Why Bother Connecting a Habit Tracker to an Approval System?

Let’s cut through the buzzwords: combining ApproveThis with Everyday isn’t about chasing shiny objects. It’s about fixing the cracks in how teams handle repetitive decisions. Think compliance checks, policy rollouts, or even client onboarding – processes where consistency matters, but manual tracking fails.

Everyday’s strength is making habit formation visible. ApproveThis’s superpower is forcing accountability into approval chains. Together, they turn “did anyone sign off on that?” into a closed-loop system. For companies scaling past 100 employees, that’s the difference between controlled growth and chaos.

Where Everyday Stops, ApproveThis Starts

Everyday tracks whether someone did something. ApproveThis tracks whether someone approved something. That gap is where mistakes happen. Example: Your HR team uses Everyday to ensure managers complete diversity training modules. But without ApproveThis, there’s no audit trail proving leadership actually reviewed those completion rates.

Key integration wins:

  • No more approval black holes: Habits in Everyday trigger mandatory reviews in ApproveThis
  • External approvers don’t need Everyday access: Clients or contractors can approve via email without logins

Real Use Cases (Not Just Theory)

1. Compliance Checks That Don’t Rely on Hope

A healthcare provider uses Everyday to track staff completion of daily sanitation protocols. But regulators want proof of supervisor sign-off. Their Zap:

Everyday habit marked → ApproveThis sends to department head → If denied, auto-alerts compliance officer

Result: Audit-ready paper trails without manual follow-ups.

2. Client Onboarding Without the Tagbacks

A marketing agency tracks client content reviews in Everyday. ApproveThis handles client approvals via email. Their Zap:

Everyday marks draft as ready → ApproveThis pings client → Approval auto-updates project management tool

Result: No more “I thought you clicked approve!” escalations.

3. Budget Approvals That Respect Fiscal Calendars

A manufacturing team uses Everyday to enforce quarterly budget check-ins. ApproveThis adds conditional thresholds:

Everyday habit triggers request → Under $10k? Auto-approved → Over? Escalates to CFO with ROI calculator attachment

Result: Finance team skips 73% of low-value requests.

Setting This Up Without IT Hand-Holding

Zapier’s the glue here. If you can set up a Slack channel, you can connect these apps. Basic flow:

  1. Pick a trigger in Everyday (new habit, marked habit, etc.)
  2. Map key data points to ApproveThis fields (amounts, due dates, etc.)
  3. Set up approval rules in ApproveThis (who decides, escalation paths)

Pro tip: Use ApproveThis’s calculated fields to auto-flag requests needing special handling. Example: If Everyday tracks project hours, auto-calculate overtime costs and route approvals based on budget remaining.

Teams That Win With This Combo

HR & Compliance

Track training completion (Everyday) + prove leadership reviewed results (ApproveThis). Vacation delegation ensures approvals never stall during PTO.

Client-Facing Teams

Clients approve deliverables via email (no Everyday login needed). Denials auto-create corrective action habits in Everyday.

Operations

Maintenance checks logged in Everyday → approvals auto-routed based on severity. Urgent requests skip queue via approval thresholds.

What You Can’t Afford to Miss

ApproveThis isn’t just a rubber stamp tool. Key features that make this integration stick:

Email-based approvals: Approvers don’t need to learn a new system. They click approve/reject in their inbox. Works for external partners.

Real-time dashboards: See which Everyday habits are stuck in approval limbo. Export reports for quarterly reviews.

Conditional routing: Automatically send high-risk requests to legal, others to managers. Cuts approval time by 40%+.

The Bottom Line

Linking ApproveThis and Everyday isn’t about automation for its own sake. It’s about closing the loop between “task done” and “task approved” – a gap that causes audits, missed deadlines, and finger-pointing.

For teams over 50 people, this is operational hygiene. You’re already tracking actions in Everyday. Adding ApproveThis ensures someone’s accountable for verifying those actions meet standards.

FAQs

Q: Do approvers need Everyday licenses?
Nope. ApproveThis handles approvals via email. External clients never touch your Everyday account.

Q: Can we customize approval levels?
Yes. Require 3 sign-offs for high-risk items, one for routine stuff. Change rules per department.

Q: What if an approver’s on vacation?
Vacation delegation auto-reassigns requests. No more chasing out-of-office replies.
