Why Combine ApproveThis and YumiSign?

Businesses thrive when tools work together. ApproveThis, an approval management platform, and YumiSign, a digital signature solution, solve two critical challenges: getting decisions made and executing them quickly. When integrated via Zapier, these platforms create a seamless bridge between internal approvals and external action.

Imagine a contract that requires both executive sign-off and client signatures. Without automation, this process involves endless emails, missed deadlines, and manual tracking. With ApproveThis and YumiSign working in tandem, approvals trigger signatures, and signed documents trigger follow-up actions—all without human intervention. The result? Faster deals, fewer errors, and teams that focus on high-value work.

Business Benefits of Integration

Accelerate Critical Processes

Approval bottlenecks delay revenue. A marketing agency waiting for client sign-off on a proposal can’t start work. A manufacturing company stuck in procurement limbo can’t order materials. By connecting ApproveThis and YumiSign, businesses cut approval-to-execution time by up to 70%. For example, legal teams automatically send approved contracts for signature the moment internal stakeholders greenlight them.

Reduce Manual Work

Every manual step introduces risk. Copy-pasting data between systems, chasing approvers over email, or forgetting to notify signers creates frustration and errors. Automation via Zapier eliminates these tasks. Finance teams, for instance, auto-generate approval requests when invoices exceed budget thresholds—then route signed documents directly to accounting software.

Improve Cross-Team Collaboration

External partners rarely use internal tools. ApproveThis solves this by letting external clients approve requests via email without needing a YumiSign license. A construction firm could have vendors sign NDAs through YumiSign while keeping internal procurement approvals within ApproveThis—all in one workflow.

Real-World Use Cases

1. Instant Approval Requests for Signed Documents

How It Works: When a document is signed in YumiSign (e.g., a vendor contract), Zapier triggers ApproveThis to create an approval request for next steps (e.g., payment processing or project kickoff).

Who Benefits:

  • Legal Teams: Automatically flag signed contracts for compliance review.
  • Freelancers: Trigger client payment approvals immediately after contract signing.

A healthcare clinic uses this integration to route signed patient consent forms to department heads for resource allocation. Previously, this took three days; now, it happens in minutes.

2. Project Creation Post-Approval

How It Works: When an approval request is initiated in ApproveThis (e.g., a new marketing campaign budget), Zapier creates a YumiSign project using predefined templates (e.g., client onboarding checklists).

Who Benefits:

  • Consulting Firms: Launch client projects the moment budgets get approved.
  • HR Departments: Start employee onboarding workflows after offer letters are signed.

An IT company automates server procurement: once ApproveThis approves a purchase, YumiSign generates a vendor agreement and project timeline without manual input.

Key Features That Make It Work

ApproveThis Strengths

Conditional Logic: Route high-value contracts to executives while auto-approving small expenses.
Approval Groups: Require consensus from legal, finance, and operations teams for complex deals.
Vacation Delegation: Prevent delays by auto-reassigning approvals when team members are OOO.

YumiSign Advantages

Template Library: Reuse standardized documents for NDAs, SOWs, or compliance forms.
Audit Trails: Maintain tamper-proof records of who signed what—and when.

Setting Up the Integration

Step 1: Create a Zapier account (free tier available).
Step 2: Choose a trigger. For “Approval → Signature” flows, use YumiSign’s New Signed Document trigger. For “Approval → Project” flows, use ApproveThis’ New Request trigger.
Step 3: Map data fields. Connect YumiSign document IDs to ApproveThis request details.
Step 4: Test with a non-critical process (e.g., office supply approvals).

Most setups take under 20 minutes. No coding required.

Team-Specific Workflows

Finance & Accounting

Auto-approve invoices under $5K using ApproveThis thresholds. For larger amounts, require CFO approval, then send approved invoices to YumiSign for vendor signatures. Sync signed docs to QuickBooks.

Sales & Business Development

Send contracts for internal legal review via ApproveThis. Once approved, push to YumiSign for client signing. Update CRM deal stages automatically post-signature.

Operations & Procurement

Create purchase requests in ApproveThis with real-time budget calculations. Upon approval, generate YumiSign PO documents and assign vendor onboarding tasks.

Why This Integration Wins

Other e-signature tools lack ApproveThis’ granular approval controls. Similarly, most approval platforms can’t match YumiSign’s template flexibility. Together, they cover the full lifecycle: decision → documentation → action.

Plus, ApproveThis doesn’t force external partners to learn new systems. Clients approve via email; vendors sign via YumiSign. No extra licenses, no training needed.
