ApproveThis manages your Sacscloud Integration approvals.

Why Approval Processes Need a Traffic Cop

Let’s cut to the chase: approvals suck when they’re slow, disorganized, or require chasing down Karen from accounting. Sacscloud tracks your business events and processes, while ApproveThis handles the actual decision-making. Together? They’re like giving your workflows a double shot of espresso.

Here’s the deal: Sacscloud’s API-driven system captures events and data, but it doesn’t actually make decisions. ApproveThis doesn’t just route requests – it automates who needs to sign off, when, and under what conditions. Connect them via Zapier, and you’ve got a system where events trigger approvals, approvals update records, and nobody has to manually nudge anyone.

The Nerd Stuff (That Actually Matters)

What ApproveThis Brings That Sacscloud Can’t

Sacscloud’s great at logging events, but approvals? Not its job. ApproveThis adds:

• Multi-step approvals with conditions (example: purchases over $5k auto-route to CFO)
• Email approvals for external partners (no extra Sacscloud licenses needed)
• Real-time tracking so you know exactly where requests get stuck

Where Sacscloud Fills the Gaps

ApproveThis isn’t a data warehouse. Sacscloud becomes your audit trail – every approval decision gets logged against the original event. Marketing campaign approval? Now tied directly to the campaign setup event in Sacscloud. Procurement request? Linked to the vendor onboarding process.

Real-World Uses That Don’t Require a PhD to Set Up

Use Case 1: Event Approvals That Don’t Slow Down Execution

The Problem: Your sales team uses Sacscloud to track event requests (conferences, webinars, etc.). But getting budget approval from finance takes 3 days because nobody knows who’s responsible.

The Fix: New Sacscloud event → Auto-create ApproveThis request with:

• Budget thresholds (under $10k? Auto-approve. Over? Route to CFO)
• Attendee list validation (HR gets notified if execs are scheduled during board meetings)

Who Cares: Marketing teams get faster turnarounds. Finance avoids last-minute budget surprises.

Use Case 2: Compliance Without the Paperwork Nightmare

The Problem: New vendor setups in Sacscloud require legal review, but legal only sees requests via email chains that get buried.

The Fix: Vendor creation event in Sacscloud → ApproveThis routes to:

• Legal team (contract terms)
• Procurement (vendor category checks)
• Auto-approves if all reviews pass within 48hrs

Who Cares: Operations teams reduce onboarding time from weeks to days. Legal actually knows what’s urgent.

Setting This Up Without Losing Your Mind

Step 1: In Zapier, create a new Zap with Sacscloud as the trigger (either “New Event” or “API Event” depending on your setup).

Step 2: Add ApproveThis as the action – map critical Sacscloud event data (budget, department, requester) to ApproveThis fields.

Pro Tip: Use ApproveThis’ calculated fields to auto-flag requests that need extra scrutiny. Example: If Sacscloud event type = “Conference” AND budget > $15k, require CMO approval.

Time Saver: ApproveThis’ vacation delegation means you don’t have to reconfigure workflows every time someone’s OOO.

Why Different Teams Will Actually Use This

Finance Teams

Stop playing detective. ApproveThis thresholds mean you only see requests that matter (large amounts, non-standard vendors). Sacscloud integration ensures every approved spend is automatically logged against the correct budget category.

Operations Managers

New employee onboarding in Sacscloud? Connect it to ApproveThis workflows for equipment approvals. IT gets notified to provision laptops only after HR gives the green light. No more “I thought someone else was handling it” gaps.

External Partners

Agency needs approval for a campaign change? They trigger a Sacscloud event → ApproveThis sends email approvals to your team. Partners don’t need access to Sacscloud, and you don’t get Slack pings at midnight.

The Cool Features You’ll Actually Use

Approval Thresholds: Let Sacscloud handle the data, ApproveThis handle the rules. Example: Contract renewals under $50k auto-approved, others route to legal.

Real-Time Dashboards: See Sacscloud event status and approval status in one place. Know exactly which contracts are stuck waiting for signatures.

Email Approvals: Approvers don’t need to log into Sacscloud or ApproveThis. Click “Approve” in their inbox, Sacscloud records update automatically.

No, This Isn’t Just for Tech Companies

Manufacturing Example

Equipment maintenance logged in Sacscloud triggers ApproveThis workflows for repair approvals. Maintenance chief approves via email on the factory floor. Sacscloud updates the work order timeline automatically.

Healthcare Example

Patient intake events in Sacscloud require insurance approval via ApproveThis. Case managers get SMS alerts for urgent requests. Approvals sync back to Sacscloud for compliance audits.

The Bottom Line (Because You’re Busy)

ApproveThis + Sacscloud via Zapier isn’t about flashy features – it’s about eliminating the back-and-forth that slows companies down. Requests get routed correctly the first time. Approvers can actually approve things instead of hunting for context. And everything’s documented where your team already works.
