ApproveThis manages your Formo Integration approvals.

When Form Meets Function

Let's be real - most approval processes suck. You've got Formo capturing critical data through sleek web3 forms, but then what? Spreadsheet hell. Slack threads that go cold. Managers who "forget" to check their inbox. ApproveThis cuts through the chaos by adding structured decision-making to Formo's data collection superpowers.

Here's the deal: Formo handles the front-end magic - customizable forms, analytics, web3 integrations. ApproveThis owns the back-end grind - routing decisions to the right people, enforcing rules, keeping audit trails. Together through Zapier, they create closed-loop systems where form submissions automatically kick off approval workflows tailored to your business rules.

Why This Combo Works for Mid-Sized Companies

If you're managing 50-5,000 employees with multiple approval layers, you need solutions that scale without creating new full-time jobs. Formo gives you flexible data capture; ApproveThis gives you guardrails. Together, they prevent these common fails:

• Marketing teams launching unapproved campaigns because someone missed a Google Form response
• Finance teams manually chasing down 17 people to sign off on web3 project budgets
• HR getting stuck processing onboarding requests through 3 different disconnected systems

The kicker? Approvers only need ApproveThis access - no extra Formo licenses required. Perfect for involving external partners or cross-functional teams without bleeding SaaS budget.

Real Workflows for Real Teams

Let's break down exactly how different departments would use this integration:

Web3 Marketing Teams

Imagine your NFT drop submission form on Formo. Every entry could auto-create an approval request routing to:

• Legal (checking IP rights)
• Finance (validating payment splits)
• Community managers (assessing Discord integration)

ApproveThis' calculated fields automatically flag submissions exceeding royalty thresholds, while vacation delegation ensures campaigns don't stall because someone's at Consensus.

DAO Operations

Member proposals submitted via Formo trigger multi-stage approvals:

1. Automated checks using approval thresholds (auto-approve proposals under 5 ETH)
2. Core team review via sequential approval groups
3. Final token-based voting through integrated web3 tools

Enterprise IT Teams

Employee hardware requests through Formo get routed based on:

- Department budgets (calculated fields validate against ERP data)
- Manager approval chains
- Automatic 3-quote procurement if over $5k

Setup That Doesn't Require a CS Degree

Connecting Formo and ApproveThis takes about 15 minutes through Zapier:

Step 1: Make Friends with Zapier

Create a new Zap using Formo's "New Form Response" trigger. Pick your specific form - maybe your contract review questionnaire or budget increase request form.

Step 2: Map Fields Like a Cartographer

Connect to ApproveThis' "Create Request" action. Map critical Formo fields:

- Submission date → Due date
- Project type → Approval template
- Amount fields → Calculated approval thresholds

Step 3: Test With Real-World Scenarios

Submit test forms to verify:
- Requests appear in ApproveThis with proper routing
- Conditional logic works (e.g., high-value requests escalate to CFO)
- Email notifications deliver with correct details

Pro tip: Use ApproveThis' pre-built templates for common Formo use cases to skip 80% of setup.

Features You'll Actually Use

Beyond basic approvals, this combo unlocks:

Auto-Escalation for Slowpokes

Set deadlines in ApproveThis that:
- Auto-remind approvers
- Escalate to backups after X hours
- Auto-approve if no response (with audit trails)

Cross-Platform Visibility

Formo submitters get real-time updates in:
- Their original Formo confirmation email
- ApproveThis' tracking portal
- Slack/MS Teams via Zapier hooks

Compliance Made Less Painful

Every approval decision records:
- Full form submission snapshot
- Approval comments
- Digital signatures
- Version history

When to Use This vs. Native Tools

Formo's basic notifications work for simple acknowledgments. But when you need:

- Multiple approvers with dependencies
- Conditional routing based on submission data
- Audit trails for compliance
- Integration with non-Formo systems (ERP, payroll, etc.)

...that's when bringing in ApproveThis via Zapier pays off. It's the difference between getting a notification and having an actual process.

The Bottom Line for Decision Makers

For companies using Formo at scale:
- Reduces approval cycle time by 60-80%
- Cuts "Where's my request?" tickets by ~90%
- Provides instant visibility into bottlenecks
- Maintains compliance without micromanagement

Implementation costs? About 2 hours to set up core workflows. Licensing? ApproveThis starts at $99/month for unlimited approvers - way cheaper than building custom solutions.
