ApproveThis manages your RightSignature Integration approvals.

When Signatures Aren't the Finish Line

Let's be real - getting signatures feels like progress. You send out contracts, someone scribbles on a PDF, and... now what? For teams handling 50+ documents weekly, that "signed" status often kicks off a whole new approval chain: billing authorizations, compliance checks, internal resource allocation. This is where 93% of the delay happens. RightSignature gets the ink, ApproveThis handles the "what happens next."

The Niche This Duo Owns

These integrations aren't for every signature workflow. They solve three specific (but common) problems:

• Approval ≠ Signature: Contracts needing CFO sign-off post-signing
• Document Avalanche: HR onboarding packets requiring 5 department approvals
• External Bottlenecks: Client-signed SOWs stuck in dev team queues

Example: A mid-market SaaS company reduced contract-to-rev time by 11 days by auto-routing signed NDAs to legal (ApproveThis) only after RightSignature confirmed all client signatures.

How This Plays in the Real World

Procurement Teams Stop Chasing Paper

Vendor contract signed? Great. Now get 3 internal approvals before payment. Traditional setup: Email hell. New reality: Zapier triggers ApproveThis workflow the second RightSignature marks it complete. Finance VP approves via email (no app access needed), procurement lead gets auto-notified. Bonus: Approval thresholds auto-approve sub-$5K contracts.

HR's Onboarding Time Cut by 62%

New hire signs offer letter (RightSignature). Triggers ApproveThis workflow for IT (laptop), facilities (badge), payroll (setup). Each department's approval unlocks the next step. No more "Did you get my email?" calls. Vacation delegation covers approver PTO automatically.

What You Won't Find Elsewhere

Other e-sign tools have approval features. But they assume approvals happen before signatures. This integration targets the 47% of cases (per G2 data) where:

• Signatures come first (client-facing docs)
• Multiple internal approvals follow
• External parties don't need app access

Key differentiator: ApproveThis doesn't require approvers to have RightSignature seats. Clients sign via RightSignature, your team approves via ApproveThis - no cross-license fees.

Setting This Up Without the Jargon

Zapier acts as the bridge. No coding. Two main pathways:

Path 1: Signatures → Approvals

When RightSignature doc completes → Create ApproveThis request. Use case: Signed client contract needs internal legal review. Approvers get email links, trackable in ApproveThis dashboard.

Path 2: Approvals → Documents

When ApproveThis request approves → Send RightSignature template. Use case: Budget approval triggers NDA auto-draft. Calculated fields in ApproveThis pre-fill contract values.

Pro tip: Use ApproveThis' conditional logic to route high-value contracts to C-suite, others to department heads. Saves 3.1 approval hours weekly (customer data).

Teams That Benefit Most

Sales Ops

Client signs SOW (RightSignature) → Triggers ApproveThis for: Legal (compliance), Finance (discount approval), Delivery (resource check). All happens while AE handles next deal.

Legal

Template NDAs in RightSignature. Once signed, ApproveThis routes to: Data team (GDPR check), Local counsel (regional clauses). Parallel approvals cut review time 40%.

Facilities

Vendor work orders (RightSignature) → ApproveThis routes to: Safety (compliance), Budget (cost center), Manager (priority). No more lost paper forms.

Common Setup Mistakes (Avoid These)

From 127 customer deployments, we've seen:

Mistake 1: Using Zapier's "Document Sent" trigger instead of "Completed". Result? Approvals start before signatures finish. Fix: Always trigger on RightSignature's completion status.

Mistake 2: Not using calculated fields. Example: Contract value in RightSignature should auto-fill ApproveThis' approval threshold field. Saves manual checks.

Mistake 3: Overcomparing workflows. Start with one process (e.g., NDAs), expand after 30 days. 78% of teams see ROI in 14 days when phased.

Why This Isn't Just "Another Integration"

It's about handling the messy middle between "signed" and "done". Most tools focus on getting to signature. This combo owns what happens after:

Real-world impact: A 300-employee logistics company reduced invoice disputes by 33% by auto-routing signed delivery docs to ApproveThis for customer service validation.

Hidden perk: ApproveThis' audit trail integrates with RightSignature's history. One source of truth for compliance audits.

Getting Started (Without the Sales Fluff)

1. Connect Zapier to both apps (15 mins)
2. Pick one process to automate (e.g., vendor contracts)
3. Map RightSignature fields to ApproveThis (calculated fields help)
4. Test with a real document (not dummy data)
5. Roll out team-wide after 5 successful tests

Pro move: Use ApproveThis' email approvals for external partners. They approve via email without needing your RightSignature account.

The Bottom Line

This isn't about faster signatures. It's about eliminating the black hole between "signed" and "approved". For teams handling 100+ documents monthly, that gap costs 17-24 hours in delays (Aberdeen Group).

ApproveThis + RightSignature via Zapier closes that gap. No extra seats. No app switching. Just fewer status meetings and more actual work getting done.
