ApproveThis manages your Surveypal Integration approvals.

When Surveys Meet Approvals: The Ultimate Feedback Loop

Let's cut through the corporate speak: approvals suck. Surveys can be worse. But when you connect an approval powerhouse like ApproveThis with Surveypal's feedback engine through Zapier, something actually useful happens. We're talking about turning survey responses into actionable decisions, or automatically gathering insights after an approval – without creating more work for anyone.

Why This Combo Works for Mid-Sized Companies

Companies between 50-5k employees hit a sweet spot: complex enough to need real processes, but small enough that duct-taped solutions break. Here's where this integration nails it:

• No license bloat: External partners approve via email (no Surveypal logins needed)
• Closed-loop tracking: See which approved requests actually improved customer satisfaction

Three Real Uses That Don't Require an MBA to Understand

1. From Survey Rant to Purchase Order in 48 Hours

A retail chain's customers keep complaining about out-of-stock items. Their Surveypal asks "What product did you want but couldn't find?" Each response triggers an ApproveThis workflow:

How it works: Warehouse manager gets an approval request with SKU details → If approved, triggers restock order in their inventory system. Finance gets a parallel approval if cost exceeds $5k. All approvers just click email links – no logins, no training.

2. Approval Audits That Don't Put People to Sleep

Healthcare providers use Surveypal's meta surveys after approving new vendor contracts. When ApproveThis marks a request "approved," it auto-sends a survey to the procurement team with contract details pre-filled. Six months later, they know which approved vendors actually delivered on SLAs.

3. HR That Doesn't Ghost Candidates

A tech company's HR team approves job offers through ApproveThis. The moment an offer gets final sign-off, Surveypal sends a candidate experience survey. No more "Why did our top pick accept another offer?" surprises – they get real-time feedback if their approval process is costing them hires.

Setup That Takes Less Time Than a Coffee Run

If you can forward an email, you can connect these tools:

1. Create a Zapier account (free tier works)
2. Pick your trigger: New Surveypal answer → ApproveThis request (or vice versa)
3. Map 2-3 key fields (like survey answer → approval description)

Pro tip: Use ApproveThis' calculated fields to auto-flag survey responses needing urgent review. Example: If a customer rates satisfaction ≤2/5, route to exec team automatically.

Teams That Win When These Tools Talk

Customer Support: From Complaints to Closed Tickets

Support teams get buried in NPS surveys. Connect Surveypal's negative feedback to ApproveThis for:

• Escalation approvals (Which angry customer gets a personal CEO call?)
• Compensation requests (Approve $50 credits without looping in Finance)

Finance: Audit Trails That Make Sense

Surveypal data shows clients want extended payment terms. Instead of endless meetings:

Route high-value client requests through ApproveThis with approval thresholds. Under $10k? Auto-approve. Over? Trigger a survey to Sales about client health before deciding.

Operations: Fixing What's Broken Before It Blows Up

Manufacturing teams use Surveypal for equipment checklists. Any "unsafe condition" response creates an ApproveThis request with:

- Automatic routing to maintenance supervisors
- Deadline escalation if not approved in 24hrs
- Post-repair survey to verify fix

Features You'll Actually Use (No Bloatware Here)

ApproveThis isn't another tool people forget to log into. Key features that matter with Surveypal:

Email approvals: Plant managers approve safety surveys from their phones during rounds.
Vacation delegation: CFO out? Sur veys about budget changes auto-route to COO.
Approval groups: Marketing survey about a new ad campaign? Require consensus from Legal and Compliance.

The Bottom Line: Decisions That Don't Get Stuck in the Mud

Connecting Surveypal and ApproveThis isn't about "digital transformation" – it's about:

- Cutting 3-day approval waits to 3 hours
- Knowing which approved decisions actually moved the needle
- Letting managers approve things between meetings (or during boring ones)

Next Steps That Won't Waste Your Time

If you've got Surveypal surveys sitting unused, or ApproveThis workflows that feel like busywork:

1. Register for ApproveThis (free 14-day trial)
2. Book a 20-minute demo to see the integration live
3. Or just connect your existing Surveypal via Zapier – takes 9 minutes

Final note: This works because it's not another "all-in-one" solution. ApproveThis handles the messy approval bits, Surveypal gets the feedback, and Zapier makes them talk. No PhD required.
