ApproveThis manages your Survser Integration approvals.

When Surveys Meet Structured Approvals

Modern businesses face a critical challenge: capturing real-time customer insights while maintaining control over how that data gets used. Survser excels at gathering microsurvey responses directly within digital products, while ApproveThis brings order to decision-making with structured approval workflows. Together through Zapier, they create a closed-loop system where customer feedback directly triggers actionable processes - with accountability built into every step.

Why This Integration Changes the Game

Most companies treat survey data and internal approvals as separate workflows. Teams waste days manually triaging feedback, chasing down stakeholders, and reconciling spreadsheets. The Survser-ApproveThis integration through Zapier breaks down these silos by:

• Converting raw survey responses into trackable approval items in under 60 seconds
• Applying governance to customer feedback without slowing down response times
• Providing audit trails showing exactly how insights influenced business decisions

The Hidden Cost of Unmanaged Feedback

Consider a SaaS company receiving 500+ survey responses monthly through Survser. Without automated approvals:

- Critical feature requests get buried in Slack channels
- Duplicate feedback creates conflicting priorities
- Legal never reviews high-risk compliance suggestions

The integration prevents these leaks by making every impactful response follow a predefined approval path.

Real-World Use Cases Across Teams

Product Teams: From Feedback to Roadmap

When Survser detects repeated requests for a new integration:

1. Zapier automatically creates an ApproveThis request with response data
2. PMs assess technical feasibility using calculated fields
3. Legal approves compliance requirements via email
4. Approved items sync to Jira through additional Zaps

Result: 68% faster prioritization cycles (based on industry averages)

Customer Support: Escalation with Context

Negative satisfaction surveys trigger:
- Immediate approval requests for account managers
- Automatic severity scoring using ApproveThis thresholds
- CRM updates upon executive sign-off for retention offers

Benefit: Reduce churn risk by resolving escalations 2.3x faster

Marketing: Campaign Feedback Loops

Post-launch NPS surveys via Survser can:
- Route low scores for quick creative approvals
- Auto-approve common UX complaints to A/B testing tools
- Require CMO review for branding change suggestions

Impact: One retail client reduced rebranding decision time from 14 days to 72 hours

Operations: Compliance Made Proactive

Employee safety surveys automatically:
- Escalate OSHA-related feedback to facility managers
- Require HR + legal approval for policy changes
- Update incident reports upon final sign-off

Outcome: 92% faster resolution of workplace concerns

Key Integration Features

While the Zapier connection handles data flow, ApproveThis adds crucial controls:

Threshold Autonomy: Auto-approve common suggestions under $5K impact while routing major changes to execs
Delegation Guards: Keep approvals moving during vacations without exposing sensitive survey data
Approval Layers: Require legal review only for feedback touching regulated areas
Mobile-First: Approvers can handle requests via email without Survser access

Implementation Guide

Step 1: Create a Zapier account (free tier works)
Step 2: Connect Survser using your API keys
Step 3: Authenticate ApproveThis (OAuth2 supported)
Step 4: Set trigger as "New Survey Response" in Survser
Step 5: Map critical response fields to ApproveThis templates
Step 6: Test with low-risk surveys before full rollout

Pro Tip: Field Mapping

Use ApproveThis' calculated fields to auto-score survey urgency based on:
- Sentiment analysis from open-text responses
- Customer tier (enterprise vs trial)
- Survey type (in-app vs post-support)

Why Teams Choose This Combo

Product Managers: Stop guessing which features to build - approved feedback directly influences sprints
Support Leaders: Demonstrate ROI on CX improvements with approval-based metrics
Compliance Officers: Maintain oversight without becoming a workflow bottleneck
Executives: See real-time dashboards of customer-driven initiatives

Limitations & Workarounds

Complex Scoring: Survser doesn't natively support weighted surveys. Fix: Use ApproveThis calculated fields to apply multipliers.
Data Sensitivity: PII in open-text responses. Fix: Set ApproveThis masking rules for emails/names.
Approval Spam: High-volume surveys causing overload. Fix: Use Survser's branching logic to pre-qualify responses.

Getting Started

For teams using Survser, adding ApproveThis typically takes 2-3 hours including:
- Approval policy design workshop
- Zapier automation setup
- Team training (30-minute session)

Most see ROI within 14 days through reduced manual follow-ups alone.
