ApproveThis manages your Olvy Integration approvals.

When Approval Meets Action

Let’s be real – most companies treat approvals like a necessary evil. You collect feedback in Olvy, then play email tennis to get sign-offs. Meanwhile, product updates stall while someone’s manager chases down the legal team’s vacation delegate. It’s messy.

ApproveThis flips the script by adding structure to the madness. When connected to Olvy through Zapier, it creates a closed loop between customer feedback and accountable decision-making. Product teams move faster without losing oversight, operations keeps processes tight, and customers actually see their input turning into action.

Why This Combo Works

Olvy’s great at wrangling user feedback into something digestible. ApproveThis is great at getting people to actually decide what to do with it. Together, they turn “we should probably fix that” into “this goes live Thursday.”

Key benefits:

• No more approval black holes: Every piece of Olvy feedback can trigger a structured approval path
• External approvers don’t need Olvy seats: Legal, finance, or client stakeholders approve via email without logins

Example: A SaaS company gets 50 feature requests weekly in Olvy. Without automation, product managers waste hours chasing VP sign-offs. With ApproveThis integrated? Requests auto-route based on estimated dev costs (using calculated fields). Under $5k? Team lead approves. Over? CFO gets it in their inbox with one-click approval.

Real Workflows for Real Teams

1. From Feedback to Feature Approval

When Olvy detects a trending feature request (say, 20+ upvotes), ApproveThis auto-creates an approval task with:

• Cost estimates from eng
• Impact projections from product

Who wins: Product teams at scaleups (200-1k employees) drowning in feature requests. Routes high-impact ideas to the right deciders without manual triage.

2. Approval to Action Tracking

Once leadership approves a major update in ApproveThis, Olvy auto-creates a release draft with:

- Approved scope
- Stakeholder comments
- Deadline from approval conditions

Who wins: Enterprise product teams (1k-5k employees) needing audit trails. Shows exact approval chain for every shipped feature.

Setting It Up Without the Headache

Connect ApproveThis + Olvy in Zapier in three steps:

1. Pick your trigger (e.g., “New Feedback in Olvy” or “Approval Completed in ApproveThis”)
2. Set conditions (auto-route budget approvals over $X, escalate after 48hrs, etc.)
3. Test with a real request – we suggest using the office snack budget as your guinea pig

Pro tip: Use ApproveThis’ approval thresholds to auto-approve small stuff (typo fixes) and only escalate big-ticket items.

Department-Specific Wins

Product Teams

Stop being the middleman between user feedback and engineering. Set rules like:

- All bug reports with “critical” tag → immediate eng lead approval
- Feature requests with >100 votes → CTO review

Customer Success

Close the loop faster. When ApproveThis greenlights a feature, Olvy auto-updates the original feedback submitter. No more “we’re considering it” limbo.

Legal/Compliance

Review Olvy-reported issues without needing product tool access. Get emailed approval requests with context, approve/deny with one click, done.

The Unsexy Stuff That Actually Matters

We know you’re skimming, so here’s the brass tacks:

- Vacation coverage: ApproveThis auto-reassigns approvals if someone’s OOO
- Audit trails: Every Olvy update links back to its approval thread
- No license sprawl: Approvers only need ApproveThis access – no extra Olvy seats

Bottom Line

If your product team’s idea of process is “Slack whoever might know,” you’re leaving speed and accountability on the table. ApproveThis + Olvy via Zapier is how mid-sized companies punch above their weight – less herding cats, more shipping features.
