ApproveThis manages your MightyForms Integration approvals.

When Form Builders Meet Approval Automation

Let's get real – most companies using form tools like MightyForms aren't just collecting cat memes. They're handling purchase requests, client onboarding docs, and vendor applications. But here's the kicker: every form submission is really just an approval request waiting to happen. That's where ApproveThis comes in like the bouncer at Club Business Process.

MightyForms nails the data collection game with its drag-and-drop forms and conditional logic. But when those submissions hit your inbox? Cue the spreadsheet shuffle, Slack pings, and "Did you see my email?" follow-ups. ApproveThis cuts through that noise by automating the entire review chain – no more herding approvers or losing requests in someone's vacation auto-reply black hole.

Why This Combo Doesn't Just Work – It Works Overtime

This integration isn't about replacing your forms. It's about weaponizing them. Think of MightyForms as your data-gathering frontline, while ApproveThis becomes the decision-making engine. Together through Zapier, they handle:

• Automatic routing: New form entry → Instant approval workflow
• Contextual reviews: Attach form responses, files, or calculations
• External collaboration: Clients/partners approve via email (no logins needed)

Take expense reports – your team submits via MightyForms, ApproveThis routes based on amount thresholds, then auto-logs approved entries in your accounting software. No more CC'ing six managers because someone forgot the approval matrix.

Real-World Workflows That Don't Require a PhD to Implement

1. The "Stop Leaving Money on the Table" Play

Use Case: Automatically convert form submissions into tracked approval requests
Who Cares: Sales ops teams drowning in discount requests
How It Rolls:

Your MightyForm captures deal specifics – customer size, requested discount %, competitor quotes. Zapier fires this to ApproveThis, which:

• Routes to Regional Director if discount >15%
• Checks deal size against quarterly quotas using calculated fields
• Slaps on automatic reminders if not approved in 48hrs

Real Talk: A manufacturing company used this to cut approval delays on custom orders by 70%. Their approvers just clicked yes/no in email between plant walkthroughs.

2. The "Rescue Mission" for Abandoned Forms

Use Case: Trigger approvals from partially completed forms
Who Cares: Marketing teams hemorrhaging leads
Why It's Clever:

When someone bails on your MightyForm (looking at you, 12-field contact forms), ApproveThis can:

• Create a "Lead Rescue" task for sales
• Attach captured data + abandonment timestamp
• Require manager approval before aggressive follow-up

Cold Hard Stats: One healthcare provider recovered 22% of abandoned patient intake forms by having coordinators review partial submissions daily.

Setup That's Simpler Than Your Morning Coffee Routine

Here's the no-BS guide to connecting these tools:

1. Zapier Setup: Create Zap → MightyForms (Trigger: New Submission) → ApproveThis (Action: Create Request)
2. Field Mapping: Drag form responses into approval request details (pro tip: use calculated fields for $ amounts)
3. Approval Rules: Set thresholds/routing in ApproveThis (e.g., >$5k goes to CFO)
4. Test Drive: Submit test form → Watch it route → Tweak as needed

Total setup time? About 15 minutes if you're slow at clicking. Less if you're caffeinated.

Department-Specific Wins That Actually Matter

HR Teams: New Hire Paperwork That Doesn't Suck

MightyForms collects I-9s and direct deposit info → ApproveThis routes for:

• IT (equipment approvals)
• Finance (salary band checks)
• Legal (NDA sign-off)

Bonus: Vacation delegation ensures approvals keep moving when managers are OOO.

Procurement Teams: Purchase Requests That Don't Require Mind Reading

Vendors submit quotes via MightyForms → ApproveThis auto-routes based on:

• Budget category (IT vs Facilities)
• Total cost thresholds
• Contract terms analysis

Pro Move: Attach vendor risk assessments using file upload fields.

Features You'll Actually Use (No Shelfware Here)

While we're bragging – here's why this integration doesn't just work, but works better:

• Email Approvals: External partners approve without logging in
• Conditional Routing: Send PTO requests >2 weeks straight to HRBP
• Real-Time Tracking: See where requests stall (looking at you, Legal)

A logistics company combined calculated fields with approval thresholds to auto-approve freight charges under $500. Their AP team stopped wanting to quit.

Bottom Line: This Isn't Just About Saying "Yes" Faster

It's about:

• Killing spreadsheet trackers
• Audit trails that don't require FBI-level investigation
• Letting managers approve from their phones between meetings

And because ApproveThis approvers don't need MightyForms logins, you're not burning seats on external partners who approve three times a year.
