ApproveThis manages your Signaturit Integration approvals.

Integration Category: Signatures
Let's cut to the chase: approvals suck. They're the traffic jam in your workflow highway, the "waiting on Gary from accounting" of business operations. But here's the thing – they don't have to. When you connect ApproveThis (your approval muscle) with Signaturit (the digital signature workhorse) through Zapier, you're not just streamlining processes. You're building an autobahn for decisions.
Why This Combo Works Like a Double Shot of Espresso
ApproveThis handles the "who needs to sign off" puzzle with military precision. Signaturit makes legally binding signatures happen faster than you can say "notary public." Together? They turn document workflows into something that actually works.
Here's what dies when these two team up:
- Email chains that look like War and Peace
- Contracts lost in someone's inbox purgatory
- "Did legal review this?" guessing games
The Nerd Stuff (Made Painless)
ApproveThis brings conditional logic, approval thresholds, and real-time tracking to the table. Signaturit adds bulletproof e-signatures and certified email. Through Zapier, they talk to each other like old college buddies – no developer needed.
Real Teams Getting Real Results
1. Procurement Teams: From Paperweight to Powerhouse
Picture this: Your vendor sends a signed contract via Signaturit. Zapier instantly fires up an ApproveThis workflow to greenlight purchase orders. Approval thresholds auto-approve small orders, while big spends get escalated. Procurement leads save 8 hours/week chasing signatures and approvals.
2. Legal Departments: Killing Contract Limbo
New NDAs signed in Signaturit? Boom – ApproveThis pings legal for final review before filing. Vacation delegation means no more "out of office" bottlenecks. One law firm client cut contract turnaround from 14 days to 48 hours. No associates were harmed in the process.
3. HR Squads: Onboarding Without the Migraine
New hire signs offer letter in Signaturit → ApproveThis triggers IT setup approvals. Calculated fields automatically route equipment requests based on role. HR gets to actually talk to humans instead of pushing paper.
Your Secret Weapon: External Approvals That Don't Cost a Fortune
Here's the kicker: ApproveThis approvers don't need Signaturit licenses. Client signed an SOW? Vendor approved a spec sheet? Their approval happens in ApproveThis via email – no added software costs. You stay compliant, they stay happy, accounting stays off your back.
Setting This Up Without Losing Your Mind
Zapier does the heavy lifting. Here's the play-by-play:
- Connect the Pipes: Hook up ApproveThis and Signaturit to Zapier (10 minutes tops)
- Pick Your Trigger: "Document signed in Signaturit" or "New approval request in ApproveThis"
- Build Your Logic: Add approval steps, conditional paths, alerts
- Test Drive: Send a test doc through. Tweak if needed.
Pro tip: Start with one process (like contract approvals) before scaling to expense reports or procurement.
Features You'll Actually Use (No Bloatware Here)
While we're here, let's highlight ApproveThis tools that pair perfectly with Signaturit:
Approval Thresholds: Auto-approve NDAs under $50k. Escalate bigger contracts. Sleep better at night.
Vacation Delegation: Gary in legal is on a beach? Requests auto-reroute. No more "waiting for Gary."
Calculated Fields: Automatically flag contracts needing extra scrutiny based on value or clauses.
Who Benefits? More Like Who Doesn't
Finance Teams
PO approvals tied to signed contracts. Budget thresholds enforced automatically. Auditors actually smile for once.
Sales Ops
Closed-won deal gets signed → approval triggers discount authorization and fulfillment. Commissions get processed before the rep even asks.
Compliance Officers
Every signed doc auto-triggers approval audit trails. Certified emails from Signaturit create watertight records.
The Elephant in the Room: Security
Yes, it's secure. Signaturit meets eIDAS standards. ApproveThis uses role-based access. Zapier's the glue – not the storage. Your legal team can put their red pens away.
When Not to Use This (Yes, Really)
If your approval process is "Gary decides everything," keep using email. If you need real-time co-editing, look elsewhere. But if you want structured, auditable workflows that scale? This is your jam.
Bottom Line: Approval Processes Should Work For You, Not Against You
Combining ApproveThis with Signaturit isn't about fancy tech – it's about eliminating the crap that slows you down. Less chasing, more doing. Fewer status meetings, more actual progress.
