ApproveThis manages your Boulevard Integration approvals.

When Scheduling Meets Sign-Offs

Let's get real - most service businesses run on two currencies: time and permission. Boulevard nails the time part with appointment scheduling that actually works for humans. ApproveThis handles the permission piece without making you play corporate telephone. Together? They're like espresso for your operations - suddenly everything moves faster without the jitters.

Think about that $500 facial upgrade a regular client just booked online. Without this integration, your front desk is chasing down managers via Slack while the clock ticks. With it? The moment that appointment hits Boulevard, ApproveThis automatically pings the right approver's email. One click later, the upgrade's confirmed and the esthetician gets a updated service note. No panic, no lost revenue.

Why This Combo Doesn't Suck

Boulevard's great at what it does - client management, scheduling, POS. But here's the rub: service businesses live in the gray area between "booked" and "confirmed." That's where ApproveThis comes in clutch:

• No more license juggling: Your vendors or franchisees can approve orders in Boulevard without needing full access
• Actual real-time updates: When an approval happens, Boulevard's calendar and client cards update automatically
• Paper trail that doesn't suck: Every approval decision lives in both systems automatically

Take inventory orders. Boulevard tracks what's needed, ApproveThis handles getting sign-offs from three different managers across locations. When someone denies a request? Both systems know instantly so you're not waiting on a backordered item that'll piss off clients.

Real World Stuff That Actually Works

1. VIP Appointments That Don't Crash Your System

High-end spas and med clinics love this one. When a client books any service over $1k in Boulevard:

1. ApproveThis automatically checks the client's purchase history
2. Routes to sales manager if it's a first-time big spender
3. Pings the lead therapist if it's a regular

Why it matters: That fancy dermatology clinic down the street? They stopped double-booking laser treatments because senior staff now auto-approve regulars while flagging new clients for consultation.

2. Block Time Without Losing Your Mind

Here's the fix for businesses that keep missing approval deadlines:

Whenever an ApproveThis request needs legal review (like contract changes), it automatically blocks 30min in Boulevard for your GM to handle it. No more "I'll get to it later" that turns into a client escalation.

Cool factor: The approval request includes key details in the calendar block description. Click the Boulevard event, see exactly what needs reviewing.

3. Closing Out Without Closing Up Shop

When a Boulevard order completes, ApproveThis can:

• Auto-approve tips under 20%
• Flag anything over $500 for manager review
• Cross-check against client purchase history for fraud patterns

Real results: One chain of massage studios cut end-of-day closing from 45 minutes to 12 by auto-approving 83% of transactions.

Setup That Won't Make You Hate Tech

If you can order DoorDash, you can do this:

1. Create a Zapier account (they have a free tier)
2. Connect Boulevard as trigger (we like "New Appointment" or "Order Completed")
3. Choose ApproveThis as action ("Create Request")
4. Map these fields at minimum:
   - Client name/ID
   - Service total
   - Any custom Boulevard tags you use

Pro tip: Use ApproveThis' calculated fields to auto-approve repeat clients. If someone's spent over $5k lifetime? Skip the manager ping.

Who Actually Benefits

Operations Teams

Cut approval delays from days to hours. Real example: A blowout bar chain reduced stockout incidents by 60% by linking Boulevard's inventory alerts to ApproveThis purchase orders.

Finance Nerds

Get visibility without micromanaging. All approval activity syncs to Boulevard's notes section, so your QuickBooks exports actually make sense.

Client Services

Stop being the messenger. When approvals happen automatically, your staff can actually focus on clients instead of chasing down signatures.

Features You'll Use (No Fluff)

Email Approvals That Don't Get Lost

Approvers get a clean email with approve/deny buttons. No login required. Denials require a quick reason that auto-syncs to Boulevard's client notes.

Vacation Coverage That Works

When your GM is OOO, ApproveThis automatically reroutes their approvals to the assistant manager. Boulevard shows the delegate's name in the calendar event.

Thresholds for Your Sanity

Auto-approve discounts up to 15%, anything higher goes to district managers. Boulevard applies the discount immediately once approved.

No Brainer Next Steps

Look - if you're using Boulevard, you already get the importance of smooth operations. Adding ApproveThis isn't about more software, it's about finally making approval processes suck less.

Free option: Try a ApproveThis trial with Zapier's free plan. Connect one workflow (like new client deposits) and see how it feels.

Smart move: Book a 15-min demo where we'll show how other Boulevard users cut approval delays by 70%+.

Either way, stop letting manual approvals bottleneck your business. You didn't invest in Boulevard to play approval whack-a-mole.
