ApproveThis manages your Sign.Plus Integration approvals.

Let’s be real: approvals suck. Documents get lost in inboxes. Legal takes three weeks to sign a vendor contract. Sales ops accidentally greenlights a discount that nukes your margins. And when you finally chase down Bob from Finance for his signature, he’s on vacation in Bali.

ApproveThis and Sign.Plus fix this by automating the handoff between getting approvals and getting signatures. No more “per my last email” or hunting down PDFs. Here’s how it works.

Why This Integration Doesn’t Just Work – It Actually Solves Problems

ApproveThis handles the decision-making. Sign.Plus handles the ink. Together via Zapier, they remove the three biggest bottlenecks in document workflows:

1. The "Who Approves This?" Black Hole
ApproveThis routes contracts, POs, or creative briefs to the right people based on rules you set. Legal only sees legal stuff. Managers approve budgets under $10K, CFO handles anything above. No more CC’ing the entire company.

2. The Signature Stampede
Once approved, Sign.Plus automatically sends the doc for signatures – no manual uploads. Track who’s signed, send reminders, and keep audit trails without spreadsheets.

3. The "Bob’s On Vacation" Effect
ApproveThis auto-reassigns approvals if someone’s OOO. Sign.Plus lets you set signer order so contracts don’t stall because the intern signed before the CEO.

Real Workflows That Don’t Make People Want to Quit

Use Case 1: Contracts That Don’t Die in Legal

A marketing agency uses ApproveThis to route client contracts. If the deal is under $50K, the account director approves. Over $50K? Automatically escalates to the VP. Once approved, Zapier sends the contract to Sign.Plus. Clients get emailed the doc, sign digitally, and the signed copy drops back into ApproveThis. No more “Hey, can you re-send that PDF?”

Use Case 2: Procurement That Doesn’t Require a PhD

A manufacturing company auto-generates POs when inventory runs low. ApproveThis routes them based on cost: team lead < $5K, procurement manager < $25K, CFO above that. Approved POs get sent via Sign.Plus to suppliers. If a supplier declines (maybe they’re out of stock), ApproveThis flags the request for alternate vendor sourcing.

Use Case 3: HR Paperwork That Doesn’t Embarrass You

An e-commerce company uses ApproveThis for employee promotions. Once HR approves the raise, Zapier triggers Sign.Plus to generate the offer letter. The manager signs first, then the employee. If the employee doesn’t sign within 48 hours, ApproveThis pings HR to follow up. No more lost offers or unsigned NDAs.

Setup: Less Time Than a Standup Meeting

1. Connect via Zapier: If you’re new to Zapier, sign up here (takes 2 minutes).

2. Pick Your Triggers: Start with “New Request in ApproveThis” or “Document Completed in Sign.Plus.”

3. Map Your Data: Attach the correct PDFs, add approver emails, set conditional rules.

4. Test It: Send a test request. If it works, stop micromanaging approvals.

Why Teams Actually Like This (No, Really)

Finance Teams

Auto-route invoices based on amount. Under $1K? Approve instantly via ApproveThis’ thresholds. Over $10K? Require two signatures. Once approved, zap the invoice to Sign.Plus for vendor payment confirmation. Late payments drop by 22% because nobody’s chasing paper checks.

Legal Teams

Standardize NDAs. ApproveThis ensures only attorneys review legal docs. Once approved, Sign.Plus handles bulk sends to 50+ signers. Track status without 27 follow-up emails. Bonus: Use ApproveThis’ audit trails when compliance comes knocking.

Operations Teams

Equipment requests get approved based on department budgets. Once approved, Sign.Plus sends rental agreements to vendors. If a vendor updates terms, decline in Sign.Plus and ApproveThis auto-creates a renegotiation task. Downtime drops because you’re not waiting on FedEx envelopes.

The Nuts and Bolts You Care About

No Extra Licenses: Approvers only need ApproveThis access – no Sign.Plus seats required. Great for clients or vendors who just need to click “approve.”

Security That Doesn’t Slow You Down: Sign.Plus offers SOC 2 compliance. ApproveThis encrypts data at rest and in transit. HIPAA and GDPR? Covered.

Mobile Approvals: Approve via email or ApproveThis’ mobile app. Sign.Plus lets you scribble signatures on your phone without fax-machine vibes.

Bottom Line: This Isn’t Just Automation

It’s about eliminating the crap that makes people hate process. Less chasing, fewer errors, no more “the system is down.”
