ApproveThis manages your Ryver Integration approvals.

When Chat Meets Checklist

Let’s be real – nobody wakes up excited to chase down approvals. But here’s the thing: when your team’s using Ryver for banter and tasks, and ApproveThis for keeping decisions moving, something cool happens. You stop being the approval police and start looking like the efficiency wizard who actually gets to leave work on time.

Ryver’s where your team lives – chat threads about project specs mixed with memes about the breakroom coffee. ApproveThis? That’s your silent enforcer making sure decisions get made without six follow-up messages. Connect them through Zapier, and you’ve basically built a self-service approval machine that doesn’t kill your team’s rhythm.

Why This Combo Doesn’t Suck

Mid-size companies aren’t drowning in bureaucracy yet, but they’re not exactly nimble startups either. You need process without paperweights. Here’s where stitching Ryver and ApproveThis actually matters:

For the Love of God, Stop Switching Tabs

Your creatives live in Ryver threads. Your finance team worships approval trails. Zapier bridges that gap so a budget request in chat becomes an official approval without someone manually copying data between apps. Less grunt work, fewer errors, zero “I thought you handled that” moments.

Approvals That Respect People’s Time (Including Yours)

ApproveThis handles the dirty work: pestering approvers, escalating stuck requests, logging every “yes” or “no.” Ryver keeps the conversation flowing where work happens. Together, they mean decisions get made in hours instead of days – without turning your chat into an audit trail.

The Secret Sauce for External Teams

Client needs sign-off on a deliverable? Vendor waiting on purchase order approval? ApproveThis lets external users approve via email (no Ryver license needed), while your internal team tracks everything in Ryver threads. No more “Can you check if the client replied?” – it’s all in the workflow history.

Real Sh*t You Can Automate Today

HR Teams: Onboarding Without the Papercuts

Scenario: New hire request pops up in Ryver. Zapier triggers an ApproveThis workflow that routes to department heads for budget approval, then to IT for equipment setup. Every approval or question happens in ApproveThis, but the HR lead gets status updates in their Ryver DM group. No more spreadsheet trackers.

Operations: When the Warehouse Needs Stuff

A manager posts a photo of a broken forklift part in Ryver. Zapier auto-creates a repair request in ApproveThis with approval thresholds: $500? Auto-approved. $5,000? Routes to the CFO. Approved? Ryver bot posts update in the maintenance channel. Denied? Procurement gets a chat alert to find cheaper alternatives.

Creative Agencies: Client Feedback Loops That Don’t Haunt You

Designer drops final proofs in a Ryver file folder. ApproveThis instantly generates a client approval request with watermarking and version control. Client approves via email (no login), Ryver auto-post the approved version to the creative team’s channel. No more “Which version did we go with?” threads.

Setting This Up Without Losing Your Mind

1. Pick Your Battles: Start with one high-friction approval process – say, PTO requests that always get lost in chat.
2. Build the Bridge: In Zapier, connect Ryver’s “New Chat Message” trigger to ApproveThis’ “Create Request” action. Filter to only watch specific channels or keywords.
3. Teach It to Swim: Use ApproveThis’ calculated fields to auto-flag requests over $X or from certain departments. Set up vacation delegates so July approvals don’t die when Bob’s on leave.
4. Let It Run: Test with a small team, then expand. Your future self will high-five you when Q4 audits are a breeze.

Features You’ll Actually Use

• Email Approvals: External partners approve without another login. They reply “Approved” and you’re golden.
• Thresholds: Let small expenses auto-approve while flagging big spends.
• Approval Groups: Need 3 devs to sign off on a code push? Set it once, forget about it.
• Real-Time Dashboard: Because sometimes you need to tell the CEO “Yes, it’s actually done” with data.

Why This Isn’t Just Another Integration

Ryver’s great at conversation. ApproveThis nails process. Together, they solve the “We’re collaborative but nothing gets documented” problem. Marketing can argue about campaign budgets in chat while the actual approval happens formally. Operations can request emergency purchases without 17 follow-up DMs. Everyone stays in their happy place.

Bottom Line

If your company’s big enough that “Hey, can you approve this?” is a daily ask, but small enough that buying another enterprise suite would give the CFO hives, this combo’s your play. You keep Ryver’s casual vibe while actually closing the loop on decisions.

Ready to stop herding cats? Get ApproveThis, keep using Ryver, and let Zapier do the boring stuff. Or book a demo if you need to see the magic first. Either way, your approval process is about to get way less annoying.
