ApproveThis manages your GoCanvas Integration approvals.

Why This Combo Works

Let’s cut to the chase: GoCanvas helps you collect field data through mobile forms. ApproveThis forces people to actually decide what to do with that data. Together? They’re like the caffeine and adrenaline shot your approval processes need.

GoCanvas users already know the drill – inspections, work orders, compliance checks get done in the field. But then those forms hit email inbox purgatory. ApproveThis drags them into the light with structured approvals. No more “I thought Steve was handling it” moments. Just clear paths from submission to resolution.

Here’s the kicker: Approvers don’t need GoCanvas licenses. Your clients, contractors, or that VP who still prints emails can approve/reject directly from their inbox. No new logins. No training. Just decisions made faster.

Real-World Uses That Actually Matter

Use Case 1: Auto-Create Approvals from Field Submissions

How it works: New GoCanvas form submission → Auto-create ApproveThis request → Get decision → Update your systems.

Who cares:

• Construction crews: Safety inspection passes get approved same-day instead of waiting for office review. Failed inspections? Automatically route to project managers with urgency flags.
• Healthcare facilities: Supply requests from nurses go straight to procurement with itemized cost calculations. No more $500 toilet paper orders slipping through.
• Retail chains: Store audit approvals happen before the regional manager even leaves the parking lot. Catch compliance issues while they’re fixable.

Use Case 2: Launch Field Work After Approval

Flip the script: Approval in ApproveThis → Auto-create GoCanvas dispatch → Field team gets instant alert.

Where it hits:

• HVAC companies: Approved maintenance requests instantly create dispatches with customer details and service history. Techs show up knowing exactly what’s broken.
• Event planners: Venue approval triggers site prep checklists. Crews get mobile forms tailored to that specific location’s requirements.
• Logistics teams: Approved freight orders auto-generate delivery manifests. Drivers get updated routes before they finish their coffee.

ApproveThis Features That Make This Work

This isn’t just about passing data between apps. These are the secret weapons:

Approval Thresholds

Auto-approve small purchases from GoCanvas forms (under $500?) while flagging bigger spends for human review. Perfect for franchise managers handling routine orders.

Vacation Delegation

Your plant manager’s on leave? Approvals automatically reroute to their second-in-command. No more stalled equipment purchases because someone’s fishing in Montana.

Calculated Fields

Turn GoCanvas form data into instant decisions. Example: If field report shows >5 safety violations, route approval directly to EHS director with high-priority alerts.

Setting This Up Without Losing Your Mind

We’ll spare you the technical jargon. Here’s the 30-second version:

1. Connect via Zapier: ApproveThis + GoCanvas play nice here.
2. Pick your trigger: “New GoCanvas submission” or “ApproveThis request created”.
3. Map key fields: Link form data to approval criteria (cost centers, project IDs, etc.).
4. Test with real data: Have a field crew submit a form. Watch the approval magic happen.

Pro tip: Start with one process – say, equipment repair requests. Get that working before automating your entire procurement workflow.

Who Gets the Biggest Win?

Operations Teams

Field data becomes actionable in hours, not days. Dispatches auto-create with all relevant details. You look like a wizard.

Finance Departments

Approval thresholds prevent budget surprises. Every PO request ties back to original field submissions. Auditors will actually smile at you.

Field Supervisors

Less time chasing approvals = more time fixing actual problems. Mobile teams get instant feedback loops instead of radio silence.
