ApproveThis manages your ClickHelp Integration approvals.

Integration Category: Team Collaboration
Let’s cut to the chase – if your team’s approval processes feel like herding cats through a maze of Google Docs and Slack threads, you’re not alone. Most companies between 50-5,000 employees treat document approvals like a necessary evil. But what if we told you there’s a way to turn your documentation chaos into a well-oiled machine? Enter the ApproveThis and ClickHelp integration via Zapier. It’s not just another tech stack addition – it’s the missing link between creating content and actually getting shit signed off.
Why This Combo Doesn’t Suck
ClickHelp’s great at wrangling documentation, translations, and user feedback. ApproveThis specializes in making approval processes less painful than a root canal. Together? They’re like peanut butter and jelly for teams drowning in PDFs and endless “Can you approve this?” emails.
Here’s the kicker: ApproveThis approvers don’t need ClickHelp licenses. That means you can loop in external clients, contractors, or that C-suite exec who still prints emails without burning extra seats. Real-world example: A SaaS company reduced their contract approval time from 2 weeks to 3 days by auto-routing ClickHelp legal docs through ApproveThis to external counsel.
Three Ways This Integration Actually Works (No Fluff)
1. Turning Angry Customers Into Action Items
When negative feedback hits ClickHelp, ApproveThis auto-creates an approval request with context. Support leads get an email they can approve/reject in two clicks – no app switching. Features like approval thresholds mean urgent issues automatically escalate if no response within X hours.
2. Translation Updates That Don’t Get Lost in the Shuffle
Every time your localization team updates docs in ClickHelp, ApproveThis kicks off a streamlined review process. Use calculated fields to auto-flag changes exceeding 15% content modification. Bonus: Vacation delegation ensures your German translator’s PTO doesn’t bottleneck the entire process.
3. Approval Paper Trails That Actually Make Sense
New ApproveThis request? ClickHelp automatically creates a dedicated discussion topic. All comments, files, and decisions stay organized – no more digging through 12 different channels to find why marketing approved that questionable tagline.
Setup That Won’t Make You Want to Quit Tech
1. Connect both apps in Zapier (takes 2 minutes)
2. Pick your trigger (e.g., “Negative Feedback Received” in ClickHelp)
3. Map key data points to ApproveThis fields
4. Set approval rules (thresholds, groups, etc.)
5. Test with a real document – because nobody trusts theoretical workflows
Who Actually Benefits From This?
Customer Support Teams
Stop letting urgent feedback rot in inboxes. Auto-create approval chains that:
- Route bug reports to engineering
- Escalate refund requests based on amount
- Track response SLAs in real-time
Documentation Teams
Version control meets accountability:
- Auto-flag major content changes needing legal review
- Parallel approval paths for technical vs. marketing content
- Audit-ready history of who approved what
Localization Departments
Cut translation review cycles by 40% with:
- Region-specific approver groups
- Auto-translation quality scoring
- Deadline-based escalations
Why This Isn’t Just Another Integration
Most app combos just shuffle data. This one actually changes how teams work:
- No license juggling: Clients approve directly via email
- Real-time dashboards: See approval bottlenecks as they happen
- Conditional logic: Auto-approve minor changes, flag major ones
Take client onboarding docs – instead of chasing 5 stakeholders across 3 time zones, ApproveThis automatically routes sections to the right reviewers based on ClickHelp content tags. Legal gets NDAs, Finance sees payment terms, and nobody sees drafts they shouldn’t.
Common “Yeah Buts” We Hear
“We already use ClickHelp comments for approvals”
Cool – until someone misses a notification or you need to prove compliance. Structured approval workflows create actual audit trails.
“Our process is too complex for automation”
ApproveThis handles multi-step, conditional, and parallel approvals. If you can whiteboard it, you can build it.
“We don’t have time to set this up”
The average Zapier integration takes 7 minutes. How many hours are you wasting weekly on manual follow-ups?
Bottom Line
If your document approval process involves more than two “Per my last email” follow-ups, you’re bleeding time and credibility. The ApproveThis + ClickHelp integration via Zapier isn’t about flashy tech – it’s about finally having processes that work as hard as your team does.
Next steps:
1. Register for ApproveThis (free trial available)
2. Connect your ClickHelp account via Zapier
3. Book a 15-minute demo to map your first workflow
Pro tip: Start with one high-volume approval type (like client contracts or knowledge base updates). See results, then scale. Your future self – the one not constantly chasing approvals – will thank you.
