ApproveThis manages your Spark Chart Integration approvals.

When Approval Management Meets Survey Intelligence

Modern businesses live and die by two currencies: data and decisions. Spark Chart delivers the first through agile survey tools, while ApproveThis accelerates the second with structured approvals. Together through Zapier, they create a closed-loop system where insights trigger actions, and actions generate new insights. Marketing teams validate campaign changes before scaling. HR departments secure leadership buy-in for employee engagement initiatives. Research firms maintain quality control while hitting project deadlines.

Why This Integration Changes the Game

Spark Chart excels at capturing feedback, but raw data rarely drives immediate action. ApproveThis bridges this gap by adding accountability layers to your survey operations. Consider a product team testing a new feature – Spark Chart collects user reactions, while ApproveThis ensures only validated insights reach engineering teams. The integration eliminates manual handoffs between data collection and decision-making, particularly critical for organizations dealing with external clients or cross-departmental projects.

Key Synergies

Approval Thresholds Meet Survey Quotas: Configure Spark Chart to notify ApproveThis when participant quotas are reached, automatically triggering executive reviews for expanding sample sizes. A clinical research company could use this to maintain FDA compliance while accelerating trial phases.

Email Approvals Simplify External Collaboration: Third-party partners can approve survey design changes or report distributions via email without needing Spark Chart access. A consulting firm might use this to let clients approve customer satisfaction surveys before fielding.

Real-World Workflows for Different Teams

For Market Research Agencies

When Spark Chart detects a completed survey wave from 1,000 consumers, ApproveThis automatically routes the dataset for QC approval. Senior analysts receive email notifications with key metrics – if response quality meets pre-set thresholds, approval happens instantly. For borderline cases, the system escalates to project directors. This combo reduces time-to-insight by 3-5 days compared to manual reviews.

For HR Departments

Employee exit interviews in Spark Chart trigger ApproveThis workflows requiring HRBP and legal team sign-off before sharing trends with department heads. Approval groups ensure sensitive feedback gets reviewed sequentially – first by HR, then legal – with calculated fields redacting high-risk comments automatically. Vacation delegation prevents bottlenecks when key approvers are out.

For Academic Researchers

University teams use Spark Chart's quota triggers to request IRB approval extensions via ApproveThis when participant recruitment lags. Real-time dashboards show ethics committee members which studies need urgent attention, while automated reminders keep reviews on track. Post-approval, researchers instantly receive updated survey links to resume data collection.

Three Core Integrations Explained

1. Gatekeeping Survey Responses

Trigger: New survey participant completes assessment (Spark Chart)
Action: Launch approval workflow (ApproveThis)
Use Case: A financial services firm automatically flags high-risk KYC survey responses for compliance review before onboarding clients.

2. Scaling Data Collection Responsibly

Trigger: Survey reaches 80% participant quota (Spark Chart)
Action: Route quota expansion request (ApproveThis)
Use Case: A political polling organization requires partner approval before exceeding budgeted response targets during election cycles.

3. Closing the Feedback Loop

Trigger: Campaign proposal approved (ApproveThis)
Action: Generate post-approval feedback survey (Spark Chart)
Use Case: A healthcare provider automatically sends patient satisfaction surveys after approving new treatment protocols through ApproveThis.

Implementation Made Simple

Connecting Spark Chart and ApproveThis via Zapier takes under 15 minutes:

1. In Zapier, set Spark Chart as your trigger app (New Response/Quota Reached)
2. Select ApproveThis as the action app (Create Request)
3. Map Spark Chart fields to ApproveThis templates using calculated fields where needed

For advanced users: Layer in conditional logic so high-priority surveys bypass lower-level approvals. Use vacation delegation settings to ensure 24/7 review capacity across time zones.

Why Teams Choose This Combo

Product Managers: Speed up feature validation by tying NPS survey results to product change approvals. Calculated fields auto-approve features scoring above 8.0.

Compliance Officers: Maintain audit trails showing exactly when survey data was approved for use in regulatory filings.

Client Services Teams: Let customers approve project milestones via email without exposing internal Spark Chart dashboards.

Beyond Basic Approvals

ApproveThis adds unique value through features most teams don’t realize they need until they try them:

Calculated Fields: Automatically flag Spark Chart responses requiring urgent review based on custom formulas (e.g., sentiment scores below 4/10).

Parallel vs Sequential Reviews: Choose whether legal and marketing teams review survey designs simultaneously or in sequence.

Threshold Auto-Approve: Set rules where surveys with 95%+ completion rates get instant approval, freeing managers to focus on edge cases.

Common Challenges Solved

Problem: Survey data sits unused awaiting approvals.
Fix: Real-time ApproveThis dashboards show exactly which stage each dataset is in, with SLA alerts for overdue reviews.

Problem: External partners delay projects by not logging into tools.
Fix: Clients approve survey reports via email while internal teams use the ApproveThis portal.

Future-Proofing Your Process

As Spark Chart adds AI-driven survey insights, ApproveThis ensures human oversight keeps pace. Imagine auto-generated survey recommendations requiring manager approval before implementation – the integration handles this handoff seamlessly. Teams maintain control while benefiting from automation.
