Why This Integration Isn’t Just Another Zap
Let’s cut to the chase: Most companies treat approvals and surveys like two separate universes. You gather feedback in Enalyzer, then beg stakeholders to review it in endless email threads. Or you fire off approval requests in ApproveThis, only to realize later that nobody checked if the data actually supports the decision. It’s like using a racecar…but refusing to shift out of first gear.
Here’s the fix: Connect ApproveThis and Enalyzer via Zapier to turn survey insights into actionable approvals – and vice versa. We’re talking about real-time handoffs where:
- Survey results automatically trigger approval requests when specific conditions are met (e.g., 80% of employees agree with a policy change)
- New approval workflows kick off targeted surveys to gather missing intel before decisions are made
For teams drowning in Slack pings and spreadsheet tracking? This is your life raft.
How This Duo Works (Without the Tech Jargon)
Enalyzer’s great at asking questions. ApproveThis is great at getting answers. Together, they handle the messy middle part most companies ignore. Here’s the breakdown:
The Two-Way Street
From Enalyzer → ApproveThis: When survey responses hit certain thresholds (e.g., customer satisfaction drops below 60%), Zapier auto-creates an approval request in ApproveThis. Leadership gets a clear “Here’s the problem, approve the solution” workflow instead of a vague email alert.
From ApproveThis → Enalyzer: When someone submits a high-stakes request (like a $50K budget increase), Zapier triggers Enalyzer to survey relevant stakeholders. The approval decision waits until the survey confirms alignment with company goals.
The License Hack You’ll Love
Here’s the kicker: Approvers in ApproveThis don’t need Enalyzer accounts. They review survey summaries and take action directly from email or ApproveThis’ dashboard. No more paying for unused survey seats just so the CFO can glance at a pie chart.
Real-World Use Cases (Not Just Theory)
This isn’t about “streamlining workflows” – it’s about fixing specific pains. Let’s get concrete:
1. HR Teams: Policy Changes That Don’t Backfire
The Problem: Rolling out a new WFH policy? If 20% of employees hate it, that’s an HR time bomb. But manually surveying, then routing approvals through legal, then IT? That’s a 3-week delay.
The Fix:
- Enalyzer surveys staff about proposed policy changes
- Zapier triggers an ApproveThis request only if ≥70% approval rating
- Legal/IT teams approve final language in ApproveThis with survey data attached
Result: No more guesswork. Leadership sees exactly what employees will tolerate before signing off.
2. Marketing Teams: Budget Approvals That Actually Use Data
The Problem: CMO wants $30K for a TikTok campaign. CFO says “Prove it.” Old way: Marketing scrambles to find outdated surveys or worse – makes up projections.
The Fix:
- ApproveThis request starts → Zapier triggers Enalyzer survey to 500 customers
- “Would this campaign solve [X problem] for you?” + budget options
- If ≥40% say “Yes” and prefer mid-tier pricing, auto-route to CFO with data
Result: CFO approves in one click because the request is already validated.
3. Operations: Supplier Contracts That Stay On-Brand
The Problem: Procurement picks a cheaper supplier, but nobody checked if it aligns with sustainability promises. Cue PR fires.
The Fix:
- New vendor in ApproveThis → Enalyzer surveys internal DEI/Sustainability teams
- Approval only escalates to execs if survey confirms vendor meets ESG criteria
- Auto-denial with comments if compliance scores are too low
Result: Procurement stays fast, companies stay authentic.
How to Set This Up (Seriously, It’s 15 Minutes)
If you’ve used Zapier before, this is stupid simple:
- Connect ApproveThis + Enalyzer in Zapier (existing accounts work)
- Pick Your Trigger: Start with either “New Survey Response” (Enalyzer) or “New Approval Request” (ApproveThis)
- Add Filters: Like “Only if Survey Score > 7” or “Only for Budgets Over $10K”
- Test With a Real Request: Zapier’s test mode lets you fake a survey or approval to see the flow
Pro Tip: Use ApproveThis’ Calculated Fields to auto-calculate survey confidence intervals or budget ROI, then display them directly in approval requests.
Why This Beats Manual Processes (Besides the Obvious)
Sure, automation saves time. But the hidden wins matter more:
- No More “I Didn’t See the Survey!”: ApproveThis’ email approvals include key survey snippets. Approvers can click through to Enalyzer if they want details – but most won’t need to.
- Audit Trails That Cover Both Systems: ApproveThis logs who approved what and links to the Enalyzer survey data that triggered it. Compliance teams swoon.
- Escalate Smartly: If a survey shows urgent dissatisfaction (e.g., 90% of customers hate a feature), ApproveThis can auto-route the approval to C-suite, skipping 4 layers of middle managers.
Who Benefits Most? (Spoiler: Not Just Approval Jockeys)
This integration isn’t just for the people clicking “Approve.” Here’s the team-by-team breakdown:
For Executives
Get requests that already include stakeholder feedback. No more surprise mutinies because you approved something without checking pulse surveys.
For Middle Managers
Stop being the messenger. Surveys auto-attach to requests, so you’re not forwarding emails or explaining “why this matters.”
For Frontline Teams
Submit a purchase request → It auto-triggers a vendor survey → Gets approved faster because the data’s already there. Less follow-up, less frustration.
Key ApproveThis Features That Make This Work
We’re not here to pitch you every feature, but these matter for Enalyzer integrations:
Approval Thresholds
Example: Auto-approve survey-backed requests under $5K if satisfaction scores are above 8.0. Escalate anything riskier.
Vacation Delegation
If your Head of HR is OOO, surveys don’t stall. Approvals quietly reroute to their deputy without you lifting a finger.
Conditional Fields
Show/hide survey questions in Enalyzer based on what’s being approved. (e.g., Budget requests over $20K get extra ROI questions)
Ready to Stop Approving in the Dark?
Let’s be real: If your approval process doesn’t include real-time data, you’re basically guessing. And guessing is fine…until a wrong call costs $50K or tanks employee morale.
ApproveThis + Enalyzer via Zapier is how mid-sized companies punch above their weight. They move fast because they have the data, not despite it.
Next steps:
- Grab an ApproveThis trial (approvers are free, remember?)
- Set up your Enalyzer survey – their free tier works for testing
- Connect the two in Zapier → Start with one workflow (like employee policy approvals)
Or, if you’d rather see it live first, book a 10-minute demo. We’ll show how a construction company cut equipment purchase delays by 60% using this exact integration. No sales fluff – just the facts.
