ApproveThis manages your Nove Integration approvals.

When “Approved” Shouldn’t Mean “Let Me Chase Down 5 People”

Let’s get real: approval processes suck. Especially when you’re managing clients, stylists, and a constant stream of new customer requests. Nove’s great at organizing your styling biz, but approvals? Not so much. That’s where ApproveThis comes in – think of it as the bouncer for your workflows. Together, they turn “Hey, can someone check this?” into “Done. Next.”

Here’s the deal: Connect Nove to ApproveThis via Zapier, and suddenly every new client intake, service request, or VIP styling package gets auto-routed to the right approvers. No more spreadsheet trackers. No more “Did you see my email?” Slack pings. Just clean, auditable, fast decisions.

Why This Combo Works (Besides Saving Your Sanity)

Nove keeps your customer data tidy. ApproveThis keeps your decisions moving. Combine them, and you’ve got a system where:

• New clients get approved before they hit your CRM
• Stylist requests (like special product orders) get greenlit without budget overspend
• VIP packages automatically route to finance and senior stylists based on spend thresholds

Example: A mid-sized styling agency uses this integration to handle 200+ monthly client onboarding requests. Instead of CC’ing five managers on every email, Nove triggers an ApproveThis workflow the second a new client form’s submitted. Finance checks budget fit, lead stylists vet client/stylist matches, and the ops team gets auto-notified when it’s go-time. Approval time dropped from 3 days to 4 hours.

Use Cases That Don’t Feel Like Corporate Jargon

1. “Why Is This Client in Our System Without Approval?”

The Zap: New Nove customer → Auto-create ApproveThis request.

Problem it solves: Ever had a sales rep onboard a client who’s a terrible fit for your services? This stops that. Use ApproveThis’ calculated fields to flag clients outside your ideal budget range or service area before they’re in Nove.

Real-world twist: A bridal styling studio uses this to block bookings from clients requesting services they don’t offer (like floral design). If Nove detects “floral” in the request, ApproveThis pings the creative director for manual review.

2. “Just Approve It Already So We Can Start!”

The Zap: ApproveThis approval → Auto-create Nove customer.

Problem it solves: Delays when ops teams forget to create client records post-approval. Now, when marketing approves a VIP styling package, the client’s automatically in Nove with all service details attached.

Bonus move: Use ApproveThis’ email approvals so external partners (like photographers) can OK collaboration requests without needing Nove logins. Perfect for agencies who work with freelancers.

Teams That Stop Dragging Their Feet

Operations: The “Make It Actually Happen” Crew

They care about: Not being the bottleneck. With ApproveThis’ vacation delegation, if the head of ops is OOO, requests auto-reassign. Plus, real-time dashboards show which approvals are stuck (and why).

Finance: The “Show Me the Money” Department

They care about: No budget surprises. Set approval thresholds so any styling package over $5K auto-escalates to CFO. ApproveThis’ audit trails also simplify month-end reconciliations.

Sales & Customer Success: The “Keep Clients Happy” Squad

They care about: Onboarding speed. Since approvals happen before clients hit Nove, CS can start prepping welcome kits immediately. No more “We approved them 3 days ago, why aren’t they in the system?!”

Setup That Won’t Make You Hate Tech

Total time: 12 minutes (seriously).

1. Connect: In Zapier, link Nove and ApproveThis.
2. Pick Your Trigger: Like “New Customer in Nove” or “Approval Given in ApproveThis.”
3. Map Fields: Drag-and-drop which Nove data goes into ApproveThis (budget, services needed, etc.).

Pro tip: Start with one workflow (like high-budget client approvals). Once that’s humming, add others.

Cool Features You’ll Actually Use

Not just checkbox items:

• Email approvals: Approvers click “Approve” or “Deny” without logging into anything. Great for external partners.
• Conditional logic: If a Nove client’s budget is under $1K, skip director approval. Over? Add two approvers.
• Vacation mode: Sales head on a cruise? Requests auto-shift to their deputy.

This Isn’t For Everyone (And That’s Okay)

If your styling biz is <50 people and you’re cool with ad-hoc approvals? Maybe overkill. But if you’re:

- Scaling past 100 clients/month
- Dealing with compliance audits
- Tired of “Who approved this?!” finger-pointing
...this combo’s your lifeline.

No More “Just Approve It” Chaos

ApproveThis + Nove via Zapier isn’t magic. It’s just smart workflow design. You get:

- Clients onboarded faster (without cutting corners)
- Finance actually trusting ops
- Stylists focusing on creativity, not admin
