ApproveThis manages your FormCan Integration approvals.

Let's be real: approvals suck. They're the traffic jam in your workflow highway. Someone submits a form, it gets lost in email purgatory, three managers debate it over Slack, and by the time anything gets signed off, the project's already late. Enter ApproveThis and FormCan - the tag team that actually makes approvals feel less like herding cats.

Why This Combo Works Like a Wrench on a Stuck Bolt

FormCan's slick forms collect exactly what you need. ApproveThis slaps structure on your approval chaos. Zapier stitches them together so tight that your CFO will finally stop asking "Why does everything take so long?" Here's the kicker:

• Form data becomes approval fuel: Every submission automatically fires up the right approval chain
• No more license headaches: Approvers click "yes" or "no" from their inbox - no new logins required

The Nuts and Bolts of Not Screwing Up Approvals

We're talking about companies that can't afford to have purchase orders stuck in someone's vacation inbox. Mid-market teams need guardrails, not red tape. This integration gives you:

Instant Workflow Triggering

When your sales team submits a FormCan request for client swag, ApproveThis immediately routes it through Legal (for compliance), Finance (for budget check), and the warehouse manager (because someone's gotta ship it). All before the sales rep finishes their coffee.

Two-Way Street Data Flow

Approved a marketing campaign request? That "yes" automatically updates the original FormCan submission with approval timestamps and comments. Denied an inventory purchase? The form gets tagged accordingly so procurement knows to renegotiate with vendors.

Real Teams Actually Using This (Without Losing Their Minds)

Procurement Teams: From 3 Days to 3 Hours

Manufacturing companies run purchase requests through FormCan. The integration triggers:

1. Auto-approval for orders under $5k (using ApproveThis thresholds)
2. Escalation to department heads for specialty equipment
3. Direct PO generation in SAP once fully approved

Result: 62% faster order processing last quarter for a heavy machinery client.

HR Onboarding That Doesn't Make New Hires Quit

New hire forms in FormCan kick off parallel approvals:

• IT for equipment requests
• Facilities for desk assignments
• Legal for NDA sign-off

All while HR tracks everything in ApproveThis' dashboard. No more "Did you get my laptop request?" emails.

Field Service Operations That Actually Move

Technicians submit repair reports via FormCan. ApproveThis routes:

- High-cost parts to regional managers
- Safety incidents to compliance teams
- Client billing details to accounting

All before the truck leaves the job site. One plumbing company reduced invoice disputes by 40% using this setup.

Setting This Up Without Calling IT

If you can make a sandwich, you can connect these tools:

1. Create a Zapier account (free tier works)
2. Pick FormCan's "New Submission" trigger
3. Map form fields to ApproveThis' request template
4. Test with a $0.01 test submission (we won't judge)

Whole process takes about 12 minutes. Less time than it takes to get a DM reply from your sysadmin.

Why This Beats Building Custom Workflows

Sure, you could pay consultants $200/hr to Frankenstein something in-house. Or you could use:

Approval Thresholds That Make Sense

Set it so anything under $10k auto-approves with a manager's sign-off. Over $10k? CFO gets involved automatically. FormCan captures the numbers, ApproveThis handles the hierarchy.

Delegation That Doesn't Require a PhD

When your head of engineering is at DEF CON, approvals automatically shift to their deputy. No broken chains. No frantic Slack searches for backup approvers.

The Quiet Killer Feature Nobody Talks About

Calculated fields. Example:

A FormCan submission for marketing spend calculates:
- Total budget remaining (live from your ERP)
- Compliance score based on vendor history
- Estimated ROI from previous campaigns

ApproveThis uses these numbers to either:
a) Auto-approve
b) Route for manual review
c) Flag for legal scrutiny

All before the CMO even sees the request.

Who Should Steal This Setup Immediately

- Healthcare: Patient intake forms → compliance approvals
- Construction: Material requests → safety reviews
- Education: Field trip forms → principal sign-off
- Retail: POP displays → regional manager OK
