ApproveThis manages your tl;dv Integration approvals.

When Approval Meets Actionable Meeting Notes

Let's cut to the chase: meetings create work, and work needs approvals. But chasing down sign-offs for meeting transcripts or recorded action items? That's where teams get stuck in endless email chains and version control nightmares. ApproveThis and tl;dv fix this by turning meeting outcomes into trackable approval workflows - no babysitting required.

Here's why this combo works: tl;dv automatically records, transcribes, and highlights key moments from Zoom/Google Meet calls. ApproveThis then grabs those outputs and routes them through your existing approval chains. Legal needs to vet a client call transcript? Finance must approve budget discussions? It happens where the work actually gets done.

The kicker? Approvers don't need tl;dv licenses. They just click approve/reject in their email or ApproveThis dashboard. No new logins, no extra seats - perfect for cross-team collabs or external partners.

Three Ways This Integration Cuts Through the Noise

1. Instant Review for Critical Meeting Notes

When your sales team highlights a pricing concession in tl;dv, that note needs legal/finance approval before being shared with prospects. With this Zapier integration:

• New tl;dv note → Auto-creates ApproveThis request
• Routes to correct approvers based on deal size or client type
• Locks down note sharing until approved

Real-world impact: A SaaS company reduced deal delays by 68% by automating approval of sales call concessions.

2. Transcripts That Actually Get Reviewed

Compliance teams hate chasing down meeting transcripts. The integration auto-triggers an approval workflow whenever tl;dv generates a transcript. Approvers get:

• Direct link to transcript + timestamped highlights
• Side-by-side comparison with previous versions
• One-click approval with comment requirements

Example: A healthcare provider eliminated HIPAA compliance risks by ensuring all patient-related meeting transcripts get mandatory legal review within 24 hours.

3. No More "Who Approved That Recording?"

HR teams use this to control access to sensitive all-hands recordings. Every new tl;dv recording auto-generates an approval request that:

- Validates recording content against company policies
- Requires C-suite sign-off for all-employee broadcasts
- Auto-publishes to intranet only after approval

Actual result: A tech startup prevented 3 internal leaks last quarter by gatekeeping recording access through mandatory approvals.

Setting This Up Without the Headache

Connect ApproveThis and tl;dv via Zapier in 15 minutes flat:

1. In Zapier, choose tl;dv's "New Note" or "New Recording" trigger
2. Select ApproveThis' "Create Request" action
3. Map tl;dv's output (transcript URLs, highlights) to ApproveThis fields
4. Set approval rules: thresholds, escalations, required comments

Pro tip: Use ApproveThis' calculated fields to auto-route requests. Example: If tl;dv transcript contains "NDA", route to legal + auto-add 2-day SLA.

Why Your Teams Will Actually Use This

Legal/Compliance

Stop playing transcript whack-a-mole. Every client call recording gets auto-sent for review with context: deal size, involved teams, highlighted risks. Vacation delegation means no approval bottlenecks when counsel is OOO.

Sales Leaders

Deal desk approvals happen where the conversation actually occurred. ApproveThis pulls tl;dv snippets showing exactly what was promised to prospects. Conditional thresholds auto-approve small discounts but escalate big asks to VPs.

HR/IT

Control sensitive all-hands or layoff meeting recordings. Ensure only approved summaries are shared company-wide. Use approval timelines as audit trails during compliance checks.

Project Managers

Meeting action items die in email. Now, tl;dv highlights become approved tasks in Asana/Jira via ApproveThis' Zapier connections. No more "Was this agreed to?" retro meetings.

The Nuts and Bolts You Care About

Cost control: Approvers don't need tl;dv seats. They interact solely through ApproveThis or email. External clients? Add them as guest approvers at no extra cost.

Security: ApproveThis keeps permissions in sync with your existing SSO/Active Directory. tl;dv recordings stay encrypted until approval releases them.

Audit trails: Every approved/denied request logs who approved what, when, and why. Export reports by team, date, or request type for compliance.

Scale play: Start with one workflow (e.g. sales concessions). Clone successful setups to other teams using ApproveThis' template library.

Bottom Line: Meetings Shouldn't Create More Work

tl;dv captures what happened. ApproveThis ensures the right people vet and act on it. Together, they turn meeting outputs into accountable next steps - without the manual chasing.

This isn't about adding another tool. It's about closing the loop between conversation and action. Either you control the approval chaos, or it controls you.
