ApproveThis manages your GoTo Meeting Integration approvals.

When Two Bureaucracy Killers Walk Into a Zoom Room…

Let’s be real – nobody became a manager because they love chasing down signatures or herding cats into conference calls. Yet here we are, stuck between teams who can’t decide on meeting times and executives who treat the “approve” button like it’s made of lava. That’s why pairing ApproveThis with GoTo Meeting isn’t just nice – it’s survival mode for anyone tired of playing calendar Tetris with grown adults.

What Happens When Approval Workflows Meet Actual Humans

ApproveThis cuts through approval gridlock like a hot knife through bureaucratic butter. GoTo Meeting gets people talking without the “can you hear me?” ballet. Together? They’re the Swiss Army knife you need when:

• Your project timeline depends on getting 3 VPs to OK a client demo meeting… yesterday
• Finance needs sign-off on that all-hands offsite budget before you can book the virtual venue
• Every department thinks their “urgent” meeting should jump the queue

The magic sauce? Zapier connects them without needing your IT guy on speed dial. Zapier acts as the translator between these two systems – no coding degree required.

Real-World Scenarios That Don’t Make People Want to Quit

Use Case 1: No More “Oops, Forgot to Get Sign-Off” Meetings

The Problem: Marketing team schedules a product launch meeting with 20 external partners… before Legal reviews the NDA. Cue frantic backpedaling.

The Fix: Set up a Zap that triggers an ApproveThis workflow every time someone creates a GoTo Meeting. Legal gets an email with one-click approve/deny. Only approved meetings hit everyone’s calendars.

Who’s Cheering: Compliance officers sleeping through the night. Project managers not playing whack-a-mole with unauthorized meetings.

Use Case 2: Approval Deadlocks? Force the Conversation

The Problem: That budget review meeting request stuck in limbo because Finance VP Karen and Operations Director Bob are in a passive-aggressive standoff.

The Fix: When an ApproveThis request hits 48 hours without resolution, auto-schedule a GoTo Meeting with both parties. Now the “we need to discuss” becomes a calendar invite they can’t ignore.

Who’s Cheering: Department heads tired of playing mediator. Assistants who’d rather not fake-cry to get execs on a call.

Why This Isn’t Just Another “Integration” Buzzword

Most app partnerships are all sizzle, no steak. Here’s where this combo actually moves needles:

• External Clients Won’t Ghost You: Approvers don’t need GoTo Meeting licenses. Send them an email approval link that doesn’t require logging into yet another portal.
• Vacation Mode Isn’t a Project Killer: CFO on safari? Approval requests auto-reassign to their second-in-command. No more “waiting for Dave to return from the Serengeti.”
• Money Talks: Set approval thresholds so that $5K+ meeting budgets automatically escalate to senior leaders. Junior staff can handle routine stuff without oversight.

Department-Specific Wins (Because Silos Suck)

HR Teams: Onboarding Without the Paperwork Tsunami

New hire orientation meetings require sign-off from 4 different departments? Build a sequential approval chain in ApproveThis where each team must OK their section before the next reviews. Auto-schedule prep meetings in GoTo if any department red-flags the plan.

Sales Ops: Client Demos That Don’t Die in Legal

Every custom demo meeting needs Legal approval first. Zapier connects your CRM (where demos get booked) → ApproveThis → GoTo Meeting. No Legal sign-off? The meeting never exists. Bonus: Use calculated fields to auto-flag demos using unapproved assets.

IT Managers: Security Reviews That Aren’t Afterthoughts

Any meeting request mentioning “system migration” or “data integration” auto-triggers IT approval. Denied requests automatically schedule a security briefing in GoTo Meeting before resubmission.

Setting This Up Without Losing Your Mind

We’re not here to waste your time. Here’s the TL;DR setup:

1. Connect ApproveThis and GoTo Meeting to Zapier (10 minutes tops)
2. Pick your trigger: “New GoTo Meeting” → “Create Approval Request” OR “New Approval Request” → “Schedule GoTo Meeting”
3. Map critical fields: Meeting purpose → Approval title, Attendees → Approvers, Budget → Approval threshold
4. Test with a low-stakes meeting (like approving this article)

Pro Tip: Use ApproveThis’s conditional logic to route $50 lunch-and-learns to department heads, while $50K client summits go straight to the C-suite.

The Part Where We Tell You What to Do Next

If you’ve ever:

– Had a critical meeting delayed because someone “didn’t see the approval email”
– Wasted hours coordinating post-approval logistics
– Been cc’d on a 50-email thread about meeting permissions

…then continuing without this integration is basically professional masochism.

The Move: Register for ApproveThis, connect your GoTo Meeting account via Zapier, and start your free trial. Or if you’re the “I need to see it work” type, book a 15-minute demo where we’ll show you how to cut approval delays by 60% – no sales fluff guaranteed.
