ApproveThis manages your CloudBlue Commerce Integration approvals.

Why ApproveThis + CloudBlue Commerce Changes the Game

CloudBlue Commerce excels at managing complex subscription ecosystems, but even the most robust platforms have gaps. Manual approval processes create bottlenecks that slow down order fulfillment, delay customer onboarding, and introduce compliance risks. This is where ApproveThis transforms operations. By connecting CloudBlue Commerce to ApproveThis via Zapier, businesses automate decision-making without sacrificing control. Finance teams gain real-time visibility into subscription changes, operations teams eliminate email chains, and customer success teams accelerate onboarding while maintaining governance.

Three Ways This Integration Drives Business Outcomes

1. Subscription Governance at Scale

When a $2M/year enterprise customer requests a custom subscription tier in CloudBlue Commerce, your sales team shouldn’t manually chase down CFO approval. With this integration:

• CloudBlue triggers an ApproveThis workflow the moment a subscription is created or modified
• Approval rules auto-route requests based on deal size, customer tier, or product type
• Executives approve/deny directly from email – no logins required

Real impact: A SaaS company reduced subscription approval times from 72 hours to 45 minutes by setting monetary thresholds that automatically escalate high-value deals to senior leadership.

2. Customer Onboarding Without Compromise

Telecom providers using CloudBlue Commerce often struggle with fraudulent account creation. The integration solves this by:

• Creating approval requests when new customers sign up in CloudBlue
• Adding conditional checks using ApproveThis' calculated fields (e.g., credit score + order value)
• Requiring consensus from fraud, sales, and legal teams before activation

Example: A European ISP reduced chargebacks by 34% after implementing multi-team approval workflows for high-risk customer accounts.

3. Operational Continuity in Dynamic Markets

When a CloudBlue subscription goes on hold due to non-payment, ApproveThis ensures the right people review reinstatement requests – even during holidays. Key features in play:

Vacation delegation: Auto-reassign approvals if primary contacts are unavailable
Real-time dashboards: Track all pending/completed requests tied to CloudBlue subscriptions
Audit trails: Maintain immutable records of who approved what – critical for SOC 2 compliance

Technical Setup Made Simple

Connecting CloudBlue Commerce and ApproveThis takes under 15 minutes:

1. Create a Zapier account (if you don’t have one)
2. Choose your trigger event from CloudBlue (new subscription, customer, etc.)
3. Map critical data points to ApproveThis fields (deal size, customer ID, etc.)
4. Set approval rules and thresholds in ApproveThis
5. Test with a non-production CloudBlue account

Pro tip: Use ApproveThis' calculated fields to auto-flag subscriptions requiring legal review based on contract terms or regional regulations.

Team-Specific Benefits

Finance Teams

Auto-approve routine subscription renewals under $10K while flagging exceptions. ApproveThis' threshold rules prevent revenue leakage from unauthorized discounts.

Operations Teams

Replace manual spreadsheets with real-time dashboards showing all pending CloudBlue subscription changes. Escalate bottlenecks before service delivery impacts occur.

Customer Success

Accelerate enterprise onboarding by parallel-tracking approvals while provisioning services in CloudBlue. Clients see faster time-to-value without compromising internal checks.

Why This Beats Native CloudBlue Approvals

While CloudBlue offers basic approval features, ApproveThis adds enterprise-grade capabilities:

No license sprawl: External partners approve requests via email without needing CloudBlue access
Dynamic logic: Change approval rules based on real-time subscription data
Cross-platform visibility: Track CloudBlue approvals alongside other systems in one dashboard
