When Chat Meets Checklist
Let's get real: approvals suck. They’re the traffic jam in your workflow highway. But what if your team could handle approvals as smoothly as you handle customer chats? That’s where ApproveThis and Bconnect come in – like peanut butter and jelly, but for getting shit done.
Bconnect keeps your teams talking across every channel imaginable. ApproveThis slaps structure on your approval processes. Together? They turn “Hey, can someone approve this?!” chaos into a silent, automated handshake between systems. No more chasing down managers in Slack DMs or digging through email threads.
Why This Combo Doesn’t Just Look Good on Paper
Most approval tools make you choose between flexibility and control. ApproveThis gives you both, and when you plug it into Bconnect via Zapier, you’re basically giving your approval process a caffeine drip. Here’s the breakdown:
Bconnect’s Superpower
Real-time chat ops across web, mobile, SMS – you name it. Perfect for teams drowning in customer comms but struggling with internal follow-through.
ApproveThis’s Party Trick
Turning “Who needs to approve this?” into a automated checklist that even your most scatterbrained exec can’t mess up. Conditional approvals, automatic escalations, and approval chains that actually make sense.
Merge them, and you’ve got approvals that trigger from chat activity, status updates that flow back into conversations, and zero license headaches because approvers don’t need Bconnect logins. External partners? Contractors? They can approve via email like civilized humans.
Real-World Wins (No Fluff)
Let’s talk brass tacks. Here’s how mid-sized companies are using this combo without hiring more coordinators:
Customer Support That Doesn’t Blow Budgets
Picture this: A pissed customer demands a refund in a Bconnect chat. Instead of your agent begging a manager on Zoom, the system auto-creates an ApproveThis request with chat transcript and order history. Managers approve/deny in two clicks from their phone. Resolution time drops from 24 hours to 20 minutes. CSAT scores go brrr.
Sales Teams Closing Deals, Not Chasing Signatures
Your rep closes a big deal via Bconnect’s SMS channel. Contract gets auto-generated and fires off to legal via ApproveThis. Legal team adds their redlines, sales manager approves final version, client signs – all without leaving the chat thread. Your VP Sales stops having stress dreams about lost deals.
IT That Actually Says “Yes” Sometimes
Employee requests software access in a Bconnect channel. ApproveThis pings their manager, then IT security if needed, calculates license costs on the fly, and auto-approves if under budget. No more ticket ping-pong. Your sysadmins might even smile once a quarter.
Setting This Up Without Losing Your Mind
If you can make toast, you can connect these tools. Here’s the cheat code:
- Grab your Zapier account (free tier works)
- Choose Bconnect’s “Chat Pushed” trigger
- Map key chat data to ApproveThis’s request form
- Set approval rules in ApproveThis (who, thresholds, etc.)
Pro tip: Use ApproveThis’s calculated fields to auto-approve small spends or standard requests. Save human brainpower for the exceptions.
Department-Specific Wins
Finance Teams
Auto-flag expenses over $5k from Bconnect receipts. ApproveThis routes to correct approvers based on cost center. Vacation mode ensures no hold-ups when Karen in Accounting is on safari.
Operations Crew
Vendor quote comes via Bconnect email? ApproveThis checks against budget, auto-approves if under threshold, pings procurement if not. PO gets sent before your coffee gets cold.
HR Heroes
Candidate accepts offer via Bconnect SMS. ApproveThis triggers equipment setup approvals, manager notifications, and onboarding checklist – all before HR’s first latte.
The Unsexy (But Critical) Perks
Beyond faster approvals, this combo gives you:
- Audit trails that don’t lie: Every approval tied to specific chat/request
- No app switching: Approvers live in email, requesters live in Bconnect
- Scale without chaos: Add approval steps as you grow
When You Should Probably Look Elsewhere
This isn’t magic fairy dust. If your approval process is “The CEO approves everything while skydiving”, you’ll need different help. But for companies where consistency beats heroics, it’s a game-changer.
Your Move
ApproveThis + Bconnect via Zapier isn’t another “digital transformation” buzzword. It’s 23% fewer approval delays (real number from actual users). It’s employees actually following processes instead of DM’ing you. It’s scaling operations without adding bureaucracy.
