ApproveThis manages your eSignAnyWhere Integration approvals.

Why Combine ApproveThis and eSignAnyWhere?

Approval processes and document signing are two sides of the same coin in modern business operations. ApproveThis specializes in structuring decision-making workflows, while eSignAnyWhere accelerates legally binding agreements. When connected via Zapier, these platforms create a seamless bridge between internal governance and external execution.

Consider a contract renewal process: Legal teams need multiple stakeholders to approve terms before obtaining signatures from vendors. Without automation, this becomes a game of email tennis. With ApproveThis handling tiered approvals and eSignAnyWhere managing signatures, businesses reduce cycle times by 40-60% while maintaining audit trails.

Key Integration Benefits

This integration eliminates three critical friction points:

• Context Switching: Teams no longer juggle between approval portals and signing platforms
• Version Control: Automatically route final documents for signature after approvals
• Compliance: Maintain synchronized records of who approved what, and when signatures occurred

Approvers in ApproveThis don’t need eSignAnyWhere licenses to review documents, making this ideal for collaborating with external partners. A procurement team could have vendors sign NDAs after internal legal approval – all without granting third parties access to core systems.

Real-World Use Cases

1. Post-Signature Approvals for High-Stakes Documents

Thematic Focus: Compliance assurance
Technical Flow: eSignAnyWhere’s "Envelope Completed" trigger → ApproveThis approval request
Business Example: A healthcare provider automatically routes signed patient consent forms to compliance officers for final verification before medical procedures. This ensures regulatory adherence while preventing treatment delays.

2. Pre-Signature Document Preparation

Thematic Focus: Process acceleration
Technical Flow: ApproveThis "New Request" trigger → eSignAnyWhere draft creation
Business Example: A real estate firm starts preparing purchase agreement drafts in eSignAnyWhere the moment internal stakeholders approve a sale price. Brokers gain 2-3 business days in closing timelines.

3. Approval-Driven Signature Requests

Thematic Focus: Permission-based execution
Technical Flow: ApproveThis request approval → eSignAnyWhere envelope sending
Business Example: Marketing agencies require client approval on campaign budgets before sending SOWs for signature. This integration prevents unauthorized commitments and scope creep.

4. Post-Approval Documentation

Thematic Focus: Record synchronization
Technical Flow: ApproveThis decision → eSignAnyWhere draft creation
Business Example: Finance teams generate archived copies of approved expense reports with digital signatures, creating airtight audit trails for quarterly reviews.

Team-Specific Advantages

Legal Departments

Reduce contract turnaround from weeks to days by pairing ApproveThis’ conditional approval logic (e.g., auto-escalating high-value contracts to the General Counsel) with eSignAnyWhere’s bulk sending capabilities.

Procurement Teams

Enforce spending thresholds using ApproveThis’ calculated fields – automatically route purchase agreements for signature only after dollar amounts receive proper approvals.

HR Operations

Coordinate offer letter approvals with new hire signatures. Vacation delegation ensures approvals continue uninterrupted during manager PTO.

Implementation Guide

Step 1: Create a Zapier account if you don’t have one
Step 2: Connect ApproveThis and eSignAnyWhere to Zapier
Step 3: Choose your trigger event (e.g., "Envelope Completed" in eSignAnyWhere)
Step 4: Set corresponding action (e.g., "Create Request" in ApproveThis)
Step 5: Map critical data fields between systems
Step 6: Test with non-critical documents before full deployment

Advanced Configuration Tips

Leverage ApproveThis’ calculated fields to automate decisions:
• Auto-approve contracts under $10K with CFO notification
• Require dual signatures for documents exceeding 50 pages
Combine with eSignAnyWhere’s template library to maintain brand consistency across approved documents.

Cost Efficiency Note

Since external approvers only need ApproveThis access (not full eSignAnyWhere licenses), companies save 25-35% on external user costs compared to native eSignature approval modules.

Final Recommendations

Start with one high-impact workflow – typically contract approvals – before expanding to other use cases. Monitor ApproveThis’ real-time dashboard during the first 30 days to identify bottlenecks.
