Let’s cut to the chase: approvals suck. They’re the traffic jam in your workflow highway, the “waiting for Godot” moment of modern business. But what if you could make approvals… less terrible? Actually efficient? Maybe even borderline painless? That’s where smashing ApproveThis and Chanty together via Zapier comes in – like giving your processes a shot of espresso without the jitters.
Why This Combo Works Like Duct Tape and WD-40
ApproveThis is the approval ninja you wish you hired yesterday. It cuts through red tape with automated workflows, real-time tracking, and logic that actually makes sense (no PhD required). Chanty? It’s where your team actually talks – the watercooler, the war room, and the “oh crap” panic channel rolled into one. Together, they fix the two biggest approval headaches: nobody knows what’s stuck and everyone’s waiting on someone else.
The Nuts and Bolts of Not Screwing Up Approvals
Here’s the dirty secret: most approval tools just digitize the same old crap. ApproveThis actually changes the game with:
- Approval thresholds that auto-approve small fries ($50 office chair? Greenlit) and escalate the big stuff ($5k conference budget? Let’s wake up the CFO)
- Vacation delegation that doesn’t require 17 emails to figure out who’s covering for Karen in accounting
- Calculated fields that do the math so you don’t have to (Yes, $250 x 12 months actually equals $3k – shocking)
Chanty brings this all into the spaces where work actually happens. No more “I didn’t see the email” excuses – approvals live right next to the daily chatter.
Real-World Scenarios That Don’t Make People Want to Quit
1. The “Stop Asking Me for Permission to Buy Pens” Playbook
Use Case: Auto-create ApproveThis requests when someone starts a Chanty convo about purchasing.
Who Cares: Procurement teams drowning in “Can we get more Post-its?” messages.
How It Works: New Chanty conversation → Zapier triggers ApproveThis request → Finance team gets structured form with actual numbers instead of chat chaos.
Secret Sauce: Approval thresholds auto-approve small purchases. No more Slack avalanges about $20 reimbursements.
2. The “Why Is This Sales Deal Stuck?” Fix
Use Case: Post approved contracts to Chanty public channels automatically.
Who Cares: Sales ops tired of playing phone tag about signed deals.
How It Works: ApproveThis greenlights contract → Zapier drops final terms in Chanty → Legal/Sales/Support all see what’s live without 12 forwarded emails.
Bonus Points: Use calculated fields to surface commission amounts right in the approval – because nothing motivates like visible math.
3. The “New Hire Setup That Doesn’t Take 3 Weeks” Hack
Use Case: Start equipment approvals when tasks get assigned in Chanty.
Who Cares: HR teams where onboarding checklists go to die.
How It Works: “Set up laptop” task assigned → ApproveThis pings IT with exact specs → Approved request triggers auto-order → Chanty gets update when gear ships.
Pro Move: Vacation delegation ensures approvals keep moving even if IT’s out – no more waiting for Bob from networking to get back from Vegas.
Setting This Up Without Calling Your IT Guy
Here’s the beauty part: If you can make toast, you can connect these tools. Zapier acts as the middleman that doesn’t take a cut:
- Pick your trigger (New Chanty message, task assignment, etc.)
- Choose the ApproveThis action (Create request, update status, etc.)
- Test with something low-stakes (like approving meme usage in slides)
Whole thing takes 15 minutes. Less time than your last standup meeting.
Why Your CFO Won’t Hate This
ApproveThis doesn’t make you buy seats for every approver. Client needs to sign off on a proposal? Just add their email – no new license required. Legal wants to review NDAs? They get a link, not an invoice. This matters when you’re dealing with:
- External vendors who shouldn’t see your internal chat
- Contractors who come and go
- Execs who only approve big-ticket items
Teams That Stop Dragging Their Feet
Marketing: Approve campaign budgets before the creative team goes rogue on production costs.
Operations: Greenlight inventory orders without playing phone tag with warehouse managers.
IT: Automate software purchase approvals based on security protocols – no more shadow IT surprises.
The Bottom Line (Because Time Is Money)
Combining ApproveThis and Chanty isn’t about adding another tool – it’s about fixing the approval black holes that cost you hours every week. We’re talking:
• 83% faster approvals (actual client number – but who’s counting?)
• 60% fewer “Did you see my request?” follow-ups
• 100% less teeth-gnashing when someone forgets to CC the right person
No More “Approval Amnesia”
ApproveThis keeps a paper trail that doesn’t suck. Every decision, comment, and delay gets logged. Chanty integrations make sure the right people see updates without drowning in notifications. It’s like having an auditor that actually helps instead of just pointing fingers.
Ready to Stop Being a Human Routing Bot?
If you’re still manually shepherding approvals between email, chat, and spreadsheets – congrats, it’s 2024. Time to upgrade. Sign up for ApproveThis, connect it to Chanty via Zapier, and actually get some work done between meetings.
Or keep doing it the old way. We hear carrier pigeons are making a comeback.
