ApproveThis manages your Monosnap Integration approvals.

Integration Category: Content Files
Two Tools, One Seamless Process
Monosnap makes it easy to capture screenshots, record screens, and share visual content. But once those files leave the app, teams often face a new challenge: getting stakeholders to review and approve assets efficiently. This is where ApproveThis transforms the game. By connecting Monosnap's lightning-fast visual documentation with ApproveThis's structured approval workflows through Zapier, businesses turn chaotic email threads into trackable processes that keep projects moving.
Why This Integration Matters
Monosnap users - designers, support teams, educators - create visuals daily. But without a system to manage approvals, files get lost in inboxes or stuck waiting for feedback. ApproveThis adds guardrails without slowing things down. When a Monosnap file triggers an automated approval request, stakeholders receive clear instructions via email, can review attachments directly, and click approve/reject without logging into another tool. For teams dealing with clients, vendors, or cross-departmental reviews, this eliminates license costs and login hassles for external collaborators.
Real-World Use Cases
Marketing Teams: From Screenshot to Social Media in One Flow
A content creator uses Monosnap to capture product screenshots for a campaign. Instead of Slack-ing a designer and CC-ing five stakeholders, the Zapier integration automatically creates an ApproveThis request with the image attached. The workflow routes it first to legal (for trademark checks), then to the client (for brand alignment), with automatic reminders if anyone delays. Once approved, the same Zap can trigger the design team's project management tool to start building ads.
Software Teams: Bug Reports That Don't Get Lost
QA engineers annotate bugs in Monosnap, but developers need confirmation before prioritizing fixes. An automated approval request ensures the engineering lead validates the issue's severity. ApproveThis's calculated fields can even auto-approve minor bugs based on predefined criteria, while critical issues escalate to senior staff.
Client Services: Transparent Revisions
When agencies share wireframes or mockups via Monosnap, clients often reply with vague feedback like "make it pop." By requiring clients to formally approve or reject versions in ApproveThis, agencies reduce revision cycles. The platform's audit trail also settles disputes about missed deadlines or unclear requests.
Key Integration Features
This isn't just about passing files between apps. The Monosnap-ApproveThis connection via Zapier unlocks unique advantages:
No More Approval Black Holes
Approvers receive emails with embedded Monosnap previews and one-click actions. If someone forgets to respond, ApproveThis escalates the request based on your rules - no manual follow-up needed.
Contextual Decision-Making
Attach Monosnap files directly to approval requests alongside related data. For example: A screenshot of a pricing page update could include a calculated field showing the revenue impact, helping approvers make informed decisions.
Cross-Platform Accountability
Track which Monosnap files are pending review, approved with comments, or rejected - all within ApproveThis's dashboard. This single source of truth prevents teams from acting on unapproved changes.
Setting Up the Integration
Using Zapier, connect Monosnap and ApproveThis in three steps:
- Choose Your Trigger: In Zapier, select Monosnap's "New File" trigger. Test with a recent screenshot to ensure it works.
- Map Critical Data: Configure ApproveThis to create requests with Monosnap's file URL, title, and any metadata (like project tags).
- Set Escalation Rules: Within ApproveThis, define who approves what. Example: Screenshots under 2MB auto-approve, while larger files route to IT for bandwidth review.
For detailed steps, visit Monosnap's integration docs or ApproveThis's Zapier guide.
Who Benefits Most?
Marketing & Creative Teams
Reduce time-to-publish by 40%: Designers upload social media visuals to Monosnap, triggering immediate approval requests. Stakeholders review on mobile via email, and approved assets auto-sync to your CMS.
Legal & Compliance Teams
Avoid costly oversights: Monosnap screenshots of contract clauses or UI changes require legal sign-off. ApproveThis ensures nothing goes live without proper review, with a full audit trail for regulators.
Client-Facing Teams
Impress customers with transparency: Share Monosnap prototypes via ApproveThis, where clients see all versions in one thread. They approve with comments directly in their inbox, no portal login required.
Why Zapier Makes This Effortless
Zapier acts as the silent conductor here. It watches for new Monosnap files and translates them into ApproveThis actions without custom code. Since both apps update their Zapier integrations regularly, you get reliability without maintenance. For teams using other tools, add steps to notify Slack, update Asana tasks, or log approvals in Google Sheets - all within the same Zap.
Beyond Basic Approvals: Advanced Scenarios
Conditional Workflows
Use ApproveThis's thresholds to auto-approve routine Monosnap files. Example: Marketing assets under $500 in production costs skip managerial review, while higher budgets trigger CFO approval.
Multi-Language Support
Global teams can configure ApproveThis emails in an approver's native language, even if their Monosnap interface is in English. This reduces miscommunication during cross-border reviews.
Version Control
When a Monosnap file is updated after rejection, ApproveThis can trigger a new request while keeping the old thread for reference. No more confusion about which screenshot is current.

Final Note: Approval Culture Matters
Tools don't fix broken processes - but they do amplify good ones. By pairing Monosnap's agility with ApproveThis's structure, teams build a culture where feedback is timely, decisions are documented, and nobody wonders, "Did that get approved?" That's the real ROI: fewer meetings, faster launches, and confident teams.
