ApproveThis manages your Coopel Integration approvals.

Let’s cut through the corporate fluff: approvals suck. They’re the speed bumps of business operations. But here’s the thing – they don’t have to. When you connect ApproveThis (the approval ninja) with Coopel (the automation robot), you’re not just streamlining processes – you’re building a self-driving approval machine. And no, we’re not talking about replacing humans with actual robots. Just better software.

Why This Combo Works Like Whiskey and Bad Decisions

ApproveThis handles the human part – getting the right people to say “yes” or “no” without chasing emails. Coopel handles the robot part – doing the boring work before and after those decisions. Together? They turn multi-day approval marathons into hours-long sprints. Let’s break it down:

ApproveThis Brings to the Party:

• Custom approval chains that actually make sense (not that "reply-all" nonsense)
• Real-time tracking so you know exactly who’s holding up the show
• Email approvals for people who still live in their inbox

Coopel’s Contribution:

• Automating the prep work before approvals (data entry, document assembly)
• Handling post-approval grunt work (updating systems, triggering next steps)
• Running background checks without human error

Real World Use Cases That Don’t Put People to Sleep

We’ll skip the hypothetical BS. Here’s exactly how mid-sized companies are using this combo:

Procurement Teams: From “Where’s My PO?” to “It’s Done”

Picture this: Coopel automatically generates purchase requests by scraping vendor emails and pulling budget data from your ERP. ApproveThis routes it through Legal (if over $10K), then to Finance (if under department budget). Once approved, Coopel auto-creates the PO in your accounting system and pings the vendor. The procurement team? They’re actually taking lunch breaks now.

IT Security: Keeping the Hackers Out Without Locking Down Productivity

New software request comes in through Slack? Coopel scans it against approved vendors and security protocols. If red flags pop up, ApproveThis routes it to InfoSec with all context attached. Approved? Coopel auto-provisions licenses. Denied? Automatic reply with alternative solutions. Even your CISO might crack a smile.

Marketing Operations: Killing Creative Bottlenecks

Coopel aggregates campaign performance data from 12 different platforms overnight. At 9 AM, ApproveThis sends budget reallocation requests to department heads based on real-time ROI thresholds. By noon, Coopel’s shifting ad spend to top performers. Your marketing team stops fighting over spreadsheets and starts optimizing campaigns.

The Technical Stuff (We’ll Keep It Painless)

Setting this up takes less time than your last pointless Zoom meeting. Here’s the playbook:

Connection Blueprint

1. Create your Zapier account if you’re among the 3 people who don’t have one yet
2. Choose your trigger:
- Option A: Start with Coopel completing a scenario → Create ApproveThis request
- Option B: Start with ApproveThis approval → Trigger Coopel automation
3. Map your data fields (this isn’t rocket science – it’s dropdowns and checkboxes)
4. Test with a real request (pro tip: use your CEO’s approval as the test case – instant priority)

Pro Tips From People Who Actually Use This:

- Use ApproveThis’ calculated fields to auto-flag requests needing special handling
- Set up Coopel scenarios to handle both approval and rejection paths
- Enable vacation delegation unless you enjoy being the bottleneck during PTO season

Department-Specific Wins

This isn’t some “one size fits all” solution. Here’s how different teams benefit:

Finance Teams:

Auto-approve routine invoices under $5K using ApproveThis thresholds. Anything fishy gets kicked to humans with Coopel-attached fraud analysis reports. Month-end close stops being a horror show.

HR Teams:

Coopel auto-populates promotion requests with performance data. ApproveThis routes through comp committee, then auto-updates payroll systems. New hires get approved faster than they can change their LinkedIn status.

Operations Teams:

Facility requests auto-check inventory levels via Coopel before approval. Approved? Coopel orders supplies and schedules maintenance. Your ops manager stops playing Tetris with vendor deadlines.

The Elephant in the Room: License Costs

Here’s the kicker – ApproveThis approvers don’t need Coopel licenses (and vice versa). Client approvals? Vendor sign-offs? Just add their email. They approve via email like civilized humans. No more “Can you export this to PDF?” nonsense.

Common Objections (And Why They’re Dumb)

“We already have approval workflows in [Some Legacy System]”
Cool. Do they talk to other apps? Handle external approvers? Give real-time visibility? Didn’t think so.

“We’re not technical enough for this”
The setup uses Zapier – if you can order DoorDash, you can connect these apps. We’ve seen interns do it during their coffee break.

What You’re Really Solving

This isn’t about software – it’s about:
- Eliminating “I didn’t get the email” excuses
- Killing spreadsheet approval trackers
- Stopping finance from micromanaging every $20 expense
- Letting managers approve requests from their phone without 15 clicks

Getting Started (Without the Sales Circus)

Option 1: Grab a free ApproveThis trial and connect to Coopel yourself
Option 2: Book a 15-minute demo where we’ll show real examples from your industry

Either way, you’ll be live before your next board meeting. Unless you enjoy explaining approval delays to shareholders.

Final Word: This Isn’t Magic

It’s just better process design. ApproveThis handles the human decisions. Coopel handles the robot work. You handle the actual important stuff. Any questions?
