ApproveThis manages your Blanket App Integration approvals.

When Approval Meets Execution

Blanket App gives restaurants, convenience stores, and grocery teams a clear roadmap for daily operations. ApproveThis ensures every critical decision gets validated by the right people. Together through Zapier, they create closed-loop processes where completed tasks automatically trigger approvals, and approved requests instantly become tracked actions. For multi-location businesses juggling compliance, inventory, and vendor management, this integration turns fragmented workflows into airtight systems.

Why This Combo Works

Blanket App excels at standardizing checklists and task execution across dispersed teams. ApproveThis adds governance without bureaucracy. The integration means:

• No more missed approvals on inventory orders or maintenance requests buried in email
• Real-time alignment between field teams completing tasks and HQ validating decisions

For a regional restaurant chain, this could mean automatic GM approval requests when a location marks their weekly food safety checklist complete. For a grocery distributor, it might trigger procurement approvals when stock levels hit reorder points.

Three Ways to Connect the Dots

1. Validate Completed Tasks Immediately

How it works: When a Blanket App checklist (e.g., "Opening Procedures" or "Vendor Delivery") is marked complete, ApproveThis instantly creates an approval request. Managers review task details like timestamps, photos, or notes directly in the approval portal.

Who needs this: Regional managers overseeing 10+ convenience stores. Instead of manually verifying each location's closing checklist, approvals auto-route based on exception flags (e.g., cash drawer variance over $50 requires district lead review).

2. Turn Approvals into Tracked Tasks

How it works: New ApproveThis requests (e.g., a $5k+ equipment repair) automatically create prioritized Blanket App tasks. Field teams see exactly what to do next, with deadlines synced to approval SLAs.

Who needs this: Facilities managers handling maintenance across 20 restaurant locations. Approved HVAC repairs become tasks with vendor instructions, while denied requests log reasons for future audits.

3. Close the Loop on Decisions

How it works: When an ApproveThis request is approved/denied, the linked Blanket App task updates with the decision and next steps. No more cross-referencing emails with task lists.

Who needs this: Grocery procurement teams. Denied vendor orders automatically flag alternate suppliers in Blanket App, while approved POs update inventory tasks with delivery ETAs.

Built for Multi-Team Workflows

Operations Teams: ApproveThis thresholds ensure routine tasks (e.g., minor repairs under $500) auto-approve, while exceptions escalate. Vacation rules prevent delays if approvers are OOO.

Finance Teams: Calculated fields in ApproveThis auto-flag requests exceeding budget (e.g., marketing spends 15% over Q2 projections). Approval groups require CFO + CMO sign-off.

Vendor Management: External suppliers receive email approvals without needing Blanket App access. Approved invoices automatically update AP tasks with payment dates.

Setting It Up Straightforward

1. Create a Zapier account (free tier works for basic workflows)
2. Connect Blanket App and ApproveThis as Zapier apps
3. Choose trigger/action pairs like:
- Trigger: "Completed List" in Blanket App → Action: "Create Request" in ApproveThis
- Trigger: "New Request" in ApproveThis → Action: "Create Task" in Blanket App
4. Map critical fields (e.g., link Blanket App checklist photos to ApproveThis request details)
5. Test with a real-world scenario (e.g., approve a mock inventory order)

The Bottom Line

For businesses where audit trails matter as much as speed, ApproveThis + Blanket App via Zapier cuts decision latency while keeping rigor. It’s not about adding more process—it’s about making existing workflows accountable without emails, spreadsheets, or missed handoffs.
