ApproveThis manages your RowShare Integration approvals.

When Spreadsheets Meet Approval Chains

Let’s be real – most companies handle approvals like a game of broken telephone. Someone updates a RowShare table, fires off a slack message, then waits days for someone to notice. Meanwhile, procurement requests stall, marketing campaigns get delayed, and someone’s always chasing down signatures.

ApproveThis fixes this by turning RowShare data into structured approval workflows that actually move. Think: automatic routing based on dollar amounts, real-time status updates, and approvals that happen via email so even your least tech-savvy vendor can sign off.

Why This Combo Works (Besides Saving Your Sanity)

RowShare’s great for keeping teams aligned on dynamic data – inventory levels, campaign plans, client onboarding checklists. But when those spreadsheets need decisions? That’s where things get messy. ApproveThis adds guardrails without bureaucracy:

• No more approval black holes: Track every request in real time – who has it, how long it’s been there, what’s blocking it.
• Rules over chaos: Auto-approve small spends, escalate big ones to the CFO, route HR stuff to the right department.

Example: A mid-sized e-commerce company uses RowShare to track inventory purchase requests. Their old process? Email chains that got buried. Now, any RowShare entry over $5K auto-triggers an ApproveThis workflow requiring CFO + warehouse manager approval. Result: 60% faster purchase orders.

Three Ways This Integration Actually Gets Used

1. Procurement That Doesn’t Require Mind Reading

The Zap: New RowShare entry → ApproveThis request with amount, vendor, details.
Who cares? Manufacturing teams managing equipment purchases. Instead of waiting for a manager to check the spreadsheet daily, approvals kick off instantly. Finance gets automatic audit trails.

Pro tip: Use ApproveThis’ calculated fields to auto-flag requests that exceed department budgets.

2. Client Onboarding Without the Tag-Team Emails

The Zap: Approved client contract in ApproveThis → Update RowShare project tracker.
Who cares? Agencies juggling 20 client projects. Legal approves NDAs in ApproveThis, which auto-updates the RowShare client status. No more “Did legal clear this?” slack pings.

Hidden win: Approvers don’t need RowShare access. Send contracts to external lawyers via email, get decisions back without logins.

3. Marketing Campaigns That Launch Before the Trend Dies

The Zap: RowShare content calendar update → ApproveThis for compliance review.
Who cares? Healthcare companies needing legal sign-off on promos. Any edit to the “social posts” row triggers compliance approval. No more version control nightmares.

Bonus: Use approval thresholds – auto-approve minor copy changes, escalate anything with medical claims.

Setting This Up Without Needing a PhD in Zapier

1. Create your Zap starting with RowShare’s “New/Updated Row” trigger.
2. Map critical fields to ApproveThis – amount, department, request type.
3. Set approval rules in ApproveThis: who approves what, escalation paths, auto-approve thresholds.
4. Test with a $1 mock request. Fix routing, then go live.

Common snag: Don’t just send the whole RowShare row into ApproveThis. Extract only what approvers need – too much data causes decision paralysis.

Team-Specific Wins (No Fluff)

Finance Teams

Kill manual data entry. ApproveThis pulls amounts/vendors from RowShare, auto-logs approvals in your ERP. Auditors get clean records; controllers get fewer last-minute approvals.

Operations Managers

Track SLAs natively. See which purchase requests stall at “warehouse review” weekly. Use ApproveThis’ vacation delegation so approvals don’t die when someone’s OOO.

External Collaborators

Client needs to approve a spec sheet? Send via ApproveThis email. They click approve, which updates RowShare. No guest logins, no teaching non-techies new tools.

Why This Isn’t Just Another Integration

Most approval tools make you choose between flexibility and control. ApproveThis + RowShare gives both:

• Dynamic data handling: Calculated fields adjust approval paths based on real-time RowShare inputs.
• No app switching: Approvers act via email; requesters live in RowShare.

Example: A construction firm tracks equipment rentals in RowShare. When rental costs exceed $10K, ApproveThis auto-adds a safety compliance check step. Less paperwork, fewer OSHA violations.

Ready to Stop Herding Approvals?

If your RowShare tables are the truth but approvals are a lie, it’s time to fix the disconnect. ApproveThis adds structure where you need it, flexibility where you don’t.

P.S. Zapier makes this integration stupidly simple. If you can update a RowShare row, you can automate approvals.
