ApproveThis manages your Digidom Integration approvals.

When Document Automation Meets Approval Muscle

Let’s get real: Digitizing documents is only half the battle. What happens after Digidom scans your 200th invoice this week? Someone still needs to approve payments, verify contracts, or greenlight purchase orders. That’s where most companies faceplant – chasing down signatures, playing email tennis, and losing track of who said yes/no.

ApproveThis fixes that leaky bucket. We don’t just automate approvals; we plug directly into tools like Digidom via Zapier so your shiny new digital documents don’t get stuck in approval purgatory. Think of it as giving your digitized paperwork a GPS tracker and a turbo button.

Why This Combo Doesn’t Suck

Digidom’s great at finding needles in your paper haystack. ApproveThis? We’re the system that actually does something with those needles. Together, they solve two different but equally annoying problems:

• Digidom: "Here's your scanned invoice, good luck getting Accounting to look at it"
• ApproveThis: "Approval sent to Accounting@2:15PM, reminder sent @3:30PM, approved @4:02PM – payment scheduled."

Real-World Wins for People Who Hate Meetings

Take a mid-sized construction company we worked with. They used Digidom to scan supplier invoices but then wasted 3 days/week getting project managers to approve them. After connecting the two systems? Invoices get auto-routed based on project budgets. Under $5K? Auto-approved. Over? Goes straight to the VP’s email. Cut their “Where’s my payment?!” calls by 70%.

Use Cases That Actually Matter

1. Killing Invoice Approval Limbo

The Zap: New Digidom invoice → Create ApproveThis request → Route based on amount/vendor → Log approved payments.

Who Cares: Finance teams in manufacturing, retail, or any industry with more suppliers than sanity. Custom thresholds mean $499 expedited shipping doesn’t need VP sign-off, but $50K equipment orders do. Bonus: Approvers can OK via email without logging into Digidom or ApproveThis.

2. Legal Docs That Don’t Vanish Into Someone’s Inbox

The Zap: Digidom scans a contract → ApproveThis pings legal + department head → Parallel approvals → Auto-archive approved docs.

Who Cares: Healthcare providers dealing with vendor contracts or HR teams processing employee onboarding paperwork. Approval groups ensure both legal and the hiring manager sign off, without creating a permission spaghetti.

Setup That Doesn’t Require an IT Degree

1. Connect via Zapier – takes 4 minutes if you’ve used a toaster before.
2. Pick your Digidom trigger (new invoice/letter).
3. Map key data to ApproveThis – amount, vendor, project code.
4. Set approval rules: Who needs to sign off, in what order, with what thresholds.
5. Test with a $1 mock invoice. Celebrate not having to do this manually anymore.

Features You’ll Actually Use

Not Just Basic Approvals:
- Vacation rules: CFO out? Requests auto-forward to COO without breaking the chain.
- Calculated fields: Auto-flag invoices where shipping costs exceed 15% of order total.
- Escalation paths: Unanswered requests ping department heads after 24hrs.

Who Gets Their Time Back

Finance Teams

AP clerks: Stop playing detective with unapproved invoices. Know exactly which payments are waiting on who, with auto-reminders that don’t make you the bad guy.

Operations Managers

Shipping delays because someone forgot to approve the customs doc? Route approvals sequentially – warehouse manager first, then logistics, with a deadline that actually matters.

Procurement

New vendor contracts require legal + department head sign-off? Approval groups handle the parallel requests, with full audit trails when auditors come knocking.

The Bottom Line (No Fluff Edition)

Digidom finds your documents. ApproveThis gets them signed off. Together, they cut the “Where is this?” meetings by about 80%. And because ApproveThis approvers don’t need a Digidom login, you’re not bleeding cash on software seats for external partners or part-time approvers.
