When Form Meets Function
Let's be real - forms are where good ideas go to die. Someone submits a request. It gets lost in someone's inbox. Three follow-up emails later, you're wondering why your team still uses spreadsheets to track this stuff. Enter Blue Form Builder and ApproveThis: the tag team that actually makes form submissions useful.
Blue Form Builder does one thing extremely well: collecting clean data from clients, employees, or whoever's brave enough to fill out your forms. ApproveThis does the other critical part: getting humans to make decisions without the endless Slack pings. Together? You've got an automated approval engine that works while you sleep.
Why This Combo Doesn't Suck
Most "integrations" are just digital duct tape. This one actually solves three real problems:
1. No More Approval Black Holes
That client onboarding form? The procurement request? They automatically become tracked approval requests the second someone hits submit. No copying/pasting into emails. No "Did you see my form?" calls.
2. Approval Logic That Doesn't Require a PhD
Need CFO sign-off on purchases over $10k? Want HR to vet contractor agreements? Set it once in ApproveThis. Blue Form Builder submissions route exactly where they need to go - no manual triaging.
3. Client-Friendly Without the License Shakedown
Here's the kicker: your clients or vendors approve directly via email. They don't need logins for Blue Form Builder OR ApproveThis. No "Can you resend the portal link?" nonsense. Just click approve/reject and get back to work.
Real Teams Getting Real Results
This isn't hypothetical. Here's how different teams use the combo:
HR Teams: New Hire Paperwork That Doesn't Take 3 Weeks
Candidate accepts offer? Blue Form Builder collects their I-9, W-4, and benefit selections. ApproveThis routes completed docs to HRBP > Payroll > IT provisioning. New hires get equipment on day one because approvals actually happened.
Operations: Purchase Requests That Don't Require Mind Reading
Field team submits equipment request via form. ApproveThis auto-routes based on cost:
Under $500? Auto-approved.
$500-$5k? Department head.
Over $5k? CFO + Legal.
Procurement gets pre-approved POs without playing telephone.
Client Services: Contracts That Close 40% Faster
Embed Blue Form Builder in your proposal docs. When clients submit, ApproveThis triggers:
1. Internal legal review
2. Payment terms check
3. Final sign-off from client via email
No more "We'll get to it next quarter."
Setup That Won't Make You Rage-Quit
If you can make a Zapier account, you can do this:
Step 1: Connect the Dots
In Zapier, create a new Zap:
Trigger: Blue Form Builder "New Submission"
Action: ApproveThis "Create Request"
Step 2: Map the Important Stuff
Drag form fields into your approval template. Pro tip: Use ApproveThis' calculated fields to auto-flag high-priority requests. Example: If "Project Budget" > $50k, route to exec team.
Step 3: Set It and Forget It
Turn on the Zap. Test with a real form submission. Pop champagne when approvals start flowing automatically.
Need the technical play-by-play? Zapier's guide covers it. But honestly, it's easier than explaining TikTok to your CEO.
Features You'll Actually Use
ApproveThis isn't just another approval tool. These features make it stick:
Vacation Delegation (Because Adults Take PTO)
John in Legal is off-grid? Approvals automatically shift to Sarah without missing a beat. No "Waiting on John" hold-ups.
Thresholds That Prevent Micromanaging
Auto-approve small expenses. Escalate big ones. Set it once and let the system handle the politics.
Real-Time Tracking Without the Spreadsheet
Dashboard shows every request's status: who's sitting on it, SLAs expiring, the works. Perfect for those "Where are we on...?" exec questions.
Common Questions (Answered Honestly)
"What If Approvers Hate New Tools?"
They approve/reject via email. Zero training needed. If someone can delete a spam message, they can use this.
"How Much Time Does This Actually Save?"
Clients report 6-8 hours weekly less herding approvals. For a 50-person company? That's a $15k/year savings minimum.
"What About External Clients?"
They never touch ApproveThis. They get an email from you, click a button, done. No logins, no fees, no support tickets.
Bottom Line: Stop Approving Manually
Blue Form Builder + ApproveThis via Zapier isn't just about automation. It's about:
- Closing deals faster because contracts don't gather dust
- Empowering teams without creating approval bottlenecks
- Tracking everything without becoming a spreadsheet janitor
This isn't futuristic AI. It's practical automation for companies that are done with approval drama.
