ApproveThis manages your Spinach AI Integration approvals.

When Meetings Actually Get Sh*t Done

Let's be real - most meetings end with a vague "we'll figure it out later." Spinach AI catches those action items before they evaporate. ApproveThis makes sure someone actually signs off on them. Together? They turn talk into action before your team leaves the (physical or virtual) room.

Why This Combo Slaps for Mid-Sized Companies

Companies scaling from 50 to 5k employees hit the same wall: decisions get stuck between departments. Legal needs to review contracts from Sales. Finance has to approve marketing budgets. Operations can't deploy new tools without IT's thumbs-up. This integration cuts through that red tape without adding more software logins.

The Killer Feature Everyone Overlooks

Your approvers don't need Spinach AI accounts. Think about that. External clients approving contracts? Vendors signing off on project specs? You're not nickel-and-diming them for software seats they'll use twice a year. They get an email, click approve/reject, and everyone moves on.

Real-World Uses That Don't Suck

Use Case 1: Killing the "Who Approves What?" Game

Spinach AI documents that the Q2 marketing budget needs CFO approval. ApproveThis automatically:

• Routes it to Jane in Finance
• Escalates to her boss if she's OOO
• Updates your accounting software via Zapier once approved

Meanwhile, the marketing team isn't Slack-bombing finance about status updates.

Use Case 2: Client Projects That Don't Miss Deadlines

Agency teams using Spinach AI in client meetings get instant action items. When the client says "revise the homepage copy," ApproveThis:

• Creates an approval task for the copywriter
• Requires client sign-off via email (no login needed)
• Auto-schedules the next review in your project tool

No more "wait, was that the final version?" emails at 11 PM.

Setup That Takes Less Time Than Your Daily Standup

1. Connect via Zapier: Zapier handles the heavy lifting. No coding, just checkboxes.
2. Map Spinach AI outputs to ApproveThis fields: Meeting notes → approval description, action items → task list.
3. Set approval rules: "All budget requests >$5k need CFO review." Done.

Department-Specific Wins

Operations Teams: Stop Being the Middleman

New vendor contracts from procurement meetings get auto-routed. Legal reviews terms, approvethis.com handles signatures, and your procurement software updates without manual entry. You stop playing telephone between departments.

Finance: Budgets That Don't Require Mind Reading

When Spinach AI captures a department head requesting $20k for new software, ApproveThis checks:

- Is this under their pre-approved limit?
- Does it require board notification?
- Has the vendor passed security review?

All before the first approval email goes out.

HR: Onboarding That Doesn't Haunt You

New hire equipment requests from orientation meetings trigger approval chains. IT confirms laptop specs, Facilities arranges desk setup, Payroll gets notified about start dates. All while HR tracks it in one dashboard instead of 12 spreadsheets.

Features You'll Actually Use (No Bloatware Here)

Approval Thresholds: Auto-approve $500 office supply orders but flag anything over $5k. Vacation Delegation: CFO on vacation? Requests automatically go to their deputy. Calculated Fields: "Total project cost = development hours × rate" shown directly in approval requests.

Why This Isn't Just Another Integration

Most tools slap together half-baked integrations. This works because:

Spinach AI understands what needs approval (it’s trained on actual meeting context).
ApproveThis handles complex approval logic most teams build in janky spreadsheets.

Objections We Anticipate (And Shut Down)

"We already use [insert legacy tool here]." Cool. If it takes 3+ steps to approve anything, you're losing money. This cuts approval time from days to hours.
"Our team hates new tools." Approvers interact via email. Only admins touch the dashboard. Ramp-up time: 15 minutes.

How to Not Screw This Up

- Do: Start with one high-volume approval type (e.g., travel requests).
- Don't: Try to automate every process day one. Get a win first.
- Do: Use calculated fields for dollar amounts or dates.
- Don't: Let HR approve IT purchases without guardrails.

Bottom Line: Meetings Should Lead to Action

If your action items die in follow-up emails, you're paying people to argue about next steps. This integration makes meetings the start of execution, not the end of discussion.
