When Helpdesks Meet Approval Workflows
Let's cut to the chase: customer support teams hate playing telephone tag between departments. Finance won't approve refunds without three signatures. Legal takes days to review simple contract updates. Meanwhile, your Reamaze inbox fills up with frustrated customers wondering why their issues aren't resolved.
This is where connecting ApproveThis to Reamaze through Zapier changes the game. We're talking about turning support conversations into actionable approval workflows without leaving your helpdesk. No more switching tabs. No more "I'll forward this to accounting" delays. Just clean handoffs that keep customers in the loop automatically.
Why This Combo Works for Mid-Sized Companies
For teams between 50-5,000 employees, this integration solves three specific headaches:
- Approval black holes: Customer requests that disappear into department silos
- Version control nightmares: Contracts/terms getting approved via email threads
Take a 250-person SaaS company we worked with last quarter. Their support team was drowning in refund requests that needed finance approval. Through Reamaze+ApproveThis integration, they cut resolution time from 72 hours to under 4 hours. How? Automatic approval routing with real-time status updates back to the helpdesk ticket.
Real-World Use Cases That Don't Suck
1. Escalated Support = Automatic Approvals
Picture this: A VIP customer messages your team in Reamaze about a custom contract change. Your support agent shouldn't need to:
- Open ApproveThis manually
- Beg legal for review
With the integration live, creating a Reamaze conversation tagged "Contract Update" automatically:
- Generates an ApproveThis request with attached PDF
- Routes to legal team based on $ value thresholds
Who this helps: Legal teams at professional services firms tracking change orders.
2. Approval Status Updates That Don't Require Micromanaging
Ever had a finance director approve a discount request... and then the support agent misses the email? Our favorite Zap automatically posts approval decisions back to the original Reamaze thread. No more "Hey, did accounting ever get back to you?" follow-ups.
Who this helps: E-commerce support teams handling partial refunds over $500.
3. Customer-Facing Approvals Without the License Fees
Here's the kicker: External partners can approve requests via email without needing Reamaze logins. A manufacturing client uses this for supplier quality certifications - vendors get approval emails, click approve/deny, and the decision syncs back to the original Reamaze ticket.
Who this helps: Procurement teams managing vendor onboarding SLAs.
Setting This Up Without Losing Your Mind
If you can make toast, you can set this integration up:
- Connect ApproveThis and Reamaze to Zapier (3 minutes)
- Choose your trigger (New Reamaze conversation? Approved request?)
- Map custom fields (Pro tip: Use Calculated Fields for $ thresholds)
Our engineering team added conditional logic specifically for support use cases. Example: Automatically escalate requests to a manager if a Reamaze conversation gets tagged as "urgent".
Features You'll Actually Use
Beyond basic approvals, this combo unlocks:
Vacation Delegation: Legal approver OOO? Requests auto-reassign to their deputy without dropping the Reamaze thread.
Approval Groups: Route high-value refunds to a 3-person finance committee with one-click consensus in ApproveThis.
Real-Time Dashboards: See how many support tickets are stuck waiting on approvals (and which departments are bottlenecks).
Why This Isn't Just Another Integration
Most helpdesk approvals suck because:
- Approvers get lost in CC'd email chains
- There's no audit trail for compliance
ApproveThis+Reamaze fixes this by keeping all context in the original ticket. When a healthcare client needed HIPAA-compliant approval records, we built them a workflow where every approval/rejection is timestamped and tied to the Reamaze case ID.
Who Should Steal This Setup
Customer Success Teams: Automate client onboarding approvals (contracts, access requests) directly from support chats.
Finance Departments: Set $ thresholds where refunds auto-approve under $100 but require manager sign-off above.
Operations Managers: Track approval SLAs across departments with real-time dashboards.
Getting Started Without the BS
If you're using Reamaze for customer comms and have more than 20 approval requests/month, this integration pays for itself in reduced back-and-forth. Book a 15-minute demo and we'll show you:
- How to clone our pre-built Zaps
- Where to set approval thresholds specific to your industry
Or just grab a free trial and connect the Zap yourself. We won't make you talk to sales unless you want to.
The Bottom Line
Approval processes shouldn't torpedo customer satisfaction scores. By plugging ApproveThis into Reamaze via Zapier, you're essentially giving your support team a "get shit approved" button that works across departments. Less chasing, more resolving.
