Two Platforms, One Competitive Edge
Modern businesses face a critical challenge: maintaining speed without sacrificing oversight. ApproveThis and Vicodo solve this dilemma by combining airtight approval workflows with intelligent case management. Vicodo’s CRM-powered customer assistance platform tracks every client interaction, while ApproveThis ensures decisions happen fast – even when stakeholders are scattered across teams or organizations. Together, they turn fragmented processes into closed-loop systems where approvals trigger actions and cases demand accountability.
Where Vicodo Ends, ApproveThis Begins
Vicodo excels at managing client communications through video, live chat, and case tracking. But when cases require sign-offs – whether from internal leadership or external partners – gaps emerge. ApproveThis fills these gaps with dynamic approval rules that adapt to your hierarchy, dollar amounts, or compliance needs. Crucially, approvers only need email access, eliminating license costs for external participants. This handoff matters most for industries like legal services, healthcare, and agencies where client-facing teams can’t be bottlenecked by internal red tape.
Core Synergies
Consider a healthcare provider using Vicodo to manage patient discharge queries. With ApproveThis integrated, nurses could automatically request insurance approval signatures from case managers the moment a discharge case reaches specific criteria. The entire process would be auditable, with Vicodo documenting patient communications and ApproveThis timestamping each approval step.
Four Ways to Automate Accountability
1. Post-Case Quality Assurance
When Vicodo marks a support case as resolved, ApproveThis can require managerial review before closure. A marketing agency might use this to audit client campaign results: Vicodo tracks the strategist’s wrap-up notes, while ApproveThis routes the final deliverable to the account director. Approval thresholds could auto-approve small revisions but escalate major scope changes.
2. Client Message Escalation
Financial institutions leverage this when clients submit sensitive requests via Vicodo’s chat. A message containing “wire transfer” or “account closure” could trigger an ApproveThis workflow requiring two-factor authentication from compliance officers. Since ApproveThis integrates calculated fields, the system might automatically adjust approval tiers based on transaction amounts mentioned in the chat.
3. Case Creation from Denied Requests
Manufacturing procurement teams often face this scenario: a vendor contract gets rejected in ApproveThis due to pricing discrepancies. The integration could instantly create a Vicodo case assigned to the purchasing team, prompting renegotiation tracking. All related documents – the original request, rejection reason, and supplier emails – stay synced between platforms.
4. Approval-Backed Case Resolution
Law firms handling settlement agreements use this to prevent oversights. When a Vicodo case accumulates enough client approvals via email (handled by ApproveThis), paralegals automatically receive closure tasks. Sequential approval groups ensure partners review terms before junior staff finalize documentation.
Building the Bridge with Zapier
Connecting Vicodo and ApproveThis takes under 15 minutes through Zapier. Start by creating a Zapier account if you don’t have one. Then:
- Choose a trigger event from either Vicodo (e.g., “Case Completed”) or ApproveThis (“New Request Created”).
- Authenticate both apps using your existing Vicodo (vicodo.com) and ApproveThis (approvethis.com) credentials.
- Map data fields between platforms. For example, Vicodo’s case ID should append to ApproveThis’ request details for cross-referencing.
- Test with a live example – complete a Vicodo case to see if the approval request populates correctly.
Pro Tip: Use ApproveThis’ calculated fields to auto-set approval thresholds based on Vicodo data. If Vicodo cases are tagged with project budgets, for instance, approvals could route differently for amounts under $10K vs. six-figure sums.
Department-Specific Wins
Customer Support Teams
Reduce escalations by requiring team lead approvals for VIP client responses. ApproveThis’ vacation delegation ensures no request stalls if a supervisor is OOO.
Legal Departments
Automate NDA approval workflows when new client intake cases appear in Vicodo. Partner-level sign-offs happen via email, keeping associates focused on case prep.
Healthcare Administrators
Comply with joint commission standards by tying patient discharge approvals (ApproveThis) to Vicodo’s communication logs. Auditors see a unified trail from doctor’s order to family confirmations.
Marketing Agencies
Sync Vicodo’s client feedback cases with content approval workflows. A video edit request from Vicodo triggers ApproveThis routing to creative directors, with automated reminders if the deadline nears.
Why This Integration Outshines Custom Builds
Many teams cobble together approval processes using spreadsheets or Slack, losing valuable context. ApproveThis and Vicodo maintain a chain of custody for decisions. Legal teams, for instance, gain defensible records showing exactly which partner approved a contract clause and when. Meanwhile, Vicodo’s video call logs prove clients confirmed understanding – critical in regulated industries.
Unlike all-in-one platforms, this integration lets you upgrade components separately. Adopt Vicodo’s new AI chat summaries? ApproveThis workflows adjust by adding a “Summary Verified” approval step. The combination future-proofs your tech stack.
The Bottom Line
ApproveThis and Vicodo tackle different sides of the same problem: Vicodo organizes what needs attention, while ApproveThis ensures the right people validate it. For teams drowning in Slack approvals or missed client follow-ups, this integration isn’t just convenient – it’s a liability shield. The email-based approvals alone prevent external vendors or clients from gatekeeping progress because they don’t use your CRM.
