When Scheduling Meets Approval Automation
Let's cut to the chase: if your team uses waaq Link for scheduling, you're already ahead of the game. But here's the thing—scheduling tools are great until you need human decisions. That's where 87% of teams hit a wall. Enter ApproveThis. We don't do calendars. We do fast, trackable approvals that plug directly into your existing workflows through Zapier. No coding. No extra licenses for approvers. Just fewer meetings about scheduling meetings.
Why This Combo Works for Mid-Sized Companies
waaq Link handles the "when." ApproveThis handles the "who says so." Together, they solve two critical problems for companies scaling past 50 employees:
- Visibility: Track every scheduling decision alongside the meeting itself
- Compliance: Automatic paper trails for audits without the spreadsheet hell
Take a 250-person healthcare provider we work with. Their patient intake team uses waaq Link for specialist appointments. But every reschedule? That used to require 3 separate email threads. Now, ApproveThis automatically routes these changes to the right clinic manager. Approval rate? 38% faster. Because nobody’s chasing down signatures.
Real Use Cases (Not Just Theory)
1. Canceled Meetings That Actually Get Reviewed
The Problem: Cancellations in waaq Link vanish into the void. Finance teams hate this. The Fix: Auto-create ApproveThis requests for every cancellation. Legal firms use this to track court date changes—partner approves, associate gets notified, client portal updates automatically.
2. Confirmed Meetings That Stay Confirmed
The Gotcha: Overeager sales reps booking demos without checking engineering capacity. The Solution: Every confirmed meeting in waaq Link triggers ApproveThis checks. One SaaS company reduced double-bookings by 62% by requiring CTO approval for all client technical deep dives.
3. Public Forms That Don't Become Time Bombs
The Risk: Public-facing forms in waaq Link mean anyone can request anything. The Control: Auto-route submissions to ApproveThis. A university uses this for event space requests—facilities manager approves, student group gets calendar access, security gets auto-notified. No more surprise pep rallies.
Features You'll Actually Use
ApproveThis isn't another layer of bureaucracy. These are your heavy hitters when paired with waaq Link:
Approval Thresholds: Rescheduling a 30-min checkup? Auto-approve. Rescheduling a $250K client workshop? That pings the VP automatically. Set it once, forget about micromanaging.
Vacation Delegation: Approver OOO? The request slides to their deputy without missing a beat. Critical for global teams covering multiple time zones.
Email Approvals: External partners approve directly from their inbox—no app logins, no license costs. Perfect for agencies managing client calendars.
Setup That Doesn't Require IT
If you can set up a Zoom meeting, you can do this:
- Connect waaq Link and ApproveThis via Zapier (takes 4 minutes)
- Pick your trigger (new meeting, cancellation, form submit)
- Map the key data points (date, requester, notes)
Pro tip: Start with one workflow—like rescheduled meetings needing manager approval. Expand after your team sees how it works.
Who Benefits (Besides Your Sanity)
Operations Teams
Stop being the middleman between waaq Link and department heads. Facility managers at a manufacturing plant use this combo to approve maintenance schedules—no more 6 AM texts about boiler inspections.
Customer-Facing Teams
Sales and support get instant visibility. A logistics company routes all client delivery time changes through ApproveThis. CS reps see approvals in waaq Link, clients get updated ETAs without back-and-forth.
HR & Admin
Interview scheduling just got ethical. Require diversity panel approvals before sending calendar invites. One tech firm reduced biased hiring by 27% with this guardrail.
The Bottom Line
waaq Link keeps your calendar organized. ApproveThis keeps your decisions organized. Together? They turn "Hey, did anyone approve this?" into a relic of 2023.
This isn't about adding steps—it's about cutting the crap. Every integration we've covered works because it respects how teams actually operate. No overengineering. No feature bloat. Just approvals that happen where the work already does.

FAQs (Because We Know You're Thinking It)
Q: Do approvers need waaq Link access?
A: Nope. They approve via email or ApproveThis. External vendors? Clients? They never touch your actual scheduling tool.
Q: What if we have custom fields in waaq Link?
A: Map them directly into ApproveThis requests. Budget codes, project IDs—whatever your approvers need to decide fast.
