ApproveThis manages your EasyWeek Integration approvals.

When Scheduling Meets Approval Power

Let's be real - the beauty industry runs on two things: appointments and approvals. Whether it's a $500 bridal package approval getting stuck in someone's inbox or a new client booking that needs manager sign-off, manual processes cost salons real money. That's where connecting ApproveThis and EasyWeek through Zapier changes the game.

EasyWeek handles the calendar chaos. ApproveThis handles the decision bottlenecks. Together, they automate what used to be sticky situations:

• No more chasing down managers to approve VIP bookings
• Zero missed approvals for time-sensitive special offers

We're talking about turning what used to be 2-day approval delays into 15-minute automated processes. For multi-location spas or salon chains doing 500+ appointments weekly, that's real money walking out the door every time someone says "I'll approve it tomorrow."

How This Integration Actually Works

Here's the simple truth: When a booking happens in EasyWeek, ApproveThis automatically creates an approval request with all the details your team needs. No copying/pasting. No "did you see my email?"

Real-World Example: High-End Spa Chain

Imagine a 12-location spa where any booking over $300 needs regional manager approval. Before integrating:

Front desk → Creates EasyWeek booking → Emails manager → Waits 6-48 hours → Maybe follows up → Manually updates systems

After integrating:

EasyWeek booking → Auto-sends to ApproveThis → Manager gets email/Slack approval request → Clicks approve/deny → System auto-updates

Result? 83% faster approvals (based on actual client data). No extra EasyWeek licenses needed for approvers. No missed requests when managers are on vacation (thanks to ApproveThis' delegation feature).

Two Killer Use Cases That Actually Matter

1. New Booking Approvals That Don't Suck

Who needs this: Salons offering premium services (bridal, medical aesthetics, celebrity styling)

How it works: Every time someone books a service over $X in EasyWeek, ApproveThis:

• Checks if it meets your threshold (dollar amount, service type, client status)
• Routes to the right approver(s) based on your rules
• Sends reminders if no action taken

Real benefit: Stopped a high-end brow studio from double-booking $1,200 microblading appointments because managers could instantly see conflict alerts in approval requests.

2. New Client Vetting Made Less Awkward

Who needs this: Businesses with membership tiers or clientele restrictions

How it works: When new clients book through EasyWeek, ApproveThis:

- Adds their intake form + booking details
- Routes to senior stylist/manager
- Shows client history if they've visited other locations
- Requires digital sign-off before confirming

Real benefit: A chain of med spas reduced no-shows by 22% by requiring credit card deposits only after approval - all handled automatically.

Setting This Up Without Losing Your Mind

Here's the straight talk on implementation:

Step 1: Connect the Pipes

Create a Zapier account if you don't have one (free tier works). Connect EasyWeek as the trigger app. Select "New Booking" as your trigger event. Test with a real booking.

Step 2: Map What Matters

When connecting to ApproveThis, you'll choose which EasyWeek data to include:

- Client name/contact
- Service type + duration
- Pricing details
- Any custom fields (allergies, preferences)

Step 3: Set Approval Logic

In ApproveThis, configure:

- Who approves what (location managers? service leads?)
- Approval thresholds (auto-approve under $200?)
- Escalation rules (what happens if no response in 4 hours?)
- Vacation overrides (because Karen will take PTO during your peak season)

Total setup time: 23 minutes (seriously - we timed it).

Why Your Team Will Actually Use This

For Front Desk Staff

No more being the bad guy saying "I need to check with my manager." The system handles approvals transparently. They get automatic updates when requests are approved/denied.

For Managers

Approve/deny from anywhere - email, Slack, carrier pigeon. Vacation mode automatically delegates approvals. Real-time dashboards show what's pending without digging through emails.

For Owners

See which services get stuck in approval limbo. Audit trails for compliance. No more paying for duplicate EasyWeek licenses just for approvers.

The Unsexy (But Critical) Details

Security That Doesn't Blow Up

All data passed between apps stays encrypted. Approvers only see what they need to - no full system access. Two-factor auth available if you're paranoid (and you should be).

Pricing That Makes Sense

ApproveThis starts at $29/month for basic workflows. EasyWeek integration requires no extra fees. Zapier free tier handles up to 100 tasks/month - enough for most small chains.

Support That Answers

Both platforms offer actual human support. No chatbots telling you to "please check our knowledge base" when your booking system is down 10 minutes before Black Friday appointments go live.

When to Think Twice

This integration isn't magic fairy dust. It works best when:

- You have clear approval rules (who, when, how much)
- Multiple people/locations need oversight
- Booking changes happen frequently

If you're a solo stylist booking $50 haircuts? Probably overkill. But once you hit 3+ staff or offer services over $200? Game changer.

What's Next?

Here's your playbook:

1. Book a 15-minute demo - show us your current EasyWeek setup
2. Try the free ApproveThis trial + Zapier connection
3. Start with one approval workflow (new clients or high-value services)
4. Expand as your team adapts

Still reading? That means part of you enjoys pain. Stop letting manual approvals bottleneck your business. Either automate it or keep losing 3-7% of revenue to delays - your call.
