When Bureaucracy Meets Payment Processing
Let's be real – nobody got into business to chase down approvals or babysit payment systems. Yet here we are: finance teams stuck playing detective on failed payouts, project managers waiting days for budget sign-offs, and everyone drowning in "Hey, did you approve that?" Slack messages.
ApproveThis and Mamo Business fix this by connecting the dots between who needs to decide and what needs to get paid. Think of it like putting your approval workflows on autopilot, with built-in guardrails to prevent financial slip-ups.
Why This Combo Works for Mid-Sized Companies
Mamo Business handles the money movement – payouts, subscriptions, payment links. ApproveThis handles the human decisions – approvals, escalations, audits. Together through Zapier, they cover the full cycle from "Should we do this?" to "Done, paid, and logged."
Three Reasons Finance Teams Care
1. No more manual handoffs: Approved a vendor payment? It auto-sends via Mamo. Payout failed? It routes to investigation without your intervention.
2. External approvers don't cost you: Clients or partners approve directly via email – no Mamo licenses needed.
3. Audit trails that don't suck: Every approval ties to specific payments, with timestamps and decision notes.
Real-World Use Cases (Not Just Theory)
For Procurement Teams: The Instant PO-to-Payment Link
A Dubai construction company uses this integration to handle material orders:
How it works: Field lead submits purchase request → ApproveThis routes to site manager → Upon approval, Mamo generates payment link → Vendor pays instantly.
Result: Reduced equipment wait times from 6 days to 12 hours by eliminating back-office delays.
For Agencies: Client Approvals That Don't Kill Momentum
A 150-person marketing firm handles client campaigns:
How it works: New ad spend proposal → ApproveThis sends to client via email → Client approval triggers Mamo payment link → Team gets paid before work starts.
Result: Cut unpaid client work by 40% using payment links as approval confirmation.
For Operations: The Failed Payout Safety Net
A logistics company with 70 trucks automates breakdowns:
How it works: Mamo detects failed fuel card payout → ApproveThis pings fleet manager → Approval routes funds to backup card.
Result: Avoided 12+ stranded trucks last quarter by fixing payment issues in <2 hours.
Setup That Won't Make You Hate Tech
Connect ApproveThis + Mamo Business in 15 minutes using Zapier – no devs required:
- Create Zapier account (if you don't have one)
- Choose trigger: "New Request" in ApproveThis or "Failed Payout" in Mamo
- Pick action: "Create Payment Link" in Mamo or "Start Approval" in ApproveThis
- Map key fields (amount, approver email, due date)
- Test with $1 payment to confirm flow
Pro tip: Use ApproveThis' calculated fields to auto-approve small expenses (like <$500 fuel costs) while flagging larger spends for review.
Features You'll Actually Use
ApproveThis' Secret Weapons
Vacation Delegation: CFO out? Approvals auto-reassign to COO without missing SLAs.
Threshold Escalations: Payments over $10K get CC'd to legal automatically.
Email Approvals: Let suppliers approve invoices directly from Gmail.
Mamo Business' Heavy Lifters
Batch Payouts: Send 50+ payments at once after bulk approval.
Payment Links: Collect one-time or recurring without coding.
Real-Time Tracking: See exactly when vendors open payment requests.
When to Use This Integration
This isn't for every company. It works best if:
- You process 100+ payments monthly across departments
- At least 20% of payments require multi-person approval
- You've had payment errors due to manual handoffs
Example: A 300-employee retail chain uses it for inventory purchases – store managers approve via ApproveThis, which triggers Mamo payments to regional suppliers. Finance gets full visibility without being a bottleneck.
What You Can Stop Doing Tomorrow
If you connect these systems, say goodbye to:
→ Chasing approvers over email
→ Manually reconciling payments against approvals
→ Explaining to auditors where that $15K wire went
Case in point: A UAE tech startup reduced monthly close time from 8 days to 3 by auto-linking every Mamo transaction to its ApproveThis approval.
Getting Started Without the Overwhelm
Don't boil the ocean. Pick one pain point:
Option 1: Automate client payment approvals (like deposits or milestone payments)
Option 2: Handle employee expense reimbursements with auto-escalation
Option 3: Streamline vendor POs with approval-based payment terms
Most teams see ROI in <30 days just by reducing payment delays. One manufacturer even negotiated 2% early-payment discounts from suppliers by approving and paying 50% faster.
Bottom Line
ApproveThis + Mamo Business via Zapier isn't about flashy tech – it's about fixing the approval-payment gap that costs mid-sized companies hours and headaches daily. Whether you're tired of playing approval tag or want cleaner financial audits, this integration handles the grunt work so your team can focus on actual work.
