When Approval Management Meets Client Collaboration
Let's cut through the corporate jargon: approvals suck when they're stuck between email chains, Slack threads, and that one manager who's always "out of office." ApproveThis and Moxo aren't here to revolutionize your business - they're here to fix the shit that makes your teams waste hours chasing signatures.
ApproveThis handles the dirty work of routing decisions, while Moxo keeps client-facing chaos in check. Connect them through Zapier, and you've got a system where approvals actually finish before the project deadline. No magic, just fewer bottlenecks.
Why This Combo Doesn't Just Look Good on Paper
Moxo's great at client hand-holding - document sharing, task lists, those never-ending feedback loops. ApproveThis? It's the enforcer making sure decisions get made without eight follow-up meetings. Together, they cover the full cycle:
Client requests something → Team reviews in Moxo → Approval routed through ApproveThis → Action happens → Client gets update in Moxo
Real-world benefit? Your accounting team stops hating marketing for last-minute invoice approvals. Your clients stop asking "where's my update?" every 12 hours. You stop playing middleman in a game of corporate telephone.
Use Cases That Actually Matter (No Fluff)
1. Client-Driven Projects That Don't Miss Deadlines
Marketing agencies: Next time your client approves a campaign via Moxo, have ApproveThis automatically trigger contract sign-offs and budget releases. No more "the check's in the mail" excuses.
How it works:
- Client marks campaign brief approved in Moxo
- Zapier pings ApproveThis to start legal/CFO sign-off chain
- Threshold rules auto-approve standard NDAs under $50K
- Final contract pops back into Moxo for client signature
Bonus: Approvers only need ApproveThis access - no extra Moxo seats required for your legal team.
2. Procurement That Doesn't Require Mind Reading
Manufacturing firms: When production leads request materials via Moxo forms, auto-create approval chains in ApproveThis that factor in:
- Real-time inventory levels (via calculated fields)
- Alternate vendor options if primary is backordered
- Escalation rules for CTO review on specialized parts
Approved orders flow back into Moxo with supplier ETA timelines - no more "did we order that?" status meetings.
3. Client Onboarding That Doesn't Take 45 Days
Consulting shops: Use Moxo's client portals to collect intake docs, then trigger ApproveThis workflows that:
- Assign internal SME reviewers based on project type
- Auto-approve standard NDAs under $50K
- Escalate compliance questions to legal via email (they'll actually respond)
When all approvals are green, Moxo automatically unlocks the project workspace. Clients think you're efficient. You finally take a lunch break.
Setup That Won't Make You Call IT
1. Create your Zap - pick Moxo as trigger app
2. Choose triggers like "Form Submitted" or "Document Signed"
3. Connect ApproveThis as action app
4. Map Moxo data to approval fields (takes 2 minutes)
5. Set escalation rules if approvers ghost for 24hrs+
Pro tip: Use ApproveThis' calculated fields to auto-approve routine requests. Your team will think you hired a robot assistant.
Department-Specific Wins
Operations Teams
Stop being the approval police. Set up conditional rules where:
- Vendor contracts under $20K auto-approve if within budget
- Facility requests need 3 maintenance team approvals
- IT purchases route to CISO if hardware exceeds security specs
Client Services
No more "I thought you approved that?" moments. All client-OK'd items in Moxo trigger internal approvals with full audit trails. If clients change their minds (they will), the paper trail prevents scope creep arguments.
Finance Departments
AP teams: Connect ApproveThis thresholds to your ERP system. Invoices under $10K get auto-paid through Moxo client portals. Over budget? Route through approval chains that actually respect fiscal controls.
Features You'll Actually Use
Beyond basic approvals, these keep things moving:
Vacation Delegation: CFO out? Controller gets auto-assigned without breaking workflows.
Email Approvals: Let execs approve via iPhone without another app login.
Real-Time Dashboards: See which client projects are stuck waiting on whom.
When to Consider Other Tools
This combo works if:
- You have more than 20 monthly client-facing approvals
- At least two departments get looped into decisions
- Clients complain about communication delays
- You’re using Moxo but approvals still happen over email
If you’re a 5-person startup approving T-shirt designs? Maybe overkill. For 100+ employee companies dealing with clients or complex ops? Stop losing money to approval delays.
Getting Started Without the Sales Circus
1. Grab an ApproveThis trial (takes 3 minutes)
2. Connect to your existing Moxo account via Zapier
3. Build one workflow for your most annoying approval process
4. Tell your team it's live next Monday
Or schedule a 15-minute demo to see how other companies cut approval times by 60%. No "digital transformation" PowerPoints - just a live walkthrough of actual use cases.
The Bottom Line
Approvals shouldn't be a full-time job. Moxo keeps clients happy with visibility, ApproveThis keeps internal teams from playing approval ping-pong. Together via Zapier, they ensure work actually happens between all the decision-making.
You've got two options: Keep pasting approval links into Slack and hope people respond. Or connect these tools and finally fix the process everyone complains about. Your call.
