When Ticket Chaos Meets Approval Gridlock

Let's be real: nothing kills momentum like chasing down approvals. Your team's crushing tickets in Wrangle, then everything grinds to a halt because Susan from legal needs to sign off... and she's on vacation. Meanwhile, the marketing team's drowning in Slack pings about invoice approvals. This is why we built the ApproveThis + Wrangle integration through Zapier - to fix that last-mile chaos between getting work done and getting it approved.

Why This Combo Works Like Caffeine for Operations

Wrangle's great at keeping Slack from becoming a ticket graveyard. ApproveThis stops decisions from getting stuck in email threads. Together, they handle the full lifecycle:

  • No more "Who approved this?": Every Wrangle ticket completion can auto-generate an approval paper trail
  • Stop playing approval telephone: Legal/finance/exec teams review in ApproveThis without needing Wrangle licenses

Example: A 200-person e-commerce company routes 90% of vendor contracts through this combo. Their procurement team uses Wrangle tickets to collect specs, then ApproveThis automatically handles legal review + PO approvals. No more lost contracts in Slack DMs.

Three Ways Teams Actually Use This Integration

1. Closing the Loop on Completed Work

The Problem: Your IT team resolves a Wrangle ticket for new employee access... but nobody formally approves if permissions are correct.

The Fix: Auto-create ApproveThis requests when Wrangle tickets close. HR gets an email to confirm access levels met compliance standards before onboarding.

Who uses this: Healthcare companies for HIPAA-compliant access reviews, manufacturing teams verifying safety protocol updates.

2. Turning Approvals into Actionable Tickets

The Problem: Marketing needs exec approval for a campaign, but the request gets lost in Slack.

The Fix: New ApproveThis requests auto-create Wrangle tickets. The CMO's EA tracks pending approvals in Wrangle's dashboard instead of hunting through emails.

Who uses this: Agencies tracking client approvals, product teams managing feature launch sign-offs.

3. Multi-Stage Workflows That Don't Require Babysitting

The Problem: Contract renewals need department head approval THEN legal review THEN CFO sign-off.

The Fix: Wrangle handles initial intake, ApproveThis routes sequentially with conditional thresholds (e.g., auto-approve under $10k). Legal team gets Slack alerts via Wrangle if contracts need amendments.

Who uses this: SaaS companies managing enterprise contracts, nonprofits handling grant approvals.

Setting This Up Without Losing Your Mind

We kept the Zapier setup stupid simple because nobody's got time for complex configurations:

  1. Connect Wrangle and ApproveThis in Zapier (takes 2 minutes)
  2. Choose your trigger: "Ticket Completed" in Wrangle or "New Request" in ApproveThis
  3. Map critical fields (we auto-suggest the common ones)

Pro tip: Use ApproveThis' calculated fields to auto-flag high-risk requests. Example: If a Wrangle ticket includes "contract" in the title + value over $50k, route to legal AND CFO automatically.

Why Your CFO and Legal Team Will Actually Respond

ApproveThis handles the stuff that makes approvers hate you:

  • Vacation delegation: CFO out? Requests auto-reassign to their deputy without you lifting a finger
  • Approval thresholds: Legal only sees requests over $25k automatically
  • Email approvals: Yes, they can still approve via Outlook like the Luddites they are

Real result: A logistics company cut vendor approval time from 48hrs to 6hrs because approvers weren't bombarded with low-dollar requests.

Department-Specific Wins

IT & Security Teams

Automate access reviews without leaving Slack. Wrangle tickets for new user setup → ApproveThis requires manager confirmation of permissions. All approvals are audit-ready.

Marketing & Creative

Stop the "design by committee" nightmare. Route draft approvals through Wrangle tickets, then use ApproveThis for final legal/compliance sign-offs with version control.

Procurement & Finance

Wrangle collects vendor bids → ApproveThis auto-routes based on dollar amount. Purchasing gets real-time dashboards instead of spreadsheet trackers.

The Bottom Line (No Fluff)

This integration isn't about flashy features. It's about fixing the approval black holes that make teams resent each other. If you're using Wrangle but still have people forwarding Slack messages saying "Can you approve this?", you need ApproveThis.

Next steps:

1. Grab a free ApproveThis trial (takes 3 minutes)
2. Connect to Wrangle via Zapier
3. Automate one approval process this week

Or if you hate saving time, keep screenshotting Slack threads and emailing them to your CFO. We don't judge.
