ApproveThis manages your Boombirds Integration approvals.

Two Platforms, One Powerful Workflow Engine

When manual processes slow down your team, both productivity and profitability take a hit. Boombirds excels at converting chaotic operations into structured workflows, while ApproveThis adds decision-making velocity through intelligent approval automation. Together through Zapier integration, they create closed-loop processes where every action triggers the right reaction - no dropped tasks, no approval bottlenecks.

What Makes This Integration Unique

Boombirds specializes in creating step-based procedures for field teams, customer service operations, and manufacturing workflows. ApproveThis complements this by adding governance where it matters most: decision points. Where other approval tools create silos, this integration embeds authorization directly into operational workflows.

Key Capabilities When Connected

• Automatic approval triggers from Boombirds service requests
• Real-time status updates back to operational workflows
• Conditional routing based on request type or thresholds
• Audit trails spanning both execution and approval phases

Real-World Use Cases That Deliver ROI

1. Field Service Management

A plumbing company uses Boombirds to manage client service requests. When a technician submits a parts order exceeding $500, ApproveThis automatically routes it for manager approval. The service manager receives an email with job details and cost breakdown, approves directly from their inbox, and Boombirds immediately updates the work order status.

2. Client Onboarding Processes

Marketing agencies using Boombirds for client onboarding can trigger compliance approvals when collecting sensitive data. ApproveThis routes NDAs and data processing agreements to both internal legal teams and external clients via email - no additional software licenses required for external reviewers.

3. Manufacturing Change Orders

When production line adjustments appear in Boombirds workflows, ApproveThis enforces multi-department sign-offs. Quality assurance leads review first, then plant managers, with automatic escalation if any approver doesn't respond within 24 hours. All decisions log directly into the original Boombirds record.

Implementation Made Simple

Setting up the integration requires three steps in Zapier:

1. Choose your trigger in Boombirds (new service request, status change, etc.)
2. Map critical data fields to ApproveThis using calculated fields if needed
3. Configure approval rules and notifications in ApproveThis

Most teams configure their first workflow in under 20 minutes using pre-built templates. The Zapier integration handles authentication and field mapping through an intuitive visual interface.

Team-Specific Benefits

Operations Managers

Reduce process cycle times by 40-60% through automated approval routing. Real-time dashboards in both systems provide complete visibility into pending decisions without switching platforms.

Finance Teams

Enforce spending controls through approval thresholds that auto-route purchases based on amount, department, or vendor. All approved requests sync back to Boombirds with audit-ready documentation.

IT Departments

Maintain security while enabling user autonomy. Pre-approved workflows in Boombirds trigger compliant approval processes in ApproveThis, reducing shadow IT requests and help desk tickets.

Advanced Features Worth Exploring

ApproveThis adds strategic value beyond basic approvals through:

• Vacation Delegation: Maintain workflow continuity when approvers are OOO
• Dynamic Calculations: Auto-calculate ROI or compliance scores for complex requests
• Conditional Routing: Send high-risk requests to specialized approvers

Common Implementation Pitfalls

Avoid these mistakes when setting up your integration:

Don't: Overcomplicate initial workflows - start with 1-2 critical processes
Do: Use ApproveThis' test mode to validate routing logic before going live
Don't: Neglect field mapping validation between systems
Do: Leverage email approvals for external partners to minimize training needs

Getting Started

Begin with high-impact, repetitive approval processes that currently cause delays. For most organizations, this means:

1. Purchase requisitions over $X amount
2. Client contract revisions
3. Policy exception requests

ApproveThis requires no coding to set up, and your Boombirds users can continue working exactly as they do today. Approvers interact through email or a simple web portal - no need for additional Boombirds licenses unless modifying core workflows.

The Bottom Line

Combining Boombirds' operational rigor with ApproveThis' decision automation creates processes that are both efficient and compliant. Teams maintain full control while eliminating the back-and-forth emails and spreadsheet tracking that plague manual approvals.
