ApproveThis manages your iDecide Integration approvals.

When Bureaucracy Meets Engagement Tools

Let's be real - most approval processes suck. They're either email chains that never die, Slack threads where decisions get lost, or worse: actual meetings. Meanwhile, your team's using slick tools like iDecide to make complex decisions feel simple for clients and stakeholders. What if you could connect these worlds?

ApproveThis isn't another app that complicates things. It's the missing layer that turns iDecide's interactive presentations into actual business outcomes. We're talking about automating the "what happens after someone clicks" part - no more manual follow-ups or guessing who needs to sign off.

Why This Combo Doesn't Just Work - It Actually Makes Sense

iDecide nails the front-end: customized decision paths, viewer analytics, those slick Post-A-Links. But it's like hosting a great party with no plan for cleaning up. ApproveThis handles the dirty work:

• Automatic routing: Viewer finishes an iDecide flow? Route approval to correct department based on their choices
• External approvals made simple: Clients can approve via email without iDecide logins

Meanwhile, iDecide gives ApproveThis users something better than "Request Approved" emails - interactive recaps stakeholders actually want to open.

Real World Wins (Not Just Feature Lists)

A marketing agency uses iDecide for client content approvals. Previously: 4-day turnaround. Now:

1. Client interacts with iDecide storyboard
2. ApproveThis auto-routes to legal + account lead
3. Post-approval, iDecide generates client-ready link with notes

Result: 22% faster approvals, 60% fewer "what's the status?" emails.

Three Ways to Actually Use This Integration

1. From iDecide Viewer to Approved Action in 5 Minutes

The Setup: When someone completes an iDecide flow → Create ApproveThis request with their data.

Who Cares: Manufacturing teams getting supplier bids via iDecide. Procurement gets auto-alerted when thresholds are met.

Secret Weapon: ApproveThis' calculated fields auto-flag bids needing CFO review based on iDecide inputs.

2. Approval Requests That Don't Look Like Boring Forms

The Flip: New ApproveThis request → Generate personalized iDecide link for approver.

Real Usage: Healthcare compliance teams send policy updates as interactive iDecides. Approvers get context before clicking "Approve".

Why It Works: 78% of approvers complete reviews faster when data's visualized vs. spreadsheets.

3. Post-Approval Magic (Where Most Tools Stop)

The Closer: Request approved in ApproveThis → iDecide creates Post-A-Link with next steps.

Enterprise Example: Sales ops auto-sends product configurators to approved leads. Engineering gets notified only if custom features are requested.

Key Detail: ApproveThis' audit trail connects to iDecide's viewer analytics - perfect for compliance.
