The Approval-Task Management Power Play

Let’s cut to the chase: approvals suck when they’re stuck in email threads or lost between apps. Chekhub’s great at keeping teams organized with checklists and task tracking. ApproveThis? It’s the muscle that gets decisions made without the endless follow-ups. Together? They’re like that work duo that actually gets shit done before lunch.

Here’s why this integration matters for companies with 50-5,000 employees:

  • No more approval black holes: Tasks in Chekhub automatically trigger approval workflows, and vice versa
  • External approvers don’t need Chekhub seats: Clients or execs can approve via email without logins

We’re talking about turning what used to be days of “Did you see my request?” into hours of actual work getting greenlit. Not sexy, but neither are payroll errors – and you still want those handled right.

Real-World Wins for Actual Businesses

This isn’t hypothetical “increase productivity” fluff. Here’s how specific teams benefit:

1. Quality Control Teams in Manufacturing

Picture this: Your maintenance crew completes a safety checklist in Chekhub after inspecting equipment. Instead of waiting for a manager to stumble upon the report, ApproveThis:

  • Auto-creates an approval request with conditional routing (e.g., escalates to plant director if any red flags)
  • Updates Chekhub tickets with approval status and next steps

Result: That faulty conveyor belt gets flagged and approved for repair 62% faster. Because nobody wants to explain why production halted over a missed email.

2. Marketing Agencies Managing Client Work

Client submits a new campaign brief through Chekhub? ApproveThis triggers a multi-step approval:

  • Internal creative director reviews scope
  • Automated budget check using ApproveThis’ calculated fields
  • Final sign-off sent to client via email (no Chekhub login needed)

Bonus: If the client’s MIA, vacation delegation automatically routes to their second-in-command. No more holding up the entire project because someone’s hiking in the Andes.

Setting Up the Handshake Between Systems

Here’s how to connect Chekhub and ApproveThis in under 15 minutes using Zapier:

  1. Trigger: New Chekhub ticket template created →
  2. Action: ApproveThis auto-generates approval request with relevant data
  3. Bonus: Set approval thresholds – under $500? Auto-approve. Over? Route to CFO.

Or flip it:

  1. Trigger: New approval request in ApproveThis →
  2. Action: Chekhub creates tracked ticket with due dates
  3. Bonus: Use ApproveThis’ real-time tracking to update Chekhub ticket status automatically

Pro tip: Start with one workflow (like client content approvals) before scaling to company-wide processes.

Why This Isn’t Just Another Integration

Most app integrations just shuffle data. This combo actually changes how teams operate:

For Operations Teams

Approval thresholds mean routine purchases (office supplies, replacement parts) get auto-approved while big spends still get human eyes. Chekhub tickets automatically update with approval status, killing the “Is this approved?” follow-up meetings.

For External Collaborators

Contractors using Chekhub checklists can trigger approvals in ApproveThis without your team needing to grant them full app access. Clients approve via email while you maintain audit trails.

For Finance Departments

ApproveThis’ calculated fields automatically check Chekhub ticket data against budget limits before routing for approvals. Over-budget? Escalate immediately instead of catching it post-mortem.

Beyond the Basics: Pro Features You’ll Actually Use

While the core integration solves 80% of problems, these combos handle the edge cases:

Vacation Delegation + Task Reassignment

When your plant manager’s OOO, ApproveThis automatically reassigns approvals to their deputy while Chekhub updates task ownership. No dropped balls during summer Fridays.

Calculated Fields Meet Conditional Logic

Example: If a Chekhub maintenance ticket includes “safety issue” tags, ApproveThis can:

  • Bypass normal approval chains
  • Require immediate sign-off from EHS lead
  • Update Chekhub with compliance timestamps

Who Should Steal This Setup Immediately

If your company does any of these, stop reading and go set this up:

Field Service Companies

Techs complete Chekhub checklists on-site → ApproveThis routes approvals for parts orders or extra labor hours → Accounting gets pre-approved invoices. Slashes billing disputes by 40%.

Healthcare Providers

Patient intake checklists in Chekhub trigger HIPAA-compliant approval workflows for tests or specialist referrals. Audit trails built-in, compliance officers sleep better.

Software Developers

QA teams log bugs via Chekhub → ApproveThis routes priority approvals → Jira tickets auto-create with severity levels. Cuts release delays from approval limbo.

The Bottom Line: Approval Processes That Don’t Annoy Everyone

Combining ApproveThis with Chekhub isn’t about flashy features – it’s about eliminating the crap that makes people hate process-driven work. No more:

  • Chasing down approvers who “didn’t see the email”
  • Manually updating multiple systems
  • Guessing where a request stands

It’s operational maturity without the corporate BS. For teams that want processes that actually work instead of just looking good on an org chart.

Next Steps for Non-Masochists

If you’re still manually bridging approvals and task management:

  1. Grab an ApproveThis trial (takes 3 minutes)
  2. Connect to Chekhub via Zapier using the templates above
  3. Pick one high-friction process to automate this week

Or book a 15-minute demo to see how manufacturers/agencies/hospitals are using this combo to actually hit their SLAs.

Pro tip: Bring your most annoying approval bottleneck to the demo. We live for this stuff.
