When Thryv Meets Approval Automation

Let's cut to the chase - if you're using Thryv to manage clients but still chasing down approvals via email chains or Slack pings, you're leaving money on the table. ApproveThis isn't just another "approval tool." It's the missing layer that turns Thryv from a management platform into a decision-making engine. Connect them through Zapier, and suddenly those client onboarding delays, invoice approval bottlenecks, and appointment scheduling headaches start solving themselves.

Why This Combo Doesn't Just Work - It Prints Money

Thryv keeps your client data organized. ApproveThis keeps your team decisive. Together through Zapier, they create closed-loop systems where:

  • New client intake in Thryv auto-triggers compliance checks or conflict reviews
  • Approved appointments in ApproveThis push confirmed bookings back to Thryv calendars

Real-world math: A 50-person marketing agency using this integration reduced client onboarding time from 48 hours to 90 minutes. How? Because their Thryv-to-ApproveThis workflow automatically routes every new client request through legal, finance, and operations - without requiring those approvers to log into Thryv.

Use Cases That Actually Move Needles

These aren't theoretical "maybe someday" scenarios - these are workflows our customers implement every Tuesday:

1. Client Onboarding That Doesn't Suck

When Thryv detects a new client (contract signed, intake form submitted, etc.), ApproveThis automatically:

  • Routes NDAs to legal via email (they approve without leaving Outlook)
  • Sends payment terms to your CFO (approved via SMS if they're traveling)
  • Triggers Thryv service assignments once all boxes are checked

Who kills it here: Law firms. One 200-attorney practice auto-approves conflict checks using ApproveThis' conditional thresholds. If potential conflicts exist, escalations happen before the client gets added to Thryv - saving $18k/month in malpractice insurance claims.

2. Appointments That Don't Ghost You

New Thryv calendar bookings → ApproveThis checks:

  • Is this client payment-compliant? (Auto-approve if under $500)
  • Does the requested specialist have bandwidth? (Sequential approvals)

Real results: A 350-employee HVAC company reduced no-shows by 62% by requiring deposit approvals before Thryv appointments are confirmed. Approvers get SMS alerts - they tap to approve, Thryv auto-confirms the booking. No apps needed.

3. Invoices That Get Paid, Not Argued Over

Thryv-generated invoices trigger ApproveThis workflows where:

  • Discounts over 10% require VP sign-off
  • Custom calculations apply late fees only after finance approves

Cold hard stats: A mid-sized PR agency using this combo slashed invoice disputes by 41% by attaching approval audit trails to every Thryv invoice. Clients see exactly who approved what terms - no more "I didn't agree to this" excuses.

Setup That Won't Make You Hate Technology

Connect Thryv → ApproveThis in Zapier in under 12 minutes:

  1. In Zapier, choose Thryv as your trigger app (New Client, Appointment, etc.)
  2. Select ApproveThis as your action app (Create Request)
  3. Map Thryv data to approval fields (client name → requester, invoice amount → $ threshold)

Pro tip: Use ApproveThis' calculated fields to auto-flag invoices needing exec review. Example: "If Thryv invoice amount > $15k, require CFO approval."

Department-Specific Wins (No Fluff)

Operations Teams: Ever had a $50k equipment purchase approved...after the project started? ApproveThis' real-time dashboards show every pending Thryv-triggered request. Delay reports? Gone.

Sales Teams: New Thryv lead hits $100k+ potential? Approval workflows auto-notify sales directors to assign your best closers. No more spreadsheet roulette.

Finance Teams: ApproveThis logs every Thryv invoice approval with timestamps and comments. Audit season just became your vacation season.

The Silent Killer Feature Everyone Misses

ApproveThis approvers don't need Thryv licenses. Client needs to approve a contract? Send them an ApproveThis link. Vendor disputing an invoice? They can reject/comment without Thryv access. This alone saves our clients $3k-$8k/month in software bloat.

Bottom Line: This Isn't "Nice to Have" Anymore

Thryv organizes your chaos. ApproveThis forces decisions on that chaos. Together via Zapier, they create what we call "business velocity" - the speed at which opportunities turn into revenue. Waiting a week for client onboarding approvals isn't "process" - it's revenue leakage. Delaying appointments because someone's OOO isn't "caution" - it's client service failure.

Your move: Get started with ApproveThis (free 14-day trial), or if you're the skeptical type, book a 12-minute demo where we'll build your first Thryv integration live.

P.S. If you're still manually approving Thryv client requests in 2024, your competitors already think you're cute.
