ApproveThis manages your PeopleForce Integration approvals.

When Bureaucracy Meets Automation Magic

Let's be real - HR teams didn't sign up to play paperwork ping-pong. Yet here we are, stuck routing vacation requests through Slack DMs and chasing down managers for salary change approvals. PeopleForce handles the heavy HR lifting, but those approval bottlenecks? That's where ApproveThis comes in like your favorite productivity superhero.

Connect these two through Zapier, and suddenly your HR ops team looks like geniuses. New hire needs sign-off? Automatically routes to the right people. Salary adjustment? Triggers compliance checks before anyone touches payroll. Offboarding checklist? Launches the second someone clicks "terminate."

Why This Combo Hits Different

Most approval tools make you choose between flexibility and control. ApproveThis gives you both, then plugs directly into PeopleForce's employee data through Zapier. Key advantages:

• No license tax: External approvers (think client managers or contractors) can approve via email without needing PeopleForce logins
• Thresholds that actually work: Auto-approve raises under 5% but escalate anything higher to the CFO
• Vacation mode done right: Jane from accounting OOO? Delegates approvals automatically so nothing stalls

Real example: A 250-person tech company reduced hiring manager follow-ups by 70% by auto-triggering approval workflows when PeopleForce gets new applicants. No more "Did you see my Slack about candidate X?"

Use Cases That Actually Matter

1. Hiring Without the Headaches

New applicant in PeopleForce? Auto-create an ApproveThis request with their resume, salary ask, and position details. Routes to hiring manager + department head based on role type. Bonus: Use calculated fields to flag candidates over budget before approval even starts.

Who kills it here: Manufacturing firms with high-volume seasonal hiring. Route temp worker approvals through plant managers and safety leads simultaneously instead of sequentially.

2. Salary Changes That Don't Haunt You at Audit Time

Someone updates compensation in PeopleForce? Freeze that change until ApproveThis checks it against budget thresholds. Under 3% merit increase? Auto-approved. Promotion with 15% bump? Requires CFO + HR Director review. Audit trail built-in.

Pro move: Financial services companies use this to ensure compliance officers review any commission structure changes before they go live.

3. Offboarding That Doesn't Leave Loose Ends

Terminate an employee in PeopleForce? ApproveThis instantly launches an offboarding workflow. IT approves device returns, Legal signs off on NDA continuance, Finance confirms final paycheck details. All before HR sends the goodbye email.

Savvy play: Healthcare providers use this to automatically revoke system access while ensuring patient data handoff compliance.

Setup That Won't Make You Hate Tech

1. Create your Zap with PeopleForce as the trigger app
2. Pick your event (new applicant, termination, etc.)
3. Add ApproveThis as the action app
4. Map PeopleForce data to your approval template
5. Test with a real request (try approving your own lunch reimbursement for funsies)

Pro tip: Use ApproveThis' conditional logic to handle edge cases. Example: If applicant is for a director+ role, add extra approval steps automatically.

Department Wins That Look Good on Your Resume

HR Teams

Cut approval cycle times from days to hours by eliminating manual routing. Vacation delegation means no more "Waiting on Karen's reply" statuses. Real-time dashboards show execs exactly where bottlenecks are (hint: it's never you).

Finance Teams

Auto-flag any PeopleForce-initiated changes that hit your budget thresholds. Require pre-approval for capital expenditures or headcount additions. Bonus: Audit-ready logs of who approved what and when.

Operations Teams

Sync approved equipment requests from PeopleForce to your procurement system. Auto-create Jira tickets when IT approvals come through. Basically, be the glue that makes everyone else look organized.

The Part Where We Tell You What To Do Next

If you're still manually forwarding approval emails or worse - using printed forms - this is your intervention. ApproveThis works where spreadsheets and "reply-all" hell fail.

Grab a free trial and connect it to your PeopleForce account in under 10 minutes. Or book a demo to see how conditional approvals work with your specific HR workflows. Either way, stop being the approval bottleneck and start being the person who fixed this mess.

Wait, Does This Actually Work?

Let's get cynical for a second. You're thinking:

"Our approval process is too unique." Cool, we handle multi-tier manufacturing sign-offs and healthcare compliance chains daily. Your complexity isn't special.

"We need IT to manage this." Your Zapier connection takes 15 minutes to set up. IT has bigger fires to put out.

"What if people ignore the approval emails?" Escalation rules and mobile-friendly approvals. Plus, you can shame slackers with the public audit trail.

Bottom line: If you can describe your approval process without drawing a flowchart, we can automate it. If you do need a flowchart...we'll help simplify that first.
