Why Approval Automation Matters Now
Businesses using Sendpoint.io already understand the value of frictionless form data collection. But what happens after the submission? Manual routing of requests via email chains or disjointed systems creates bottlenecks that cost time, money, and client trust. ApproveThis solves this by adding intelligent approval automation to Sendpoint's robust form capabilities.
Together, these platforms create closed-loop systems where submissions automatically trigger approval workflows with conditional routing, real-time tracking, and compliance-ready audit trails. Marketing teams get faster creative sign-offs. Procurement departments reduce purchase order delays. Client services teams maintain SLAs on contract approvals. The integration works through Zapier, requiring no custom code.
Core Capabilities: What Each Tool Brings
Sendpoint.io's Form Superpowers
Sendpoint.io eliminates backend complexity for teams collecting data through web forms, mobile apps, or third-party platforms. Its submission endpoints act as centralized hubs for intake processes ranging from client onboarding questionnaires to internal IT requests.
ApproveThis' Approval Engine
ApproveThis adds structured decision-making to unstructured workflows. Key features like multi-step approvals with conditional logic ensure requests move to the right people based on submission data. Approval thresholds automatically greenlight low-risk items while escalating others. Crucially, approvers don't need Sendpoint.io licenses - external clients or cross-departmental teams can review requests via email without added software costs.
Real-World Workflows: Beyond Theory
Procurement Process Overhaul
A manufacturing company uses Sendpoint.io forms for purchase requests from 12 global facilities. Previously, finance managers wasted hours each week manually sorting submissions into spreadsheets. Now:
- Submissions over $5K auto-route to department heads + CFO
- Under $5K requests get instant approval via threshold rules
- Delayed approvals trigger SMS alerts through Zapier+Twilio
Result: 68% faster purchase order processing with full audit trails.
Client-Driven Approvals
A marketing agency handles 50+ client content approvals weekly. Their old Google Sheets system caused version control issues and missed deadlines. The new flow:
- Sendpoint.io captures final drafts via client-facing form
- ApproveThis routes to assigned client contacts via email
- Automated reminders prevent bottlenecks
Result: 40% reduction in approval cycle times with branded client portals.
Technical Integration Made Simple
Connecting Sendpoint.io to ApproveThis takes under 15 minutes:
- Create Zapier account (if new to automation)
- Choose Sendpoint.io "New Form Submission" trigger
- Select ApproveThis "Create Request" action
- Map form fields to approval request details
- Set conditional rules (e.g., route high-value requests differently)
- Test with live submission
Pro Tip: Use ApproveThis' calculated fields to auto-flag submissions needing legal review based on contract value or keywords.
Department-Specific Wins
Human Resources
HR teams manage sensitive approvals for promotions, policy changes, and offboarding. Manual processes risk compliance gaps. Example workflow:
Sendpoint.io captures employee transfer requests → ApproveThis routes to department heads + HRBP → Vacation delegation ensures no delays during PTO → Approved requests auto-update HRIS via Zapier.
Finance & Accounting
AP teams processing vendor invoices via Sendpoint.io forms gain:
Auto-approvals for recurring suppliers under $10K → Three-way matching validation through calculated fields → Escalation paths for disputed charges → Real-time sync with NetSuite or QuickBooks.
Operations
Facility managers use the integration for:
Maintenance request prioritization → Vendor contract approvals with legal team oversight → Equipment purchase authorization → Automated work order creation upon approval.
Advanced Feature Synergies
Dynamic Decision-Making
ApproveThis' calculated fields enable smart routing based on Sendpoint.io submission data:
A healthcare provider automatically routes patient equipment requests exceeding $2K to insurance verification teams before clinical approval.
Compliance Without Complexity
Built-in audit trails meet regulatory requirements for industries like:
• Education: Grant proposal approvals
• Healthcare: PHI access requests
• Finance: Loan application reviews
Scaling Without Stumbling
As submission volumes grow, ApproveThis maintains control through:
Approval Groups: Rotate approvers to prevent burnout
Threshold Adjustments: Increase auto-approval limits as trust grows
