When Approval Bottlenecks Meet Flexible Work
Let's be real - hybrid work models are here to stay, but most companies still handle approvals like it's 1999. MOFFI helps teams navigate flexible workspaces, while ApproveThis kills bottlenecks in decision-making. Together? They're the tag team that keeps hybrid work from becoming a logistical nightmare.
MOFFI handles the physical chess game of desks, meeting rooms, and figuring out who's actually coming to the office. ApproveThis manages the red tape - vacation requests, purchase orders, contract sign-offs. Connect them through Zapier, and you've got an automated bridge between your people and your policies.
Why This Combo Works (When Other Tools Don't)
Most approval tools treat every request the same. Yawn. ApproveThis adapts to your actual rules - whether you need three signatures for that $10k purchase or just a quick thumbs-up from the department head. MOFFI keeps up with the real-world mess of hot-desking and last-minute schedule changes. Together, they handle the exceptions that make hybrid work... interesting.
Here's the kicker: ApproveThis approvers don't need MOFFI licenses. When your CFO needs to approve an office expansion request but hasn't logged into MOFFI since 2022? No problem. They review the request in ApproveThis, you auto-book the space in MOFFI once approved. No app-hopping, no license bloat.
Real-World Fixes for Teams That Move
1. The Absence Approval Shuffle
Scenario: A sales rep in Chicago requests time off during Q4 crunch. Normally, their manager would check MOFFI to see who's covering which office that week, then ping HR... and wait. With our integration:
MOFFI triggers an ApproveThis workflow the moment the absence is logged. The system automatically checks:
- Team coverage in that location
- Blackout dates
- PTO balance
Approvers get all context needed in one email. Approve, and MOFFI auto-updates schedules. Deny, and the rep gets instant feedback with policy links. No more "I didn't know" excuses.
2. The "Who Booked That?" Mystery
Ever walked into a conference room to find marketing's unauthorized brainstorming session? Our integration stops workspace anarchy:
When someone requests A/V equipment approval in ApproveThis, the system:
- Checks MOFFI for compatible spaces
- Reserves the room upon approval
- Auto-sends access instructions
Facilities teams save 6-8 hours weekly on booking disputes. Managers actually know where their teams are working.
3. The Onboarding Black Hole
New hire starts Monday. IT hasn't set up their desk booking permissions. HR's waiting on budget approval for their equipment. Classic.
Now, when MOFFI adds a new user:
ApproveThis triggers parallel approvals for:
- Workspace access level (based on role)
- Hardware requests
- Security training completion
All approved? MOFFI auto-provisions their desk booking permissions. None of that "first day access card scramble" nonsense.
Setup That Doesn't Need IT
If you can make a Zapier account (free), you can connect these in 15 minutes:
- Log into Zapier
- Choose MOFFI as trigger app
- Pick ApproveThis as action app
- Map MOFFI fields to your approval template
Pro tip: Use ApproveThis' calculated fields to auto-flag requests that need extra scrutiny. Example: If MOFFI shows 5+ people out in a department, require director-level approval for additional absences.
Who Benefits Most
HR Teams
Auto-route relocation requests based on MOFFI's real-time office capacity data. ApproveThis escalates requests that would overcrowd locations, so you're not playing musical chairs with new hires.
Facilities Managers
Stop being the bad cop. Set ApproveThis thresholds to auto-approve small meeting room bookings, but require signatures for events needing catering or after-hours access. All syncs to MOFFI without manual entry.
Department Heads
Get vacation requests that already check team coverage in MOFFI. ApproveThis shows who's already off that week, so you're not approving three key people being out simultaneously.
Why This Isn't Just Another Integration
ApproveThis adds policy teeth to MOFFI's flexibility. Features like vacation delegation ensure someone's always covering approvals when managers are OOO (which MOFFI already tracks). Approval thresholds auto-okay routine requests while flagging exceptions - no more holding up simple desk swaps because Bob from accounting's on PTO.
Plus, everything's audit-ready. See exactly who approved that controversial rooftop meeting space booking, with timestamps and comments. Legal loves it, your liability insurer loves it, and you'll love not playing detective next quarter.
No More Approval Guesswork
Hybrid work requires flexibility, not free-for-alls. ApproveThis + MOFFI via Zapier gives structure without rigidity. You keep people moving while maintaining control - no constant app switching, no approval black holes.

FAQs
Do approvers need MOFFI training?
Nope. ApproveThis shows all relevant MOFFI data in the approval request. They click approve/reject - the systems handle the rest.
What if our approval rules change?
Update once in ApproveThis. All future MOFFI-triggered requests follow the new rules. No need to edit Zaps unless you're adding new fields.
Can we set location-specific approvers?
Yep. ApproveThis groups can be mapped to MOFFI locations. Chicago office requests auto-route to their local managers, even if HQ is in Dallas.
