ApproveThis manages your Mobiniti SMS Integration approvals.

Integration Category: Phone
Let’s cut through it: approvals suck when they’re slow. Teams get stuck waiting for sign-offs. Clients get antsy. And somehow, everyone ends up in a 12-person thread arguing about comma placement. ApproveThis fixes that part. But what happens when your approvals need to talk to the real world – like actually telling people stuff got approved? That’s where Mobiniti SMS comes in.
Why This Combo Doesn’t Just Work – It Actually Solves Problems
ApproveThis isn’t another “track your PDFs” tool. It’s built for companies where approvals aren’t just paperwork – they’re how work moves forward. Procurement teams needing three signers on big orders. Marketing agencies getting client OKs on campaign copy. Construction firms verifying change orders before crews show up.
Mobiniti SMS? It’s how you skip the inbox and put urgent updates where people actually look: their phones. The kicker? Together, they handle two sides of the same problem:
ApproveThis does: Routing requests to the right people, enforcing rules (like auto-approving small expenses), and keeping a clear audit trail.
Mobiniti SMS does: Instant notifications that get seen, status updates that don’t get buried, and confirmations that actually reach someone on a job site.
Real-World Use Cases (No Fluff)
1. “Why Is This New Vendor Taking Forever to Onboard?”
The Fix: Auto-create approval requests when new contacts hit Mobiniti SMS.
Example: Your sales team adds a new supplier in Mobiniti after a call. ApproveThis instantly pings procurement, legal, and accounting via email. The kicker? Approvers don’t need Mobiniti logins – just click Approve/Deny. No more “Wait, who’s this vendor again?” emails.
2. “Our Project Manager Missed an Approval Email… Again”
The Fix: Zapier sends an SMS via Mobiniti when critical approvals start.
Example: A $50K client invoice hits ApproveThis. Mobiniti fires an SMS to the CFO’s phone: “Action needed: Invoice 2051 requires approval. Deadline: 4PM TODAY.” Suddenly, things move faster.
3. “We Updated the Client’s Contact Info… And Now Everything’s Wrong”
The Fix: Trigger approvals when Mobiniti contact details change.
Example: Your support team updates a client’s billing phone number. ApproveThis requires manager confirmation before syncing to Salesforce. Prevents those “Why did we charge the wrong card?” disasters.
4. “The Field Team Never Knows If Their Order Got Approved”
The Fix: Send MMS confirmations when ApproveThis finalizes decisions.
Example: A construction crew needs materials ASAP. Once approved, Mobiniti sends an MMS with a thumbnail of the PO and a link to the full doc. No more “Did they say yes?” calls from the site.
Setup That Takes 15 Minutes, Not 15 Days
If you’ve used Zapier before, this is stupid simple:
- Connect ApproveThis + Mobiniti SMS in Zapier (here’s Zapier’s guide if you’re new)
- Pick Your Trigger: Like “New Contact in Mobiniti” or “Approval Completed in ApproveThis”
- Set Up Actions: Map Mobiniti contact fields to ApproveThis request templates, or vice versa
- Test With Real Data: Add a test contact or approval to see SMS/approvals flow
Pro Tip: Use ApproveThis’ approval thresholds to auto-approve small updates (like phone number changes under $1K impact) so you’re only SMS-ing for big stuff.
Who Actually Benefits? (Spoiler: More Teams Than You’d Think)
Procurement & Finance Teams
Stop playing CC’d email tag with vendors. Get SMS alerts when purchase requests hit thresholds (like over $10K), approve via email while traveling, and auto-send vendors MMS confirmations with PO numbers.
Marketing & Creative Agencies
Client approvals on campaigns can’t wait. Set up Zapier to SMS your account manager when client sign-off is needed, then auto-send the approved assets to Mobiniti for SMS delivery to the client’s production team.
Field Operations & Manufacturing
Machine down? Approval for emergency repair costs gets SMS’d to the plant manager’s phone. They approve via email within minutes, and the vendor gets an MMS work order. Downtime slashed.
Healthcare & Logistics
Compliance-heavy industries need trails. ApproveThis logs every decision, while Mobiniti SMS provides timestamped proof that the right person was notified. Audit-ready without the paperwork.
Features You’ll Actually Use (Not Just Pay For)
ApproveThis isn’t just “another approval layer.” These matter when paired with SMS:
- Vacation Delegation: Approver OOO? Requests auto-reassign, and Mobiniti SMS notifies the backup so nothing stalls.
- Calculated Fields: Auto-calculate ROI impact on marketing spend approvals shown in the SMS alert. Helps approvers decide faster.
- Approval Groups: Need 3/5 managers to approve a vendor? Their emails get the request, but Mobiniti SMS reminds the whole group daily until done.
The Bottom Line: This Isn’t About Tech – It’s About Time
Companies between 50-5,000 employees don’t have time for “maybe they saw the email” guesswork. Combining ApproveThis’ structured approvals with Mobiniti SMS’ immediacy means:
- Decisions happen in hours, not days
- Field teams stay updated without checking email
- Clients get confirmations that don’t look automated
- You reduce “Wait, was this approved?” risk
Cool Part: Approvers don’t need Mobiniti licenses. Your accounting team approves vendor requests via email; the vendor gets an SMS from Mobiniti. No extra logins, no added cost.
What Now?
If your approval processes involve more than two “Per my last email…” follow-ups weekly, it’s time. Start with one Zap – like SMS alerts for high-value approvals. See how much faster things move.
