ApproveThis manages your Dromo Integration approvals.

Why Approval Automation Matters

Businesses using spreadsheet-based data imports face a critical challenge: manual approval processes create delays that ripple through finance, operations, and client services. Dromo's CSV/spreadsheet automation solves half the problem by streamlining data ingestion - but what happens when human decisions are required? This is where ApproveThis transforms workflows through Zapier-powered integrations that maintain momentum while adding governance.

ApproveThis + Dromo: Complementary Strengths

Dromo specializes in converting raw spreadsheet data into structured formats through embeddable import tools. ApproveThis adds decision-making guardrails without slowing down operations. Together through Zapier, they enable:

• Automatic approval triggers for flagged data imports
• Post-approval data processing without manual handoffs

Example: An e-commerce company uses Dromo to process supplier inventory CSVs. When unit costs exceed purchasing thresholds, ApproveThis automatically routes the file to department heads via email - approvers don't need Dromo access, simplifying collaboration with external vendors.

Three Workflows That Deliver Immediate ROI

1. Import Error Resolution

The Problem: Failed CSV imports often require cross-team review, creating ticket backlogs.
The Solution: Dromo's "Import Needs Review" trigger creates ApproveThis requests with error details, routing to technical and business stakeholders.
Who Benefits: IT teams reduce context-switching; department managers maintain visibility without attending technical scrums.

2. Post-Approval Data Processing

The Problem: Approved spreadsheets get stuck in email threads before being actioned.
The Solution: Approved requests in ApproveThis automatically trigger Dromo headless imports via Zapier.
Real-World Impact: A financial services firm reduced invoice processing time by 62% by connecting approved vendor CSVs directly to their ERP system.

3. Compliance-Driven Validation

The Problem: Regulated industries require audit trails for data changes.
The Solution: Completed Dromo imports trigger ApproveThis requests for compliance team sign-off, with full version history.
Key Feature: ApproveThis' calculated fields can auto-approve low-risk changes while flagging high-value transactions.

Implementation Made Simple

Step 1: Create a Zapier account (free tier available)
Step 2: Connect Dromo and ApproveThis as Zapier services
Step 3: Choose trigger/action pairs from these options:

Dromo Triggers:
- New import requiring review
- Completed import file ready
ApproveThis Actions:
- Create approval request
- Update request status

Pro Tip: Use ApproveThis' conditional thresholds to auto-approve routine imports (e.g., under $10K) while flagging exceptions.

Department-Specific Benefits

Finance Teams

Automate PO approvals tied to imported vendor quotes. ApproveThis' monetary thresholds ensure compliance while vacation delegation prevents holiday delays.

Operations Managers

Connect inventory CSV approvals to production schedules. Real-time tracking in ApproveThis dashboards replaces status update meetings.

IT Departments

Reduce support tickets for failed imports with automated routing to data owners. Approval groups allow tiered escalation paths.

Why This Integration Works

Dromo users often overlook approval bottlenecks because:

• Spreadsheet tools lack native governance features
• Existing approval methods (email, chats) aren't audit-ready

ApproveThis solves this through:

Email-Based Approvals: External partners can review Dromo imports without platform access
Audit Trails: Every decision is timestamped with rationale for compliance reports
Conditional Logic: Auto-approve routine imports while flagging exceptions

For complex workflows: Book a demo to see how calculated fields and approval groups can be customized for your industry.

Final Considerations

Do:
- Start with one high-impact workflow (e.g., vendor invoice approvals)
- Use email approvals for external partners
Don't:
- Overcomplicate initial automations
- Ignore ApproveThis' built-in analytics for process tuning

The integration works best when treating approvals as part of the data lifecycle rather than a separate process. By embedding governance directly into Dromo workflows through ApproveThis, companies achieve faster cycle times without sacrificing control.
