ApproveThis manages your OneSignal Integration approvals.

Why Combining ApproveThis and OneSignal is Like Coffee and Productivity

Let's cut to the chase: approvals suck when they're slow, and notifications are useless if they don't get seen. That's where ApproveThis and OneSignal come in. One handles the bureaucratic red tape, the other blasts updates to phones and browsers. Together? They turn "waiting for sign-off" into "done, and everyone knows it."

For companies between 50-5,000 employees, this combo solves two big problems: 1) Getting decisions made faster across departments/clients 2) Making sure the right people actually see those decisions

And here's the kicker: approvers don't need a OneSignal license. Just send them an email (or carrier pigeon, we don't judge) and they can approve/reject. Saves money, saves sanity.

3 Real-World Ways This Combo Makes Teams Less Annoying

1. When Finance Approves a Budget, Everyone Stops DM'ing You

Picture this: Your marketing team submits a campaign budget in ApproveThis. The CFO approves it via email during her 4pm latte. OneSignal instantly pings every project manager's phone with "Q4 BUDGET GREENLIT - GO SPEND MONEY."

Who cares: Retail chains approving flash sale budgets, agencies getting client sign-offs on ad spends.

Secret sauce: Approval thresholds in ApproveThis auto-approve small spends, but escalate anything over $10k. OneSignal segments notifications so only regional managers get relevant updates.

2. HR Stops Playing Phone Tag with Legal

New employee handbook update? OneSignal creates a notification draft. ApproveThis automatically routes it to Legal for compliance review. Once approved, the push notification hits every employee's lock screen before Legal finishes their kombucha.

Who cares: Healthcare orgs updating protocols, tech companies pushing policy changes.

Secret sauce: Vacation delegation in ApproveThis means if Legal's out, their backup gets nudge. OneSignal's analytics show who actually opened the notification (spoiler: 78% did).

3. Procurement Gets a Life Outside Email Chains

Supplier submits a quote request. ApproveThis routes it to three department heads. OneSignal pings their phones with "New request: Approve by 5PM or John from Accounting cries." Once two approve, the PO auto-generates and the supplier gets a "We're moving forward" push notification.

Who cares: Manufacturing firms managing vendors, universities ordering lab equipment.

Secret sauce: Calculated fields in ApproveThis auto-flag orders exceeding budget. OneSignal's localization sends notifications in the approver's language.

How to Set This Up Without Calling IT (Seriously, It's Easy)

We're using Zapier here. No coders required. If you can make toast, you can do this:

1. Connect the apps: Log into Zapier. Add ApproveThis and OneSignal.
2. Pick your trigger: Like "When ApproveThis request is approved"
3. Add action: "Send OneSignal push notification with {{Approval_Details}}"
4. Test it: Approve something cheap. If your phone dings, you're golden.

Pro tip: Use ApproveThis' conditional logic to only send notifications for high-priority approvals. No one needs 37 pings about toner cartridge approvals.

Why This Isn't Just Another "Integration"

Most app combos just shuffle data. This one actually changes how teams operate:

• Sales teams: Get deal approvals faster, notify ops to prep onboarding
• Healthcare admin: HIPAA-compliant approvals with audit trails
• Manufacturing: Safety protocol updates approved & pushed in real-time

And because ApproveThis tracks every decision, you've got proof that Karen in Legal saw the request, ignored it for 3 days, then went on vacation. Not that we're pointing fingers.

Features You'll Actually Use (No Fluff)

We know you're busy. Here's what matters:

Approval thresholds: Auto-approve small stuff, escalate big decisions. Combine with OneSignal's segmentation to alert execs only when needed.

Real-time tracking: See who's sitting on requests. Add automated nudges via OneSignal after 24hrs of silence.

Email approvals: Because making people log into another app is how IT requests get created.

When You Shouldn't Use This Combo

We're honest here. This isn't magic fairy dust:

- If your approval process changes daily, maybe fix that first
- If your team still communicates via sticky notes
- If you enjoy 47 follow-up meetings per project

Ready to Stop Herding Approval Cats?

Look - you've got two options:

1. Keep chasing people through Slack/email/desperate hallway ambushes
2. Let ApproveThis + OneSignal automate the nagging so you can focus on actual work

If option 2 sounds slightly less terrible, get started free or schedule a 15-minute demo. We'll even show you how to filter out Karen's vacation days.
