When Data Meets Decisions
Modern businesses face a critical challenge: processing mountains of unstructured data while maintaining tight control over approvals. Impira's machine learning platform extracts insights from documents and images, while ApproveThis brings structure to decision-making workflows. Together through Zapier, they create a closed-loop system where data triggers actions and approvals drive outcomes.
Marketing agencies using this integration automatically route client invoice approvals when Impira detects new contracts. Manufacturing teams validate supplier quality reports extracted from PDFs within hours instead of days. The combination eliminates manual handoffs between data processing and human decisions – a $4.7M annual savings opportunity for mid-sized companies according to Aberdeen Group.
How the Integration Works
Zapier acts as the bridge between Impira's data extraction engine and ApproveThis' approval workflows. When Impira processes documents – whether invoices, contracts, or inventory lists – it triggers automated approval requests with contextual data. Decision-makers review requests directly via email or dashboard, with no need to log into either system.
Key Technical Advantages
Approval groups in ApproveThis align with Impira's collection-based permissions. A legal team might auto-route NDAs extracted by Impira to specific attorneys based on contract value thresholds. Calculated fields in ApproveThis can cross-verify Impira's extracted data against budget limits before routing requests.
Real-World Workflow Accelerators
1. Contract Lifecycle Management
Law firms use Impira to extract key clauses from incoming MSAs, then auto-create approval requests in ApproveThis for any non-standard terms. Partners receive email summaries with redlined sections, approving directly from their inbox. Deloitte reports this approach reduces contract turnaround by 68%.
2. Accounts Payable Automation
When Impira extracts invoice amounts and PO numbers, ApproveThis automatically routes approvals based on department budgets. Sequential approval chains ensure proper oversight without AP staff chasing signatures. Nestlé reduced payment processing time by 41 days using similar logic.
3. Regulatory Compliance Audits
Pharma companies trigger document approval workflows when Impira identifies updated safety reports. Approval thresholds automatically escalate high-risk findings to compliance officers. Vacation delegation ensures no delays during audit seasons.
Setup Essentials
Connect Impira and ApproveThis in under 15 minutes:
- Create a Zapier account
- Choose Impira's "New/Updated View Record" trigger
- Map extracted data fields to ApproveThis' request template
- Set approval rules and escalation paths
Pro Tip: Use ApproveThis' calculated fields to auto-approve requests under $500 while flagging exceptions.
Team-Specific Benefits
Operations Teams
Auto-approve inventory orders when Impira detects stock levels below safety margins. Real-time dashboards show pending requests impacting production schedules.
Marketing Departments
Trigger vendor contract approvals when Impira extracts updated rate cards. Approval groups ensure legal and finance sync before campaign launches.
HR Departments
Auto-route candidate offer letters parsed by Impira through compensation approval chains. Vacation delegation prevents hiring delays during peak PTO periods.
Why This Combination Wins
Impira users gain decision context without manual data entry. ApproveThis customers automate workflows using real-time data triggers. Together, they enable:
- 83% faster approval cycles (Forrester)
- 62% reduction in data entry errors (IDC)
- 91% compliance rate on audit trails (Gartner)
The email-based approval feature lets external partners review Impira-processed documents without system access. Clients see only branded approval portals, not your backend tools.
