ApproveThis manages your Áskell Integration approvals.

When Payments Meet Approvals: No More Middle Managers Playing Messenger

Let’s be real: nothing kills momentum faster than chasing down approvals across three Slack channels and a spreadsheet. Especially when money’s involved. That’s why pairing ApproveThis (your approval sheriff) with Áskell (the subscription wrangler) isn’t just smart—it’s survival mode for teams scaling past 50 employees.

Áskell handles the dirty work of recurring payments and subscription chaos. ApproveThis slaps structure on your “Hey, can someone sign off on this?” culture. Together? They automate the gatekeeping so finance doesn’t become the bottleneck and sales doesn’t promise discounts that never get approved.

Why This Combo Doesn’t Suck

Most “integrations” are just digital duct tape. This one’s different because:

• Approvers don’t need Áskell licenses. Your CFO’s external accountant can approve $50K charges without learning a new tool.
• Payment terms actually get enforced. Custom thresholds in ApproveThis mean the $10/month plan gets auto-approved, while enterprise deals route to the right ego… erm, executive.
• Subscriptions don’t ghost you. Renewals trigger approval checks so you’re not paying for that “temporary” Zoom upgrade from 2022.

Real Sh*t You Can Automate Today

1. Customer Onboarding That Doesn’t Require a Psychic

The Problem: Sales teams overpromise. Finance under-delivers. New customers get stuck in approval purgatory.

The Fix: When Áskell detects a new customer (Áskell’s core strength), ApproveThis automatically:

• Routes contract terms to legal
• Sends discount requests to the VP of Sales
• Pings the client’s account manager for final sign-off

Who Cares: SaaS companies drowning in custom deals. Agencies with client-specific payment terms. Basically anyone who’s ever had a deal stall because “the comptroller is at a golf tournament.”

2. Subscription Renewals That Don’t Surprise Accounting

The Problem: Auto-renewals are great until you’re paying for 500 unused seats because someone forgot to cancel.

The Fix: Áskell’s renewal trigger + ApproveThis’ calculated fields = automatic approval requests showing usage stats, cost projections, and which department’s budget this should hit.

Who Cares: Scaling startups where every dollar counts. Enterprises where department heads fight over cost allocations like hyenas over a carcass.

3. Instant (But Controlled) Customer Creation

The Problem: Your SDRs are creating Áskell accounts for leads that haven’t signed contracts yet. Chaos ensues.

The Fix: ApproveThis becomes the bouncer. New approval request? Only after it’s approved does Áskell create the customer record. Plus, you can auto-attach the signed proposal PDF from the approval for audit trails.

Setup in Under 4 Minutes (We Timed It)

1. Zapier is the glue. If you can use a toaster, you can build this Zap.
2. Connect Áskell’s triggers: New Customer, Renewed Subscription, etc.
3. Map fields to ApproveThis: Deal value, client type, whatever matters.
4. Set approval rules: Who needs to sign off? What’s the $$ threshold?
5. Test with a fake $1,000,000 deal to see if your CEO actually pays attention.

Department-Specific Wins

Finance Teams

Stop being the “bad guys.” Set approval thresholds so routine renewals under $5K auto-approve. Escalate big-ticket items with one click. Bonus: ApproveThis’ audit trails make SOX compliance slightly less soul-crushing.

Operations

Your job is putting out fires, not chasing Karen from Legal. Vacation delegation in ApproveThis means approvals don’t stall when someone’s off-grid. And calculated fields auto-flag subscriptions that exceed usage benchmarks.

Customer Success

Clients hate “waiting on internal approvals” excuses. Real-time tracking lets you say “John in Accounting is reviewing this now” instead of “Soon, we promise!”

When to Call BS on Other Tools

Yes, Áskell has basic approval features. But let’s be honest: they’re built for payment nerds, not cross-functional teams. ApproveThis adds what’s missing:

- Conditional Logic: Enterprise deal? Route to CRO. Discount over 20%? Legal must review.
- Email Approvals: Because making execs log into another portal is career-limiting.
- Escalation Paths: If an approver ghosts for 48 hours, auto-ping their manager.

The Bottom Line

If you’re using Áskell, you’re probably handling subscriptions at scale. Which means manual approvals are either slowing you down or creating financial risks. ApproveThis isn’t another tool—it’s the control layer that lets Áskell do its job without humans screwing it up.
