Why Combine ApproveThis with Alvanda?
Modern businesses thrive when tools work together. Alvanda’s robust process management platform meets ApproveThis’s dynamic approval automation in a partnership that transforms how teams handle critical workflows. Together, they create transparency while cutting approval delays from days to minutes – without forcing stakeholders to juggle multiple systems.
Alvanda users already benefit from centralized process tracking, but adding ApproveThis introduces structured decision-making directly within those workflows. Financial controllers gain real-time oversight of spending approvals. Project managers automate milestone sign-offs. Legal teams streamline contract reviews – all while keeping teams aligned in Alvanda’s interface.
How This Integration Works
Through Zapier, Alvanda triggers approval requests in ApproveThis whenever key events occur – a new component creation, task completion, or budget adjustment. Approvers receive email notifications (no Alvanda license required) and decisions flow back into Alvanda automatically. This bi-directional sync means:
- No manual data entry between systems
- Approval logic adapts to your hierarchy (multi-level, consensus-based, or threshold-driven)
Example: A manufacturing firm creates production components in Alvanda. The integration auto-generates engineering approval requests in ApproveThis. If denied, Alvanda tasks flag design revisions. Approved? Procurement workflows trigger instantly.
Four Transformative Use Cases
1. Component Creation with Built-In Approvals
When R&D teams create new components in Alvanda, ApproveThis instantly routes them to engineering, compliance, and procurement leads. A medical device company uses this to ensure FDA compliance before prototyping – cutting 8-hour review cycles to 45-minute automated workflows.
2. Approval-Driven Task Management
New ApproveThis requests auto-generate trackable Alvanda tasks. Marketing agencies use this to link client content approvals with revision deadlines. If approval takes 3 days, the task due date adjusts automatically – no project manager intervention needed.
3. Post-Task Validation Reviews
Completed Alvanda tasks (e.g., "Vendor Onboarding") trigger ApproveThis checklists for quality assurance. A logistics firm reduced shipment errors by 22% using this combo – warehouse tasks aren’t marked "done" until approvals confirm compliance.
4. Instant Decision Execution
When ApproveThis approves a capital request, Alvanda auto-completes funding tasks and triggers payout workflows. CFOs love the audit trail: every approved dollar maps to an executed task with timestamps.
Team-Specific Benefits
Finance & Procurement
Set ApproveThis thresholds (e.g., auto-approve purchases under $5K) that sync with Alvanda’s budget trackers. AP teams process 3x more invoices monthly by eliminating manual approval routing.
Operations
Use Alvanda’s process maps with ApproveThis’s conditional logic. A restaurant chain approves new menu items only after location managers confirm ingredient availability – all within one workflow.
Marketing
Launch campaigns faster by embedding client approvals into Alvanda timelines. When ApproveThis detects client sign-off, Alvanda auto-publishes assets – no status meetings required.
IT & Compliance
Approval Groups in ApproveThis ensure SOC2 checks get reviewed by both security and legal teams. Denied requests generate Alvanda tickets with exact compliance gaps noted.
Key Features That Make It Work
ApproveThis isn’t just routing forms – these features tailor the integration:
- Calculated Fields: Auto-compute budget impacts in approval requests using Alvanda data (e.g., "This component change adds $2.8K/month to production costs")
- Vacation Delegation: Approval authority shifts automatically if Alvanda tasks show approvers are OOO
Setup in Three Steps
1. Connect via Zapier: Link your Alvanda account (Alvanda.com) to ApproveThis in Zapier’s interface.
2. Map Triggers: Choose Alvanda events (new component, task update) that should launch ApproveThis requests.
3. Configure Approval Logic: Set approvers, thresholds, and auto-actions so decisions sync back to Alvanda without manual steps.
Pro Tip: Use ApproveThis’s Email-Based Approvals for external partners. Clients can review/approve Alvanda project phases directly from Gmail without platform access.
Why This Beats Manual Processes
A construction firm using both platforms reduced change order approvals from 11 days to 26 hours. How? Alvanda tracked blueprint revisions while ApproveThis:
- Auto-routed to architects, clients, and permits office
- Escalated delays past 48 hours
- Updated Alvanda schedules upon approval
Their PMs now tackle 22% more projects quarterly – without hiring delays.
