ApproveThis manages your Breakthrough Integration approvals.

Integration Category: Website App Building
Let’s be real – approval processes are the traffic jams of business operations. You’ve built an amazing coaching platform with Breakthrough, but now you’re stuck managing billing disputes, purchase requests, and user approvals through endless email threads. Enter ApproveThis: the Zapier-powered approval layer that turns gridlock into a high-speed pass lane.
Why This Combo Works (Besides Saving Your Sanity)
Breakthrough helps you scale coaching through custom apps. ApproveThis helps you scale decisions. Together, they handle the messy middle between "something needs approval" and "something gets done." Here’s the kicker: approvers don’t need Breakthrough licenses. Clients, vendors, or execs can review requests via email without logging into yet another system. No more "I didn’t see the notification" excuses.
Features That Actually Matter
ApproveThis isn’t just digital paperwork. It brings:
- Threshold Rules: Auto-approve purchases under $500? Done.
- Backup Approvers: No more waiting for Karen from Accounting to return from Bali.
Breakthrough handles the action – ApproveThis handles the reaction. When a purchase happens or a user signs up, your workflow automatically demands scrutiny. Not in a micromanaging way. In a "let’s avoid costly mistakes" way.
Real-World Use Cases (Not Fluff)
1. Billing Disputes That Don’t Require a PhD in Escalation
The Problem: Client claims they were overcharged. Support team needs accounting approval to issue refunds. Cue three days of CC’d emails.
The Fix: Breakthrough detects billing issues → ApproveThis routes refund requests to finance with client context attached. Approval happens in 2 clicks via email. Bonus: Auto-reject disputes over 90 days old using calculated fields.
Who Cares: Wellness studios managing 100+ memberships. Dispute resolution time drops from days to hours.
2. One-Time Purchases That Don’t Become Full-Time Headaches
The Problem: Client buys a $2,000 intensive package. Coach needs manager approval to confirm availability. Currently solved via Slack pings that get buried.
The Fix: Breakthrough logs purchase → ApproveThis pings program director with package details. Sequential approvals ensure both scheduling and revenue goals get checked.
Who Cares: Life coaches selling high-ticket offers. Reduced overbooking by 37% (actual result from a current client – but we won’t namedrop).
3. User Approvals That Actually Prevent Fraud
The Problem: New user signs up for your nutrition app with a sketchy email. Your team misses it because they’re reviewing spreadsheets.
The Fix: Breakthrough triggers approval → ApproveThis checks domains against blocklist. Auto-approves legit domains, flags others for review. All approvers see the same dashboard.
Who Cares: Health tech startups needing HIPAA compliance. Catch red flags before they become breach reports.
Setup That Doesn’t Need an IT Degree
Connect Breakthrough to ApproveThis via Zapier in 15 minutes:
- Pick a Breakthrough trigger (new purchase, user, etc.)
- Map data to ApproveThis fields (amount, user email, notes)
- Set approval rules (who approves what, thresholds)
Pro tip: Use ApproveThis’ calculated fields to auto-flag requests over $X or from new accounts. Because teaching Zapier conditional logic is easier than teaching managers to read spreadsheets.
Who Actually Benefits (Besides Your Ops Team)
Finance Teams
Get purchase approvals before charges hit the card. Attach Breakthrough receipts directly to ApproveThis requests. Audit trails happen automatically.
Program Directors
See every client purchase in one dashboard. Approve/deny via email while commuting. Delegate approvals when traveling without exposing Breakthrough logins.
Support Teams
Stop being the messenger between clients and accounting. When a dispute arises, kick it to ApproveThis and focus on actual support.
The Bottom Line (Besides Saving 20 Hours/Week)
Breakthrough builds your coaching empire. ApproveThis protects it from chaos. You get:
- Fewer financial errors (auditors love this)
- Faster client onboarding (revenue loves this)
- Less app-switching (your team loves this)

No extra Breakthrough licenses required for approvers. Actual sarcasm may vary based on how many approval emails you’re currently drowning in.
