Let’s cut to the chase: approvals suck. They’re the traffic jam in your workflow highway, the "waiting for Godot" moment of modern business. But here’s the thing – they don’t have to. When you connect ApproveThis and Drimify through Zapier, you’re not just automating a process. You’re turning gamified engagement data into actionable decisions faster than a teenager swiping left.
Why This Combo Works Like a Double Shot of Espresso
Drimify makes gamification easy – think quizzes, contests, training modules that people actually want to use. Every interaction (a "play") generates data. Valuable data. The kind that usually ends up trapped in spreadsheets or lost in Slack threads. ApproveThis? It’s the bouncer at the door of your decision-making process. Together, they turn real-time engagement metrics into approved actions without manual handoffs.
The Nuts and Bolts
Every time someone completes a Drimify activity (like finishing a training game or entering a contest), Zapier automatically creates an approval request in ApproveThis. Your team gets notified instantly via email or dashboard – no logging into another system. Approvers can greenlight requests or kick them back with comments right from their inbox. Approved? The data flows wherever it needs to go. Denied? It goes back for revisions faster than you can say "process improvement".
Real-World Use Cases That Don’t Sound Like MBA Buzzword Bingo
Marketing Teams: Stop Guessing, Start Approving
Imagine running a customer contest on Drimify. Every entry triggers an approval request to validate eligibility or process prizes. Marketing leads approve high-value winners directly from their phones while commuting. Bonus: Use ApproveThis’ calculated fields to auto-flag entries that hit specific engagement thresholds. No more manual checks, no more "did we approve that yet?" emails.
HR Departments: Turn Training Games Into Compliance Gold
Employee completes a Drimify safety training module? The completion data auto-generates an approval request in ApproveThis. HR gets a clear audit trail showing who approved certifications – with conditional routing to ensure legal signs off on high-risk roles. Use approval thresholds to auto-approve routine completions while escalating complex cases. Suddenly, compliance isn’t a four-syllable curse word.
Operations Squads: Fix Vendor Approvals Without the Papercuts
Supplier submits a Drimify-powered quote game? Zapier creates an ApproveThis request that routes through procurement, legal, and finance – in order. Finance directors get real-time tracking to see where requests stall. Use vacation delegation so approvals don’t die when someone’s on PTO. And since approvers don’t need Drimify logins? Your external vendors stay in the loop without you buying extra software seats.
Setting This Up Without Losing Your Mind
Here’s the beauty part: If you can make toast, you can set this up.
- Connect Drimify and ApproveThis in Zapier (takes 2 minutes)
- Set the trigger: "New play recorded" in Drimify
- Choose the action: "Create approval request" in ApproveThis
- Map data fields (e.g., player email → requester, score → custom approval criteria)
Done. Now every game completion, contest entry, or training module finish line automatically kicks off your approval workflow. No coding, no consultants, no existential dread.
Features You’ll Actually Use (No Shelfware Here)
We’re not here to sell you features that look good in demos and die in real life. Here’s what matters when using ApproveThis with Drimify:
- Email approvals: External partners approve requests without logging in – just click Approve/Reject
- Approval groups: Route high-stakes game outcomes to legal & compliance teams first, then marketing
- Dynamic thresholds: Auto-approve contest entries under $100 value, escalate bigger prizes
The Killer Detail Nobody Talks About
Approvers only need ApproveThis access – not Drimify licenses. When you’re dealing with external clients or cross-departmental teams, this is the difference between smooth sailing and a permissions nightmare. Your finance team approves vendor game payouts without needing to understand gamification dashboards. Clean. Simple. Done.
Why This Isn’t Just Another “Integration”
Most software integrations are like those forced group projects in school – technically together, but nobody’s really collaborating. This combo works because:
Drimify tells you what’s happening in your games/contests/training. ApproveThis tells you what needs to happen next. Together, they close the loop between engagement and action. Marketing knows exactly which contest leads to approve. HR can prove they certified compliance. Operations stops losing vendor requests in email purgatory.
Teams That Win With This Setup
Mid-Sized Marketing Agencies
Running 50+ client contests monthly? Auto-approve routine entries while flagging high-value winners for client review. Use calculated fields to instantly show ROI per approved contestant.
Healthcare Training Providers
When nurses complete gamified certifications, ApproveThis routes approvals to department heads and compliance officers sequentially. Audit trails automatically update in both systems. No more "I thought you checked their credentials!"
E-commerce Brands
Customer completes a Drimify product quiz? Approve discount codes or loyalty rewards instantly based on score thresholds. Denied approvals get auto-replies with upsell offers. Suddenly your gamification drives revenue, not just engagement.
Bottom Line: This Isn’t About Software
It’s about fixing the approval black holes that drain your team’s time. Every minute saved manually routing Drimify data is a minute your team could spend:
- Designing better games/contests
- Analyzing engagement trends
- Actually engaging with customers
The Zapier integration between Drimify and ApproveThis isn’t magic – it’s just workflow design that doesn’t treat humans like error-prone robots. Set it up once, and your approval process becomes the silent engine driving decisions instead of blocking them.
