ApproveThis manages your GetMyInvoices Integration approvals.

Integration Category: Accounting
Let’s cut to the chase: approvals suck. Hunting down invoices across 10,000 portals? Chasing department heads for signatures? It’s like herding cats with a laser pointer. But here’s the thing – your accounting team doesn’t need more coffee runs. They need ApproveThis and GetMyInvoices working together through Zapier.
Why This Combo Works Like a Swiss Army Knife
GetMyInvoices does the heavy lifting of finding every invoice hiding in email threads, client portals, and that one SaaS tool your IT guy swore was “easy to use.” ApproveThis takes those invoices and makes sure they get signed off without a game of Slack tag. Together? They turn “Where’s that PO?” into “Approved, next.”
For Companies Who Hate Wasting Money
Construction firms getting killed by late payment fees? Now when GetMyInvoices finds an invoice from a subcontractor, ApproveThis automatically routes it to the project manager, then accounting. No more cement trucks waiting because someone forgot to check their email.
Marketing Agencies Keeping Clients Happy
Client needs to approve that $50k ad spend? GetMyInvoices grabs the invoice from Facebook Ads. ApproveThis shoots it to the client’s CMO via email (no account needed) with a big “APPROVE” button. No more “I never saw that PDF” excuses.
How It Actually Works (No Tech Jargon)
Zapier’s the middleman here. Set up once, then:
- When GetMyInvoices finds a new bill → ApproveThis creates an approval ticket
- When ApproveThis gets a signature → GetMyInvoices files the doc where it belongs
Your team just sees the magic happening. More on that later.
Real Teams Getting Real Results
Healthcare Providers Avoiding Compliance Headaches
Medical device company gets invoices from 200+ suppliers. Old way: AP clerk manually routes each one for department approvals. New way: GetMyInvoices auto-fetches invoices, ApproveThis routes based on amount ($5k goes to department head, $50k goes to CFO). Compliance team sleeps better.
Manufacturing Plants That Actually Run On Time
Raw material invoice stuck in approval limbo? Not anymore. GetMyInvoices pulls the supplier’s bill, ApproveThis uses calculated fields to check against POs. Match? Auto-approve. Mismatch? Escalate to purchasing. Production lines keep moving.
The Secret Sauce Most People Miss
ApproveThis isn’t just about hitting “approve” faster. These features make the GetMyInvoices integration actually useful:
Approval Thresholds: Bills under $1k auto-approve. Over $10k? Needs three signatures. Accounting doesn’t even see the small stuff.
Vacation Coverage: CFO out golfing? Approvals automatically reroute to the COO. No more “I was OOO” delays.
Email Approvals: External vendors can approve without logging into yet another portal. They just click a link. Simple wins.
Setting It Up Without Calling IT
1. Create a Zapier account (takes 2 minutes)
2. Connect GetMyInvoices → Choose “New Document” trigger
3. Connect ApproveThis → Set up “Create Request” action
4. Test with a sample invoice
5. Flip the switch
Pro tip: Use ApproveThis’ calculated fields to auto-tag invoices by vendor, amount, or project code. Makes reporting less of a nightmare.
Who Actually Benefits (Besides Your Sanity)
Finance Teams:
Close books 3 days faster because approvals aren’t MIA. Approval thresholds mean junior staff handle routine stuff without risking a $100k oopsie.
Operations Managers:
See every pending approval in one dashboard. No more surprise delays because accounting was waiting on a signature from someone who quit last month.
IT Departments:
Fewer “I can’t log in to the invoice system” tickets. Approvers use email, external partners don’t need new logins, and Zapier handles the backend.
The Elephant in the Room: “But We Already Have [Insert Clunky ERP Here]”
Great. Keep it. This isn’t about replacing your accounting software. It’s about fixing the approval bottlenecks that make your ERP feel like it’s running on Windows 95. ApproveThis + GetMyInvoices plugs into your existing tools like a turbocharger.
When You Should Probably Look Elsewhere
This isn’t magic. If your approval process is “The CEO signs everything in blue ink on Thursdays,” you don’t need software – you need a board meeting. But if you’ve got:
- Multiple departments needing to sign off
- External partners or clients in the approval chain
- More than 20 invoices/month
...this combo will pay for itself in saved aspirin costs.
Getting Started (Without the Sales Pitch)
1. Grab an ApproveThis trial – 14 days, no credit card
2. Connect your GetMyInvoices account via Zapier
3. Set up one approval workflow (start with PO matching)
4. See how much time your team stops wasting
Or book a 10-minute demo if you’d rather see it work before diving in. Either way, stop letting approvals be the bottleneck you complain about at every all-hands meeting.
Final Thought
Approvals are never going to be fun. But they can stop being the reason your team works late. GetMyInvoices finds the documents, ApproveThis gets them signed, and everyone gets to leave on time. Isn’t that the actual point of “workflow automation” anyway?
