ApproveThis manages your Parser Expert Integration approvals.

Let’s cut to the chase: approvals suck. They’re the traffic jam in your workflow highway, the "waiting for Steve to get back from vacation" bottleneck that makes everyone hate process. But here’s the thing – they don’t have to. When you connect ApproveThis (your approval sheriff) with Parser Expert (the data extraction ninja) through Zapier, you’re not just automating paperwork. You’re building a system where documents approve themselves… almost.
Why This Combo Hits Different
Parser Expert rips data from PDFs, invoices, contracts – you name it. ApproveThis slaps structure on approvals so decisions happen faster than a TikTok trend dies. Together? They turn "Hey, can someone check this?" into "Approved, next." No chasing people down. No lost emails. Just clean, auditable workflows that even your most process-phobic employees won’t hate.
Real Companies Getting Real Results
The Finance Team That Stopped Playing Hide-and-Seek with Invoices
Picture this: Parser Expert automatically extracts vendor details and amounts from incoming invoices. Zapier shoots that data to ApproveThis, which routes it based on amount – under $5k auto-approves, over goes to the CFO. AP clerks stop being human routers. Approval time drops from 6 days to 12 hours. The CFO actually takes a vacation. Chaos averted.
HR Actually Keeping Up with Hiring
Offer letters get parsed. ApproveThis sends them to department heads for sign-off, then automatically pushes approved docs to DocuSign. HR doesn’t drown in follow-up emails. New hires start 30% faster. Recruiters look like rockstars. Basic? Maybe. Effective? Hell yes.
Procurement Teams That Don’t Get Ghosted
Purchase orders parsed → approval requests auto-routed with vendor contracts attached. Approvers get context without digging through Sharepoint. Vendors get paid on time without 12 reminder emails. Procurement stops being the department everyone avoids at happy hour.
How This Voodoo Actually Works
Parser Expert eats your PDFs/emails/scanned docs and poops out structured data (in a good way). Zapier takes that data and tells ApproveThis: "Hey, make an approval request with these deets." ApproveThis then:
- Routes it to the right people based on your rules ($ amount, department, project phase)
- Chases slackers with automated reminders
- Logs every decision so auditors don’t give you the stink eye
And here’s the kicker: Approvers don’t need a Parser Expert login. Just send them an email link, they click approve/reject, done. No new software to learn. No extra licenses to buy. External clients? Contractors? They’ll think you’ve got your act together.
Setup That Won’t Make You Want to Swear
1. Zapier Time: Create a Zap with Parser Expert’s "New Parsed Document" trigger
2. Map the Goods: Connect extracted data fields (vendor name, amount, etc.) to ApproveThis
3. Approval Rules: Set thresholds in ApproveThis – auto-approve small stuff, escalate big-ticket items
4. Test Drive: Run a fake invoice/contract through. High-five your team when it works.
Total time? Less than a coffee break. Maintenance? Basically zero. ROI? Let’s just say you’ll wish you did this last quarter.
Teams That Win (Besides Yours)
Legal & Compliance
Contracts get parsed → approval workflows include mandatory legal review clauses. No more "Oops, we forgot to check with Legal." Automatic version tracking. Compliance isn’t a last-minute panic.
Operations Leaders
See every approval bottleneck in real dashboards. Suddenly you’re the hero who fixed the vendor onboarding logjam. Promotions happen.
External Partners
Clients approve statements of work via email without logging into your systems. Vendors get paid faster. Everyone thinks you’re efficient. You let them think that.
But Wait, There’s More (Not a Infomercial)
ApproveThis isn’t just a one-trick approval pony. Add these to your workflow cocktail:
- Vacation Delegation: Karen in accounting is out? Requests auto-reroute. No stalled approvals.
- Calculated Fields: Auto-calculate budget impacts during approval. Math happens while you sleep.
- Cross-Team Workflows: Require sign-offs from both IT and Procurement? Yeah, it can handle that mess.
Common Objections (And Why They’re Lame)
"We already have approval processes."
Cool. How many hours are you spending chasing people? How many errors from manual data entry? Exactly.
"Our documents are too complex."
Parser Expert handles tables, handwritten notes, weird formats. We’ve seen it. It’ll manage.
"We don’t have IT bandwidth."
Zapier + these tools = no coding. If you can set up a Netflix account, you can do this.
Bottom Line: This Isn’t About Software
It’s about making approval processes so smooth that people stop complaining about bureaucracy. It’s about turning "Did you get my approval request?" into "It’s already done." And honestly? It’s about looking like the person who finally fixed the crap everyone else just complained about.
