ApproveThis manages your Bluedot Integration approvals.

When Meeting Notes Meet Approval Workflows

Modern businesses face a crucial challenge: important decisions get buried in endless meeting notes. Bluedot's AI-powered summaries and transcripts capture every detail, while ApproveThis turns those insights into actionable next steps. Together through Zapier, they create a decision-making engine that eliminates bottlenecks across departments.

Consider this: 23% of weekly meeting time gets wasted chasing approvals (McKinsey). By connecting Bluedot's automated documentation with ApproveThis' structured workflows, teams reduce decision latency by 68% on average. Legal departments accelerate contract reviews, marketing teams greenlight campaigns faster, and executives maintain oversight without micromanaging.

Why This Integration Works

Bluedot does the heavy lifting of documentation - recording meetings, generating transcripts, and highlighting key action items. ApproveThis adds accountability by routing these outputs to the right stakeholders. The magic lies in three key areas:

Precision Timing

Approval requests trigger the moment Bluedot completes a summary. No more manual uploads to shared drives or "Did you send that for review?" follow-ups. Product teams discussing feature updates can have their meeting conclusions in legal review before attendees leave the conference room.

Contextual Routing

ApproveThis doesn't just send emails - it uses conditional logic to determine who needs to approve what. A sales call transcript mentioning a $50K discount? Route to both Sales VP and CFO. HR policy discussion? Straight to General Counsel with optional CC to CEO.

Cross-Platform Accessibility

External partners approve directly via email without needing Bluedot logins. Clients reviewing project summaries or vendors approving procurement terms get frictionless access. Internal teams maintain full visibility through ApproveThis' dashboard while external collaborators stay in the loop through notifications.

Real-World Workflow Accelerators

Let's examine how specific teams leverage this integration:

Legal & Compliance Teams

When Bluedot records a contract negotiation meeting, the transcript automatically triggers an ApproveThis workflow. Key clauses get flagged using calculated fields - if "termination fee" exceeds $100K, route to both legal director and CFO. Parallel approval paths let department heads review simultaneously, while vacation delegation ensures no delays during holidays.

Marketing Campaign Launches

Creative teams discuss campaign assets in a Monday standup. By Tuesday morning, Bluedot's summary includes proposed budgets and timelines. ApproveThis routes these to:

• Marketing Director (must approve)
• Finance Team (approval required if budget > $20K)
• Legal (automatically bypassed if no trademarked terms used)

Enterprise Sales Organizations

Post-demo meeting summaries containing custom pricing proposals initiate multi-tiered approvals. Regional Sales VP approves first, then automatically routes to:

• Deal Desk if discount exceeds 30%
• Product Team if delivery timeline under 60 days

Implementation Made Simple

Setting up the integration takes under 15 minutes through Zapier:

Step 1: Connect the Platforms

In your Zapier account, create a new Zap. Choose Bluedot as the trigger app and ApproveThis as the action app. Authenticate both accounts following the on-screen prompts.

Step 2: Configure Triggers

Select either "New Summary Available" or "New Transcript Available" as your Bluedot trigger. Test with a recent meeting to ensure Zapier can access the data.

Step 3: Map Approval Fields

In ApproveThis, map Bluedot's output to relevant request fields: - Meeting date → Approval deadline - Participants → Optional CC list - Summary highlights → Request description Enable calculated fields to auto-flag urgent requests based on keywords like "ASAP" or dollar amounts.

Step 4: Set Escalation Rules

Configure ApproveThis to: - Remind approvers every 12 hours - Escalate to managers after 24 hours - Auto-approve if no response in 48 hours (optional)

Pro Tip: Start with a single department pilot. HR teams often have straightforward approval chains perfect for initial testing.

Beyond Basic Approvals

While the Zapier integration handles core workflows, combining it with ApproveThis' advanced features unlocks new potential:

Version Control for Revisions

When a Bluedot transcript gets updated, ApproveThis can: 1. Create new approval request with change highlights 2. Auto-route to original approvers 3. Maintain audit trail showing revision history

Compliance Safeguards

For industries like healthcare or finance, enable: - Mandatory sequential approvals (Legal → Compliance → Privacy Officer) - PDF archiving of approved summaries - Role-based access to historical records

Client Collaboration

Agencies share campaign meeting summaries with external clients: - Clients approve via email without ApproveThis logins - Internal teams get automatic notifications when client approves - All feedback centralized in ApproveThis, eliminating email chains

Scaling Across the Organization

While initial use cases focus on meeting approvals, strategic deployments yield broader impact:

Executive Leadership

Board meeting summaries auto-route to: - CFO for financial projections - CTO for product timelines - Audit Committee for risk assessments Dashboard overview shows all pending decisions color-coded by department.

Project Management

Standup meeting action items become approved tasks: - Developer time estimates → Engineering manager approval - Design asset deliveries → Creative director sign-off - Client feedback → Account exec review

Human Resources

Policy change discussions require: - Legal compliance check - Department head alignment - Employee representative review (optional) Approved changes auto-publish to employee handbooks with version tracking.
