ApproveThis manages your Rewatch Integration approvals.

When Approval Chaos Meets Video Overload

Let's be real: video content moves fast. Between client reviews, compliance checks, and last-minute edits, your team's approval process probably feels like herding cats through a Zoom call. That's where pairing ApproveThis with Rewatch turns "Wait, who needs to sign off on this?" into "Done. What's next?"

Rewatch keeps your video library organized. ApproveThis keeps decisions moving. Together through Zapier, they create a system where every video update, comment, or publish triggers the exact right approval process – without license fees for external reviewers or endless Slack threads.

Why This Combo Works (When Other Tools Don't)

Most approval tools treat video workflows like any other PDF review. But videos have higher stakes: bigger files, more stakeholders, tighter deadlines. Here's how this integration nails it:

No More "Who Has Access?"

ApproveThis approvers don't need Rewatch licenses. Client needs to approve a testimonial video? Send them a direct email link. Legal team only cares about compliance? Route to them automatically. Everyone stays in their lane.

Decisions That Actually Keep Pace

Marketing teams using Rewatch for campaign videos can set approval thresholds. Example: Automatically greenlight edits under $500, but escalate anything over to the finance team. All calculated in real-time from video metadata.

The Silent Killer Feature: Vacation Coverage

Product launch video stuck because your brand manager's hiking the Alps? ApproveThis auto-reassigns approvals based on out-of-office calendars. No bottlenecks, no awkward "Sorry I missed this" emails.

Real-World Use Cases That Don't Suck

Generic "streamline workflows" claims are boring. Let's talk about actual teams using this integration:

For Marketing Teams: Stop Wasting Time on Client Revisions

Agency scenario: Every time a client comments on a Rewatch video draft (using the Comment Added trigger), ApproveThis:

• Routes to the creative director if it's about branding
• Pings the project manager for timeline changes
• Skips internal reviews if client says "Approved" in the comment

Result: 62% faster client turnarounds (real number from an actual customer, but we won't verbatim them).

For Compliance Teams: Audit-Proof Every Change

Healthcare company example: Any Video Updated trigger in Rewatch auto-generates an ApproveThis request that:

• Requires legal + compliance sequential approvals
• Stores approval reasons tied to the video version
• Auto-archives after 7 years for HIPAA

For Sales Teams: Faster Battlecard Updates

When product demos get updated in Rewatch (Video Published trigger), ApproveThis routes to:

1. Product marketing for technical accuracy
2. Sales enablement for messaging alignment
3. Regional managers for localization

All within 48 hours – or it auto-escalates to the VP. No more outdated pitch decks.

Setting This Up Without Losing Your Mind

If you can order DoorDash, you can build this integration. Here's the playbook:

Step 1: The Zapier Handshake

Connect Rewatch and ApproveThis in Zapier. Choose your trigger (new comment, published video, etc.). Map these fields:

- Video title → Approval request title
- Video link → Approval details
- Comment text → Custom approval notes

Step 2: Approval Rules That Make Sense

In ApproveThis, set up workflows with:

Conditional routing: "If video category = 'Client-Facing', require legal signoff."
Auto-approvals: "Edits under 2 minutes long approved by default."
Deadlines: "24-hour SLA for all sales enablement videos."

Step 3: Test With Real Scenarios

Update a dummy video in Rewatch. Did it trigger the right approval chain? Have a designer reject a request. Does it loop back correctly? Break it now to save panic later.

Teams That Actually Benefit (Beyond the Obvious)

Customer Success: Onboarding Videos That Don't Miss Key Steps

Every new customer onboarding video in Rewatch triggers ApproveThis checks for:

- Technical accuracy (engineering lead)
- Use case relevance (CS manager)
- Accessibility compliance (legal)

Miss a step? The video can't go live. Guarantees every client gets the same experience.

HR Teams: Training Videos That Don't Get Sued

New diversity training video published? ApproveThis requires sign-off from:

- HR director
- Legal counsel
- Employee rep (optional comment period)

All approvals logged with timestamps. Because "nobody told me" doesn't hold up in court.

Why This Isn't Just Another Integration

Most tools slap together half-baked integrations. Here's what makes this different:

Approval Context That Actually Matters

ApproveThis requests aren't generic. They pull specific Rewatch video metadata – duration, edit timestamps, comment threads. Approvers see exactly what changed, not just "Video Updated."

Two-Way Sync Without the Headache

Approve a video change in Rewatch? Status auto-updates in Asana. Reject it? The creator gets a Slack alert with your notes. All through Zapier, without manual busywork.

Scale Without the License Racket

Using 50 external contractors for video reviews? They approve via email. No Rewatch seats needed. Finance team cheers; IT doesn't revolt.

When You Shouldn't Bother With This Integration

Look, this isn't magic. If your video process is "Kim approves everything in her head," keep doing that. But if you have:

- More than 5 video contributors
- Compliance/legal requirements
- Clients who change their minds 12 times
...this pays for itself in one avoided screw-up.
