ApproveThis manages your LaunchSoft Integration approvals.

Two Tools, One Powerful Partnership

When LaunchSoft's real-time alerts meet ApproveThis' structured approval workflows, businesses gain an operational advantage that's greater than the sum of its parts. This integration through Zapier creates a closed-loop system where critical notifications automatically trigger approval processes - cutting decision latency from days to minutes.

LaunchSoft excels at monitoring key events across digital platforms, while ApproveThis brings order to complex approval scenarios. Together, they enable organizations to:

• Convert urgent notifications into immediate action items
• Maintain audit trails for compliance-sensitive decisions
• Reduce cross-departmental bottlenecks through automated routing

Why This Integration Works

LaunchSoft's strength lies in its ability to surface time-sensitive updates - think inventory alerts, campaign performance thresholds, or system health warnings. But without structured approval processes, these notifications often lead to chaotic Slack threads or lost emails.

ApproveThis adds crucial structure with:

• Multi-step approval chains that adapt to dollar amounts or risk levels
• Automatic delegation when approvers are OOO
• Real-time visibility into decision timelines

The magic happens when a LaunchSoft notification automatically creates an ApproveThis request with all relevant context. Approvers receive email notifications (no LaunchSoft license required) and can approve/deny directly from their inbox. Decisions then sync back to LaunchSoft via Zapier, creating a complete audit trail.

Real-World Use Cases

Marketing: Ad Spend Approvals

When LaunchSoft detects a high-performing campaign hitting its budget cap, ApproveThis automatically routes an incremental budget request to the CMO and CFO. Using approval thresholds, requests under $5K might auto-approve, while larger amounts require manual review. Marketing teams bypass 3-day email chains, capitalizing on campaign momentum.

Procurement: Vendor Contract Alerts

LaunchSoft monitors contract renewal dates across SaaS tools. Ninety days before expiration, ApproveThis initiates a vendor evaluation workflow involving legal, IT, and department heads. Calculated fields compare renewal quotes against budget forecasts, while parallel approvals prevent bottlenecks.

IT: Security Incident Response

Critical security alerts from LaunchSoft trigger emergency change requests in ApproveThis. The platform enforces four-eyes approval principles - requiring simultaneous sign-off from both the security lead and infrastructure manager before implementing fixes. All decisions timestamped for compliance reporting.

Implementation Made Simple

Connecting LaunchSoft to ApproveThis takes under 15 minutes:

1. Create a Zapier account (if new to automation)
2. Choose LaunchSoft's "New Notification" as trigger
3. Map key alert details to ApproveThis' request fields
4. Test with a low-risk notification type

Pro tip: Use ApproveThis' calculated fields to auto-populate risk scores or budget impact metrics based on LaunchSoft's alert data. This gives approvers instant context without manual analysis.

Cross-Functional Benefits

For Finance Teams

Approval thresholds prevent rogue spending by auto-escalating large requests. Real-time dashboards show pending commitments against remaining budgets - crucial for quarterly forecasting.

For Operations Managers

Vacation delegation ensures alerts never stall with absent approvers. Custom SLAs in ApproveThis enforce 24-hour response times on critical LaunchSoft notifications.

For External Partners

Client approvals happen via email without granting LaunchSoft access. Agencies can submit campaign change requests through client-specific ApproveThis portals while maintaining data separation.

Beyond Basic Approvals

While the core integration focuses on request creation, savvy teams layer in ApproveThis' advanced features:

Conditional Routing

High-severity LaunchSoft alerts bypass junior staff, routing directly to C-level approvers after hours. Geo-based routing ensures alerts about regional outages go to local managers first.

Compliance Safeguards

Four-eyes approval requirements for high-risk actions prevent unilateral decisions. All approvals sync timestamps and comments back to LaunchSoft for audit purposes.

Performance Analytics

Track approval cycle times against alert severity levels. Identify departments causing delays or spot recurring approval patterns that warrant process changes.

Getting Started

Begin with high-impact, low-risk scenarios to demonstrate quick wins:

Phase 1: Basic Notifications

Automate approvals for routine alerts like minor budget overages or standard contract renewals. Measure time saved vs manual processes.

Phase 2: Conditional Logic

Introduce approval thresholds and parallel reviews. Example: Marketing leads can approve up to $2K in ad overages alone, beyond which finance must co-approve.

Phase 3: External Collaboration

Invite vendors or clients into specific approval flows. Use ApproveThis' white-labeling to maintain brand continuity during external reviews.

Why Teams Choose This Stack

Unlike clunky approval modules in all-in-one platforms, this combination offers:

Specialization

LaunchSoft focuses on alert accuracy; ApproveThis on approval rigor. Together they outperform generic tools trying to do both.

Cost Control

No need to buy expensive seats for occasional approvers. External partners participate via email at zero added cost.

Future-Proofing

Zapier's 5,000+ app ecosystem lets you add new triggers/actions as needs evolve - from Slack notifications to SAP updates.
