When Resource Planning Meets Decision Velocity

Let's get real - your project plans in Ganttic only matter if people actually approve the work. But chasing down sign-offs through Slack threads and reply-all emails? That's how deadlines die. ApproveThis fixes the "human bottleneck" problem in your Ganttic workflows without turning you into that annoying follow-up person.

Here's the play: Connect Ganttic's visual planning to ApproveThis' automated approval chains via Zapier. Now when projects change or tasks update, the right people get actionable approval requests in their inbox - not another spreadsheet link to ignore. 65% faster decisions? That's the average for our clients. Not bad for avoiding "per my last email."

Why This Isn't Just Another Integration

Ganttic's great at showing what needs doing. ApproveThis handles the who said yes. Together, they solve the two biggest project delays:

  • Visibility ≠ Accountability: That red/yellow/green task in Ganttic? Doesn't tell you whose court the ball's in.
  • Context Switching Kills Momentum: Forcing approvers to log into Ganttic? Good luck with that.

Example: A marketing agency plans a client campaign in Ganttic. When the project scope changes, ApproveThis automatically:

  • Routes budget increase approval to the CFO
  • Flags timeline changes for client sign-off
  • Updates Ganttic tasks only after approvals land

No license seats required for clients or execs. They approve via email. Your Ganttic plan stays clean.

Real Workflows for Teams Who Ship Projects

Use Case 1: New Project Guardrails

The Problem: Your sales team overpromises timelines. Operations gets stuck with unrealistic Ganttic plans.

The Fix: Auto-trigger ApproveThis requests when new projects hit Ganttic. Requires ops lead sign-off before team assignments.

Who Wins: Manufacturing firms preventing equipment overallocation. Agencies stopping "scope creep by spreadsheet."

Use Case 2: Change Order Chaos Control

The Problem: Client requests mid-project. Your team updates Ganttic tasks...but nobody tracks if changes are approved.

The Fix: When Ganttic tasks update, ApproveThis requires client/manager approval. Only then does the task turn green.

Who Wins: IT teams managing scope changes. Construction crews handling material cost approvals.

Use Case 3: Post-Approval Momentum

The Problem: Approvals happen...then everyone forgets the next steps.

The Fix: When ApproveThis gives the green light, Zapier auto-creates Ganttic tasks with assignees and deadlines.

Who Wins: Product teams launching features. HR onboarding new hires with 20+ dependency tasks.

Setup That Doesn't Require a PhD

Connect Ganttic + ApproveThis in Zapier (15 mins tops):

  1. In Zapier, choose Ganttic's "New Project" trigger
  2. Filter for projects needing approvals (e.g., budget over $10k)
  3. Map key fields to ApproveThis: requester, budget, deadlines
  4. Set approval rules: Who approves what, in which order
  5. Test with a real project. Tweak as needed.

Pro Tip: Use ApproveThis' calculated fields to auto-flag projects needing extra scrutiny. Ex: If Ganttic task hours exceed 200, require VP approval.

Why Your Finance Team Will High-Five You

ApproveThis isn't just about speed. It's about audit trails for every "yes":

  • Auto-log approved budgets vs. actuals in Ganttic
  • Enforce approval thresholds (e.g., anything over $5k needs CFO eyes)
  • Stop rogue spending with pre-approval chains

Example: A healthcare provider reduced unapproved equipment purchases by 78% by linking Ganttic resource requests to ApproveThis workflows. Procurement now happens after approval, not before.

For Teams Who Hate Micromanaging

ApproveThis handles the annoying parts so you can focus on work that matters:

  • Vacation Delegation: Approvals auto-reassign when someone's OOO. No more "Waiting on Jim" delays.
  • Approval Groups: Need 3 engineers to sign off? They get parallel requests. Majority rules.
  • Real-Time Dashboards: See which Ganttic tasks are stuck in approval limbo. No status meetings needed.

Bottom Line: Plans That Actually Happen

Ganttic shows you the ideal path. ApproveThis ensures the path gets walked. Together, they turn "We should..." into "We did."

Next Steps:

P.S. This integration works for 50-person shops and 5,000-employee orgs. The bigger your team, the more hours you'll save.
