ApproveThis manages your Priority Integration approvals.

When Boring Software Gets a Personality Transplant

Let's be real - approval processes suck. They're the soggy lettuce in your business workflow sandwich. And ERP systems? They're the necessary evil we tolerate because someone has to track inventory and process orders. But here's the twist: when you jam an approval automation tool like ApproveThis into Priority ERP through Zapier, something weird happens. Things start working. Like, actually working. No more chasing down VPs in parking lots. No more "I thought you approved that" emails. Just...progress.

Why This Combo Doesn't Just Work - It Actually Solves Sh*t

Priority handles your nuts and bolts. ApproveThis handles the humans. Together through Zapier, they create what engineers call a "closed-loop system" and what the rest of us call "not wasting 37% of our week on approval BS".

The Nerd Stuff That Matters

ApproveThis brings the muscle where Priority taps out:

• No License Tax: Your Priority approvers don't need Priority licenses. External partners? Contractors? That CFO who still uses AOL email? They can approve directly from their inbox.
• Approval GPS: See exactly where requests get stuck instead of playing corporate Where's Waldo?
• Autopilot Mode: Under $500 PO? Auto-approved. Vendor not on approved list? Escalated before you finish your cold brew.

Real Companies Doing Real Things (Without Faking It)

Use Case 1: The Sales Team That Finally Closed Something

Scenario: Mid-sized industrial supplier with 12 regional sales managers constantly overriding price quotes.

How It Works:

1. Priority detects a sales order discount exceeding 15%
2. Zapier fires the details to ApproveThis
3. Regional director gets an email: "Approve 22% discount for Acme Co? [Yes/No]"
4. Approval triggers Priority order processing automatically

Result: Cut approval delays on large orders from 3 days to 90 minutes. Sales ops team stopped threatening to unionize.

Use Case 2: Procurement Team's Red Tape Diet

Scenario: Food distributor needing 4 signatures for any vendor contract over $10k.

The Fix:

New Priority vendor entry → ApproveThis routes based on contract value:

• $0-$9,999: Auto-approved with manager CC
• $10k-$50k: Sequential approval (Ops → Finance)
• $50k+: Escalates to COO with full vendor risk analysis attached

Outcome: Reduced "urgent" vendor setup requests by 68%. Accounts payable stopped using the phrase "I told you so" in meetings.

Setup That Doesn't Require a PhD

Here's the skinny for time-crunched teams:

1. Grab your Priority API keys (your IT person knows where they hide these)
2. Connect Priority to Zapier (takes 4 minutes if you type fast)
3. Pick your trigger in Priority - new order, updated contact, whatever's causing you pain
4. Map the data points ApproveThis needs (amount, vendor name, that one custom field everyone forgets about)
5. Set approval rules in ApproveThis - who decides what, when, and how urgently

Pro tip: Start with one process that's currently causing daily fires. Nail that, then expand. Your team will think you're a wizard.

Department-Specific Wins (Because Silos Suck)

Finance Team

Priority flags invoice discrepancies → ApproveThis routes to AP with original PO attached. Controllers get audit trails without the migraines.

Operations

Inventory replenishment requests auto-route based on:

• Item criticality
• Supplier lead time
• Current stock vs. sales velocity

Warehouse managers stop making "emergency" runs to Costco.

Sales Ops

Deal registration approvals tied directly to Priority's CRM data. Channel partners get instant yes/no instead of waiting days. Your partner portal stops looking like a ghost town.

The Part Where We Tell You What To Do Next

If you're still manually routing approvals through Priority alone, you're essentially using a Ferrari to deliver pizzas. Cool engine noise, terrible ROI.

Here's your playbook:

1. Pick Your Pain Point: What approval process causes the most late-night swearing?
2. Steal Our Template: Use the Priority-Zapier-ApproveThis combo as your starter kit
3. Go Live in a Week: Not months. Weeks. This isn't SAP implementation hell

ApproveThis works because it's not another platform - it's the glue between Priority and how humans actually work. No training videos required. No user manuals collecting dust. Just approvals that happen before your 3pm meeting gets derailed.

Wait, What About [Insert Obvious Question Here]?

Q: Does this require replacing our Priority setup?
A: Hell no. This plugs into your existing Priority instance like a turbocharger on a '92 Honda.

Q: What if approvers can't access Priority?
A: That's the point. Approvers get email links - no VPN, no login, no "I forgot my password again".

Q: How bulletproof is the audit trail?
A: Let's just say it's saved marriages. (Not really. But it does create immutable logs that make auditors oddly cheerful.)
