ApproveThis manages your Monax Integration approvals.

When Contracts Meet Approvals

Modern businesses face a double challenge: contracts need precise legal wording while approvals require fast decision-making. Monax delivers smart contract management, while ApproveThis accelerates stakeholder sign-offs. Connected through Zapier, these platforms create a closed-loop system where contracts trigger approvals and approvals activate contractual obligations – all without manual handoffs.

Consider this: 68% of legal teams report delayed agreements due to approval bottlenecks (Gartner). By linking Monax's automated contracting with ApproveThis' structured workflows, companies reduce cycle times by 40-60% while maintaining compliance. Legal gets air-tight documents, operations keeps projects moving, and finance maintains budget control.

Why This Integration Matters

Monax excels at creating enforceable digital contracts but isn't built for multi-layer approvals. ApproveThis specializes in routing decisions but doesn't draft legal documents. Together, they cover the full lifecycle:

Key Connections

Contract → Approval: When Monax detects a new agreement event (e.g., contract renewal), ApproveThis automatically routes it to department heads for review.

Approval → Action: Once approved in ApproveThis, Monax instantly generates the final contract or triggers a compliance obligation.

Critical Advantages

• No duplicate data entry: Contract terms flow directly into approval requests
• External collaboration: Clients approve terms via email without needing Monax logins
• Enforceable audit trails: Every approval ties back to specific contract clauses

Real-World Workflows

1. Contract Event → Legal Approval

How it works: Monax detects a new agreement obligation (e.g., vendor payment clause). Zapier creates an ApproveThis request for the CFO's team. Upon approval, Monax releases payment per contract terms.

Who uses this:
• Manufacturing: Approve raw material purchases against supplier contracts
• Healthcare: Validate compliance with patient data agreements before sharing records

2. Approval → Contract Generation

How it works: Sales negotiates custom terms. ApproveThis routes the deal for legal review. Once approved, Monax auto-generates the final contract using pre-approved templates.

Who uses this:
• Enterprise Sales: Turn approved NDAs into binding docs in 15 minutes vs. 3 days
• Nonprofits: Convert grant approvals into compliant funding agreements

3. Approval → Obligation Completion

How it works: When ApproveThis confirms a project milestone approval, Monax automatically marks the related contractual obligation as fulfilled.

Who uses this:
• Construction: Link approved phase completions to contract payouts
• SaaS: Auto-fulfill SLA obligations upon uptime verification

Technical Setup Made Simple

Connecting Monax and ApproveThis takes under 20 minutes:

Step 1: Core Connection

1. Create a Zapier account
2. Choose "Monax" as trigger app
3. Select "ApproveThis" as action app

Step 2: Key Configurations

• Map Monax contract fields to ApproveThis request templates
• Set approval thresholds matching contract values (e.g., auto-approve under $10K)
• Enable email fallbacks for approvers without Monax access

Pro Tips

• Use ApproveThis' Calculated Fields to auto-determine approval paths based on contract amounts
• Activate Vacation Delegation to prevent contract delays during holidays
• Apply Conditional Logic to route high-risk contracts to legal first

Team-Specific Benefits

Legal Teams

Reduce non-compliant "rogue agreements" by ensuring all contracts route through approval workflows. Monax maintains version control while ApproveThis documents who approved exceptions.

Procurement

Auto-approve repeat orders under contract terms while flagging off-contract purchases. Real-time tracking prevents duplicate orders waiting for approvals.

Compliance Officers

Generate audit-ready reports showing contract obligations tied to specific approvals. Escalate high-risk items via ApproveThis' multi-tier workflows.

Finance

Link payment approvals directly to contractual due dates. Use Approval Thresholds to require CFO sign-off on contracts exceeding budget caps.

Beyond Basic Automation

While Zapier handles the initial connection, ApproveThis adds layers of control most approval tools lack:

Dynamic Escalations

If a Monax contract amendment exceeds $50K, ApproveThis can:
1. Require sequential approvals from legal → CFO → CEO
2. Auto-denied if not reviewed within 72 hours
3. Notify Monax to pause related obligations until resolved

Cross-Platform Visibility

Approvers see contract excerpts directly in approval requests via Calculated Fields. No need to jump between Monax and email – context stays embedded.

Client-Friendly Approvals

External partners approve contract changes via email without Monax licenses. ApproveThis tracks their decision while Monax enforces permissions on document access.

Getting Started

To implement these workflows:

1. Sign up for ApproveThis (14-day trial)
2. Connect your Monax account
3. Build your first Zap in under 10 minutes
