ApproveThis manages your Wimi Integration approvals.

Integration Category: Project Management
Let’s be real – chasing down approvals is about as fun as untangling headphone wires. Between tasks getting buried in Wimi channels and budget requests stuck in email limbo, most companies are one missed approval away from chaos. That’s why pairing ApproveThis with Wimi isn’t just nice-to-have; it’s how grown-up companies actually get work done.
Why This Combo Works Like Coffee Meets Monday Morning
Wimi keeps your projects moving. ApproveThis keeps decisions from getting stuck. Together, they’re like a productivity SWAT team. Here’s the deal:
Wimi’s job: Task lists, file sharing, team chats – all the stuff that makes projects happen.
ApproveThis’s job: Turning “Hey, can someone sign off on this?” into a process that doesn’t suck.
Connect them through Zapier, and you’ve just automated the most annoying parts of project management. No more:
- Digging through Wimi comments to find who approved what
- Emergency Slack messages because the CFO’s on vacation
- Budget requests that mysteriously “get lost” after approval
Real Companies Doing Real Things (Without the BS)
1. Marketing Teams: Killing Campaign Bottlenecks
Imagine your content team creates a new campaign brief in Wimi. With our integration:
- ApproveThis automatically pings the CMO via email (they’ll actually open it)
- If denied, comments sync back to Wimi tasks automatically
- Approved? Budget gets allocated without accounting department tag
Why it matters: Marketing agencies use this to cut campaign launch times by 40%. No exaggeration – it’s just eliminating the approval black hole.
2. Operations: Purchase Orders That Don’t Require Mind Reading
Here’s how a manufacturing company fixed their supply chain:
- Wimi task created for raw material purchase
- ApproveThis routes to plant manager > CFO based on amount
- Auto-approved small orders keep production lines moving
- All docs stored in Wimi with approval timestamps
Secret sauce: Approval thresholds mean the $500 emergency tool order doesn’t wait for VP review. Common sense, automated.
3. HR Teams: Onboarding That Actually Onboards
A tech company we work with:
- Creates Wimi tasks for new hire equipment
- ApproveThis routes laptop requests to IT, swag to facilities
- Managers approve remote work setups via email (no login required)
- Everything tracks in Wimi docs for compliance
Key win: New hires get their gear Day 1 instead of Week 3. Basic? Yes. Rare? Unfortunately.
Setting This Up Without Hiring a IT Guy
If you can make toast, you can set this up:
- Connect the pipes: Zapier links ApproveThis + Wimi in 5 minutes
- Pick your triggers: New Wimi task? Status change? Approval completed?
- Map the important stuff: Task names → Approval types, Budgets → Thresholds
- Test drive: Approve a test request via email (feel that dopamine hit?)
Pro tip: Start with one workflow – like content approvals – before going enterprise-wide.
Why Your Team Leads Will Actually Use This
For Project Managers:
See approval statuses inside Wimi tasks. No more “I thought you signed off on this!” in status meetings.
For Finance:
Auto-approve routine expenses under $1k, but get alerts for big spends. Sleep better knowing no one’s buying a Tesla on the company card.
For Execs:
Approve stuff from your phone between meetings. No learning new software – it’s just email.
The Nerd Stuff That Makes This Work
ApproveThis brings some heavy artillery to your Wimi setup:
- Approval Groups: Need 3 engineers to sign off on a spec? Make it sequential or simultaneous.
- Vacation Coverage: CFO out? Requests auto-route to their second-in-command.
- Calculated Fields: Automatically flag requests that exceed department budgets.
And remember – external partners can approve via email without needing a Wimi login. Client approvals just got 100% less awkward.
When Not to Use This (Yes, Really)
This isn’t magic fairy dust. If your approval process is broken because of office politics, fix that first. But if you’re drowning in routine approvals, this integration acts like a bilge pump.
Your Move
Companies between 200-5000 employees use this combo to:
- Cut approval times from days → hours
- Reduce “follow-up” meetings by 60%+
- Actually find records during audits

Either way – your future self (the one not drowning in approval emails) says thanks.
