ApproveThis manages your Worktual Unified Communications Integration approvals.

When Approval Processes Meet Actual Communication

Let's be real: most approval workflows suck. You've got requests buried in Slack threads, decision-makers stuck in back-to-back Zoom calls, and critical documents waiting on someone who's "out of office until next Thursday." Meanwhile, Worktual's keeping your teams talking – but talking isn't approving. That's where throwing ApproveThis into your tech stack changes the game.

ApproveThis isn't another app that demands 47 clicks to approve a $50 expense report. It's the glue between Worktual's communication power and the actual decisions your business needs to make. Think of it like adding a "decide now" button to every call recording, new user setup, or project kickoff in Worktual.

Why This Combo Doesn't Just Work – It Actually Solves Something

Worktual handles the talking. ApproveThis handles the doing. Together, they fix the three biggest headaches in mid-sized companies:

• No more "Who's supposed to approve this?" Auto-route requests based on dollar amounts, project type, or which team messed up this time.
• Stop chasing people through 3 apps – approvals happen in email or right inside Worktual meetings.
• External clients? Contractors? They approve stuff without needing a Worktual license. (Your finance team will high-five you.)

Real Workflows for Teams Who Hate Wasting Time

1. When Legal Needs to Review Meeting Recordings (But Isn't Paid by the Hour)

The Problem: Your sales team closed a deal on a Worktual call. Legal needs to approve the terms discussed. Normally, this means forwarding the recording, waiting 3 days, then sending 12 reminder emails.

The Fix: Zapier auto-triggers an ApproveThis request when Worktual saves the recording. Legal gets one email with the file + a big "APPROVE" button. They click it before their next coffee break.

Who This Helps: Compliance teams in healthcare, sales orgs closing verbal deals, anyone who's ever said "I thought YOU reviewed the recording!"

2. New Hires That Don't Take 2 Weeks to Get Email Access

The Problem: HR adds someone in Worktual. IT needs to provision access. But without a formal request, the new hire's first day is just awkwardly staring at login errors.

The Fix: New Worktual user = auto approval request to IT. ApproveThis pings the right manager based on department. Approved? Worktual gets the green light to activate accounts.

Bonus Points: Use ApproveThis' calculated fields to auto-approve standard access levels, only escalating for execs or custom permissions.

3. Approvals That Actually Happen During Meetings

The Problem: Your team discusses a vendor contract in a Worktual meeting. Great. Now someone has to "document the decision" and get signatures... which takes another week.

The Fix: During the meeting, click ApproveThis' "Create Request" right in Worktual. Decision-makers get the approval email before they've even left the virtual room. Denied? Schedule the follow-up meeting immediately through Worktual.

Setup That Doesn't Require an IT Degree

If you can send a GIF in Slack, you can set this up:

1. Connect Worktual + ApproveThis via Zapier (takes 4 minutes)
2. Pick your triggers: New meeting recordings? Call logs? User updates?
3. Set who approves what in ApproveThis (pro tip: use approval groups so the whole team isn't bothered)

Example: Marketing needs budget approval for a campaign discussed in a Worktual meeting. The recording triggers an approval to the CMO if over $5k, or auto-approves if under. No PDFs. No "per my last email."

Teams That Get Their Time Back

Finance Teams

Approve purchase requests tied to specific Worktual project channels. Thresholds auto-approve small expenses but require receipts for anything over limits. All without leaving your accounting software.

IT & Security

Every new Worktual user setup requires approval. Use conditional logic to route access requests based on role. Vacation delegation means replacements get auto-assigned if primary approvers are OOO.

Project Managers

Phase approvals happen right inside Worktual project meetings. Completed tasks in Asana? Auto-send for client sign-off via ApproveThis without another status meeting.

Features You'll Actually Use (No Bloatware Here)

ApproveThis plays nice with Worktual because it's not trying to be everything:

• Email approvals: Approvers don't need another login. Click. Done.
• Escalation rules: Stuck request? Auto-pings the manager after 24hrs.
• Audit trails: Every decision linked to the Worktual meeting where it was discussed.

The Part Where You Stop Wasting Time

If your approval process involves more than two "per my last email" follow-ups, you're doing it wrong. ApproveThis + Worktual via Zapier cuts the nonsense. Setup takes less time than your daily standup. And approvers? They don't need another app – just email or their existing Worktual login.
