ApproveThis manages your Targetprocess Integration approvals.
April 17, 2025
Integration Category: Project Management
Let’s cut through the agile buzzwords: Your Targetprocess setup helps visualize work, but approvals still move at the speed of "I’ll get to it after standup." ApproveThis plugs directly into your Targetprocess workflows through Zapier, turning those "waiting on sign-off" columns into actual momentum. No more chasing down VPs in Slack or wondering if finance ever saw that budget request.
Why This Combo Works for Mid-Sized Teams Scaling Fast
Targetprocess gives you the big picture – features, bugs, sprints. ApproveThis handles the "who said yes" details. Together, they’re like giving your PMO a caffeine drip:
- Speed: Approval rules trigger automatically when features/bugs hit certain states
- Visibility: See approval statuses inside Targetprocess cards (no switching apps)
- Less Cross-Team Drama: Legal approves contracts without needing Targetprocess logins
Real Use Cases (Not Just Theory)
We’re not here to sell you workflow utopia. These are actual setups our clients use daily:
1. Product Teams: Kill Feature Scope Creep Early
New feature added in Targetprocess? Auto-send specs to ApproveThis for CTO/CPO review. If it gets denied, the feature card auto-reverts to backlog. Example: A healthtech company uses this to gate compliance risks – no HIPAA review, no sprint entry.
2. Dev Managers: Stop Bug Triage Black Holes
Critical bugs in Targetprocess trigger ApproveThis flows requiring lead engineer + QA sign-off before prioritization. Fixes the "is this actually P1?" debate wasting your sprint planning.
3. External Client Approvals (Without the License Fees)
Agency using Targetprocess? Clients approve milestones via ApproveThis email links – no Targetprocess seat required. One marketing agency cut 12 approval calls/week using this.
4. Finance Controls Meet Agile Sprints
Epics exceeding $10k budget? ApproveThis pings CFO via email, auto-updates Targetprocess state upon approval. Lets devs keep moving without budget blockers.
Setup Takes 15 Minutes (Seriously)
Connect via Zapier – no devs needed. Basic flow:
- Pick your Targetprocess trigger (new feature, bug, etc.)
- Map key fields to ApproveThis – due dates, requesters, docs
- Set who approves what (roles > individuals)
Pro tip: Use ApproveThis’ calculated fields to auto-flag high-risk requests. Example: If a Targetprocess bug impacts >5 user stories, require VP Eng approval.
Why This Isn’t Just Another Integration
Most approval tools bolt onto Targetprocess like a rusty sidecar. ApproveThis works because:
Approvers stay in their lane: Legal doesn’t need Targetprocess access to review contracts. They get email/Slack alerts, click approve, done. Audit trails live in ApproveThis.
Escalations that actually work: If your VP OOO, ApproveThis bumps to their deputy automatically. No more "waiting on Karen" tickets.
Budget thresholds: Auto-approve small expenses, flag big ones. Syncs back to Targetprocess so PMs know what’s greenlit.
Teams That Win With This Combo
Product Leaders: Gate features before they derail roadmaps. Get exec sign-off without 8-person Zoom hell.
Dev Managers: Stop bottlenecks where junior devs wait days for PR approvals. Connect GitHub PRs → ApproveThis → Targetprocess status updates.
QA Teams: Automate UAT sign-offs. Approved in ApproveThis? Targetprocess marks bug resolved, no Jira gymnastics.
Finance: Control PO approvals without micromanaging sprints. Get alerts when epics hit budget limits.
No, It Doesn’t Do Everything
ApproveThis won’t replace your Jira Service Desk or SAP. But for companies using Targetprocess as their agile backbone, it solves the "human delay" factor. You keep moving tickets, we’ll handle the approvals.
Getting Started
If your Targetprocess has more "waiting" columns than "done", it’s time. Book a 15-minute demo or just connect your Targetprocess instance and start a trial. No credit card, no sales pitch – we know you’ve got standup in 20 minutes.
