Paperwork Can't Hide From Phone Calls Anymore
Let's cut through the corporate speak: approvals suck when they're slow, and mass communication sucks when it's manual. That's why connecting ApproveThis (your approval ninja) with DialMyCalls (your phone/text bulldozer) through Zapier is like giving your operations team jet fuel. We're talking about turning "waiting for sign-off" into "decision made, message sent, moving on" before your coffee gets cold.
Why This Combo Hits Different
ApproveThis isn't just another digital rubber stamp. It's built for companies where 12 people need to sign off on a $50 office chair purchase. DialMyCalls isn't your grandma's bulk texting app - it's what hospitals use to blast urgent updates when minutes matter. Together? You get approval chains that actually communicate decisions instead of letting them rot in inboxes.
The Nerd Stuff That Makes It Work
ApproveThis brings the brains: conditional approvals, delegation for vacationing execs, and real-time tracking that actually shows who's holding things up. DialMyCalls brings the voice (literally): 99.9% delivery rates on texts/calls, contact management that doesn't make you want to scream, and broadcast tools that work whether you're alerting 10 managers or 10,000 customers.
Real-World Uses That Don't Feel Like Corporate Fluff
1. Instant Alerts When Sh*t Gets Approved
How it works: The second someone approves/denies a request in ApproveThis > DialMyCalls fires off a text or call to whoever needs to know.
Not boring example: Construction company approves a $250K materials order > Superintendents at 12 sites get a text saying "Concrete trucks roll at 7AM - don't park in the loading zone." No more foremen calling the office every 15 minutes asking if they're cleared to work.
2. Turn Text Messages Into Approval Tickets
How it works: Incoming texts to your DialMyCalls number > Auto-create ApproveThis requests with the message details attached.
Actual useful scenario: Hospital admins get patient transfer requests via text > Creates urgent approval tickets with built-in SLA tracking. No more missed messages because someone forgot to check their "special" inbox.
3. Keep Your Contact Lists From Being a Hot Mess
How it works: New ApproveThis request comes in > Add the requester's contact info to DialMyCalls automatically.
Why this matters: Field service company gets 80+ vendor bids monthly. Every new vendor submission in ApproveThis adds them to the "Emergency Contractors" group in DialMyCalls. Next time a pipe bursts at 2AM? One broadcast text goes out to all pre-approved plumbers instead of scrambling through spreadsheets.
Department-Specific Wins
Operations Teams
Cut the "approval black hole" cycle: When warehouse managers approve overtime requests, DialMyCalls immediately texts affected crews their new shifts. No more showing up to locked facilities because someone didn't check email.
HR & Facilities
New office maintenance request approved? Automatic voice call to the vendor with work details AND a text to internal stakeholders confirming the schedule. Bonus: Use ApproveThis' calculated fields to auto-approve routine requests under $500, triggering DialMyCalls alerts without human involvement.
Finance Teams
Invoice approvals hitting thresholds? AP managers get called directly with key details - no digging through portals. Approved payments over $10K trigger texts to department heads confirming funds allocation. Denied requests auto-send compliance reminders via SMS.
Setting This Up Without Losing Your Mind
1. Zapier Account: If you're reading this, you probably have one. If not, it's the duct tape of software integrations - get it here.
2. Connect ApproveThis: Takes 90 seconds. Just need admin access to your approval workflows.
3. Hook Up DialMyCalls: Their Zapier integration uses standard API keys - no developer required.
4. Test With Real Data: Start with low-risk approvals (like internal meeting room bookings) and simple SMS alerts before going nuclear with mass calls.
The Silent Killer Feature Nobody Talks About
ApproveThis approvers don't need DialMyCalls licenses. Huge when dealing with external partners. Example: Your legal firm approves contracts in ApproveThis > Your sales team gets DialMyCalls texts to notify clients - lawyers never touch your comms tool.
When Not to Use This Combo
We're not here to BS you:
- If your team approves 2 things a month - this is overkill
- If you're still faxing purchase orders - maybe fix that first
- If "real-time communication" means yelling across the office
Ready to Stop Playing Approval Phone Tag?
This isn't about flashy tech - it's about eliminating the 37 back-and-forth emails that happen after someone finally approves something. ApproveThis handles the bureaucratic sludge, DialMyCalls shouts the results from the rooftops, and you look like the efficiency wizard who made it happen.
