ApproveThis manages your FeatPaper Integration approvals.

When Documents Need More Than a Signature

Let's be real: most approval processes suck. You've got PDFs floating in Slack, stakeholders forgetting to check emails, and that one VP who's always "on vacation" when you need a sign-off. FeatPaper solves half the problem by showing you exactly who's engaging with your documents. But knowing someone opened your contract doesn't mean they'll approve it. That's where ApproveThis comes in – turning those "maybe they saw it" moments into clear yes/no decisions without the endless follow-ups.

Why This Combo Works (When Other Tools Just Add Noise)

FeatPaper tells you who looked at your proposal. ApproveThis tells you what they decided about it. Together, they remove the two biggest bottlenecks in document workflows: guessing if stakeholders are paying attention, and herding them into actually making a choice.

What FeatPaper Does Best

Track document opens, see which sections get the most attention, and get notified when key clients view your materials. Great for sales decks, contracts, or any PDF you don't want lost in an inbox.

Where ApproveThis Takes Over

Automatically routes documents to the right approvers based on dollar amounts, project types, or compliance rules. No more "Who needs to sign off on this?" emails. Plus, real-time tracking so you know exactly where every request stands.

Real-World Use Cases (That Don't Require a PhD in Zapier)

1. Approval Triggers That Actually Make Sense

Scenario: Marketing sends a new whitepaper via FeatPaper. The moment a lead from EnterpriseCorp opens it, ApproveThis:

• Auto-routes discount approval to Sales VP
• Flags legal if the lead is in a regulated industry
• Escalates to CFO if discount exceeds $50k

Why it matters: Your sales team stops guessing when to push for deals. Approvers only get involved when actual interest exists.

2. Post-Approval Automation That Doesn't Feel Robotic

Scenario: Legal approves updated NDA terms in ApproveThis. FeatPaper then:

• Generates trackable link with expiration date
• Auto-sends to client via approved template
• Alerts compliance if document isn't opened within 48hrs

Why it matters: No more "Did they get the final version?" calls. You know when it's seen, and can act if it's ignored.

Setup That Takes Less Time Than Your Daily Standup

Connect FeatPaper and ApproveThis through Zapier in three steps:

1. Choose your trigger (FeatPaper doc view or ApproveThis decision)
2. Map key data fields (Client name, document type, $ amounts)
3. Set approval rules (Who needs to sign off based on what criteria)

Pro tip: Use ApproveThis' calculated fields to auto-flag high-risk contracts. Example: If FeatPaper shows 10+ page views from a healthcare lead, require legal review regardless of deal size.

Team-Specific Wins (No Department Left Behind)

Sales Teams

Stop losing deals to approval delays. When enterprise leads engage with pricing docs in FeatPaper, ApproveThis automatically:

• Routes discounts to managers with deal history context
• Flags expired offers in real-time
• Auto-approves standard NDAs under $10k

Legal Teams

Cut review time without risking compliance. ApproveThis uses FeatPaper data to:

• Prioritize contracts from high-engagement clients
• Auto-escalate docs viewed by regulated industries
• Create audit trails with decision timestamps

HR Teams

Onboard faster, without paper chasing. When new hires view handbooks in FeatPaper, ApproveThis:

• Triggers equipment approval workflows
• Auto-signs compliance forms after 100% doc completion
• Alerts IT if security training isn't acknowledged

Features You'll Actually Use (No Bloatware Here)

ApproveThis isn't just another checkbox tool. Key features that matter with FeatPaper:

• Approval Thresholds: Auto-approve small contract changes, but require exec sign-off on high-value renewals
• Vacation Delegation: Legal out? Approvals shift to deputy without missing SLAs
• Email Decisions: Let busy VPs approve via email without FeatPaper logins

The Bottom Line (Before Your Eyes Glaze Over)

If you're using FeatPaper, you already care about document analytics. Adding ApproveThis means acting on that data faster – without manual follow-ups or approval black holes. It's not about replacing human decisions; it's about making those decisions happen when they actually matter.

Key differentiator: Approvers don't need FeatPaper licenses. Clients, contractors, or execs can approve via email while you maintain full tracking in both systems.
