ApproveThis manages your Trove approvals.

Why Approval Automation Matters

Businesses using Trove’s AI-powered surveys already know the value of gathering critical data quickly. But what happens after responses come in? Manual follow-ups, email chains, and missed deadlines often slow down decision-making. This is where ApproveThis adds precision to your process. By connecting Trove to ApproveThis via Zapier, companies turn survey insights into actionable approvals without bottlenecks.

What Makes This Integration Powerful

Trove excels at capturing structured data through engaging surveys, while ApproveThis specializes in enforcing accountability through customizable approval workflows. Together, they create closed-loop automation:

• Eliminate manual data entry between systems
• Enforce compliance with audit-ready records
• Accelerate response-to-decision cycles by 60-80%

Approvers don’t need Trove licenses to review requests – ideal for external partners or cross-department collaboration. Finance teams control budgets without accessing survey tools. Executives approve initiatives directly from email.

Real-World Use Cases

Marketing Campaign Approvals

A retail company uses Trove to collect vendor proposals for holiday promotions. Each submission triggers an ApproveThis workflow routing requests to the marketing director, CFO, and legal team. Approval thresholds auto-approve budgets under $5K, while larger spends require executive review. Calculated fields compare proposed discounts against margin targets.

Employee Onboarding

HR teams embed Trove forms in offer letters to collect new hire preferences. Responses automatically create IT equipment approval requests with department-specific rules: Engineering laptops require CTO sign-off, while sales roles get standard setups. Vacation delegation ensures approvals continue even when managers travel.

Field Service Operations

A HVAC contractor uses Trove surveys for technicians to request parts replacements. ApproveThis routes urgent requests to on-call managers after hours, using conditional logic to prioritize emergency jobs. Real-time tracking prevents delays during peak seasons.

Key Features That Drive Results

ApproveThis enhances Trove workflows with features most teams don’t realize they need:

• Email-Based Approvals: Stakeholders vote directly from inboxes – no app logins required
• Threshold Escalations: Auto-approve small expenses, flag overspend for scrutiny
• Multi-Stage Routing: Legal reviews contracts only after budget sign-off

Setting Up the Integration

Connect Trove and ApproveThis in 15 minutes using Zapier:

1. Create a Zap with Trove’s "New Response" trigger
2. Map critical survey fields to ApproveThis request templates
3. Configure approval rules based on response data (e.g., budget tiers)
4. Test with live submissions

Pro Tip: Use ApproveThis’ calculated fields to auto-populate ROI projections or compliance checklists based on Trove inputs.

Team-Specific Benefits

Finance Teams

Automate PO approvals tied to survey-collected vendor quotes. Require dual signatures for high-risk suppliers identified through Trove screening questions.

Operations Managers

Convert facility maintenance requests from Trove into prioritized work orders. Use approval groups to assign regional supervisors based on survey location data.

Sales Leaders

Route discount approval requests from Trove-powered deal desks. Track approval SLAs to identify coaching opportunities for slow-responding approvers.

Why Competitors Can’t Match This

Basic form builders lack ApproveThis’ granular controls. Generic approval tools force teams to manually recreate data from Trove responses. This integration’s unique advantage lies in contextual automation – approval rules adapt based on survey content, not just static checklists.

Final Considerations

This integration works best for companies processing 50+ monthly approvals tied to form submissions. Smaller teams still benefit from reduced email clutter. Implementation requires Trove admin access and ApproveThis workflow design privileges – typically handled by ops or IT leads in under two hours.
