders until approved
- Auto-updates the technician and client once resolved
A HVAC company using this method reduced client wait times by 65% by replacing weekly approval meetings with real-time SMS updates.
Setup Made Simple
Connecting ApproveThis and Ardary-SMS takes 15 minutes using Zapier:
For Approval-Driven SMS (Example: Campaign Launch)
1. Trigger: New SMS draft in Ardary-SMS
2. Action: Create approval request in ApproveThis with message details
3. Condition: If approved, Ardary-SMS sends the message; if denied, notify creator
For Approval Alerts (Example: Budget Sign-Off)
1. Trigger: New request in ApproveThis
2. Action: Send SMS via Ardary-SMS to approvers
3. Update: ApproveThis logs responses and auto-archives completed requests
No coding needed—just map fields between apps during setup. Use ApproveThis’ calculated fields to auto-approve routine messages (like appointment reminders) while flagging high-cost or compliance-sensitive SMS for review.
Team-Specific Benefits
Marketing Teams
Accelerate campaign launches by replacing weekly approval meetings with automated workflows. Use approval thresholds to auto-approve messages under $5K while requiring CMO sign-off for larger spends. Real-time dashboards show exactly which campaigns are pending legal review versus ready to deploy.
HR Departments
Ensure offer letters, policy updates, and termination notices get proper oversight without slowing down processes. Approvers can review from any device via email, while candidates receive SMS updates the moment offers are approved. Vacation delegation prevents delays during holidays.
Finance Leaders
Maintain control over budget-impacting decisions while reducing administrative work. Set approval groups for multi-department purchases, with SMS alerts sent to all stakeholders. Integrate with existing accounting software via Zapier to auto-update records post-approval.
Operations Managers
Monitor service-level agreements (SLAs) with real-time tracking. If a vendor contract renewal sits unapproved for 48 hours, automatically SMS the responsible executive. Use historical data from ApproveThis dashboards to identify bottleneck departments.
Key Differentiators
What makes this integration stand out:
No Extra Licenses for Approvers: External clients or partner approvers don’t need Ardary-SMS accounts—they review via email. This keeps costs predictable while expanding collaboration possibilities.
Two-Way Automation: Unlike one-way notification systems, this integration allows action. Approvers can reject requests directly from SMS replies, triggering immediate updates in ApproveThis.
Contextual Decisions: Approval requests include dynamic fields showing SMS content, recipient lists, and cost estimates. Approvers have all data needed to decide without switching apps.
Getting Started
To implement this integration:
1. Sign up for ApproveThis (14-day free trial)
2. Create an Ardary-SMS account
3. Connect both to Zapier using their native integrations
4. Build your first Zap—start with a simple approval alert flow, then expand
For complex workflows, use ApproveThis’ calculated fields to auto-approve messages meeting criteria like known customer segments or pre-approved templates. Combine with Ardary-SMS’ delivery reports to build audit trails showing exactly when approved messages were sent.
The Bottom Line
ApproveThis and Ardary-SMS solve two critical business needs—structured decision-making and instant communication—in one integrated system. By automating approval workflows with SMS notifications, companies eliminate delays that frustrate teams and customers alike. Whether you’re managing global campaigns, urgent service requests, or sensitive HR communications, this combination ensures nothing falls through the cracks.
