Why Combine ApproveThis and FormAfzar?

When FormAfzar's form-building power meets ApproveThis' approval automation, teams gain a seamless way to turn form submissions into actionable decisions. This integration solves a critical problem: the gap between collecting data through forms and getting timely approvals to act on that data. Marketing teams can approve campaign requests faster, HR departments can process onboarding checklists without delays, and finance teams can automate budget approvals directly from submitted forms.

FormAfzar excels at capturing structured data through customizable forms, while ApproveThis adds decision-making velocity with features like multi-step approvals, automatic escalations, and real-time tracking. Together via Zapier, they create closed-loop processes where form submissions trigger approval workflows, and approval decisions automatically update records or notify stakeholders.

Key Integration Scenarios

1. From Form Submission to Instant Approval Workflow

When a FormAfzar form receives submissions for purchase requests, contract reviews, or project proposals, ApproveThis automatically routes them to the right approvers. A construction company could use this to process material purchase requests: field crews submit orders via FormAfzar, triggering an approval chain in ApproveThis that routes based on dollar amounts. Project managers approve smaller orders instantly via email, while larger purchases escalate to executives.

2. Approval-Driven Data Collection

Reverse the flow by triggering FormAfzar data collection when ApproveThis requests specific information. An insurance company might auto-generate claim assessment forms in FormAfzar when adjusters request additional documentation. Claims specialists receive the completed form directly in their approval workflow, reducing back-and-forth emails.

Team-Specific Benefits

Marketing Teams

Launch campaigns faster by connecting FormAfzar's campaign request forms to ApproveThis' budget approval workflows. When a marketer submits a promotional spend form, ApproveThis automatically routes it based on amount: under $500 to the marketing director, over $500 to the CFO. Calculated fields in ApproveThis instantly show ROI projections pulled from the FormAfzar submission.

Operations Managers

Process equipment requests submitted through FormAfzar maintenance forms with automatic vendor comparisons. Configure ApproveThis to require three quotes for purchases over $2,000, then use approval groups to get consensus from procurement team members. Vacation delegation ensures approvals never stall if team members are out.

HR Departments

Automate onboarding tasks where new hires submit FormAfzar checklists that trigger equipment approval workflows in ApproveThis. Laptop requests auto-approve if under budget, while special software access routes to IT security for review. External contractors can approve NDAs via email without needing FormAfzar logins.

Finance Controllers

Connect FormAfzar expense reports to ApproveThis' threshold-based approvals. Submissions under $200 auto-approve via AI review, while larger expenses route to department heads. Real-time dashboards show pending approvals alongside budget utilization data pulled from FormAfzar form fields.

IT Teams

Manage software access requests submitted through FormAfzar with conditional approval logic. Requests for standard tools auto-approve, while access to sensitive systems require multi-factor approval in ApproveThis. All decisions log back to FormAfzar for audit trails.

Implementation Guide

Setting up the integration takes under 15 minutes:

  1. Create a Zapier account
  2. Choose "New Submission" trigger in FormAfzar
  3. Select "Create Request" action in ApproveThis
  4. Map FormAfzar fields to ApproveThis template

Pro Tip: Use ApproveThis' calculated fields to auto-populate approval rationale. For example: "If FormAfzar's 'Total Cost' field exceeds $X, add CFO approval step."

Unique Advantages

Unlike basic form-to-email approvals, this integration provides:

  • Multi-Stage Routing: Forms requiring sequential approvals (e.g., manager → legal → CFO) automatically progress based on rules
  • External Collaboration: Clients or vendors approve directly via email without needing FormAfzar accounts

A manufacturing company using this setup reduced equipment approval times from 5 days to 8 hours by combining FormAfzar's inspection checklists with ApproveThis' escalation rules.

Getting Started

To implement these workflows:

  1. Register for ApproveThis (14-day free trial)
  2. Build your form in FormAfzar
  3. Connect them using Zapier's pre-built template

For complex use cases like multi-country approvals or compliance-driven workflows, book a custom demo to see conditional logic and approval thresholds in action.

Final Considerations

This integration works best when:

  • You have repetitive approval processes tied to form submissions
  • Multiple departments/stakeholders are involved in decisions
  • Approval criteria can be standardized (amounts, project types, risk levels)

Avoid over-automating scenarios requiring subjective judgment – use ApproveThis' comment fields to capture qualitative feedback during approvals.
