Why This Integration Isn’t Just Another “Nice to Have”

Let’s cut the busywork: If you’re using BaseLinker to manage orders across 1,000+ channels, you’re already dealing with more moving parts than a Swiss watch. Now add approval processes that involve finance teams, warehouse managers, or external vendors. Suddenly, your “efficient” operation feels like herding cats through a spreadsheet maze.

That’s where ApproveThis comes in. We’re not here to replace BaseLinker – we’re here to make sure the right people actually approve things in BaseLinker without playing email tag for days. Think of it like adding traffic lights to your order management freeway. Less crashing, more moving.

What Happens When You Connect the Dots

BaseLinker handles the heavy lifting of order processing. ApproveThis handles the human decisions required to keep it moving. Together via Zapier, they:

  • Turn new invoices/orders into approval requests automatically
  • Push approved decisions back into BaseLinker without manual entry

Key thing here: Approvers don’t need BaseLinker licenses. Your accounting firm reviewing invoices? They approve via email. Your retail client signing off on a custom order? Same deal. Saves seats, saves headaches.

Real-World Use Cases That Actually Matter

1. Invoice Approvals That Don’t Stall Shipments

The Problem: New invoice hits BaseLinker → accounting misses the email → warehouse can’t release goods → customer gets pissed.

The Fix: Zapier triggers an ApproveThis request the moment the invoice is created. Routes to CFO (if over $5k) or AP manager (under $5k) via approval thresholds. Approved? BaseLinker auto-updates. Denied? Finance gets an alert to fix it.

Who needs this: Wholesalers dealing with 50+ daily invoices. Stops “Who approved this?!” chaos.

2. Order Changes That Don’t Cause Fulfillment Errors

The Problem: Sales team modifies a client order in BaseLinker → warehouse ships wrong items → $500 mistake becomes a $5k account credit.

The Fix: Any order status change triggers an approval request. Warehouse manager gets a simple email: “Client X changed Product Y from blue to red. Approve?” One click, audit trail secured.

Who needs this: Custom manufacturers or retailers with complex SKUs. Eliminates “I thought someone else checked it” excuses.

3. New Orders That Actually Follow Contracts

The Problem: Big client orders come in → sales forgets credit limits → accounting has to clean up the mess.

The Fix: New BaseLinker order? Auto-check against the client’s contract terms using ApproveThis’ calculated fields. Over their limit? Route to sales director + legal. Under limit? Auto-approve and fulfill.

Who needs this: B2B companies with tiered pricing or volume deals. Keeps sales teams from overpromising.

Features You’ll Actually Use (No Bloat Here)

We know you’re not here for buzzword bingo. Here’s what matters when using ApproveThis with BaseLinker:

Approval Thresholds

Example: Auto-approve returns under $200 (saves time) but escalate $2k+ claims to a regional manager (prevents fraud).

Vacation Delegation

Your procurement manager is OOO? Approvals automatically reroute to their deputy. No more “Waiting on Jane” statuses.

Real-Time Tracking

See every pending BaseLinker-related approval in one dashboard. Bonus: Add internal notes like “Client needs this by Friday – prioritize” to keep teams aligned.

How to Set This Up Without Calling IT

If you can set up a Zoom meeting, you can connect BaseLinker to ApproveThis:

  1. Create a Zapier account (takes 2 minutes)
  2. Choose your BaseLinker trigger: New invoice, order status change, etc.
  3. Select ApproveThis as the action: Map BaseLinker fields to your approval template
  4. Test with a $1 invoice: Confirm approvals flow both ways

Pro tip: Start with one workflow (like invoice approvals) before scaling to others. Less overwhelming.

Who Benefits? (Spoiler: Everyone Except Slack)

Finance Teams

Get BaseLinker invoices pre-sorted by amount/type. Approve via email during your 10 AM coffee. No logging into yet another system.

Operations Managers

Stop being the human router between BaseLinker and approvers. Now you’re the person who fixed the routing.

Sales Leaders

Custom orders get approved faster → clients get charged faster → commissions hit bank accounts faster. Everyone wins.

Why This Isn’t Just Another Integration

Most app integrations just move data. This one moves decisions. BaseLinker tells you what’s happening. ApproveThis ensures the right people respond. Together, they turn approval delays into a checklist item instead of a crisis.

Example: A Midwestern auto parts supplier used this combo to cut invoice approval times from 3 days to 4 hours. How? Finance no longer had to hunt down BaseLinker entries – they arrived as approve/reject emails with all key details.

Ready to Stop Being a Human Ping-Pong Ball?

If you’re managing 100+ orders/invoices weekly in BaseLinker, this integration pays for itself in saved labor hours alone. But don’t take our word for it – we’ll show you.

Next steps:

1. Register for ApproveThis (free 14-day trial)
2. Connect to BaseLinker via Zapier (takes 15 minutes)
3. Or, book a demo to see it live

Either way, you’ll finally know who approved what, when, and why – without the endless follow-ups.
