ApproveThis manages your Autenti e-Signature Integration approvals.

When Approvals Meet Signatures

Let’s be real – nobody gets excited about approval processes. But when slow sign-offs delay contracts, purchases, or client deliverables, suddenly everyone cares. That’s where pairing ApproveThis (your approval sheriff) with Autenti e-Signature (the digital notary) turns bureaucratic gridlock into a well-oiled machine.

Think of it this way: ApproveThis handles the "who said yes" part – routing requests, chasing dawdlers, enforcing rules. Autenti handles the "make it legally binding" part. Together, they’re like Batman and Robin for paperwork, but with less spandex and more actual results.

Why This Combo Works for Mid-Sized to Enterprise Teams

Companies between 50-5,000 employees hit a sweet spot: enough complexity to need structure, but not enough red tape to move like glaciers. Here’s where the integration shines:

No More Approval Black Holes

Legal signs the contract, but who approved the terms? Finance processed the invoice, but where’s the PO approval? Connecting approvals to signatures means every signed doc traces back to its "yes" – no more guessing games.

External Clients Don’t Need Another Login

ApproveThis approvers can OK things via email – no Autenti license needed. Send the contract for internal approvals first, then Autenti takes over for client signatures. Clients only touch what they need to.

Kill the Copy-Paste Shuffle

Approval details auto-fill signature docs. No more rekeying data from that approved vendor form into the Autenti contract template. Fewer errors, less mind-numbing busywork.

Real-World Workflows That Don’t Suck

1. Contracts That Don’t Ghost You

The Problem: Legal sends a sales contract for signatures… but the payment terms weren’t approved by Finance. Now you’re redoing the whole doc.

The Fix: Use ApproveThis to route the contract terms internally first. Once Finance, Legal, and Sales Ops approve, Zapier triggers Autenti to send the final doc for client e-signature. No more "Oops, forgot the approval" backtracking.

Who This Helps: Legal teams at SaaS companies, procurement departments dealing with vendor contracts.

2. Purchase Orders That Actually Arrive On Time

The Problem: Your team approved the $25K software purchase, but the vendor invoice is MIA. Or worse – someone approved a $30K invoice without checking the PO.

The Fix: Set ApproveThis thresholds – auto-approve POs under $5K, escalate bigger ones. Once approved, Autenti auto-generates the PO doc with terms, sends for vendor e-signature. Approval and signature records stay synced.

Who This Helps: Finance teams, IT departments managing software subscriptions.

3. HR Onboarding That Doesn’t Haunt You

The Problem: New hire’s offer letter gets signed… but nobody approved the salary bump. Now you’re explaining to Payroll why things don’t match.

The Fix: ApproveThis routes compensation packages internally first. Once HR, the hiring manager, and Finance approve, Autenti sends the offer letter. Signed offer = pre-approved salary in the system.

Who This Helps: HR teams in scaling companies, agencies hiring freelancers.

Setting This Up Without Losing Your Mind

Zapier’s the middleman here – no coding needed. Basic flow:

1. Connect the Apps: In Zapier, link ApproveThis and Autenti. Takes 2 minutes if you have admin access to both.
2. Pick Your Trigger: Like "When Autenti doc is signed" → "Create ApproveThis request" for post-signature reviews. Or "When ApproveThis request is approved" → "Start Autenti signing process."
3. Map the Data: Tell Zapier which approval fields populate the Autenti doc. Pro tip: Use ApproveThis’ calculated fields for auto-filled totals or dates.

Most teams get their first Zap live in under an hour. Start with one workflow (like contract approvals), then expand.

Features You’ll Actually Use

Approval Thresholds = Less Micromanaging

Set rules like "Contracts under $50K auto-approve if Legal signs off." ApproveThis handles the grunt work, Autenti handles the signing. Managers only get pinged for big stuff.

Vacation Delegation Saves Relationships

When your CFO is snorkeling in Bali, ApproveThis auto-reassigns their approvals. No more holding up signatures because one person’s OOO.

Real-Time Tracking = Fewer Status Meetings

See if the contract’s stuck in approval (ApproveThis dashboard) or signature limbo (Autenti audit trail). Bonus: Clients can’t claim "We never got it" – you’ve got logs.

Why This Isn’t Just Another Integration

Most e-signature tools bolt on basic approvals. But when your process needs multiple stakeholders, conditional logic, or audit trails, you need a specialist. ApproveThis adds structure; Autenti adds legality. Together, they cover the messy middle ground between "We should do this" and "It’s actually done."

Plus, let’s be honest – your legal team won’t let you use some random e-signature tool. Autenti’s e-IDAS compliance keeps them happy. ApproveThis keeps everyone else from cutting corners.

Getting Started (Without the BS)

If your approval processes involve more than two people and the word "compliance" comes up in meetings:

• Test drive ApproveThis with their free trial
• Book a 15-minute demo to see the Autenti integration live

No need to boil the ocean – start with one high-friction workflow (contracts, POs, HR docs) and expand from there.

Bottom Line

Approvals and signatures are the yin and yang of getting shit done. ApproveThis + Autenti via Zapier just makes them work better together. Less chasing, fewer errors, more actual results. And honestly? That’s the least annoying way to fix your process.
