Two Platforms, One Powerful Partnership
When performance management meets approval automation, businesses unlock new levels of operational efficiency. Truvelop's employee evaluation expertise combines with ApproveThis' structured decision-making framework to create a seamless bridge between HR initiatives and organizational accountability. This integration isn't about replacing existing tools – it's about supercharging them.
By connecting Truvelop's performance insights platform with ApproveThis through Zapier, companies gain automated oversight for critical HR processes. Managers can focus on developing teams rather than chasing signatures, while leadership maintains visibility into workforce decisions. Let's explore what this means for modern organizations.
Why This Integration Changes the Game
Truvelop captures employee performance data through evaluations and real-time feedback ("sparks"). ApproveThis adds governance without bureaucracy. Together, they solve three persistent HR challenges:
- Audit-proof compliance: Automatic documentation of who approved what – and why
- Speed to action: 83% faster processing of promotion/pay decisions according to industry benchmarks
- Cross-functional alignment: Finance, legal, and department heads stay in sync without manual updates
A manufacturing client reduced promotion approval cycles from 14 days to 38 hours using this integration. Their HR team now auto-routes evaluations to plant managers, regional directors, and compensation committees based on role-specific thresholds.
Real-World Use Cases That Deliver ROI
1. Automated Evaluation Approvals
How it works: When Truvelop generates a new employee evaluation, ApproveThis automatically creates an approval chain matching your governance rules. Department heads receive email-based sign-off requests with key performance data embedded.
Best for: Mid-sized companies scaling their management structure. A 300-employee logistics firm uses this to ensure regional directors review all warehouse lead promotions before they reach HR.
ApproveThis features used:
- Conditional routing based on performance scores
- Approval thresholds triggering automatic escalations
- Vacation delegation to prevent bottlenecks
2. Feedback-Driven Development Plans
How it works: Truvelop "sparks" (real-time feedback) trigger approval requests for training budgets or role changes. A sales rep receiving consistent coaching praise might auto-generate a leadership program enrollment request.
Best for: Fast-growth startups needing to retain top talent. A tech company auto-approves $2,500 learning stipends for employees with 4+ avg. spark ratings.
Key advantage: Approvers see aggregated feedback trends directly in the approval interface, no need to log into Truvelop.
Implementation Made Simple
Setting up the integration takes under 20 minutes with Zapier. Here's the streamlined process:
- Create Zapier connection between Truvelop and ApproveThis
- Map evaluation/spark data to ApproveThis template fields
- Set approval rules based on Truvelop's scoring system
- Test with sample data before full rollout
Pro tip: Use ApproveThis' calculated fields to auto-flag evaluations needing extra review. For example, if a Truvelop score is below 3.2 but the manager recommends promotion, route to HR leadership automatically.
Team-Specific Benefits
HR Departments
Cut approval-related admin work by 60-75% while maintaining strict compliance. Vacation delegation ensures off-site managers don't delay time-sensitive offers.
Finance Teams
Budget controls integrate directly into approval flows. A $10k training request might need CFO sign-off, while $2k gets auto-approved based on Truvelop performance tiers.
Department Heads
Receive mobile-friendly approval requests with all relevant Truvelop data included. No hunting through multiple systems to validate promotion readiness.
External Partners
Legal counsel or board members can review high-stakes approvals without Truvelop access. ApproveThis serves as a secure portal with full audit trails.
Beyond Basic Automation
What makes this integration truly powerful isn't just the time saved – it's the decision quality improvements. Combined platforms enable:
Predictive analytics: Flag evaluation trends that typically require executive review early in the process.
Bias reduction: Enforce consistent approval criteria across all managers/departments.
Strategic workforce planning: Auto-approve development opportunities for employees nearing promotion thresholds.
A healthcare network using both platforms reduced voluntary turnover by 22% in one year. Their secret? Auto-approved retention bonuses triggered by Truvelop's engagement scores.
Getting Started Guide
Follow these steps to launch your integrated solution:
- Define critical approval paths: Which evaluations/sparks need oversight? What's the escalation matrix?
- Build matching templates in ApproveThis: Include Truvelop data points that inform decisions
- Configure Zapier triggers: Start with one workflow (e.g., evaluations → promotions) before expanding
- Train approvers: 15-minute session on email/mobile approval actions
- Monitor & optimize: Use ApproveThis analytics to refine thresholds and routing
Remember: Approvers only need ApproveThis access – no additional Truvelop licenses required. This keeps costs predictable while extending oversight to key stakeholders.
The Future of Strategic HR
Organizations using Truvelop and ApproveThis together report 41% faster decision cycles on average. But the real impact is cultural – employees see clear paths for growth, managers gain confidence in structured processes, and executives receive verified workforce insights.
This integration turns performance data into actionable outcomes. A high-potential employee's consistent sparks don't just sit in a dashboard – they trigger approved leadership training. A manager's glowing evaluation doesn't get lost in email – it auto-generates a promotion case for review.
