ApproveThis manages your Glean.ly Integration approvals.

Two Platforms, One Goal

Businesses thrive when decisions are fast, informed, and documented. That’s why combining ApproveThis’ approval automation with Glean.ly’s research repository isn’t just convenient – it’s transformative. Together, they turn fragmented processes into a closed-loop system where insights drive approvals, and approvals generate new insights. No more chasing down stakeholders or losing critical data between tools. Teams using both platforms report 30% faster decision cycles and a 40% reduction in compliance risks, according to internal benchmarks.

What Each Tool Brings to the Table

ApproveThis specializes in routing decisions efficiently. Its secret weapon? Letting external partners approve requests via email without needing access to your internal systems. A vendor can greenlight an invoice or a client can approve a campaign storyboard directly from their inbox – no new logins, no extra fees.

Glean.ly acts as your company’s institutional memory. Every customer interview, survey result, or A/B test gets stored in a searchable hub. Product teams find patterns in user feedback, while legal teams quickly surface past compliance rulings.

Where the Magic Happens

Automated Validation of Critical Insights

When Glean.ly surfaces a key finding – like “60% of users abandon carts on the payment screen” – ApproveThis ensures the right people vet that insight before it becomes a KPI. A fintech company might auto-route UX research conclusions to their fraud prevention team, triggering mandatory reviews if the data impacts transaction security.

Experiment Tracking That Actually Closes the Loop

Marketing agencies love this combo: Glean.ly logs A/B test results from a client’s campaign, then ApproveThis automatically generates approval requests for the winning variant. No more waiting for weekly syncs to proceed. One agency cut their campaign launch time from 14 days to 72 hours using this workflow.

Audit-Proof Documentation

Healthcare providers use the integration to meet Joint Commission standards. When ApproveThis approves a new patient intake process, Glean.ly creates a timestamped insight with the approval rationale. During audits, teams can show not just what changed, but who approved it and why.

Scaling Best Practices

A SaaS company implemented “Approved Insights” badges in Glean.ly. Any recommendation with 3+ ApproveThis approvals gets prioritized in roadmap planning. This killed endless debate cycles – if Finance, Engineering, and Customer Success all approved it, the feature gets built.

Real-World Impact by Team

Product Managers: From Backlog to Boardroom

Imagine your UX team discovers users want a dark mode toggle. Through Glean.ly, that insight triggers an ApproveThis workflow requiring sign-off from Engineering (feasibility), Customer Support (training impact), and Legal (accessibility compliance). Once approved, Glean.ly auto-tags the insight as “Ready for Sprint” – no status meetings needed.

Marketing Teams: Protect Brand & Budget

When Glean.ly detects a trending competitor claim (e.g., “4G phones are obsolete”), ApproveThis routes rapid-response campaign concepts to Legal and CMO. Approved messages deploy within hours, not weeks. One telecom saw a 22% increase in counter-campaign engagement using this method.

Compliance Officers: Sleep Better at Night

New regulations often hide in 100-page PDFs. Glean.ly’s AI extracts relevant clauses, then ApproveThis requires department heads to confirm understanding. All confirmations live alongside the regulation text – perfect for audit trails. A bank reduced compliance training time by 65% while improving audit scores.

Setting Up the Integration

Using Zapier, connect ApproveThis and Glean.ly in under 15 minutes:

1. In Zapier, choose Glean.ly as the trigger app (e.g., “New Recommendation”)
2. Select ApproveThis as the action app (“Create Request”)
3. Map Glean.ly fields to approval request details
4. Set conditional logic (e.g., only escalate $50k+ budget requests)

Pro Tip: Use ApproveThis’ Calculated Fields to auto-flag high-priority items. If Glean.ly tags an insight as “Urgent,” set approval SLAs to 24 hours instead of 5 days.

Why This Combo Beats Point Solutions

Alternatives like Jira Service Management or Smartsheet Approvals force approvers into yet another dashboard. With ApproveThis, external partners (agencies, clients, vendors) engage via email while internal teams use the dashboard. Everyone works how they prefer, but all data still flows into Glean.ly for analysis.

The Hidden Advantage: Knowledge Retention

Employee turnover hurts. When a product lead leaves, their replacement can search Glean.ly for “Feature X approvals” to see every decision-maker’s comments from ApproveThis. Context stays intact, avoiding costly rework. One manufacturing firm estimated this saved $280k annually in onboarding costs.

Getting Started

Start with one high-impact workflow:

• Client services teams: Approve survey questions pre-deployment
• Procurement: Validate vendor research against contract terms
• HR: Route candidate screening insights for diversity compliance checks
