When No-Code Meets No-BS Approvals
Let’s get real: building mobile apps with GoodBarber is stupid easy. Managing the approvals behind those apps? Not so much. That’s where ApproveThis comes in – like a bouncer for your decision-making process. We’re talking about connecting your slick no-code app builder to an approval system that doesn’t make you want to throw your phone across the room.
GoodBarber helps you create native iOS/Android apps without developers. ApproveThis handles the messy human part – getting stakeholders to actually make decisions. Together? They turn “I’ll get back to you” into “Done. What’s next?”
Why This Combo Doesn’t Suck
Most approval tools act like needy exes – constant check-ins, confusing status updates, the whole “did you see my email?” dance. Our Zapier integration with GoodBarber works more like a well-oiled machine:
- Zero license headaches: Approvers don’t need GoodBarber logins. Great for clients, contractors, or that CMO who still uses AOL.
- Actual real-time tracking: See where requests die in real time. No more “I thought YOU approved it!” meetings.
- Auto-pilot mode: Set rules so basic approvals happen before your coffee gets cold.
For teams shipping mobile apps, this means less herding cats and more launching features.
Use Cases That Don’t Make Us Want to Cry
1. Subscription Onboarding That Doesn’t Ghost Users
The Problem: New subscribers sign up in GoodBarber → Sales team misses the alert → Prospect cools off → Revenue disappears.
The Fix: Zapier triggers ApproveThis the second someone subscribes. Legal approves T&C changes, Finance greenlights payment terms – all before the user closes your app.
Real World Example: A fitness app company uses this to approve free trial extensions. Result? 23% fewer drop-offs during onboarding.
2. Internal App Permissions That Don’t Take Forever
The Problem: HR wants a new employee app module → IT sits on the request → New hires get confused → HR floods your Slack.
The Fix: Approved feature requests in ApproveThis auto-create internal GoodBarber subscriptions. IT, Legal, and department heads approve in parallel – no more approval ping-pong.
Pro Tip: Use Approval Thresholds to auto-OK small updates (like changing cafeteria menus) while flagging major changes (new data collection features).
3. Prospect Evaluations That Aren’t Stuck in Email Hell
The Problem: Sales finds hot lead → Can’t get pricing approved → Lead goes cold → Everyone blames each other.
The Fix: New GoodBarber prospects kick off approval chains in ApproveThis. Sales ops, product, and execs review in sequence with deadlines. Bonus: Calculated Fields auto-apply discount rules based on deal size.
Cool Factor: Vacation Delegation means approvals keep moving even when your VP is at Burning Man.
Setting This Up Without Losing Your Mind
1. Create a Zapier account (takes 2 minutes)
2. Connect GoodBarber as your trigger app
3. Pick an ApprovalThis template (we’ve got pre-baked ones)
4. Test with real data (pro tip: use your CEO’s info first – gets IT moving faster)
Typical setup time: 18 minutes. Time saved per week: About 4 hours. Not bad.
Who Actually Cares About This?
Product Teams
Approve feature rollouts faster than your devs can say “sprint backlog.” Use conditional logic to route bug fix approvals to QA while sending new feature requests straight to execs.
Marketing Squads
Launch promo apps without waiting for Legal’s 3-week email turnaround. Bonus: Track exactly who approved that cringey push notification.
Operations Managers
Auto-approve routine app updates (menu changes, schedule tweaks) while flagging compliance-related changes. Your audit trail thanks you.
Why This Beats Spreadsheets and Prayer
Let’s say you’re managing 12 client apps in GoodBarber. Without ApproveThis, you’re probably:
- Forwarding emails until someone responds
- Updating 14 different spreadsheets
- Playing phone tag with external partners
With the integration? Approval requests live in one place, deadlines are enforced, and you can actually take PTO without everything burning down.
Look, Just Try This Already
If you’re using GoodBarber to build apps but still handling approvals through email chains and sticky notes, we’ve got news: It’s 2024. You look ridiculous.
ApproveThis isn’t another tool – it’s duct tape for your decision-making process. The Zapier integration with GoodBarber works whether you’re managing internal apps, client projects, or that weird NFT thing your CEO won’t stop talking about.
