Why Combine ApproveThis with Showroom?

Businesses thrive when data meets action. Showroom excels at gathering insights through quizzes, surveys, and tests, while ApproveThis turns those insights into decisions. Together, they create a closed-loop system where information triggers approvals, approvals drive outcomes, and outcomes are tracked in real time. This integration isn’t just about connecting tools – it’s about closing gaps between teams, data, and decision-makers.

Where Most Teams Get Stuck

Consider a marketing team using Showroom to validate campaign concepts. Without ApproveThis, survey results sit in spreadsheets while stakeholders debate next steps over email. Legal teams waste days chasing signatures for compliance quizzes. HR loses track of training completion approvals buried in Slack. These delays aren’t just annoying – they’re revenue leaks. ApproveThis plugs these leaks by adding structure, urgency, and audit trails to Showroom’s data collection.

Key Integration Benefits

Speed: Turn survey responses into approved actions within minutes, not days. A completed Showroom quiz can automatically generate an approval request with all context attached.
Compliance: Enforce approval chains for high-stakes responses (e.g., compliance training acknowledgments).
Cost Control: Use Showroom’s quiz scoring with ApproveThis’ approval thresholds to auto-approve low-risk items and escalate only exceptions.

Real-World Workflow Examples

1. HR Onboarding Acceleration

A healthcare provider uses Showroom to administer HIPAA compliance quizzes. When nurses score 90%+, ApproveThis automatically grants system access. Scores below 90% route to training managers with the exact missed questions highlighted. Result: 68% faster onboarding with full audit trails.

2. Marketing Budget Approvals

An e-commerce team runs Showroom surveys to test campaign concepts with external vendors. When 80% of vendors approve a concept via the survey, ApproveThis triggers a funding request to finance with all supporting data. Vendors don’t need ApproveThis licenses – they interact only with Showroom.

3. Education Program Compliance

Universities using Showroom for course evaluations set rules in ApproveThis: Any instructor rating below 4/5 requires dean review. Above 4? Automatic course renewal. This saves 22 hours/month in manual review cycles.

Technical Setup Made Simple

Connecting ApproveThis and Showroom via Zapier takes three steps:

  1. Trigger: Select Showroom’s “Quiz Completed” event
  2. Data Mapping: Pull key fields into ApproveThis – quiz scores, respondent info, timestamps
  3. Action: Configure ApproveThis rules (approvers, thresholds, escalation paths)

Pro Tip: Use ApproveThis’ Calculated Fields to auto-calculate risk scores based on Showroom’s quiz metrics. For example: (Time Spent) x (Wrong Answers) = Approval Urgency Score.

Department-Specific Wins

For Operations Teams

Link Showroom’s safety inspection checklists to ApproveThis’ conditional workflows. Facilities passing all checks get auto-approved, while failures alert maintenance leads with priority levels based on risk calculations.

For Sales Enablement

Product certification quizzes in Showroom trigger ApproveThis deal desk reviews. Sales reps scoring 100% get automatic pricing approval authority. Others require manager sign-off – with retest links embedded in rejection notices.

For Customer Success

Post-training surveys in Showroom feed into ApproveThis renewal workflows. Clients demonstrating mastery (via quiz results) receive auto-renewed contracts. Others get personalized check-in sequences.

Critical Features in Play

Approval Thresholds: Set Showroom score triggers – e.g., “Auto-approve if >85%, else escalate.”
Vacation Delegation: Ensure quiz-based approvals never stall when approvers are OOO.
Email Approvals: Let external partners (vendors, clients) approve requests without platform logins.

Why This Beats Manual Processes

A manufacturing client reduced equipment audit approvals from 14 days to 47 minutes by linking Showroom inspection forms to ApproveThis’ escalation rules. Their secret? Using approval groups to route issues – safety hazards go straight to plant managers, while minor fixes go to shift leads.

The Bottom Line

Approvals aren’t about control – they’re about confidence. By combining Showroom’s data collection with ApproveThis’ decision automation, teams can:

  • Cut approval cycle times by 60-80%
  • Reduce compliance risks with audit trails
  • Eliminate license costs for external approvers
