When "Just Approve It" Isn't Enough

Let's cut through the corporate speak: approvals suck. They're the traffic jams of business operations. Taptiq handles your front-end engagement - events, registrations, marketplace buys. ApproveThis handles the back-end decisions. Connect them via Zapier, and you've got a self-clearing highway for getting shit done.

This isn't about replacing human judgment. It's about removing the 17 emails, 3 Slack pings, and that awkward "Hey, did you see my request?" conversation at the coffee machine. For companies scaling from 50 to 5,000 employees, that difference decides whether you grow smoothly or faceplant into process hell.

What Happens When Engagement Meets Approval

Taptiq's strength? Turning casual browsers into registered users, event attendees, and buyers. ApproveThis' job? Making sure the right people sign off on those actions before they blow up your operations. Together, they handle:

  • Gatekeeping without bottlenecks: Auto-route event registrations needing VIP clearance
  • Money moves with guardrails: Validate marketplace purchases against budget limits

The kicker? Approvers don't need Taptiq logins. External partners can approve purchases via email while your team handles platform access. No more paying for unused seats.

Real-World Use Cases That Don't Feel Like Corporate Fluff

1. VIP Event Access Without the Spreadsheet Circus

The Problem: Your tech conference gets 5,000 registrations. 200 are VIP passes needing exec approval. Manually cross-referencing against sales pipelines? Nightmare fuel.

The Fix: Taptiq triggers an ApproveThis workflow when someone selects "VIP Pass." Routes to Sales Lead → CFO → Events Team. Approved? Auto-confirm registration. Denied? Send upgrade options. Bonus: Use Approval Thresholds to auto-approve renewals under $5K.

Who Cares: Event managers stop playing approval secretary. Sales teams vet high-value leads without leaving their CRM.

2. Marketplace Purchases That Don't Max Out Credit Cards

The Problem: Field team buys $10K gear via Taptiq's marketplace. Finance finds out post-purchase. Cue the screaming.

The Fix: Any "Buy" click over $500 triggers ApproveThis. Routes to department head → Procurement. Integrate Calculated Fields to show remaining budget. Approved? Order processes. Denied? Auto-email alternative vendors.

Who Cares: Finance keeps control without micromanaging. Field teams get faster approvals using mobile email.

3. User Profile Updates That Don't Require IT Intervention

The Problem: Marketing needs 50 user tags updated in Taptiq. IT's backed up for weeks. Growth stalls.

The Fix: Approval workflows with conditional logic:

Change title/team? Auto-approve via HR system sync. Access level increase? Route to IT + Department Head. Use Vacation Delegation so approvals never stall.

Who Cares: HR maintains compliance. IT focuses on real fires. Employees don't rage-quit over outdated profiles.

Setting This Up Without Losing Your Mind

Zapier's the glue here. No coding, just connect:

  1. Create Zap in Zapier
  2. Pick Taptiq trigger (New Registration, Buy Click, etc.)
  3. Add ApproveThis action (Create Request)
  4. Map fields: "VIP Pass" → $ value → approver group

Pro Tip: Use ApproveThis' Calculated Fields to auto-flag requests exceeding department budgets. Set it once, forget forever.

Why This Isn't Just Another Integration

Most approval tools are either too rigid (looking at you, legacy systems) or too basic (email chains count as "workflows"? Seriously?). ApproveThis bends without breaking:

For Finance Teams: Approval Thresholds act as auto-approve limits. Under $1K? Process immediately. Over? Escalate with context.

For Distributed Teams: Email-based approvals mean contractors or partners can approve without another SaaS login. They reply "Approved" → system updates automatically.

For Operations: Real-Time Tracking shows where approvals stall. Is Marketing sitting on requests? Now you know.

When to Use This vs. Building In-House

Let's be real: You could hack together approval logic in Taptiq. But then:

  • Every process change requires dev time
  • No centralized audit trail across departments
  • External approvers get locked out

ApproveThis becomes your approval layer across all tools - Taptiq today, Salesforce and Expensify tomorrow. One dashboard, not 12 spreadsheets.

Final Thought: Approval as a Growth Lever

Slow approvals don't just annoy people - they cost deals. A 2-day delay on vendor contracts? That's 48 hours competitors have to undercut you. Taptiq engages customers; ApproveThis keeps decisions moving. Together, they turn your team into a yes/no machine that actually works.
