ApproveThis manages your Porsline Integration approvals.

When Surveys Meet Approvals: Why This Combo Slaps

Let's get real – surveys are only as good as what you do with the data. Porsline helps you collect responses. ApproveThis helps you actually decide something with them. Together? You stop drowning in feedback and start taking action before your competitors finish their morning coffee.

Here's the dirty secret: 68% of survey data never gets used (we made that up, but it feels true). Why? Because decision-making gets stuck in email chains, Slack limbo, or "I thought you were handling it" purgatory. This integration kills that.

How It Works (Spoiler: No PhD Required)

Connect Porsline to ApproveThis via Zapier in 15 minutes flat. When someone completes your survey:

• High-priority responses trigger approval workflows automatically
• Right people get notified in their inbox – no new logins
• Decisions happen fast because approvers see all context upfront

Example: Customer complains about pricing? Sales lead + CFO get a Slack-style approval thread with the actual survey response attached. No hunting through spreadsheets.

Real Teams Using This (Without Losing Their Minds)

Marketing Teams: Stop Guessing, Start Acting

Scenario: You survey customers about a new feature idea. 80% love it, 20% hate it. Instead of endless debates:

ApproveThis auto-routes polarizing feedback to product managers and legal. Use calculated fields to flag responses with specific keywords ("too expensive", "safety issue"). Approval thresholds let junior staff greenlight 90% of requests, only escalating the messy 10%.

HR Departments: Fix Problems Before They Trend

Employee survey shows dropping morale in accounting? Normally this takes weeks to crawl up the chain. With our integration:

1. Negative sentiment triggers approval workflow for HRBP + department head
2. They review anonymized comments in ApproveThis dashboard
3. Either approve budget for team-building or escalate to execs

Bonus: Vacation delegation means approvals don't stall when someone's OOO.

Operations Crews: Kill Bottlenecks Before They Kill You

Vendor satisfaction surveys dropping? Procurement needs to renegotiate contracts – fast. Instead of waiting for monthly reports:

- Negative Porsline responses auto-create approval requests
- Attach contract terms, SLAs, and penalty clauses
- Legal + department heads vote via email in < 48 hrs

Why This Isn't Just Another Zap

Most Zapier integrations just move data. This one forces action. Key differences:

• Approvers don't need Porsline logins (huge for external clients)
• Dynamic fields show survey responses and internal context (contract values, past complaints)
• Auto-escalation when approvals stall (no more "waiting on Bob")

Setup That Doesn't Suck (We Promise)

1. Get your Porsline survey running
2. In Zapier, choose "New Porsline Response" trigger
3. Add filters if needed (only trigger on low scores, specific keywords)
4. Connect to ApproveThis "Create Request" action
5. Map survey data to approval fields (respondent info, scores, comments)
6. Set approvers and escalation rules

Pro Tip: Use ApproveThis' conditional logic to route:
- Budget-related complaints → Finance team
- Product issues → Engineering leads
- Rude responses → Legal (because Karen went nuclear)

Who Actually Benefits? (Spoiler: Everyone)

Execs Get:

- Fewer "Why didn't we know about this?!" fires
- Audit trails showing who approved what
- Real-time dashboards of active survey issues

Managers Gain:

- Control without micromanaging
- Automatic prioritization (critical vs. nice-to-have)
- Delegation that actually works (no more approval orphans)

Frontline Teams Keep:

- Less time chasing signatures
- Clear escalation paths when shit hits the fan
- Proof they followed process (CYA mode enabled)

Cool Features You'll Actually Use

Beyond basic approvals, leverage:

Calculated Fields: Auto-flag surveys where:
- NPS score drops >20% month-over-month
- Response time exceeds SLA by >15%
- Mentions competitors + "price" in same comment

Approval Thresholds:
- Auto-approve small refund requests (<$500)
- Escalate legal risks to VP immediately
- Require 3/5 approvals for high-cost changes

Vacation Coverage:
John in legal on PTO? Approvals auto-reroute to Sue without missing a beat.

When to Use This (And When to Chill)

Do This If:
- You get >100 survey responses/month
- Multiple departments need to sign off on changes
- Compliance requires paper trails
- Customers expect fast resolutions

Skip It If:
- Your "surveys" are Google Forms for lunch orders
- One person makes all decisions anyway
- You enjoy playing telephone with feedback

Bottom Line: Decisions Suck Less Now
