ApproveThis manages your Tulu Integration approvals.

Two Platforms, One Powerful Partnership

When task management meets approval automation, teams move faster with fewer errors. Tulu's workforce coordination tools for cleaning professionals gain new strategic value when connected to ApproveThis' structured approval system through Zapier. This integration creates closed-loop processes where field updates automatically trigger executive decisions – without manual handoffs or spreadsheet tracking.

Why This Integration Works

Tulu provides real-time visibility into cleaning operations, while ApproveThis adds governance to critical decisions. Together, they enable:

• Automatic approval routing when cleaners report completed tasks or unexpected issues
• Budget-controlled responses to supply requests or equipment repairs

Approvers receive requests directly in email without needing Tulu logins, making it ideal for property managers or clients who need oversight but shouldn't have full system access.

Real-World Impact Across Industries

Commercial Cleaning Companies

When a Tulu task update shows a client-requested deep cleaning service, ApproveThis can:

- Automatically calculate labor/material costs using Calculated Fields
- Route upcharge approvals to account managers via email
- Auto-approve changes under $250 using Approval Thresholds

This reduces billing disputes by getting client sign-off before work begins.

Facilities Management Teams

Maintenance crews using Tulu can trigger parts replacement approvals when reporting equipment issues. ApproveThis:

- Routes requests to the correct vendor contact based on equipment type
- Escalates urgent requests after 2 hours via Sequential Approval Groups
- Syncs approved POs back to Tulu task notes automatically

This cuts equipment downtime by 38% according to early adopters.

Technical Setup Made Simple

Connecting Tulu and ApproveThis takes 15 minutes through Zapier:

1. Create a new Zap with Tulu's "Task Updated" trigger
2. Filter for specific task types requiring approvals
3. Map key task details to ApproveThis' "Create Request" action

Pro Tip: Use ApproveThis' Conditional Logic to route:
- Equipment repairs to maintenance managers
- Supply requests to procurement teams
based on data in Tulu task descriptions.

Department-Specific Benefits

Operations Teams

Field supervisors gain real-time approval tracking without chasing emails. Vacation Delegation ensures alternate approvers handle requests during PTO, preventing workflow bottlenecks.

Finance Teams

Approval Thresholds auto-approve routine expenses while flagging outliers. All decisions sync to accounting systems through Zapier for audit-ready records.

Client Services

External clients receive branded approval emails with one-click decisions. No ApproveThis licenses needed – perfect for per-project collaborators.

Beyond Basic Approvals

While many teams start with simple task→approval automations, advanced users leverage:

Dynamic Cost Calculations:
Add labor hours and material costs directly in approval requests using Calculated Fields when Tulu tasks exceed estimated timelines.

Compliance Safeguards:
Require dual approvals for high-risk activities like chemical disposal by configuring Consensus Approval Groups.
