ApproveThis manages your Range Integration approvals.

Two Platforms, One Unified Workflow

When team check-ins meet structured approvals, magic happens. Range brings teams together through daily syncs and action tracking, while ApproveThis adds accountability through controlled decision-making. Together through Zapier, they create closed-loop workflows where updates automatically trigger approvals, and approvals automatically update team records - no more chasing down signatures or wondering if action items got greenlit.

Marketing agencies use this combo to approve client-facing updates during morning standups. Engineering teams automate code deployment sign-offs tied to sprint retrospectives. HR departments fast-track employee requests mentioned in 1:1 check-ins. The pattern holds across industries: when you connect real-time team communication with formal approval chains, you eliminate process gaps that slow down execution.

Why This Integration Changes the Game

Range excels at capturing team momentum - check-ins, meeting notes, and action items flow naturally through its interface. ApproveThis brings governance to that momentum without bureaucracy. Through Zapier, these platforms hand off critical data exactly when needed:

• Check-ins → Approval requests (no more "Did you submit that for review?")
• Approval decisions → Team activity feeds (no more "Who approved this?")

Unlike clunky enterprise systems, this integration respects how modern teams actually work. Approvers get requests via email (no Range license needed) while teams maintain visibility in Range. Approval thresholds auto-approve small expenses mentioned in check-ins but escalate big budget asks. Vacation delegation prevents bottlenecks when team members are OOO - critical for global teams with constantly shifting availability.

Real-World Workflows That Deliver Results

1. Check-In Validation for Distributed Teams

A 45-person remote-first SaaS company uses Range check-ins to track client project updates. Their Zapier integration with ApproveThis automatically:

1. Creates approval requests when engineers mention code deployments in check-ins
2. Routes to DevOps leads based on deployment size ($500+ triggers CTO review)
3. Posts approval decisions back to Range as resolved action items

Result: 68% faster deployment cycles with full audit trails. Client-facing teams now reference approval timestamps during stakeholder updates.

2. Meeting Action Accountability

A financial services firm links Range meeting notes to budget approvals:

1. New action item in Range → Auto-creates ApproveThis request
2. CFO approves/denies via email (no Range access needed)
3. Decision logs in Range with context from original meeting

Result: 92% of quarter-end budget adjustments now get finalized within meeting week vs. dragging across months.

3. Compliance-Friendly Check-In Tracking

Healthcare teams use Range for shift handoffs but need HIPAA-compliant approval chains. Their integration:

1. Converts sensitive patient care notes in Range into ApproveThis requests
2. Requires sequential approvals from charge nurse → department head
3. Archives approved records with calculated fields for audit compliance

Result: 40% reduction in compliance review time during Joint Commission audits.

Setup Made Simple (15 Minutes to Live)

Connect Range and ApproveThis through Zapier in three steps:

1. Trigger: Choose your Range event (new check-in/meeting action)
2. Action: Map key data to ApproveThis request fields
3. Test: Run a live check-in → approval → decision loop

Pro Tip: Use ApproveThis' calculated fields to auto-set thresholds based on Range data (e.g., "If check-in tags #budget, require CFO approval on amounts over $10K").

Department-Specific Wins

People Ops Teams

Automate employee experience workflows:

• Range check-in: "Requesting leadership training budget"
• → Auto-approval if under $1,500 via ApproveThis thresholds
• → Escalates to CHRO with one click if over limit

Approvers get branded emails matching your HRIS - no app switching for employees.

Finance Teams

Close books faster with:

• Range meeting action: "Q3 vendor contract renewal"
• → Parallel approvals from Legal/Procurement
• → Auto-denies if missing Risk score in calculated fields

Bonus: Approval groups ensure quorum on critical decisions without in-person meetings.

Project Managers

Maintain velocity with:

• Range standup note: "Ready for client demo"
• → Conditional approval path (internal QA vs. client-facing)
• → Real-time dashboard shows pending/approved demos

PMO directors report 23% fewer scope creep issues post-implementation.

The Bottom Line

Range gives teams voice; ApproveThis gives that voice impact. By connecting daily updates to formal approvals, organizations finally fix the "we talked about it but never decided" problem. Marketing approvals sync with campaign check-ins. IT change requests tie to sprint retrospectives. Employee ideas from all-hands meetings route to proper review chains.

Implementation takes minutes, but the efficiency gains compound daily. Teams using both platforms report:

• 47% faster approval cycles
• 31% reduction in "Who approved this?" meetings
• 84% better audit trail completeness
