ApproveThis manages your ResponseSuite approvals.

When Survey Meets Sign-Off

Let's get real – most companies treat survey results like a hot potato. Marketing collects feedback, operations scrambles to analyze it, and everyone waits weeks for someone to approve next steps. ResponseSuite gives you the customer intelligence, but who's making sure those insights actually turn into action?

That's where ApproveThis comes in. We're not another survey tool – we're the missing link between getting data and getting shit done. Connect ResponseSuite to ApproveThis via Zapier, and suddenly every survey response kicks off a clear approval path. No more lost requests in Slack purgatory.

Why This Combo Doesn't Just Work – It Wins

ResponseSuite tells you what customers want. ApproveThis makes sure the right people greenlight those wants. Together, they solve three big headaches for growing companies:

• Speed: Turn survey insights into approved actions in hours, not weeks
• Accountability: No more "I thought YOU were handling that" emails

Take a retail company using ResponseSuite for product requests. Without approvals, those requests die in spreadsheets. Connect it to ApproveThis? Every survey submission auto-triggers a purchase approval workflow with dollar thresholds. Buyers approve bulk orders, managers handle exceptions – all tracked in one place.

Real-World Use Cases That Don't Suck

1. Customer Feedback That Actually Gets Implemented

Service companies love this combo. Say a client survey in ResponseSuite requests a new feature. Zapier auto-creates an ApproveThis request that routes to:

• Tech lead (feasibility check)
• Account manager (client priority)
• Finance (budget approval)

Bonus: Use ApproveThis' calculated fields to auto-flag high-cost features based on survey data. No more budget surprises.

2. Marketing Campaigns That Don't Require a Psychic

Here's how a 200-person e-commerce team uses it:

1. ResponseSuite survey identifies demand for 15% loyalty discounts
2. Zapier triggers ApproveThis workflow with:
- Pre-filled discount parameters
- Auto-approval if under $10K loss projection
- Escalation to CFO if exceeds threshold
3. Approved? Discount goes live same day

Their VP of Ops told us (not a verbatim quote, relax): "We went from guessing at survey results to having a system that actually connects feedback to execution."

Setup That Doesn't Require an IT Degree

If you can make toast, you can set this up:

1. Create a Zap
2. Trigger: New ResponseSuite survey submission
3. Action: Create ApproveThis request
4. Map survey fields to approval form (budget, priority, etc.)
5. Set approval rules (who needs to sign off, thresholds)
6. Test with a $0 budget survey submission (trust us)

Pro tip: Use ApproveThis' vacation delegation so summer Fridays don't bottleneck approvals.

Department-Specific Wins

For Operations Teams

Stop being the nagging middleman. Set up auto-routing where:
- Customer satisfaction scores below 70% → immediate exec escalation
- Feature requests with 50+ votes → auto-approved for sprint planning
All tracked in ApproveThis' dashboard with zero manual herding.

For Customer Success

Client submitted a survey about onboarding issues? Zapier creates an approval request that:
- Requires CS lead sign-off within 24hrs
- Auto-attaches NPS data from ResponseSuite
- Routes to engineering if tech changes needed

Your clients think you're psychic. We won't tell them otherwise.

For Finance

Sleep better knowing that:
- All survey-driven spending has audit trails
- Thresholds auto-reject requests over budget
- Multi-tier approvals happen before commitments

Plus, ApproveThis integrates with your ERP – no double entry.

The Unsexy Features That Make This Actually Work

We get it – "approval thresholds" sounds like accounting talk. Here's why it matters:

Email approvals: Approvers don't need another login. They click approve/reject in email. Even your least techy client can handle it.

Conditional logic: If a ResponseSuite survey shows 80%+ urgency, skip junior approvers and go straight to department heads. No bureaucracy.

Real-time tracking: See every pending survey-related decision in one dashboard. Bonus: Export reports to shut up "where are we on..." meeting questions.

Common Objections (And Why They're BS)

"We already have Jira/Asana for this."
Cool. Do they auto-create tasks from surveys with approval rules? Do they handle external clients without licenses? Didn't think so.

"Our process is too complex."
ApproveThis handles 15-step approvals with parallel paths. If your process is more complicated than nuclear launch codes, we'll handle it.

How Not to Screw This Up

Do:
- Start with one survey type (e.g., customer feature requests)
- Use calculated fields to auto-priority score submissions
- Set escalation rules for stale requests

Don't:
- Overcomplicate initial workflows
- Forget to exclude test survey responses
- Let approvers hide behind "I didn't see the email"

Bottom Line

ResponseSuite tells you what's wrong. ApproveThis fixes it. Together, they turn survey paralysis into actual decisions – without adding meetings or license costs.
