ApproveThis manages your Mirro Integration approvals.

Two Platforms, One Powerful Partnership

When performance management meets precision approvals, businesses move faster while maintaining control. ApproveThis and Mirro solve different but complementary challenges: Mirro excels at capturing team feedback, tracking objectives, and recognizing employee contributions, while ApproveThis brings structure and automation to decision-making processes. Together through Zapier integration, they create closed-loop workflows where insights trigger actions and approvals drive accountability.

Consider how most organizations handle employee recognition today. A manager submits kudos in Mirro, then separately emails department heads for budget approval to award a bonus. With this integration, the kudos submission automatically generates an approval request in ApproveThis - complete with reward amount calculations and historical performance data. Decision-makers review directly from their inbox, and upon approval, the recognition becomes official without manual handoffs.

Strategic Advantages for Modern Teams

This integration delivers three concrete business benefits:

1. Accelerated Decision Cycles: Reduce approval delays from days to hours by converting Mirro triggers (new feedback, updated objectives) into immediate approval requests.

2. Cross-Team Alignment: Maintain Mirro's people-first culture while adding ApproveThis' governance - perfect for HR collaborating with finance on compensation decisions.

3. Audit-Ready Compliance: Every approved/denied request in ApproveThis automatically timestamps Mirro records, creating an immutable decision trail for compliance reviews.

Real-World Workflows That Deliver Results

Feedback Validation for Leadership Development

A tech startup uses Mirro to collect 360-degree feedback during leadership training. When participants receive new feedback, ApproveThis automatically routes it to program facilitators for quality review before adding to official development plans. Approval thresholds automatically escalate contentious feedback to senior coaches.

Objective Adjustment Governance

Project managers at a construction firm update quarterly objectives in Mirro as timelines shift. The integration triggers ApproveThis workflows requiring regional director approval for any objective changes impacting budgets over $50K. Calculated fields in ApproveThis instantly show financial implications based on updated Milestones.

Peer Recognition at Scale

A retail chain's employees submit peer kudos through Mirro. ApproveThis checks each submission against recognition program rules - if the praise mentions specific company values, it's auto-approved; all others route to store managers. Approved kudos unlock reward points through Mirro without HR intervention.

Implementation Made Simple

Connecting Mirro and ApproveThis requires no technical expertise:

1. Create a Zapier account (if you don't have one)
2. Choose Mirro as your trigger app
3. Select an event (new feedback, kudos, etc.)
4. Connect ApproveThis as your action app
5. Map Mirro fields to ApproveThis request templates

Key configuration tips:

- Use ApproveThis' calculated fields to auto-populate budget impacts when objectives change
- Set up approval groups in ApproveThis to mirror Mirro's team hierarchies
- Enable vacation delegation to prevent delays during holidays

Department-Specific Benefits

Human Resources

HR teams maintain oversight without bottlenecks. When employees request peer feedback through Mirro, ApproveThis automatically requires manager approval before sending surveys - preventing survey fatigue. Approved recognition requests sync back to Mirro profiles, creating a centralized performance record.

Finance Teams

CFOs gain real-time visibility into people-related expenditures. Any Mirro activity with financial implications (bonus requests, training budgets) triggers ApproveThis workflows with dollar amounts highlighted. Approval thresholds auto-approve small expenses while escalating large requests.

Department Heads

Managers retain cultural control while complying with policies. When team members update objectives in Mirro, ApproveThis requires director approval only for changes affecting cross-team dependencies. The integration maintains Mirro's collaborative feel while adding necessary governance.

Why This Integration Works

Unlike clunky HR suites, this combination delivers flexibility:

External Approvals Made Easy: Clients or board members can approve requests via email without needing Mirro logins - critical for agencies using Mirro to track client-facing objectives.

Adaptive Workflows: Change approval rules in ApproveThis without disrupting Mirro configurations - perfect for growing companies evolving their policies.

Two-Way Visibility: Approval statuses from ApproveThis appear directly in Mirro activity streams, while Mirro context informs ApproveThis decision-making.

Getting Started

Ready to transform how your organization handles performance-related decisions?

1. Create your ApproveThis account
2. Connect to Mirro via Zapier
3. Start with one high-impact workflow:
- Feedback validation for leadership programs
- Budget-bound objective changes
- Recognition program compliance

For complex environments, schedule a custom demo showing how to combine ApproveThis' advanced features (conditional logic, multi-stage approvals) with Mirro's performance tracking.

Final Considerations

This integration shines when you:

✔️ Need governance without sacrificing Mirro's user experience
✔️ Require cross-department collaboration on people decisions
✔️ Want to automate compliance without manual tracking

It may be overkill if:
❌ All approvals already happen within Mirro
❌ You have no compliance/audit requirements
❌ Decision-makers prefer in-person approvals

As teams grow, the combination of Mirro's people insights and ApproveThis' structured approvals becomes indispensable. Start small with one workflow, then expand as stakeholders see the value in connected decision-making.
