ApproveThis manages your Blueink Integration approvals.

When Paperwork Meets Progress

Let's be real: nobody got into business to play document babysitter. Yet here we are - 63% of teams waste 4+ hours weekly chasing signatures and approvals according to Gartner. That's why pairing ApproveThis's approval automation with Blueink's e-signature muscle isn't just convenient - it's survival gear for scaling companies.

Why This Combo Doesn't Suck

Blueink handles the "wet ink" part of your operations. ApproveThis handles the "who needs to sign off" logistics. Together through Zapier, they create a self-driving approval process that actually works for:

• Legal teams approving contracts without 37 email threads
• Finance squads greenlighting purchases without paper trails
• HR pushing through onboarding docs before the new hire's coffee gets cold

The kicker? Approvers only need ApproveThis access - no extra Blueink seats required. Perfect for external partners or cross-department reviews.

Real Workflows That Don't Feel Like Work

1. From Signed Doc to Approved Action in 60 Seconds

What happens: Blueink finishes document bundle → Zapier pings ApproveThis → Approval request auto-creates with doc links attached.

Who cares: Procurement teams. Imagine your vendor signs a contract at 4:55 PM Friday. Instead of waiting until Monday, ApproveThis immediately routes it to Bob in Legal and Susan in Finance via email. Both approve over dinner via their phones. PO gets cut before the wine list arrives.

2. Approval First, Paperwork Second

What happens: Someone requests approval in ApproveThis → Zapier triggers Blueink to generate the actual document bundle.

Who cares: Sales teams. Your rep closes a deal needing exec sign-off. ApproveThis routes the proposal to leadership while simultaneously prepping the contract in Blueink. Approval comes through? Blueink automatically sends the finalized doc for signatures before the prospect gets cold feet.

Features That Actually Fix Annoyances

ApproveThis brings the heavy artillery where Blueink taps out:

Vacation Mode That Doesn't Ruin Your Week

Karen from Legal is hiking the Andes? Approval tasks automatically reroute to her backup without you playing coverage coordinator.

Dollar Threshold Autopilot

$5k invoice? Auto-approve. $50k contract? Escalate to CFO. Blueink still gets the right signature, ApproveThis handles the who/when.

Math for People Who Hate Math

Dynamic fields auto-calculate discount approvals, budget impacts, or compliance ratios - then decide which approvers need involved based on actual numbers.

Setup That Won't Make You Swear at IT

1. Connect ApproveThis + Blueink via Zapier (takes 4 minutes)
2. Pick your trigger: "Bundle Complete" in Blueink or "New Request" in ApproveThis
3. Map your data fields once
4. Test with a real document

Pro tip: Start with your most painful approval process. Seeing a 3-day task resolve in 3 hours is better than any onboarding tutorial.

Department-Specific Wins

HR Teams: Onboarding Without the Migraine

New hire signs offer letter in Blueink → ApproveThis automatically routes equipment requests to IT, system access forms to Security, and desk setup orders to Facilities. All before the candidate changes their LinkedIn status.

Legal: Contract Clarity

Finalized NDA in Blueink → ApproveThis requires compliance + department head approval before sharing with external partners. No more rogue document sharing.

Finance: Invoice Jailbreak

Vendor submits signed PO in Blueink → ApproveThis auto-routes based on amount: under $1k approves instantly, over $1k goes to AP team with calculated budget impact.

Why This Isn't Just Another "Integration"

Most app pairings just move data. This combo actually changes how work happens:

Problem: Documents get signed... then lost in approval limbo.
Fix: Signed docs trigger approvals instead of hoping someone notices.

Problem: Approvals require creating documents from scratch.
Fix: Approved requests auto-generate the actual paperwork.

No-BS Next Steps

If your company's between 50-5k employees and uses Blueink:

1. Book a 12-minute demo showing your exact use case
2. Try the Zapier integration with your most broken approval process
3. Stop being a document traffic cop

ApproveThis works because it's not another tool - it's the connective tissue between what you already use. And unlike that unused project management software from 2022, this one actually gets adoption since approvers just click email links.
