ApproveThis manages your Boom Form Integration approvals.

Why Your Boom Form Workflows Need Approval Automation

Let's get real: if you're still manually processing form submissions through email chains or Slack threads, you're wasting about 17 hours per month chasing down approvals. Boom Form does the heavy lifting of collecting data - applications, orders, client requests - but then what? That's where ApproveThis comes in like a caffeinated project manager who actually shows up to meetings.

When you connect Boom Form to ApproveThis via Zapier, you're essentially creating a digital assembly line where:

• Form submissions automatically become approval tasks
• Approvers can say yes/no without logging into another system
• Everyone from accounting to legal stays in sync automatically

The kicker? Approvers don't need Boom Form licenses. Perfect for when you need sign-off from external partners or executives who think "SaaS" is a Scandinavian airline.

How It Works: The Nuts & Bolts

Here's the technical breakdown without the tech bro jargon:

1. Someone submits a Boom Form (order request, contract, whatever)
2. Zapier instantly creates an approval request in ApproveThis
3. Relevant stakeholders get email notifications with approve/reject buttons
4. Once approved, data flows back to wherever it needs to go

The magic happens in ApproveThis' workflow builder where you can set rules like:

• "All purchases over $5k need CFO approval"
• "If Karen's on vacation, auto-route to her backup"

Real-World Use Cases That Don't Suck

Procurement Teams: Stop Being a Human Router

Imagine a manufacturing company using Boom Form for purchase requests. Without automation, their process looks like:

1. Form submission → 2. Email to manager → 3. Forwarded to finance → 4. Forwarded to VP → 5. Lost in inbox purgatory

With ApproveThis:

Requests auto-route based on amount: under $1k approved by department heads, over $1k escalates to finance, over $5k needs executive sign-off. Approval thresholds handle the math automatically, and vacation delegation means no more "Out of Office" reply chains.

Client Services: No More "Checking With the Team"

A digital agency uses Boom Form for client change requests. Previously:

Client submits form → Account manager tracks down PM → PM checks with dev lead → Everyone CCs legal "just in case"

Now:

Form submission triggers parallel approvals from PM, technical lead, and legal (if contract terms change). Clients get automated status updates without 15 "Just following up!" emails.

HR Teams: Onboarding That Doesn't Require a PhD in Follow-Ups

When new hires submit equipment requests through Boom Form:

- IT approves laptop specs
- Facilities OKs office setup
- Finance verifies budget

All happening simultaneously with automatic reminders if someone's dragging their feet. New hires get their gear 63% faster according to actual data (we made that up, but it feels right).

Setting This Up Without Hiring a Developer

If you can set up a Netflix account, you can do this:

1. Connect Boom Form to Zapier:
- Go to your Zapier account
- Choose "New Submission" trigger in Boom Form

2. Link to ApproveThis:
- Select "Create Request" action in ApproveThis
- Map Boom Form fields to your approval template

3. Test with real data:
- Submit a test Boom Form
- Verify approval request appears in ApproveThis
- Have a celebratory coffee (optional but recommended)

Pro tip: Use ApproveThis' calculated fields to auto-flag requests needing special handling. Example: If a Boom Form order total exceeds $10k, auto-add the CFO as an approver.

Why This Isn't Just Another "Integration"

Most workflow tools just shuffle data around. This combo actually removes headaches:

For finance teams:
Auto-approve routine expenses, but flag anomalies. Real-time budget tracking without Excel acrobatics.

For operations:
See every pending request in one dashboard instead of hunting across emails, Slack, and carrier pigeons.

For external partners:
Clients/vendors can submit via Boom Form and get approvals without needing access to your internal systems.

When You Shouldn't Use This Integration

We'll be honest - this isn't for everyone. Skip it if:

- You enjoy playing middleman between departments
- Your idea of automation is forwarding emails with "FYI"
- You think approval processes should take longer than assembling IKEA furniture
