ApproveThis manages your Tabidoo Integration approvals.

When Data Meets Decisions

Let's cut to the chase: your team's swimming in data (thanks, Tabidoo), but decisions still crawl through email chains and Slack threads. That's where ApproveThis comes in - we're the missing link between your organized information and actual decisions. Connect these two through Zapier, and suddenly your Tabidoo records become actionable approval triggers that keep projects moving while maintaining audit trails even your most skeptical CFO would love.

Why This Combo Works

Tabidoo's great at keeping your data house in order. ApproveThis? We're the bouncer at the door making sure only the right stuff gets through. Together through Zapier, they handle the full lifecycle:

• Trigger: New Tabidoo record = automatic approval request
• Action: Approved requests auto-update Tabidoo with decisions

The kicker? ApproveThis approvers don't need Tabidoo licenses. Perfect for involving clients or contractors without racking up SaaS costs.

Real-World Use Cases That Don't Suck

Procurement Teams: Stop Playing Spreadsheet Tag

Imagine your warehouse manager adds a new vendor request in Tabidoo. Zapier pings ApproveThis, which routes it to purchasing, legal, and finance based on deal size. The CFO gets email approvals with calculated tax implications right in her inbox. Approved? Tabidoo auto-updates the vendor list. Denied? Notes get logged for audit trails.

Marketing Operations: Budgets That Actually Stick

Campaign leads update Tabidoo budget sheets. ApproveThis triggers tiered approvals - team lead first, then finance if over $5k. Bonus points: Use calculated fields to show remaining budget impact before approvers even open the request.

HR Teams: Onboarding That Doesn't Haunt You

New hire form in Tabidoo? Auto-send equipment approval requests to IT, access approvals to security, and welcome package selections back to HR upon approval. Vacation delegation ensures nothing stalls when managers are OOO.

Setting Up Without the Headache

Here's the straight talk on Zapier setup:

1. Connect Tabidoo and ApproveThis in your Zapier account
2. Choose your trigger (new/edited record in Tabidoo)
3. Map critical fields to ApproveThis' request form
4. Set approval rules (thresholds, groups, etc.)
5. Optional: Add a "denied" path to flag issues in Tabidoo

Pro tip: Use Tabidoo's webhooks for real-time updates instead of polling.

Features You'll Actually Use

Approval Thresholds That Do Math For You

Connect Tabidoo's number fields to auto-approve small expenses or escalate big ones. $200 office chair? Auto-approved. $20k server upgrade? Routes straight to the CTO.

Email Approvals That Don't Get Lost

Approvers can greenlight requests directly from their inbox - no app login required. Replies get parsed automatically, so even your least tech-savvy board member stays in the loop.

Vacation Coverage That Works

Tabidoo shows who's out? ApproveThis auto-reassigns their approvals. No more "Sorry, I was OOO" delays on critical requests.

Department-Specific Wins

Finance Teams

Sync Tabidoo's budget trackers with approval workflows that enforce spending policies. Real-time calculations show remaining budget impact before approvals get signed off.

Product Teams

Prototype feedback in Tabidoo triggers phased approvals - design signoff first, engineering feasibility review second, production launch final approval.

Client Services

External stakeholders approve project changes via email while internal teams track everything in Tabidoo. No more "I thought the client approved this!" disasters.

Common Objections (And Why They're Wrong)

"We already have comments in Tabidoo!"
Cool. Now add enforceable decisions with audit trails. Comments aren't approvals.

"We'll just build it ourselves."
How'd that work for your last custom approval system? Exactly. We handle edge cases like delegated approvals and conditional routing out of the box.

Getting Started Without the BS

Pick one process - vendor approvals, content calendars, equipment requests - and run a 2-week test. Connect it through Zapier, set basic approval rules, and see how much time your team saves chasing decisions.

ApproveThis works because it's not another app to log into - it's the decision layer that turns your Tabidoo data into actions. Less busywork, more actual work.
