ApproveThis manages your Facture.net Integration approvals.

When Invoicing Meets Approval Power

Let’s cut to the chase: approvals suck when they’re manual. Facture.net already handles your billing like a pro, but those invoice approvals? They’re still stuck in email chains, Slack pings, and “Hey, did you see that thing?” hallway ambushes. ApproveThis fixes that by adding structured approvals to Facture.net’s billing muscle through Zapier. No more license fees for external approvers. No more chasing signatures. Just cleaner workflows for teams that bill clients, manage projects, or onboard new customers.

Why This Combo Works (Besides Saving Your Sanity)

Facture.net keeps the lights on by managing invoices and client data. ApproveThis keeps decisions moving without bottlenecks. Together? They handle the two biggest headaches in client-facing work: getting paid and getting approvals. Here’s the kicker: approvers only need access to ApproveThis, not Facture.net. That means your external contractors, client stakeholders, or legal teams can approve invoices or contracts without you buying extra software seats. Perfect for:

• Agencies approving client budgets
• Construction firms signing off on project invoices
• IT companies handling vendor procurement

Real Workflows for Real Teams

1. Auto-Create Bills When Requests Get Greenlit

How it works: New approval request in ApproveThis → Auto-generate bill in Facture.net.

Who needs this: Marketing agencies where every campaign budget needs client sign-off. Imagine a $50K ad spend request getting approved, then instantly converting to a bill without manual data entry. Approval thresholds in ApproveThis can auto-approve smaller amounts, while big spends route to the right stakeholders. Time saved? About 3 hours per project cycle.

2. Freeze Bills Until Approvals Happen

How it works: New bill created in Facture.net → Approval request triggers in ApproveThis → Finalize bill only after approval.

Who needs this: Law firms or consultants dealing with sensitive hourly billing. A partner reviews time entries before the bill goes to the client. ApproveThis’ sequential approvals ensure the right eyes see it first, and vacation delegation means no holdups if someone’s OOO.

3. Client Onboarding Without the Paperwork Avalanche

How it works: New client added to Facture.net → Approval request pings legal/sales in ApproveThis.

Who needs this: SaaS companies scaling fast. Every new enterprise client triggers compliance checks and contract reviews. Approval groups in ApproveThis let legal and finance teams vote or pass the baton sequentially. Real-time tracking means you know exactly where a deal stands.

4. Instant Alerts When Bills Get Approved/Denied

How it works: Approval decision in ApproveThis → Update Facture.net bill status automatically.

Who needs this: Manufacturing companies dealing with supplier invoices. Denied a $20K materials invoice? Facture.net gets updated instantly, accounts payable stays in the loop, and the supplier gets notified—no awkward “Did you get my email?” calls.

Setting This Up Without Losing a Day

Zapier does the heavy lifting. You’ll need:

1. A ApproveThis account (14-day trial works)
2. A Facture.net subscription
3. 10 minutes to connect them via Zapier

Pick a template from the Zapier library (like “Create bills from approvals”), map your Facture.net fields to ApproveThis’ approval forms, and test it with a $1 test invoice. Done. Pro tip: Use ApproveThis’ calculated fields to auto-populate billing amounts or due dates based on approval data.

Which Teams Win the Most?

Finance Teams

No more manually cross-checking approved budgets against invoices. Conditional logic in ApproveThis routes bills over $10K straight to the CFO’s queue, while smaller amounts auto-approve. Audit trails? Built-in.

Operations Managers

Track project budgets and vendor payments in one dashboard. If a subcontractor’s invoice exceeds the SOW budget, approval thresholds flag it before it’s payable.

Client Services

Let clients approve estimates or change orders directly via email (no app logins). Approval statuses sync back to Facture.net, so your team knows when to start work.

Cool Features You’ll Actually Use

ApproveThis isn’t just a rubber stamp tool. It’s got:

• Email approvals: Approvers can respond via Gmail or Outlook—no app login needed.
• Approval groups: Require 3/5 department heads to sign off on big spends.
• Real-time dashboards: See which bills are stuck and why.

Bottom Line

If your team spends more than an hour a week chasing approvals or manually updating invoices, this integration pays for itself. ApproveThis handles the decision chaos; Facture.net handles the billing. Together, they keep cash flowing without the bureaucratic sludge.
