When Forms Meet Approvals: A Power Couple for Operations

NoCodeForm makes it easy to collect data. ApproveThis makes it simple to act on it. Together, they remove the most common bottleneck in business processes: waiting for human decisions. Whether you're handling client contracts, purchase orders, or content reviews, this integration ensures every form submission automatically kicks off a tailored approval process.

Why This Integration Changes the Game

Traditional form tools stop at data collection, leaving teams to manually chase approvals via email or spreadsheets. ApproveThis adds decision-making structure without complicating NoCodeForm's simplicity. Key advantages:

  • No license juggling: External clients or partners approve requests via email without needing NoCodeForm accounts
  • Conditional logic: Auto-approve low-risk requests while routing high-value decisions to the right people

Real-World Workflows for Key Departments

Marketing Teams: Campaign Approvals at Scale

Imagine a NoCodeForm where designers submit new social media creatives. Each submission triggers an ApproveThis workflow that:

  • Routes to legal if the copy includes regulated terms
  • Seeks brand manager approval for visual assets
  • Auto-approves updates under $500 using approval thresholds

Example: A mid-sized agency reduced their creative review cycles from 5 days to 12 hours using this setup.

Procurement: From Request to PO Without the Paper Chase

Employees submit purchase requests via NoCodeForm. ApproveThis then:

  • Routes requests based on department budgets
  • Requires CFO sign-off for purchases over $10k
  • Automatically delegates approvals when managers travel

A manufacturing client cut their procurement processing time by 40% while improving compliance audits.

HR: Streamlining Employee Requests

Use NoCodeForm for vacation requests, equipment orders, or training enrollments. ApproveThis adds:

  • Automatic coverage checks using vacation delegation
  • IT department approvals for hardware requests
  • Real-time tracking for employee visibility

Technical Setup Made Simple

Connecting the two platforms takes under 15 minutes via Zapier:

  1. Create Zapier account (if needed)
  2. Choose NoCodeForm's "New Submission" trigger
  3. Map form fields to ApproveThis request template
  4. Test with live data

Pro Tip: Use ApproveThis' calculated fields to auto-populate approval rules based on form data (e.g., total request cost).

Features That Make This Pair Stand Out

While basic approval tools exist, ApproveThis adds enterprise-grade capabilities that complement NoCodeForm's flexibility:

  • Approval thresholds: Auto-approve small expenses while flagging large requests
  • Parallel vs sequential approvals: Get department sign-offs simultaneously or in a defined order
  • Audit trails: Every decision is timestamped and logged for compliance

Who Benefits Most From This Integration?

Consulting Firms: Client Approvals Without the Chaos

Use NoCodeForm to collect client feedback on deliverables, then route to internal teams via ApproveThis. Clients approve final versions via email without logging into yet another portal.

E-commerce Brands: Faster Inventory Decisions

Let suppliers submit restock requests via form. Auto-route to purchasing managers based on product category, with automatic reorder triggers upon approval.

Nonprofits: Grant Approval Transparency

Collect funding applications via NoCodeForm, then use ApproveThis' group approvals to ensure objective committee decisions. Track progress in real time to meet reporting deadlines.

Beyond the Basics: Advanced Use Cases

Multi-Stage Contract Reviews

Legal teams often need sequential reviews. A NoCodeForm contract submission can trigger ApproveThis workflows that first route to finance for budget checks, then legal for redlining, finally execs for sign-off.

Dynamic Vendor Onboarding

New vendor submissions via form automatically kick off parallel approvals: insurance docs to compliance, payment terms to AP, and service scope to department heads.

Common Pitfalls to Avoid

While powerful, this integration works best when:

  • Form fields are clearly labeled for easy mapping
  • Approval groups are defined before automation
  • Fallback approvers are set for vacation coverage

The Bottom Line: Decisions at the Speed of Business

NoCodeForm captures data. ApproveThis turns it into action. Together, they ensure every request gets reviewed by the right people at the right time - without manual follow-ups. Whether you're handling five approvals a week or five hundred, this combo scales with your needs.
