ApproveThis manages your Reviews On My Website Integration approvals.

Why Combine Approval Workflows with Customer Reviews?

Modern businesses face two critical challenges: maintaining efficient internal processes and managing customer perceptions. Reviews On My Website solves the latter by helping companies collect and display authentic customer feedback. ApproveThis tackles the former by streamlining approval workflows across teams. When connected through Zapier, these platforms create a closed-loop system for managing both operational efficiency and customer experience.

Consider this scenario: A negative review requires immediate attention from leadership, but email chains and Slack messages delay resolution. With this integration, urgent feedback automatically triggers approval workflows, ensuring swift escalation to decision-makers. Conversely, teams can automatically request customer reviews after finalizing key decisions - turning internal approvals into opportunities for external validation.

Strategic Advantages for Cross-Functional Teams

Marketing Teams: From Approval to Advocacy

Marketing departments managing customer testimonials can use this integration to:

• Automatically flag exceptional reviews for social media amplification
• Route negative feedback to customer support managers within approval workflows

Example: A restaurant chain uses conditional approval thresholds to immediately share 5-star reviews on social channels while routing 3-star ratings to regional managers for service recovery initiatives.

Customer Support: Closing the Feedback Loop

Support teams gain real-time oversight of customer sentiment through:

• Automated review collection after ticket resolution
• Escalation paths for recurring issues identified in feedback

Case Study: An HVAC company automatically requests reviews after completing service approvals in ApproveThis, increasing feedback volume by 40% while maintaining 4.8/5 average ratings.

Executive Leadership: Data-Driven Decisions

ApproveThis' calculated fields enable leadership to:

• Correlate approval cycle times with review sentiment changes
• Prioritize process improvements based on customer-impacting bottlenecks

Core Integration Use Cases

1. Structured Review Moderation Workflows

When Reviews On My Website detects new feedback, ApproveThis automatically:

- Applies conditional logic to handle sensitive feedback
- Tracks response timelines through real-time dashboards

Practical Application: A healthcare provider automatically redacts PHI from reviews before routing to compliance officers, reducing regulatory risk while maintaining transparency.

2. Post-Approval Feedback Collection
