ApproveThis manages your OneHash approvals.

Why Approval Automation Matters in Modern Business

Approval bottlenecks cost businesses an average of 3.2 hours per employee weekly. When you combine ApproveThis' streamlined decision-making with OneHash's centralized business management, teams gain back that time while maintaining rigorous oversight. This integration doesn't just connect two tools - it bridges the gap between operational execution and governance.

Core Synergies Between Platforms

OneHash organizes your customer data and operational records, while ApproveThis governs how that information gets validated. Together through Zapier, they create closed-loop processes where every critical business action receives proper oversight without manual handoffs.

Key technical advantages:

• Bi-directional data sync maintains system of record integrity
• Approval logic adapts to OneHash record types (leads, opportunities, support tickets)

For sales teams, this means automatic approval routing when deals exceed discount thresholds. For operations, it ensures inventory purchases get proper authorization before creating procurement records.

Real-World Use Cases That Deliver ROI

1. Client Onboarding Acceleration

Marketing agencies using OneHash CRM can trigger contract approvals automatically when new client records reach specific deal sizes. ApproveThis routes the request to department heads based on calculated contract values, with vacation delegation preventing delays.

How it works: New OneHash Lead → ApproveThis Threshold Check → Legal/Finance Approval → Auto-Update CRM Status

2. Compliance-Driven Opportunity Management

Financial services firms leverage calculated fields to enforce regulatory checks. When a OneHash opportunity exceeds predefined risk thresholds, ApproveThis automatically requires compliance officer sign-off before progressing the deal.

Technical edge: Approval groups with consensus rules ensure multiple stakeholders validate high-risk transactions while maintaining audit trails.

3. Cross-Departmental Project Coordination

Manufacturing teams use OneHash project records to initiate equipment purchase approvals. ApproveThis routes requests through engineering, finance, and safety teams sequentially, with real-time status updates syncing back to the project timeline.

Implementation Made Simple

Setting up the integration takes under 20 minutes through Zapier:

1. Create Zapier account (if new to automation)
2. Choose OneHash as trigger app ("New Record Created")
3. Select ApproveThis action ("Create Request")
4. Map critical fields: Record ID → Approval Summary, Value → Calculated Field
5. Test with sample lead/opportunity

Pro tip: Use ApproveThis' conditional logic to create different approval paths for OneHash record types - sales contracts vs support escalations require different stakeholders.

Team-Specific Benefits

Sales Organizations

Automate discount approvals when opportunities hit specific deal sizes. Approvers receive email notifications with embedded OneHash record links for context. Approved deals auto-update pipeline stages, while rejections trigger revision tasks.

Operations Managers

Maintain procurement control without micromanaging. Purchase requests initiated in OneHash inventory modules route through budget approvers, with real-time tracking visible in both systems. Escalation rules prevent stockouts during approver absences.

Client Services Teams

Expedite contract amendments by embedding approval workflows directly into OneHash service records. External clients approve changes via email without needing OneHash logins, maintaining security while improving turnaround.

Advanced Configuration Options

For complex enterprises, layer these ApproveThis features onto OneHash workflows:

Approval Thresholds: Auto-approve small-value support requests under $500, while routing larger expenses to finance.

Calculated Fields: Combine multiple OneHash data points (contract value × risk score) to determine required approval tiers.

Time-Based Escalations: Critical IT procurement requests automatically escalate if not approved within 4 business hours.

Why This Integration Beats Manual Processes

Traditional approval methods fail because:

• Email chains lose critical context from source systems
• Spreadsheet tracking creates version control issues
• Ad-hoc processes bypass compliance requirements

The Zapier integration between ApproveThis and OneHash solves these by embedding governance directly into operational workflows. Decision-makers get full record context without leaving their inbox, while approvers see real-time data rather than stale spreadsheet exports.

Getting Started Guide

First implementation steps for maximum impact:

1. Identify 2-3 high-volume approval types in OneHash (new vendors, discounted deals)

2. Build parallel approval templates in ApproveThis with matching fields

3. Configure Zapier to trigger on key OneHash record events

4. Train approvers on email-based review process

5. Monitor dashboard for process optimization opportunities

The Bottom Line

Companies using ApproveThis with OneHash through Zapier report 68% faster approval cycles and 92% reduction in process-related errors. The integration pays for itself within 90 days by eliminating manual handoffs while improving compliance visibility.
