ApproveThis manages your Fig Booking Software Integration approvals.

Why Approval Automation Matters for Booking-Driven Businesses

Service businesses using Fig Booking Software already know the pain points: last-minute booking changes, pricing disputes, and coordination gaps between front-desk teams and decision-makers. ApproveThis solves these bottlenecks by adding structured approval workflows directly into Fig's scheduling engine through Zapier. This combination turns reactive processes into proactive systems – without requiring approvers to learn new software.

How These Platforms Complement Each Other

Fig excels at client-facing operations – booking management, payment processing, and calendar synchronization. ApproveThis handles the internal governance layer, ensuring every booking-related decision follows company policies. Together through Zapier, they create closed-loop automation where:

• Fig triggers approval requests based on specific booking events
• ApproveThis routes decisions to the right people
• Approval outcomes automatically update Fig's records

This integration matters because 42% of service businesses report delayed revenue recognition due to unapproved bookings (Gartner). With ApproveThis, you enforce compliance without slowing down sales teams.

Real-World Use Cases Across Industries

1. High-Volume Salons: Approval Thresholds Prevent Overbooking

Upscale salons using Fig can set automatic approval rules in ApproveThis. Example: Any booking requesting more than 3 consecutive hours triggers manager review. Stylists keep booking freely through Fig, while owners prevent resource conflicts. Approval groups ensure multiple managers can respond via email if one is unavailable.

2. Consultancies: Client-Specific Rate Approvals

When Fig generates quotes for enterprise clients, ApproveThis can require partner sign-off on discounted rates. Calculated fields compare proposed fees against minimum profitability thresholds. Partners approve directly from Outlook/Gmail, keeping external clients unaware of internal negotiations.

3. Event Planners: Cancellation Fee Enforcement

For Fig bookings cancelled within 48 hours, ApproveThis automatically routes refund requests to finance teams with event cost calculations. This prevents revenue leakage – teams see real-time profit impact before approving exceptions.

Technical Setup Made Simple

Connecting Fig and ApproveThis takes 15 minutes through Zapier:

1. Create Zapier account (if needed)
2. Choose Fig trigger: "New Booking", "Cancelled Booking", or "New Quote"
3. Add ApproveThis action: "Create Request"
4. Map Fig booking data to ApproveThis fields
5. Test with live booking

Key advantage: Approvers only need ApproveThis email links – no Fig licenses required. This keeps costs predictable when working with external contractors or client stakeholders.

Team-Specific Benefits

Operations Managers

ApproveThis' real-time dashboard shows pending booking approvals alongside resource utilization data from Fig. Identify bottlenecks when specific staff members have too many pending requests.

Finance Teams

Auto-approve Fig bookings under $500 using monetary thresholds. Require CFO review for large contracts – with calculated fields showing lifetime client value directly in approval requests.

Sales Staff

Secured upsell authority: Reps can book premium services in Fig without waiting for manager approval, provided they stay within pre-approved package tiers defined in ApproveThis.

Beyond Basic Approvals: Advanced Features

While the Zapier integration handles core triggers, ApproveThis adds deeper control:

• Vacation Delegation: Auto-reassign Fig booking approvals during tradeshows or peak seasons
• Sequential Approvals: Require junior manager sign-off before escalating to executives
• Audit Trails: Document every decision tied to Fig bookings for compliance reports

Common Implementation Mistakes to Avoid

Don't over-engineer workflows initially. Start with your top 3 booking scenarios needing approvals. Example phases:

Phase 1: New client bookings over $1k

Phase 2: Staff shift change requests

Phase 3: Vendor service purchases

Do train teams on using ApproveThis' email interface – mobile-friendly approvals reduce delays.
