Why Approval Workflows Matter for Partnerships
Let’s cut to the chase: partnerships move fast, but approvals move slow. That disconnect costs mid-sized companies real money. Partnero helps you manage partners like a pro, while ApproveThis cuts through the approval gridlock. Together? You get deals moving faster than your legal team can say "terms and conditions."
What Happens When You Connect the Dots
Partnero tracks every handshake deal and formal partnership. ApproveThis handles the "yes/no/maybe" chain of command. Connect them through Zapier, and you’ve got an automation powerhouse that:
- Triggers approval requests based on real partner activity
- Syncs decisions back to Partnero without manual data entry
No more chasing down approvers. No more spreadsheet roulette. Just clean records and faster deal cycles.
Real-World Use Cases That Don’t Suck
1. Automate Partner Onboarding Like You Mean It
Picture this: A new partner signs up in Partnero. Before your team even finishes their coffee, ApproveThis pings the right managers for approval. Finance gets payment terms, legal sees the contract specifics, and nobody’s stuck playing email tag.
Who needs this: Marketing agencies approving affiliate partners. SaaS companies vetting integration partners. Any business that scales through partnerships without wanting to scale their approval headaches.
2. Transaction Approvals That Actually Keep Up
High-value partnership payout? Custom commission structure? When Partnero logs the transaction, ApproveThis automatically routes it based on your rules. CFO wants anything over $50K on their desk? Done. Regional managers handle their territory’s deals? Easy.
Pro move: Use ApproveThis’ calculated fields to auto-flag transactions that need extra scrutiny. Commission percentage too high? Payout timing sus? The system catches it before humans even notice.
3. Keep Partner Records Fresh Without the Grunt Work
Approved a partner tier upgrade in ApproveThis? That update flows back to Partnero before the approval email hits your inbox. Denied a sketchy renewal? Their status changes automatically. No more "I thought someone else handled that" moments.
Setup That Won’t Make You Rage-Quit
Connect ApproveThis and Partnero in 3 steps even your least techy employee can handle:
- Create a Zapier account (if you don’t have one)
- Pick your trigger in Partnero (new partner, transaction, etc.)
- Set the action in ApproveThis (create request/update record)
Bonus points: Use ApproveThis’ email approvals so external partners can sign off without needing a Partnero login. Their legal team approves the contract terms directly from Outlook? Yes, and it still syncs back to your system.
Department-Specific Wins
Finance Teams
Auto-route partnership payouts based on amount and risk level. Set approval thresholds so small commissions auto-approve while big checks get eyeballed. Vacation delegation means no more payment delays when your controller’s on leave.
Partner Managers
Stop babysitting every approval step. Get notified only when partners hit snags. Use real-time tracking to give partners updates without digging through 12 systems.
Legal & Compliance
Build conditional workflows that force high-risk partnerships through extra checks. All docs stay attached to the approval record – no more “I can’t find the latest contract” nonsense.
Why This Isn’t Just Another Integration
Most approval tools treat every request the same. ApproveThis actually gets how partnerships work:
- Approval groups that match your partner tiers (gold/silver/bronze gets different treatment)
- Conditional logic that knows when to loop in regional directors vs HQ
- Real-time dashboards that show partner status without logging into 5 apps
Plus, approvers only need ApproveThis access – no extra Partnero licenses required. Perfect for external partners or matrixed orgs where everyone uses different tools.
No-BS Next Steps
If your partnership deals get stuck in approval purgatory:
1. Grab an ApproveThis trial
2. Connect it to Partnero via Zapier (takes 15 minutes)
3. Automate your first approval workflow
Or book a 20-minute demo and we’ll show you how other partnership teams cut approval times by 60%+. Either way, stop letting manual processes bottleneck your partner revenue.
Wait, Does This Actually Work?
Let’s get specific. A cybersecurity company used this integration to:
- Automatically route new reseller partners through compliance checks
- Approve deal registrations in 4 hours instead of 4 days
- Slash accounting errors on partner payouts by 75%
Their secret sauce? Approval thresholds that auto-approve small deals but flag unusual patterns. Calculated fields that check for margin compliance. And all of it tied directly into their Partnero data.
No magic. Just smart automation that respects how partnerships actually work.
Your Move
Approval bottlenecks aren’t just annoying – they cost real money in delayed deals and missed quotas. With ApproveThis and Partnero talking through Zapier, you fix the approval black hole without rebuilding your entire tech stack.
Start free or book a personalized walkthrough. Either way, you’ll see why companies between 200-5,000 employees keep making this their secret weapon for partnership scaling.
