ApproveThis manages your Tolq Integration approvals.

Why Approval Automation Matters for Global Teams

When Tolq's translation engine meets ApproveThis' workflow automation, businesses gain precision control over multilingual content. This integration solves a critical challenge: maintaining quality and compliance across languages without creating bottlenecks. For e-commerce teams launching products in 12 markets or support teams localizing knowledge bases, automated approval chains turn weeks of email threads into structured processes.

How It Works

Through Zapier, Tolq and ApproveThis exchange data in both directions. When translations hit key milestones, ApproveThis triggers quality checks. When approvals require localization, Tolq springs into action. The magic lies in three capabilities:

• Bidirectional triggers - Start translations from approval requests or kick off approvals from completed translations
• License-free reviews - External stakeholders approve translations via email without Tolq logins

Real-World Use Cases

1. Quality-Assured Product Launches

An outdoor gear company uses Tolq to translate product specs into 8 languages. Their Zapier integration with ApproveThis automatically routes German translations to regional managers for review before publishing. If a manager rejects the translation, it loops back to Tolq's system with specific notes - all without leaving ApproveThis.

Key feature: Approval thresholds auto-approve minor changes (<$500 localization costs) but escalate major revisions.

2. Marketing Campaign Synchronization

A travel agency's marketing team approves campaign concepts in ApproveThis. Once greenlit, Zapier triggers Tolq to translate assets into target languages. The translated content then returns to ApproveThis for final legal review by external counsel - who only needs email access to approve/deny.

Hidden advantage: Vacation delegation ensures substitute approvers are auto-assigned during seasonal peaks.

Technical Setup Made Simple

Connect Tolq and ApproveThis in 4 steps:

1. Create a Zapier account
2. Choose your trigger (Tolq completion or ApproveThis request)
3. Map critical fields: Project IDs, content URLs, approval deadlines
4. Test with a live translation request

Pro tip: Use ApproveThis' calculated fields to auto-calculate localization costs based on Tolq's word count metrics.

Department-Specific Benefits

Marketing Teams

Global campaign managers reduce time-to-market by 40% using parallel approval paths. While Tolq handles French/Spanish translations, ApproveThis simultaneously routes legal and brand compliance checks.

Operations Teams

Procurement leads automate purchase order approvals for translation services. When Tolq projects exceed $5k, ApproveThis auto-escalates to senior directors with cost breakdowns.

Customer Support

Knowledge base translations get real-time tracking. Support managers see which help articles are pending approval across languages, with automated reminders for overdue reviews.

When to Consider This Integration

This combination delivers maximum value for:

• Businesses managing 5+ language markets
• Teams with external translation partners
• Industries requiring legal/compliance reviews (healthcare, finance)

A mid-sized SaaS company reduced translation errors by 62% after implementing approval gates for UI copy changes.

Beyond Basic Approvals

While Tolq excels at translation management, ApproveThis adds contextual governance:

Example: A German e-commerce retailer uses conditional logic to route technical translations to engineering leads while marketing copy goes to brand managers - all within the same Tolq project.

Cost control: Auto-reject translation requests that exceed budget thresholds, with immediate notifications in Tolq.

Common Pitfalls to Avoid

• Don't map all Tolq fields to ApproveThis - focus on critical decision data
• Do set up approval delegation before holiday seasons
• Don't forget to sync deadline fields between systems

An enterprise client initially missed 23% of deadlines due to timezone mismatches between systems - easily fixed with ApproveThis' timezone-aware reminders.

The Bottom Line

In global business, translation speed means revenue. Approval bottlenecks mean risk. By connecting Tolq's localization power with ApproveThis' governance engine through Zapier, enterprises finally achieve both velocity and control. It's not about doing more approvals - it's about doing the right approvals faster.

As one localization director put it: "We now handle 3x the languages with half the approval staff." While we can't share client names, we can show you how they did it.
