ApproveThis manages your Jodoo Integration approvals.

When No-Code Meets No-BS Approvals

Let’s cut to the chase: Jodoo builds forms and apps that capture data. ApproveThis decides what happens to that data. Together, they’re like peanut butter and jelly for companies tired of chasing down signatures or losing requests in email black holes. We’re talking about turning “Hey, did you approve that thing?” into “Yeah, the system already handled it.”

Jodoo’s flexibility lets you build anything from employee onboarding checklists to client project intake forms. But here’s where it gets stuck: approvals. That’s where ApproveThis comes in – it’s the traffic cop for every “Yes/No/Maybe” decision your Jodoo workflows create. And because they connect through Zapier, you’re not waiting on IT to make this happen.

Why This Combo Doesn’t Just “Work” – It Actually Fixes Stuff

Most integrations just move data between apps. This one solves three specific nightmares for teams between 50-5000 people:

• No more approval limbo: Jodoo records don’t get stuck waiting for someone’s out-of-office reply
• Fewer license fees: Clients/vendors approve via email – no need for them to log into Jodoo
• Audit trails that don’t suck: See who approved what, when, and why – right next to the original Jodoo record

Real-World Uses That Don’t Feel Like Corporate Fluff

1. Procurement Teams: Stop Being the “Where’s My PO?” Department

Here’s how a 200-employee manufacturing company fixed their supply chain approvals:

Their Jodoo setup: Vendor intake form → Inventory management app → Purchase order generator
The problem: PO approvals bottlenecked at the CFO’s inbox
The fix: Zapier triggers ApproveThis when Jodoo PO requests hit $50k+. CFO gets email/Slack approval request. Under $50k? Auto-approved based on their thresholds.

Result: 80% fewer “urgent” approval chase emails. Finance team reclaimed 11 hours/week.

2. HR Teams: Onboarding That Doesn’t Require Mind Reading

A 700-person tech company’s new hire process used to look like this:
Jodoo form → 3 managers need to approve equipment requests → Spreadsheet tracking → Chaos
Now: Jodoo submission kicks off parallel approvals in ApproveThis. IT approves laptops, Facilities approves desk setup, Finance approves budget – all via email. Only escalates if there’s a conflict.

Bonus: When managers are OOO, ApproveThis auto-reassigns approvals. No more waiting for someone to return from Bali to get a new mouse.

3. Client Services: Stop Being a Professional Nag

Marketing agencies love this one. Client submits project brief via Jodoo → ApproveThis pings external clients for budget approval → Approved? Automatically creates Asana tasks. Denied? Triggers a re-scope request.
Key thing: Clients approve via email without logging into Jodoo. No “I forgot my password” delays.

How This All Actually Works (Without the Tech Jargon)

Let’s say your Jodoo form is the starting pistol. Here’s the race track:

1. Employee submits Jodoo form for, say, a conference budget
2. Zapier spots this new record and tells ApproveThis: “Hey, need an approval workflow here”
3. ApproveThis checks your rules: “Over $5k? Send to CFO. Under? Auto-approve.”
4. CFO gets an email. Clicks “Approve” or “Deny” – no logins, no hassle
5. ApproveThis updates Jodoo automatically. Finance team’s happy. Employee’s happy. You look good.

Setting This Up Without Losing Your Mind

If you can make toast, you can do this:

Step 1: Create a Zapier account (free tier works)
Step 2: Pick your Jodoo trigger – “New Record” works for 90% of cases
Step 3: Connect ApproveThis. Map Jodoo fields to your approval form
Step 4: Set approval rules – thresholds, who approves what, escalation paths
Step 5: Test with a $1 request before going live with the $10k ones

Pro tip: Use ApproveThis’ Calculated Fields to auto-calculate things like “Total Cost” from Jodoo data before sending for approval.

Teams That Stop Hating Mondays After Using This

Finance: Escalates big spends, auto-approves routine stuff, and has a clear audit trail for compliance.
Operations: Equipment requests don’t vanish into Slack DMs. Real-time tracking = less status update meetings.
HR: Onboarding approvals happen in parallel, not sequence. New hires get their gear on Day 1.
Client-Facing Teams: External approvals happen faster. No more “Can you PDF this and email it?” nonsense.

Cool Features You’ll Actually Use

Beyond the basics, here’s where ApproveThis gets sneaky-good:
- Approval Thresholds: Auto-approve small expenses, escalate big ones. Set by $ amount, project type, department.
- Vacation Delegation: Approvals auto-reassign when someone’s OOO. No more “Waiting on Jim’s reply” when Jim’s on a cruise.
- Conditional Logic: Marketing spends over $20k? Route to CMO and Legal. Under? Just the department head.
- Email Approvals: Approvers don’t need another login. Just click “Approve” in their inbox.

Why This Beats “Just Using Jodoo Alone”

Jodoo’s great at collecting data. ApproveThis is great at decisions. Together:
- Fewer missed requests: Approvers get nagged (politely) until they respond
- Better compliance: Every approval has a digital paper trail
- Less license sprawl: External approvers don’t need Jodoo logins
- Faster processes: Parallel approvals cut cycle times by 60-80%
