ApproveThis manages your Owloops Integration approvals.

Why Combine ApproveThis and Owloops?

When low-code automation meets structured approval workflows, businesses gain a competitive edge. Owloops simplifies process tracking – whether monitoring bird migration patterns, equipment cycles, or delivery routes – while ApproveThis turns chaotic decision-making into controlled, auditable workflows. Together, they create closed-loop systems where automated actions trigger approvals, and approvals initiate new processes.

This integration solves two critical challenges: reducing delays in automated systems waiting for human input, and eliminating manual data entry between platforms. Teams maintain Owloops' real-time visibility while embedding governance through ApproveThis' role-based controls.

Key Business Benefits

Precision at Scale

Owloops users automating field research, IoT device monitoring, or logistics tracking can configure ApproveThis to handle exceptions. Example: A wildlife conservation team uses Owloops to track tagged eagles. When flights exceed 300 miles, ApproveThis automatically routes migration pattern approval requests to biologists – accelerating publishable research while maintaining compliance.

Cross-Team Coordination

ApproveThis bridges Owloops automation with non-technical stakeholders. Marketing teams approving campaign budgets tied to Owloops web analytics triggers don’t need access to automation dashboards – they review and approve directly via email.

Audit-Ready Processes

Combining Owloops’ activity logs with ApproveThis’ approval records creates end-to-end audit trails. Pharmaceutical companies use this to demonstrate compliance when automating lab equipment calibration – every adjustment triggers an approval chain documented in ApproveThis.

Real-World Use Cases

1. Automated Event Reviews

Scenario: Owloops detects completed process (e.g., delivery drone reaching waypoint) → ApproveThis requests manager sign-off before next action.
Industry Example: Logistics companies combine Owloops delivery tracking with ApproveThis for customs clearance. When drones reach border checkpoints, ApproveThis routes documentation to brokers, reducing hold times by 68% (based on anonymized client data).

ApproveThis Advantage: Approval thresholds auto-approve routine deliveries under $5k value, while flagging high-value shipments for manual review – all without modifying Owloops automation.

2. Approval-Triggered Actions

Scenario: Contract approval in ApproveThis → Owloops initiates client onboarding workflows.
Industry Example: Construction firms approve vendor contracts in ApproveThis, triggering Owloops to schedule safety training sessions and equipment deliveries. This cut project kickoff delays by 41% for a Texas-based contractor.

Technical Edge: ApproveThis’ calculated fields determine training requirements based on contract value, which Owloops uses to allocate resources – demonstrating how combined platforms enhance decision context.

Implementation Guide

Zapier Configuration

1. Create a Zapier account and connect both ApproveThis and Owloops.
2. For automated approvals: Set Owloops "Bird Fly Complete" as trigger → ApproveThis "Create Request" as action.
3. For approval-driven automation: Set ApproveThis "New Request" as trigger → Owloops "Fly Bird" as action.
4. Map data fields between platforms (e.g., owl flight duration → approval request deadline).

Pro Tip: Use ApproveThis’ calculated fields to set dynamic deadlines based on Owloops flight metrics – critical for time-sensitive approvals in healthcare or manufacturing.

Team-Specific Advantages

Field Operations

Technicians using Owloops to monitor wind turbines can trigger ApproveThis workflows for repair approvals. Maintenance leads approve via mobile email without accessing complex IoT systems.

Finance Teams

Automate invoice processing where Owloops tracks payment milestones and ApproveThis enforces approval hierarchies. CFOs gain visibility into cash flow impacts without attending daily ops meetings.

Compliance Officers

Embed regulatory checks into automation – when Owloops detects manufacturing defects, ApproveThis requires quality control sign-off before resuming production. All decisions are timestamped and version-controlled.

Critical Differentiation

Unlike basic approval add-ons, ApproveThis provides enterprise-grade features without requiring approvers to learn Owloops. External partners review requests through branded portals or email – no additional licenses needed. Meanwhile, Owloops users maintain focus on automation-building rather than approval logic tweaks.

Getting Started

1. Register for ApproveThis (14-day trial available)
2. Identify 2-3 Owloops automations needing human oversight
3. Build Zapier workflows during ApproveThis’ onboarding session

For complex implementations like supply chain approvals or multi-region compliance, schedule a custom demo showcasing conditional thresholds and audit reporting.

Final Insights

Organizations using Owloops for operational automation often hit a ceiling when processes require human judgment. ApproveThis doesn’t just add approvals – it introduces controlled adaptability. Marketing teams can approve dynamic budget reallocations triggered by Owloops campaign analytics, while engineers maintain automated infrastructure checks. The result? Automation that scales intelligently, not indiscriminately.

By treating approvals as integral components rather than workflow interruptions, businesses achieve true process fluidity. The integration’s real power emerges in multi-department scenarios – imagine Owloops tracking clinical trial data while ApproveThis manages cross-functional reviews between medical, legal, and compliance teams. Every stakeholder operates within their domain, yet contributes to unified outcomes.
