ApproveThis manages your RoundPie Integration approvals.

When Approval Meets Execution

Let's cut through the corporate jargon - you're here because your approval processes move slower than a DMV line, and your team's productivity tools aren't talking to each other. That's where pairing ApproveThis' approval automation with RoundPie's task execution creates something actually useful for mid-sized companies.

Think of it like peanut butter and jelly for operations teams: ApproveThis handles the decision-making bureaucracy while RoundPie executes the actual work. No more chasing down signatures in Slack or letting approved projects collect dust in someone's inbox.

Why This Combo Doesn't Suck

Most workflow tools either handle approvals or task management. This integration does both without requiring your CFO to approve another software budget. Here's the real-world math:

• 0 extra licenses needed for external approvers (clients, contractors, execs)
• 87% faster approval-to-execution cycles (based on customer data)
• 1 universal choke point eliminated between decisions and doing

The secret sauce? Using Zapier to connect ApproveThis' approval triggers with RoundPie's task automation. No dev team required.

Actual Use Cases for Actual Companies

1. The Approval-to-Task Pipeline

How it works: When ApproveThis greenlights a request, Zapier automatically creates a RoundPie task with deadlines and priorities already set.

Who cares: Marketing agencies approving client content calendars. Once the compliance team approves the calendar in ApproveThis, RoundPie immediately breaks it into timed writing/design tasks with built-in review buffers.

2. Task Completion → Automatic Approval Requests

How it works: Finish a RoundPie task? It triggers an ApproveThis request for quality check before moving to next phase.

Who cares: Manufacturing teams assembling custom components. Each assembly line completion in RoundPie auto-requests engineering approval in ApproveThis before shipping.

3. The Deadline Enforcer

How it works: New ApproveThis request = automatic RoundPie timer starts. No more "I thought you were handling that" emails.

Who cares: Legal teams reviewing contracts. Every new contract request in ApproveThis starts a 25-minute review timer in RoundPie, ensuring partners actually stick to SLAs.

Setting This Up Without Losing Your Mind

If you can make toast, you can connect these tools:

1. Create your approval workflow in ApproveThis (takes 6 minutes avg)
2. Connect to RoundPie via Zapier (2 minutes)
3. Test with one real request (3 minutes)

Pro tip: Start with your most annoying approval process - usually expense reports or client deliverables. The quick win keeps leadership off your back while you scale to other workflows.

Department-Specific Wins

HR Teams

Approving new hires? Connect ApproveThis approvals to RoundPie onboarding task lists. New manager approval triggers 30/60/90-day checklists automatically.

Procurement Teams

Vendor contract approvals in ApproveThis can auto-create RoundPie tasks for legal review, accounting setup, and vendor portal onboarding - all with built-in deadlines.

Client Services

Client approves scope change in ApproveThis → RoundPie automatically adjusts project timelines and reallocates team bandwidth. No more spreadsheet jockeys.

Why This Isn't Just Another Integration

ApproveThis brings three killer features that make this combo actually work:

Vacation Delegation: Approver out sick? Requests auto-reassign without breaking the RoundPie task sequence.

Threshold Approvals: Expenses under $500 auto-approve and create RoundPie reimbursement tasks instantly. Over $500? Routes to proper approver first.

Email Approvals: External clients can approve directly from Gmail without needing RoundPie access. Tasks still get created in your system.

When Not to Use This

This isn't some magical fix-all. Skip it if:

• Your team still approves things via Post-It notes
• You enjoy playing middleman between departments
• "Streamlining processes" means forwarding emails

But if you've outgrown spreadsheets and want actual accountability between decisions and execution? Let's talk.

Next Steps for Non-Masochists

You've got two options:

1. Dip Your Toes: Sign up for ApproveThis, connect one simple approval workflow to RoundPie, and see how it feels.

2. Go All In: Book a demo where we'll map your messiest process to this integration. Bring your most cynical ops manager - we like a challenge.

Either way, stop letting approvals bottleneck your actual work. Life's too short for that.
