ApproveThis manages your OnlineAfspraken.nl Integration approvals.

When Scheduling Meets Sign-Offs

Let's cut to the chase: OnlineAfspraken.nl helps you manage appointments. ApproveThis handles approvals. Together through Zapier, they turn "Hey, can someone check this?" into "Done. What's next?"

Picture this: A customer books an urgent service call through your OnlineAfspraken calendar. Instead of chasing down managers for sign-off via Slack, the request automatically routes through ApproveThis. Your team lead approves it during their 2pm coffee break using email. The appointment gets confirmed before the customer finishes paying.

That's the reality when you connect these systems. Here's why companies between 50-5,000 employees are using this combo to:

• Prevent double-bookings from rogue appointments
• Stop revenue leaks from unapproved discounts
• Ditch spreadsheet-based approval tracking

Your Calendar Gets a Bouncer

OnlineAfspraken.nl's scheduling is slick, but it's missing one thing: guardrails. ApproveThis adds conditional checkpoints that adapt to your business rules.

The Clinic Playbook

A medical equipment supplier uses this integration to handle service calls. Their Zapier automation:

1. Triggers when a client schedules urgent maintenance
2. Checks if the request requires specialty parts
3. Routes to either the regional manager (high cost) or auto-approves (routine visits)

Result? 23% faster emergency response times because techs aren't waiting for email replies.

The Membership Model Hack

A premium fitness chain approves all personal training bookings over 90 minutes. Their ApproveThis workflow:

• Flags long sessions
• Requires lead trainer approval
• Auto-blocks timeslots if denied

Bonus: Trainers can delegate approvals when traveling using ApproveThis' vacation settings.

Setup in 3 Steps (No IT Degree Needed)

1. Create Your Zapier Bridge: Log into Zapier, choose OnlineAfspspraken.nl as your trigger app, ApproveThis as the action.

2. Map the Important Stuff: Connect appointment details to approval request fields. Pro tip: Use ApproveThis' calculated fields to auto-flag high-value bookings.

3. Test Drive: Book a test appointment on OnlineAfspraken.nl. If your CFO gets an approval email within 60 seconds, you're golden.

Department-Specific Wins

Operations Teams

Use approval thresholds to auto-approve routine bookings under $1K. Escalate only exceptions. ApproveThis' real-time dashboard shows which locations are bottlenecked.

Finance Teams

Connect invoice approvals to payment terms. Ever had a vendor offer a 2% discount for 10-day payment? Set an ApproveThis rule to auto-approve those invoices under $5K. Anything bigger pings the controller.

Customer Success

New client onboarding requiring multiple sign-offs? Build a parallel approval path where legal reviews contracts while facilities approves office access. Both need to greenlight before the appointment confirms.

The Unspoken Benefit

Your approvers don't need OnlineAfspraken.nl licenses. Huge for:

External Partners: Contractors approve project milestones without accessing your main calendar

Multi-Company Teams: Joint ventures where each company uses different systems

Security-Conscious Orgs: Keep sensitive appointments visible only to necessary approvers

Beyond Appointments

While we've focused on scheduling, this integration handles:

Customer Vetting

A B2B equipment lender auto-flags clients with international billing addresses. Sales managers get ApproveThis emails with embedded customer risk scores from their CRM.

Invoice Audits

Connect QuickBooks to ApproveThis via Zapier for three-way matching. But if you're already using OnlineAfspraken.nl's invoicing? Their native integration skips the spreadsheet middleman.

Common Questions (Asked By Real Companies)

"What If Approvers Ignore Emails?"

ApproveThis sends escalating reminders. If still no response, it reroutes using your backup rules. Way better than "I didn't see the Slack message."

"Can We Approve via Mobile?"

Yes. Approvers click approve/deny in email. No app install required. For frequent users, the mobile web dashboard works offline.
