ApproveThis manages your Senta Integration approvals.

Lets cut to the chase: approvals suck. Theyre the soggy fries of business processes  nobody wants to deal with them, but you cant just ignore them. For accounting firms and bookkeepers using Senta, this pain is real. Client onboarding bottlenecks, overdue job approvals stuck in email threads, and partners chasing down signatures instead of focusing on high-value work.

ApproveThis fixes this by injecting structure into Sentas already-strong workflow automation. Think of it like adding traffic lights to Sentas highway  everything keeps moving, but now theres clear rules about who needs to give the green light (and when).

Why This Combo Works for Mid-Sized Accounting Teams

Sentas great at managing clients and jobs. ApproveThis is great at managing decisions. Together, they solve two big problems:

Problem 1: Senta tells you when a new client needs onboarding or a job is overdue. But then what? Cue the email chains, missed SLAs, and partners playing phone tag with clients.

Problem 2: Your team already lives in Senta. Making approvers log into another system? Thats how approvals get lost until 4:55 PM on Friday.

Heres the fix: ApproveThis handles the decision layer through Zapier, while Senta remains your single source of truth. Approvers get requests via email (no new logins), and everything auto-updates in Senta once resolved.

Real-World Use Cases (Not Just Theory)

1. Client Onboarding Without the 7-Email Shuffle

How It Works: New client added in Senta  Auto-create approval request in ApproveThis  Partners review compliance docs/engagement letters  Approved? Client auto-activates in Senta. Denied? Triggers Senta task for follow-up.

Who Cares: Firms handling 50+ new clients/month. Instead of partners digging through inboxes, ApproveThis shows every pending onboarding decision in one dashboard. Bonus: approval thresholds auto-approve low-risk clients under $5k revenue.

2. Killing Overdue Jobs Before They Blow Up

How It Works: Job goes overdue in Senta  ApproveThis pings the manager AND accounting lead via email  Either can approve deadline extensions or budget overages directly from their phone.

Who Cares: Teams managing tax season crunches or audits. Example: A 75-person firm reduced urgent escalation meetings by 40% by routing overdue job approvals through predefined workflows instead of chaotic Slack pings.

3. Post-Approval Client Setup That Doesnt Drop the Ball

How It Works: Client request approved in ApproveThis  Auto-creates fully configured Senta client profile with:
- Pre-assigned team members
- Compliance checklist
- Billing tier permissions

Who Cares: Firms with multiple service tiers (e.g., basic bookkeeping vs. full CFO services). Ensures approved clients immediately get the right setup without manual data entry.

• No more approval black holes between Senta and email

• Partners regain 5-7 hours/week previously spent on approval admin

This isnt about flashy features. Its about making Sentas workflows actually flow  with clear rules about who decides what, and when.
