ApproveThis manages your Leiga Integration approvals.

Two Tools, One Goal: Accelerating Decisions

Modern teams face a universal challenge: moving fast without breaking things. Leiga provides the structure to track issues and collaborate effectively, while ApproveThis adds the guardrails to ensure critical decisions get made with accountability. Together, they create a system where progress isn’t stalled by approval bottlenecks, and nothing falls through the cracks.

Why This Integration Matters for Business

Leiga excels at organizing tasks, but complex issues often require stakeholder input. ApproveThis bridges the gap between action and authorization. For example, a high-priority bug fix in Leiga might need CTO sign-off before deployment. With Zapier, teams can automatically route these requests for approval without switching tools. The result? Projects move forward 2-3x faster, with full audit trails.

Key Benefits Across Teams

Project Managers: Track approval status alongside issues in Leiga, eliminating status update meetings. Developers: Trigger code deployment approvals directly from critical bug reports. Client Services: Route client-requested changes through external approvers without granting Leiga access. This last point is crucial – ApproveThis lets external stakeholders vote via email, avoiding costly license fees for infrequent users.

Real-World Use Cases (Beyond Theory)

1. Escalating Critical Issues

A cybersecurity firm tags high-risk vulnerabilities in Leiga as “Severity 1.” Their Zapier integration automatically routes these to the Chief Information Security Officer via ApproveThis, triggering SMS alerts if not addressed within 2 hours. The CTO’s team reduced incident response time by 40% last quarter using this method.

2. Client Change Requests

Marketing agencies love this combo: when a client submits a website edit in Leiga, ApproveThis sends the request to both the creative director (for feasibility) and the account manager (for budget check). Since approvers only need email, clients can even participate without training.

3. Compliance-Driven Workflows

Healthcare providers use Leiga to track patient portal updates. Any modification to PHI fields triggers an ApproveThis workflow requiring HIPAA compliance officer review. Denied requests automatically create follow-up Leiga issues for the legal team.

Setting Up the Integration: A 10-Minute Guide

Zapier acts as the glue here. Start by connecting both apps to your Zapier account. For the “New Issue → Approval Request” flow:

1. Choose Leiga’s “New Issue” trigger
2. Map critical fields (title, priority, due date) to ApproveThis
3. Set approval rules: Use ApproveThis’ calculated fields to auto-approve low-risk items or require consensus for high-cost tasks

Pro Tip: Enable ApproveThis’ vacation delegation before launch. This prevents delays when approvers are OOO – requests automatically reroute to their deputy.

Features That Make This Pair Shine

While the integration works out-of-the-box, savvy teams leverage these advanced capabilities:

• Conditional Thresholds: Auto-approve Leiga issues under $500, but require CFO review above that
• Real-Time Dashboards: Track pending approvals in ApproveThis alongside Leiga’s issue burn-down charts
• Dynamic Routing: Send UX-related issues to the design lead, backend bugs to engineering directors

Who Benefits Most? Team-Specific Wins

Product Teams

QA engineers tag regression bugs in Leiga, which auto-request approvals from product managers. PMs assess priority against the roadmap without leaving their inbox. Approved items instantly populate the next sprint.

Operations Teams

Facility requests (broken AC, security upgrades) in Leiga get routed based on location and cost. The COO’s team cut vendor costs by 18% using approval analytics to identify wasteful spend.

Enterprise Sales

Custom pricing requests logged in Leiga require approvals from both Sales VP and Legal. The process that once took 3 days now happens in 3 hours, accelerating deal closure.

Common Pitfalls to Avoid

Even powerful tools need smart configuration. Don’t:

• Over-automate – keep manual reviews for edge cases
• Ignore field mapping – mismatched data causes rejections
• Forget SLA settings – urgent issues need shorter approval windows

The Bottom Line: Speed Meets Control

Leiga users already track work effectively; adding ApproveThis brings governance without gridlock. Development teams ship faster with executive alignment. Support teams resolve client issues with proper oversight. Finance teams prevent budget overruns while empowering managers.
