ApproveThis manages your Peerdom Integration approvals.

When Org Charts Meet Approval Chains

Let’s be real – most approval processes suck. Not because people enjoy being bottlenecks, but because they’re stuck between static org charts and chaotic decision-making. That’s where pairing ApproveThis with Peerdom gets interesting. One platform maps how work actually happens (Peerdom), the other ensures decisions get made without seven rounds of Slack pings (ApproveThis). Together, they turn “who needs to sign off on this?” from a political minefield into a process that adapts to your team’s real structure.

Why This Combo Works for Mid-Sized Companies

Companies between 50-5k employees hit a sweet spot: complex enough to need real process, but agile enough to hate bureaucracy. Peerdom’s dynamic org charts show you who’s responsible for what today, while ApproveThis routes approvals based on those ever-changing roles. Translation: no more approval requests sent to people who switched teams three weeks ago.

Key Integration Benefits

HR Teams: Automate role-based approvals without manually updating workflows every reorg.
Finance: Budget approvals tied to actual project teams in Peerdom.
IT: Access requests that respect current reporting lines.
Bonus: External clients can approve directly via email without needing Peerdom logins.

Real Use Cases That Don’t Feel Like Corporate Fluff

1. New Team? Automatic Approval Chain

When Peerdom detects a new group (project team, department, client pod), ApproveThis instantly generates an approval workflow specific to that group’s roles. Example: A tech startup spins up an AI ethics task force in Peerdom. ApproveThis auto-creates an approval chain that includes Legal, Engineering Lead, and the CEO – no IT ticket required.

2. Approved Budget = Active Project Team

Peerdom project creation triggers budget approval workflows in ApproveThis. Once approved, the project team gets automatically activated with spending authority. We’ve seen marketing agencies use this to prevent “rogue” client projects that weren’t actually signed off.

3. Emergency Role Delegation That Works

When an approver marks themselves OOO in Peerdom, ApproveThis doesn’t just ping their manager – it follows the exact delegation rules defined in Peerdom’s role maps. Critical for healthcare orgs where compliance = everything.

Setting It Up Without Losing Your Mind

Connect via Zapier in three steps even your least techy manager can handle:

1. Create triggers in Peerdom (new group, project, role change)
2. Map to ApproveThis actions (create request, escalate, approve)
3. Set conditional rules using Peerdom’s role data

Pro tip: Use ApproveThis’ calculated fields to auto-route based on Peerdom data like team budget size or project risk level.

Department-Specific Wins

For HR: Onboarding That Doesn’t Require 17 Signatures

New hire in Peerdom? ApproveThis triggers equipment, system access, and desk allocation approvals – routed based on the hire’s department, location, and role tier. Plus, approvers get nudged via email so IT doesn’t chase down managers.

For Finance: Budget Approvals That Understand Context

ApproveThis uses Peerdom’s team hierarchy to escalate requests properly. A $5k marketing spend might need only the CMO’s approval… unless it’s for a high-risk client flagged in Peerdom, then it auto-adds Legal.

For Operations: Vendor Management That Scales

New vendor request in Peerdom? ApproveThis routes it to procurement, then legal, then the budget owner – with SLAs so purchases don’t get stuck in “approval limbo.”

Features You’ll Actually Use

• Email approvals: External partners approve without logging into Peerdom
• Thresholds: Auto-approve small spends but flag anything over team budgets
• Vacation coverage: Peerdom’s role maps define backup approvers

The Big Picture: Less Process, More Control

This integration works because it respects how mid-sized companies operate – fluid teams, shifting priorities, and exactly zero tolerance for “that’s how we’ve always done it” workflows. Peerdom keeps your structure honest, ApproveThis keeps decisions moving.
