ApproveThis manages your Fiverr Workspace Integration approvals.

Integration Category: Invoices
When Freelance Chaos Meets Approval Sanity
Let's get real - managing freelance projects feels like herding cats with credit cards. You've got invoices flying in from designers in Berlin, expense reports from copywriters in Bali, and project scopes that change faster than a TikTok trend. Fiverr Workspace keeps the wheels on your freelance operations, but approvals? Those still happen in Slack threads, chaotic email chains, or worse - actual meetings.
That's where ApproveThis comes in like your favorite project manager on an espresso bender. We don't just "integrate" with Fiverr Workspace - we weaponize it. Imagine every new invoice, expense, or project scope automatically kicking off a structured approval process that actually finishes before your freelancer starts asking "Hey, did you get my last email?" for the third time.
Why This Combo Doesn't Suck
Fiverr Workspace is the control center for your freelance economy. ApproveThis is the bouncer at the door making sure nobody gets in without the right credentials. Together, they turn "Who approved this?!" moments into "Here's the audit trail" receipts.
Where Fiverr Workspace Nails It:
- Tracking billable hours until the last cent
- Managing client contracts without 17 PDF edits
- Chasing payments without feeling like a loan shark
Where ApproveThis Brings the Heat:
- Automatic approval routing based on $ amounts or project types
- Email approvals that even your technophobe CFO can handle
- Real-time tracking so you know exactly who's holding up the show
Connect them through Zapier, and you've basically installed a turbocharger on your freelance operations. No more manual handoffs between systems - just clean, documented approvals that keep projects moving and freelancers paid.
Real-World Fixes for Teams Who Hate Busywork
1. The "Why Is This Designer Charging Me for 12 Fonts?" Fix
Use Case: Auto-approve routine expenses, flag the weird ones
How It Works: Every new Fiverr Workspace expense ApproveThis checks amount against pre-set limits Approves automatically or routes to managers based on rules
Who Cares: Creative agencies drowning in $8 coffee receipts and $1200 font license requests
2. The "We Need This Live Yesterday" Client Handoff
Use Case: Instant project kickoffs after approvals
How It Works: Client approves final deliverable in ApproveThis Auto-creates Fiverr Workspace task with scope docs and deadlines
Who Cares: Web dev shops tired of clients "forgetting" what they approved
3. The "Accounting Is Ghosting Me Again" Special
Use Case: Invoice approvals that don't require accounting's personal cell number
How It Works: New Fiverr invoice Route to approvers based on client/amount Auto-update payment status when approved
Who Cares: Anyone who's ever had a freelancer call them at 3am about a late payment
Setup That Doesn't Require an IT Degree
1. Grab your Fiverr Workspace login and an ApproveThis account (free trial works)
2. Open Zapier and pick your trigger (new invoice, expense, etc.) from Fiverr
3. Choose ApproveThis as the action app
4. Map the important fields (amount, client name, project ID)
5. Test with a real transaction - try approving your next coffee run
6. Let it rip and watch 40% of your approval emails disappear overnight
Pro Tip: Use ApproveThis' calculated fields to auto-flag invoices that exceed project budgets. Because nobody should manually check if $5,000 for "miscellaneous development" was actually in scope.
Department-Specific Wins
For Finance Teams:
Approval thresholds mean Susan in AP isn't manually checking every $12.99 Canva charge. Set rules like "Auto-approve under $500 if project lead signed off" and only get pinged for the big stuff. Bonus: All approvals feed back into Fiverr Workspace for audit-ready records.
For Operations Managers:
Ever had a project stall because the legal team took 3 weeks to review a contract? Build sequential approvals into your Fiverr project templates. Legal gets first dibs, then finance, then client-facing teams. Everyone knows their turn in the batting order.
For External Clients:
Here's the kicker - clients can approve specs or invoices in ApproveThis without needing Fiverr Workspace logins. They get an email, click approve, and it automatically updates in your system. No more "I couldn't find the portal" excuses.
Not-So-Obvious Perks You'll Actually Use
- Vacation Coverage That Doesn't Require a DNA Sample: Set up delegation rules so when your head designer is at Burning Man, approvals automatically route to their second-in-command. No more digging through out-of-office replies.
- The "Cover Your Ass" Chronicles: Every approval decision gets timestamped and stored with the original Fiverr Workspace record. Client claims they didn't approve that $10k add-on? The paper trail begs to differ.
- Freelancer Onboarding That Doesn't Suck: New contractor? Their first Fiverr Workspace project automatically triggers an approval workflow for NDAs and tax docs. HR stays happy, you stay compliant.
When to Use This vs. When to Call a Meeting
Perfect For:
- Routine approvals under $5k
- Multi-department signoffs on client projects
- Compliance-heavy industries needing audit trails
Not For:
- Brainstorming session approvals (just make a damn decision)
- Company-wide policy changes (still need those all-hands)
- Anything requiring 10+ approvers (fix your governance model first)
Straight Talk for Skeptics
"But we already have Asana tasks for approvals!" Cool. How many of those tasks die in "Waiting for Review" purgatory? ApproveThis adds enforceable deadlines and escalation paths. Your PM tool stays for work management, we handle the decision enforcement.
"We use Fiverr's built-in approvals!" Great for simple yes/no decisions. Not so great when you need conditional logic ("Over $5k requires CFO approval") or want to centralize approvals across multiple tools. That's our bread and butter.
Ready to Stop Being a Human Routing Bot?
If you're still manually forwarding Fiverr Workspace invoices for approval or playing telephone between freelancers and accounting, we've got bad news - it's 2023. The fix takes about 15 minutes in Zapier and pays for itself in reclaimed sanity.
Start with our pre-built Fiverr Workspace templates or build your own rules. Either way, you'll be the person who finally fixed the "Who approved this?!" problem without turning into a micromanager.
