ApproveThis manages your MyCSP Integration approvals.

Why Combine ApproveThis with MyCSP?

When cloud service providers and IT teams need to move fast without compromising compliance, two platforms create an unstoppable force. MyCSP simplifies Microsoft cloud product procurement and client onboarding, while ApproveThis adds structured governance through automated approval workflows. Together through Zapier, they turn financial operations and tenant management into precision processes.

The Approval Gap in Cloud Commerce

MyCSP excels at managing complex subscriptions and multi-tenant environments but leaves one critical business process unaddressed: human decision-making. Finance teams manually chase down approvers for invoice sign-offs. Sales engineers delay deployments waiting for client approvals. Operations teams lose visibility into pending requests across departments.

ApproveThis closes these gaps by adding configurable approval logic to MyCSP transactions. When a $50,000 Azure invoice gets paid? Automatically route it to the CFO. New enterprise client onboarding? Require dual sign-off from security and legal teams. Subscription plan upgrades? Escalate based on predefined spending thresholds.

Key Integration Benefits

For Finance Teams: Controlled Spending

Connect MyCSP's invoice tracking to ApproveThis' conditional workflows. A managed service provider reduced payment delays by 68% by auto-routing invoices over $10K to department heads while approving smaller transactions instantly. Approval thresholds and real-time dashboards eliminated last-minute budget surprises.

For IT Operations: Compliant Onboarding

New tenant creation in MyCSP now triggers multi-layer approvals. One healthcare IT company automated client environment provisioning by requiring security team sign-off before granting data access. Approval groups ensured 24/7 coverage despite time zone differences.

For Channel Managers: Streamlined Upselling

When MyCSP records a subscription upgrade, ApproveThis can require partner manager approval before applying changes. A Microsoft reseller uses calculated fields to auto-approve upgrades under 15% of current spend while flagging larger changes for review – cutting approval cycles from days to hours.

Critical Use Cases

1. Invoice Approval Automation

When MyCSP marks an invoice as paid, ApproveThis initiates validation workflows. A financial services firm routes Azure invoices through regional controllers first, then escalates to global finance leadership for amounts exceeding $250K. Email-based approvals let external auditors review without MyCSP access.

2. Subscription Change Governance

New Dynamics 365 subscriptions trigger approval requests comparing seat counts against contract terms. A software vendor eliminated $120K in annual revenue leakage by requiring sales director approval for any subscription exceeding negotiated limits.

3. Multi-Team Tenant Onboarding

New MyCSP tenants auto-generate parallel approval tracks. One enterprise IT team requires infrastructure approval from Azure engineers while simultaneously routing compliance checks to legal. Consensus-based approval groups ensure all stakeholders approve within SLAs.

4. Invoice Update Audits

When amended invoices surface in MyCSP, ApproveThis forces re-approval with change highlights. A manufacturing company reduced disputed payments by 41% using side-by-side comparisons of original vs modified charges in approval requests.

Implementation Essentials

Setting up the integration takes three steps:

1. Create Zapier connections to both MyCSP and ApproveThis
2. Choose MyCSP triggers (new invoice, subscription, tenant)
3. Map data fields to ApproveThis request templates

Pro Tip: Use ApproveThis' calculated fields to auto-set thresholds based on MyCSP's subscription term lengths or invoice payment terms.

Cross-Functional Advantages

Sales Teams

Accelerate upsell approvals by embedding MyCSP subscription details directly into approval requests. Sales engineers share contextual data like usage trends and contract terms, helping approvers make faster decisions.

Security Teams

New tenant requests include MyCSP environment configurations for risk assessment. Conditional logic routes high-risk deployments to senior staff while auto-approving standard setups.

External Partners

Channel partners approve client subscription changes via email without needing MyCSP logins. Vacation delegation ensures requests never stall when team members travel.

Strategic Differentiation

While standalone approval tools exist, ApproveThis uniquely adapts to MyCSP's commerce model:

• Approval logic based on Azure commitment tiers
• Auto-escalation for Microsoft Product Terms compliance checks
• Multi-currency support for global CSP partners
