ApproveThis manages your StaffViz Integration approvals.

When Workforce Management Meets Approval Automation

Let’s cut to the chase: your team uses StaffViz to track time, manage projects, and keep clients in line. But when someone needs approval for a new client contract, project budget, or vendor payment, you’re still playing email tennis between departments. ApproveThis fixes that by turning StaffViz triggers into automated approval workflows that actually get decisions made.

Why This Combo Works for Teams That Move Fast

StaffViz tells you what’s happening with projects and clients. ApproveThis handles the “can we actually do this?” conversations. Connect them through Zapier, and you’ve got a system where:

• New StaffViz clients auto-trigger compliance reviews
• Approved projects immediately update team workloads
• Denied requests get logged without spreadsheet drama

The kicker? Approvers only need ApproveThis access – no extra StaffViz licenses required. Perfect for getting quick sign-offs from external partners or execs who shouldn’t need a PhD in your internal tools.

Real Workflows for Teams Who Hate Waiting

Client Onboarding That Doesn’t Require Mind Reading

Marketing agencies, consultancies, and anyone who bills hourly knows this pain: a sales rep closes a deal in StaffViz, but legal needs to vet the contract, finance checks payment terms, and operations confirms resourcing. Without automation, this becomes a game of forward-the-email-with-fingers-crossed.

How it works:

1. New client added in StaffViz
2. Zapier fires approval workflow in ApproveThis
3. Legal + finance get parallel approval tasks via email
4. Once both approve, client status auto-updates to “Active”

Approval groups with consensus rules mean no single approver becomes the bottleneck. Vacation delegation ensures the CMO’s ski trip doesn’t freeze new clients for a week.

Project Approvals That Respect Everyone’s Time

Product teams and construction firms live by project timelines. When a PM creates a new project in StaffViz, ApproveThis can auto-route budget approvals based on amount:

- Under $10K? Auto-approved with notification
- $10K-$50K? Department head approval
- Over $50K? CFO + legal review

Calculated fields in ApproveThis let you set tiered thresholds without manual checks. Real-time tracking shows exactly where delays happen – no more “I thought accounting had it!” excuses.

Client Updates That Don’t Require Data Entry Olympics

When a client contract gets renewed (or terminated) via ApproveThis, that decision automatically updates their StaffViz status. Customer success teams see real-time changes without:

1. Digging through approval emails
2. Manually toggling client states
3. Hoping someone remembered to update records

This two-way sync keeps sales, support, and billing teams aligned. No more serving cancelled clients because someone forgot to click a checkbox.

Who Actually Benefits From This Integration

Operations Teams: The Anti-Micromanagers

Stop herding cats for project kickoffs. Set conditional approval rules so basic requests auto-approve, while complex ones route to the right people. Real-time dashboards show bottlenecks before they blow up deadlines.

Finance Teams: Enforcers Without the Bad Rep

Auto-flag budget overages without being the “Department of No.” Approval thresholds let junior staff handle routine approvals, while exceptions escalate quietly. All decisions audit-ready in one place.

HR Teams: Policy Guardians Who Don’t Ghost

New contractor in StaffViz? Require approvals before access grants. Offboarding triggers equipment return checks. Vacation delegation means approvals don’t die when managers take PTO.

Setting This Up Without IT Hand-Holding

1. Create your ApproveThis account (takes 3 minutes)
2. Connect both apps via Zapier
3. Build your first Zap:
  - Trigger: New StaffViz client/project
  - Action: Create ApproveThis request
4. Set approval rules (thresholds, groups, etc.)
5. Test with real data

Pro tip: Start with one workflow (like client onboarding) before scaling to complex multi-step approvals. Most teams get their first Zap live in under 20 minutes.

The Bottom Line for Teams Tired of Approval Gridlock

ApproveThis + StaffViz isn’t about flashy features – it’s about eliminating the 72-hour email loops that make simple decisions feel like corporate theater. When you connect workforce data to approval automation, you get:

- Clients onboarded 65% faster
- Projects starting with actual budget approval
- Finance teams that can actually close the books on time

This isn’t “nice-to-have” tech for enterprises. For 50-5,000 person companies, it’s how you scale processes without hiring a bureaucracy department.

What Now?

If you’re using StaffViz and still handling approvals through Slack pings or reply-all emails, you’re leaving speed (and sanity) on the table. Get an ApproveThis demo to see how approval automation works with your existing tools. Or roll the dice and keep playing CC: tag with legal – your call.
