ApproveThis manages your Aliaddo Integration approvals.

When Spreadsheets Won’t Cut It Anymore

Let’s be real – if your finance team is still running approval processes through email chains or (god forbid) paper forms, you’re not just wasting time. You’re risking errors that hit your bottom line. Aliaddo handles the accounting heavy lifting, but when you bolt on ApproveThis’ approval automation through Zapier, you get something better: a system that actually prevents bottlenecks instead of creating them.

Picture this: sales orders auto-trigger approval chains the second they hit Aliaddo. Vendor invoices get reviewed by the right people before payment runs. New client onboarding doesn’t stall because someone’s OOO. That’s the reality when you connect these two platforms.

Why This Combo Works (When Other Tools Don’t)

Aliaddo’s good at what it does – managing contacts, invoices, products. But approvals? That’s where things get sticky. ApproveThis doesn’t just “integrate.” It acts like a traffic cop for your financial processes:

• No more license headaches: Approvers only need ApproveThis access – crucial when dealing with external clients or cross-department reviews
• Smart routing: Automatically escalate high-value invoices or reroute approvals when team members are on leave
• Real-time visibility: See exactly where every request is stuck, without digging through Aliaddo’s logs

We’ve seen manufacturing companies cut purchase order approval times from 72 hours to 4. E-commerce brands finally get a handle on their sales order validations. Here’s how they’re doing it.

Four Ways This Integration Actually Solves Problems

1. New Client Onboarding That Doesn’t Embarrass You

When a new contact drops into Aliaddo, ApproveThis can fire off validation checks to:

• Verify tax IDs with accounting
• Confirm contract terms with legal
• Check credit limits with sales ops

Real impact: A consulting firm used this to slash client onboarding from 2 weeks to 3 days by auto-triggering parallel approvals.

2. Invoice Approvals That Don’t Miss Deadlines

Here’s where most accounting teams bleed time. Connect Aliaddo invoices to ApproveThis’ conditional thresholds:

Example: Invoices under $5k auto-approve. Over that? Route through department heads with calculated fields showing budget impact. Approved? Zapier pushes it back to Aliaddo for payment.

Real impact: One logistics company eliminated 12,000 manual approval emails/year using this exact flow.

3. Sales Orders That Don’t Require Babysitting

New Aliaddo sales order → ApproveThis checks:

• Inventory levels against ordered quantities
• Customer payment history
• Special pricing approvals

If anything’s fishy, it routes to the right approver with context. Clean order? Ships immediately.

Real impact: A wholesale distributor reduced order fulfillment errors by 68% using this guardrail.

4. Product Launches That Don’t Get Stuck in Committee

When ApproveThis greenlights a new product, Zapier auto-creates it in Aliaddo with:

• Pre-validated SKUs
• Approved supplier costs
• Compliance checkmarks

No more back-and-forth between procurement and product teams. One beverage company cut product setup time by 40%.

Setting This Up Without Losing Your Mind

You’re not here for a Zapier tutorial, but here’s the gist:

1. Connect Aliaddo + ApproveThis in Zapier (takes 2 minutes)
2. Pick your trigger (new contact, invoice, etc.)
3. Map Aliaddo fields to ApproveThis’ approval templates
4. Set escalation rules if approvals stall

Pro tip: Use ApproveThis’ calculated fields to auto-flag requests needing special attention. Example: If a sales order exceeds 30% of a customer’s usual volume, require manager approval.

Who Actually Benefits From This?

Finance Teams

Stop being the approval police. Let automatic thresholds handle routine invoices. Only get pinged for exceptions. Bonus: Audit trails are automatically generated.

Sales Ops

Deal approvals happen in hours, not days. Custom workflows ensure pricing exceptions get proper oversight without slowing down reps.

Procurement

New vendor requests auto-check against approved supplier lists. Non-compliant requests get kicked back instantly.

Execs

Finally get visibility into approval bottlenecks. Real-time dashboards show where processes stall – no more guessing.

This Isn’t Magic – It’s Just Smarter Workflows

We’re not saying this will solve all your problems. But if you’re:

• Chasing approvals across 3+ systems
• Drowning in “Did you review this?” emails
• Missing discounts because invoices stall

…then connecting ApproveThis to Aliaddo via Zapier isn’t just convenient – it’s damage control.

Approval groups mean multiple eyes see critical requests. Vacation delegation stops OOO messages from derailing timelines. And because approvers don’t need Aliaddo licenses, you can loop in external partners without budget fights.

Ready to Stop Being a Human Router?

This isn’t about flashy tech. It’s about eliminating the approval delays that make your team look slow and your business inefficient. ApproveThis + Aliaddo via Zapier works because it’s not another tool – it’s the glue between tools you already use.
