ApproveThis manages your Hilos Integration approvals.

When Approval Bottlenecks Meet WhatsApp Chaos

Let's get real - most approval processes suck. You're chasing down managers in Slack, CC'ing the wrong people in emails, and playing telephone tag with clients on WhatsApp. Meanwhile, Hilos is over here helping your team crush customer conversations at scale. But what happens when you need actual decisions to keep those conversations moving?

That's where this combo gets dangerous. ApproveThis handles the messy decision-making logistics so your team can focus on what matters - closing deals, supporting customers, and keeping conversations flowing. No more "I thought you approved that?" moments.

ApproveThis vs Hilos: Why They're Better Together

Hilos is your WhatsApp command center - automating conversations, managing contacts, and keeping teams aligned in customer chats. But when you need to:

• Get formal sign-off on new client proposals
• Approve discount requests during negotiations
• Greenlight support escalations

...that's where ApproveThis comes in. We're talking structured approvals that automatically trigger based on what's happening in Hilos. No more switching tabs to chase down decisions.

Real-World Workflows That Don't Make People Hate You

1. Client Onboarding That Doesn't Require 17 Slack Pings

Picture this: Sales lands a new enterprise client in Hilos. Instead of your ops team playing detective across 3 systems, ApproveThis automatically:

1. Creates an approval ticket with key deal terms
2. Routes it to legal/finance based on deal size
3. Pushes approved contracts back to Hilos for signing

Who this saves: Agencies dealing with custom SOWs, SaaS companies with complex pricing tiers, anyone who's ever had a deal die in legal limbo.

2. Customer Escalations That Actually Get Resolved

When a support conversation hits crisis mode in Hilos, ApproveThis can:

• Auto-create refund approval requests with conversation context
• Route to managers based on refund amount thresholds
• Send WhatsApp updates to customers through Hilos post-decision

Pro move: Use calculated fields to auto-approve small refunds instantly, only escalating bigger hits to managers. Customers get faster resolutions, your team keeps control.

Why Tech Stacks Should Play Nice

The magic happens in the handoffs:

Hilos triggers: New high-value lead, support escalation keyword detected, payment reminder needed
ApproveThis actions: Create approval with deal context, auto-route based on rules, push decision back to Hilos

Bonus points: Approvers don't need Hilos logins. Just approve via email and keep the customer conversation moving.

Setup That Doesn't Require a PhD

Connect via Zapier in 15 minutes flat:

1. Create Zap from Hilos trigger (new contact, completed flow, etc.)
2. Map key data to ApproveThis fields (deal size, customer history)
3. Set approval rules - who needs to sign off under what conditions

Pro tip: Use approval thresholds to auto-approve small requests. Save human brainpower for the big calls.

Who Gets Their Life Back

Sales Teams: Stop chasing internal approvals instead of closing deals. Get legal/finance sign-offs automatically triggered from Hilos conversations.

Customer Support: Escalate refunds/credits without leaving WhatsApp chats. Approved? Automatically notify customers through Hilos.

Operations: Replace spreadsheet trackers with real-time approval dashboards. See bottlenecks before they blow up.

The Quietly Powerful Features You'll Abuse

Vacation Delegation: Approver OOO? Requests automatically reroute to their backup. No more "Sorry, I was on PTO" delays.

Conditional Routing: Route $500 refunds to team leads, $5k+ to directors. Keep decisions at the right level.

Email Approvals: Clients/external partners can approve without another login. They get the request, click approve/reject, done.

Let's Not Do This the Hard Way

If your team is:

• Using WhatsApp for customer conversations at scale
• Making 10+ approval decisions daily
• Losing deals/trust to slow responses

...you're either automating approvals or losing opportunities. Period.

ApproveThis + Hilos via Zapier keeps decisions flowing as fast as your conversations. No more approval black holes.

Time to Stop Being the Bottleneck

Two paths here:

1. Keep playing approval tag across 5 different systems
