ApproveThis manages your BeSuperhuman Integration approvals.

Why Combine ApproveThis with BeSuperhuman?

Businesses thrive when tools work together. ApproveThis, an approval management platform, and BeSuperhuman, an automation tool for repetitive tasks, unlock new efficiencies when integrated via Zapier. While ApproveThis specializes in streamlining multi-step approvals, BeSuperhuman excels at handling data workflows like managing movie databases or bulk email campaigns. Together, they bridge the gap between decision-making and execution.

For example, media companies can automatically route new movie entries from BeSuperhuman to ApproveThis for compliance reviews. Marketing teams might use BeSuperhuman to generate campaign drafts, then trigger ApproveThis workflows for legal sign-off. The integration ensures that approvals aren’t bottlenecks—they’re part of a seamless process.

Key Benefits for Cross-Functional Teams

Content and Media Teams

Media agencies managing large movie databases need accuracy and speed. When BeSuperhuman retrieves new movie entries, ApproveThis can automatically launch approval workflows. Legal teams review metadata, plot summaries, or licensing details directly via email—no need to log into BeSuperhuman. Once approved, data syncs back instantly. This reduces errors in public-facing content and accelerates publishing timelines.

Marketing and Creative Teams

Marketing departments juggling campaign assets benefit from automated approvals. For instance, BeSuperhuman could generate 50 personalized email variants for an A/B test. ApproveThis routes them to stakeholders for review, using approval thresholds to auto-approve minor copy changes while escalating major revisions. Creative leads track progress in real time, avoiding endless Slack follow-ups.

Operations and Finance Teams

Procurement requests initiated in BeSuperhuman (e.g., vendor contracts) can trigger ApproveThis workflows with sequential approvals—first the department head, then finance. Calculated fields automatically flag high-budget requests for CFO review. Vacation delegation ensures deadlines aren’t missed if approvers are out.

Three Ways to Connect ApproveThis and BeSuperhuman

1. Automate Movie Data Reviews

Use Case: When BeSuperhuman imports new movie titles, ApproveThis routes them to editors for validation.
Workflow: BeSuperhuman’s “Get Movies” trigger starts a Zapier automation. ApproveThis creates a request with details like genre, runtime, and synopsis. Editors receive an email to approve or request changes. Approved entries sync back to BeSuperhuman, while rejected ones trigger revision tasks.

Ideal For: Streaming platforms, film distributors, or agencies managing catalogs with strict compliance rules.

2. Sync Approval Requests to Movie Databases

Use Case: Track every approval request as a BeSuperhuman movie entry for auditing.
Workflow: When a new request starts in ApproveThis (e.g., a budget approval), Zapier creates a draft movie entry in BeSuperhuman with metadata like requester name, date, and status. Teams add notes or attachments during reviews, maintaining a searchable audit trail.

Ideal For: Studios needing to correlate approvals with production timelines or compliance reports.

3. Auto-Publish Approved Content

Use Case: Only approved movie descriptions go live.
Workflow: When ApproveThis marks a request as approved, Zapier triggers BeSuperhuman to publish the movie entry to your CMS or CRM. Denied requests alert creators via automated Slack messages. Approval groups ensure consensus among regional managers before global updates.

Ideal For: Global brands managing localized content across multiple regions.

Setting Up the Integration

Zapier makes connecting ApproveThis and BeSuperhuman straightforward:

1. Log into your Zapier account and click “Create Zap.”
2. Choose BeSuperhuman as the trigger app. Select an event like “Get Movies” or “New Movie Entry.”
3. Connect ApproveThis as the action app. Select “Create Request” and map fields (e.g., movie title → request title).
4. Test the Zap with a sample movie entry, then activate it.

For two-way syncs, create separate Zaps for approval triggers (e.g., “When Request Is Approved, Update BeSuperhuman Entry”). Use ApproveThis’s calculated fields to auto-populate BeSuperhuman data like budget ranges or priority levels.

Why Teams Choose This Integration

No Extra Licenses for Approvers

External partners (e.g., legal counsel, clients) can approve requests via email without needing a BeSuperhuman seat. ApproveThis handles permissions internally, reducing software costs.

Real-Time Updates Without Micromanagement

Managers monitor request statuses in ApproveThis’s dashboard instead of chasing emails. Automated reminders keep workflows moving, and vacation delegation prevents delays.

Conditional Logic for Complex Workflows

Automatically route high-budget movie approvals to senior staff or escalate urgent requests after 24 hours. Configure rules once, and ApproveThis enforces them consistently.

Limitations to Consider

While powerful, the integration has boundaries. ApproveThis can’t edit BeSuperhuman entries directly—it triggers creations or updates via Zapier. Complex field mappings (e.g., merging data from multiple sources) may require custom Zapier steps. For advanced use cases, consider adding a tool like Airtable as an intermediary data layer.
