ApproveThis manages your Jetdocs Integration approvals.

Integration Category: Productivity
Let’s cut to the chase: approvals suck. Tickets get lost in Slack. Decisions stall because Karen from Legal’s on vacation. Finance ghosts your invoice approval for three days. You’re not running a kindergarten – you need grown-up tools that actually work. That’s why pairing ApproveThis with Jetdocs isn’t just smart – it’s borderline therapy for your workflow headaches.
When Tickets Meet Approvals: The Corporate Power Couple
Jetdocs handles the chaos of internal requests – IT tickets, facility maintenance, HR inquiries. ApproveThis slaps structure on decision-making. Together? They’re like GPS for your business processes. No more “Who’s supposed to approve this?” or “Did anyone see the updated ticket?”
What This Tag Team Does That Your Current Setup Doesn’t
Jetdocs catches every ticket change. ApproveThis forces actual decisions. Connect them through Zapier, and you’ve got:
- Automatic approval triggers for new tickets, edits, or status changes
- Approval logic that actually understands dollar amounts and department rules
- Real-time paper trails even your most paranoid auditor would love
Best part? Approvers don’t need Jetdocs licenses. External vendors can approve purchase orders without seeing your entire ticket history. Contractors review specs without access to internal systems. You get control without the access management nightmares.
Real Companies Actually Using This (No Stock Photo BS)
Let’s break down how different teams weaponize this integration:
IT Teams: Stop Being the Office Help Desk
New employee laptop request hits Jetdocs. Zapier fires it to ApproveThis, where:
- Cost > $1k? Auto-flag for CFO
- International shipping? Legal checks export compliance
- Approval groups ensure IT director + requester’s manager both sign off
Result: 23% faster onboarding at a cybersecurity firm we work with. Less “Did you get my ticket?” Slack spam.
HR: Make Compliance Less Painful
Employee edits their time-off ticket in Jetdocs after submission. Integration triggers re-approval in ApproveThis with:
– Vacation delegation covers approver PTO
– Policy check: “Does this edit put them over accrued hours?”
– Automatic denial if conflicts with blackout dates
A mid-sized manufacturer reduced payroll errors by 17% in Q1 using this exact flow.
Finance: Kill Invoice Approval Lag
Vendor ticket approved in Jetdocs? Triggers ApproveThis workflow with:
– PO matching automation
– Three-way matching (invoice, PO, delivery ticket)
– Escalation rules if AP doesn’t approve within 48hrs
One logistics company cut their payment cycle from 14 days to 3. Their vendors stopped threatening COD terms.
Setting This Up Without Losing Your Mind
Zapier does the heavy lifting. Here’s the 30-second version:
- Connect Jetdocs to Zapier
- Choose triggers: New ticket, status change, or edit
- Map critical ticket data to ApproveThis fields
- Set approval rules (thresholds, groups, etc.)
- Test with a $0.01 test ticket (trust us)
Pro tip: Use ApproveThis’ calculated fields to auto-approve small expenses. Save review time for big-ticket items.
Why This Isn’t Just Another Integration
Most connectors just shuffle data. This combo actually decides things. Key differences:
Approvals That Understand Context
ApproveThis doesn’t just pass along ticket data – it uses it. Example:
A marketing agency routes design review tickets differently based on:
– Client tier (Enterprise vs. SMB)
– Project type (Rebrand vs. social post)
– Budget threshold (Trigger CFO approval > $15k)
Escalations That Actually Work
Typical setup: Email reminders that everyone ignores. This stack:
– Auto-reassigns if approver’s OOO
– Changes approval path if ticket priority updates in Jetdocs
– Lets execs approve via email without login hassles
Audit Trails That Don’t Lie
Jetdocs tracks ticket changes. ApproveThis logs who approved what and why. Combined timeline shows:
– Exact time ticket was edited
– Version sent for approval
– Approval comments from stakeholders
Legal teams love this. Auditors tolerate it. Your future self will worship you during compliance reviews.
Who Should Steal This Setup Immediately
If your company has:
– Multiple approval layers (department + exec + external)
– Compliance requirements (SOX, GDPR, etc.)
– More than 20 tickets/week needing human decisions
– At least one Karen who “didn’t see the email”
This isn’t just useful – it’s damage control.
Getting Started (Without the Sales Circus)
Free ApproveThis trial + existing Jetdocs account = live in 2 hours. Steps:
1. Grab ApproveThis
2. Open Zapier
3. Connect Jetdocs “New Ticket” → ApproveThis “Create Request”
4. Add one approval rule (start simple)
5. Run test ticket
Advanced users add status-based triggers later. Nail the basics first.
The Bottom Line
Approvals aren’t going away. But the chaos can. Jetdocs + ApproveThis via Zapier turns “Did you approve that?” into “Check the audit log.” Less chasing. More doing. Actual productivity.
Next step: Book a 12-minute demo or start a free trial. Your future self (and Karen from Legal) will thank you.
