Why Bother Connecting ApproveThis and Meegle?
Let’s cut to the chase: approvals suck. They’re the traffic jam of modern business. Meegle’s great at visualizing workflows, but when it comes to actually getting decisions made? That’s where teams hit walls. ApproveThis doesn’t just move the approval process forward – it bulldozes through the bureaucracy.
Together, they turn “waiting for approval” from a passive verb into something that actually happens before your coffee gets cold. We’re talking real-time updates syncing between project boards and approval dashboards, automated escalations when people ghost your requests, and approvers who don’t need a PhD in your project management tool.
The Nuts and Bolts of Not Sucking at Approvals
Meegle keeps work moving. ApproveThis keeps decisions moving. Connect them through Zapier, and you’ve got a system where:
- New work items in Meegle auto-create approval requests
- Approval decisions in ApproveThis update Meegle statuses
Key difference? ApproveThis handles the human part. Approval thresholds mean small requests auto-approve, big ones get flagged. Vacation delegation stops people from being single points of failure. Calculated fields automatically route requests based on dollar amounts or other criteria. Meanwhile, Meegle keeps the work itself organized.
Actual Ways This Helps Actual Teams
For Project Managers Who Hate Micromanaging
Scenario: Your dev team creates a new feature spec in Meegle. Instead of Slack-begging for approvals, the request hits ApproveThis automatically. The CTO gets an email, clicks approve, and Meegle updates the card status. If they don’t respond in 24 hours? It escalates to the VP. No follow-up required.
For Finance Teams That Love Saying “No”
Example: A $50K budget request hits Meegle. ApproveThis routes it to both the department head and CFO simultaneously. They debate in comments (no endless reply-all emails), make a decision, and Meegle’s budget field updates automatically. Bonus: All that approval logic lives in ApproveThis – no need to give finance access to your project boards.
For Client Services Teams Stuck Playing Messenger
Real talk: Your client doesn’t care about your project management tool. When their design approval is needed, ApproveThis sends them a simple email. They click approve, which updates both the Meegle card and triggers the next phase. No logins, no passwords, no “I never got the notification.”
Setting This Up Without Losing Your Mind
Connect in Zapier in three steps:
- Create Zap with Meegle trigger (new work item, status change, etc.)
- Add ApproveThis action (create request or update based on approval)
- Map critical fields – dollar amounts, due dates, requester info
Pro tip: Use ApproveThis’ calculated fields to auto-route requests. A $500 expense might go to a manager, while $5K goes straight to finance. Meegle stays clean, ApproveThis handles the politics.
What You’re Not Thinking About (But Should)
The License Trap: Approvers don’t need Meegle seats. Clients, contractors, execs – they approve via email. Saves money, avoids permission headaches.
Audit Trail BS: Every approval decision in ApproveThis timestamps and records comments. When compliance asks who approved what, you’re ready in three clicks.
Status Meetings: Instead of “Where are we on X?”, check Meegle’s board. Approval statuses sync automatically – green means go, red means stuck.
When This Combo Actually Makes Sense
This isn’t for companies where everything’s approved via hallway conversations. If you’re dealing with:
- Cross-team dependencies (design <> legal <> marketing)
- External clients/vendors in approval chains
- Compliance requirements that demand documentation
...then connecting Meegle and ApproveThis isn’t just helpful – it’s damage control.
Cool Features You’ll Actually Use
Approval Thresholds: Auto-approve small expenses, escalate big ones. Set it once, forget about it.
Vacation Delegation: Approver OOO? Requests automatically reroute to their backup. No broken chains.
Conditional Routing: Marketing requests go to CMO, dev ops to CTO. All decided by request type or amount.
The Bottom Line
Meegle shows where work is stuck. ApproveThis gets it unstuck. Together through Zapier, they create what we like to call “actually finishing projects.”
This isn’t about eliminating approvals – that’s impossible. It’s about making them suck less. Less waiting, less chasing, less wondering if anyone actually saw your request.
