When Paperwork Meets Real-Time Communication
Let’s be honest: approval processes suck. They’re either stuck in email chains that go unanswered for days or buried in apps your vendors don’t use. Roezan SMS handles the urgent conversations – sales confirmations, shipping updates, last-minute client requests. ApproveThis handles the bureaucratic red tape. Together? They turn “waiting for sign-off” into a closed deal.
Here’s the kicker: Roezan’s text automations get eyeballs (people actually read texts). ApproveThis keeps the lawyers happy with audit trails. Connect them through Zapier, and you’ve got approvals that move at the speed of business, not bureaucracy.
Three Ways This Combo Actually Solves Real Problems
1. “Why Is This Taking So Long?” → Dead, Gone, Buried
Scenario: Your warehouse manager needs urgent approval to expedite a shipment. Email gets ignored. Slack gets buried. A text? That’s actionable.
How it works: New ApproveThis request → Auto-send SMS via Roezan to the decision-maker. They click the email link (yes, ApproveThis works in Gmail), approve, done. No app switching. No “I didn’t see the notification”.
Who cares: Operations teams in manufacturing, logistics, any business where delays cost real money. Bonus: approvers don’t need a Roezan login – critical when dealing with external partners.
2. Text Replies Become Actual Workflow Triggers
Scenario: Sales rep gets a text from a client: “Need 200 units by Friday.” Normally, this starts a game of telephone between sales, finance, and ops. Not anymore.
How it works: Roezan detects keywords (“200 units”) → Creates ApproveThis request with details pre-filled. Finance approves budget, ops confirms capacity – all within ApproveThis. Then, Roezan auto-texts the client: “Confirmed, tracking # by EOD.”
Who cares: Sales teams dealing with high-volume, time-sensitive orders. Especially useful for businesses with clients who prefer texting over emails.
3. Compliance Without the Headaches
Scenario: Marketing wants to blast a promo via SMS. Legal needs to approve the message. But legal’s backed up, and the campaign’s timing is tight.
How it works: Draft SMS in Roezan → Auto-create ApproveThis request for legal review. Once approved, Roezan sends the campaign. If denied, the requester gets a text explaining why. All permissions logged, no loose ends.
Who cares: Regulated industries (healthcare, finance), franchises with strict brand guidelines, anyone who’s been burned by a rogue SMS campaign.
Setup Takes 15 Minutes (We Timed It)
Zapier does the heavy lifting. Here’s the drill:
- Connect ApproveThis and Roezan to Zapier (basic accounts work)
- Pick your trigger: “New Request” in ApproveThis or “New Message” in Roezan
- Map the data: Which SMS template to send? Which ApproveThis workflow to start?
- Test with a real request (pro tip: use your cell # first)
No coding. No consultants. If you can forward an email, you can handle this.
Why This Isn’t Just Another Integration
ApproveThis handles the “who approved what” stuff you need for audits. Roezan handles the “get someone’s attention NOW” part. Together, they fix the two biggest approval bottlenecks:
Problem 1: Approvers ignore emails. Fix: Send a text with a direct link to approve/reject. Even better: Add calculated fields in ApproveThis so the SMS shows “Approve $5K shipment?” instead of vague jargon.
Problem 2: Approvals start in one app, die in another. Fix: Roezan texts can kick off ApproveThis workflows, and vice versa. Example: Client texts “Change order #1234” → Creates approval request → Once approved, Roezan texts them the update. No manual handoffs.
Teams That Actually Benefit (No Fluff)
Field Service & Logistics
Mechanic needs a $1,200 part approval? Text the manager via Roezan → ApproveThis handles the budget check → Auto-respond with “Approved, order placed.” All before the customer leaves the shop.
Sales Ops
Deals stuck waiting for contract sign-off? Trigger a Roezan SMS to the legal team with a link to ApproveThis. Escalate after 2 hours if no response. (Yeah, ApproveThis does escalation rules too.)
Marketing
Launching an SMS campaign? Route copy through legal via ApproveThis. Once approved, Roezan sends it. If changes are needed, comments sync back via text. No more “v4_FINAL_v2” docs.
No One Talks About This (But It Matters)
ApproveThis approvers don’t need a Roezan license. They just click a link in their email (or text) and approve. Huge when dealing with clients or execs who won’t log into yet another app. Also saves you $$$ on unused seats.
Plus, vacation delegation in ApproveThis means no approvals get stuck because someone’s on PTO. If the primary approver’s OOO, requests auto-route to their backup. Roezan can even text the backup: “You’re up – approve here.”
Bottom Line: This Isn’t About Texts
It’s about cutting the time between “We need a decision” and “Done.” Roezan SMS forces urgency. ApproveThis forces accountability. Together, they turn approval delays from a chronic issue into a solved problem.
If your team loses hours chasing sign-offs, or if clients complain about slow responses, this integration pays for itself in a week. Get started with ApproveThis, connect Roezan via Zapier, and watch those pending requests disappear.
