ApproveThis manages your Hatch Apps Integration approvals.

When No-Code Meets No-Bottleneck

Hatch Apps empowers teams to build mobile apps, APIs, and databases without writing code. ApproveThis removes approval bottlenecks through automated workflows. Together through Zapier, they create an operational engine where custom apps trigger smart approval processes - accelerating development cycles while maintaining governance.

Marketing teams prototype customer-facing apps in hours instead of weeks. Operations teams automate change request reviews. Finance maintains control over budget thresholds. All while external clients and partners approve key decisions without needing access to internal systems.

Why This Integration Changes the Game

Traditional app development creates approval black holes. A marketing team waits three days for legal to review copy in a new app build. An operations manager chases department heads to sign off on workflow changes. These delays cost revenue and momentum.

The Hatch- ApproveThis integration via Zapier solves this through:

• Contextual approvals: Launch approval workflows directly from new app data entries, API calls, or database changes
• External collaboration: Clients approve app features or content via email without Hatch Apps licenses

A fitness startup used this combo to reduce feature launch cycles from 14 days to 72 hours. Their product team builds app updates in Hatch Apps, which auto-trigger ApproveThis workflows where department heads review specs. Legal approves terms through email links while marketing tests demo builds simultaneously.

Key Integration Features

From Build to Approval in One Workflow

When Hatch Apps detects new data (e.g., app update requests, API changes), Zapier automatically creates ApprovalThis requests with mapped fields. Approvers receive email notifications with:

- Direct approve/reject buttons
- Deadline reminders
- Auto-rerouting if unavailable

Approval thresholds let you set rules like "Auto-approve design changes under $500" or "Escalate all database schema changes to CTO."

Real-World Use Cases

1. Rapid Prototype Reviews (Marketing Teams)

A beverage company's marketing team uses Hatch Apps to build limited-release campaign apps. Each new prototype triggers an ApproveThis workflow where:
- Legal reviews compliance language
- Finance approves giveaway budgets
- Sales assesses lead capture forms

Using calculated fields, ApproveThis auto-approves contests under 500 participants while flagging larger campaigns for executive review. The team cut approval times by 60% while reducing compliance risks.

2. Change Management (IT/Operations)

An MSP company built a Hatch Apps portal where clients submit workflow change requests. Each submission creates an ApproveThis ticket that:
- Routes to assigned technicians
- Requires client email approval
- Updates the Hatch Apps database upon completion

Vacation delegation ensures no request stalls if primary approvers are out. Clients report 80% faster turnaround on critical changes.

Setup Guide: 3 Steps to Connect

Step 1: In Zapier, choose Hatch Apps' "API Data" trigger
Step 2: Map key data fields to ApproveThis' request form
Step 3: Set approval rules (thresholds, groups, etc.) in ApproveThis

Test with a sample Hatch Apps entry to ensure approvers receive correct notifications. Most teams complete setup in under 20 minutes.

Department-Specific Benefits

Marketing: Ship Faster, Stay Compliant

ApproveThis' email approvals let regional managers approve localized app content without Hatch Apps access. Dynamic fields automatically adjust deadlines for time zones.

Operations: Scale Without Chaos

Sequential approvals ensure infrastructure changes get proper oversight. When a Hatch Apps database entry flags a high-risk update, ApproveThis requires CIO signoff after engineering review.

Finance: Control Without Micromanaging

Auto-approve minor app update budgets under $1K while flagging outliers. Approval trails satisfy auditors without manual reporting.

Why This Pairing Works

Hatch Apps removes technical barriers to app development. ApproveThis removes organizational barriers to decision-making. Through Zapier, they create closed-loop processes where building triggers reviewing, and approvals trigger building.

A healthcare tech company illustrates this synergy: Their dev team uses Hatch Apps to push app updates daily. ApproveThis routes each update to compliance officers who must approve within 24 hours. Rejected requests auto-create Jira tickets via another Zap. This loop reduced compliance violations by 45% in Q1.
