ApproveThis manages your Authvia Integration approvals.

When Approvals Meet Secure Payments

Modern businesses face a critical challenge: keeping financial decisions moving while maintaining security and compliance. Traditional approval processes create delays – emails get buried, approvers miss notifications, and payment requests stall. Authvia's text-based payment capabilities solve half the equation by enabling instant transactions, but what happens when those payments require oversight?

ApproveThis bridges this gap by adding structured approval workflows to Authvia's communication tools. Together, they create an audit-ready system where payment requests are automatically routed to decision-makers, approved via email or mobile, and seamlessly executed through Authvia – all without manual data entry or status chasing.

Three Ways This Integration Transforms Operations

1. Payment Request Escalations That Actually Work

An e-commerce company receives 50+ refund requests daily via Authvia conversations. Their finance team uses ApproveThis to:

• Auto-create approval tickets when Authvia detects keywords like "refund" or "dispute"
• Route requests based on dollar amounts (under $100 auto-approved, over $1k escalates to CFO)

Approvers receive email links to review full conversation history in Authvia without needing login access. The result? Refund processing time dropped from 48 hours to 4 hours.

2. Client Billing Authorization Without the Paperwork

A marketing agency uses Authvia to send project invoices via SMS. With ApproveThis:

• Client replies trigger approval workflows matching their contract terms
• Calculated fields automatically check if hours billed exceed SOW limits
• Overages require client PM approval via email before Authvia processes payment

This eliminated 3 approval steps in their manual process while maintaining client control.

3. Fraud Prevention Through Approval Layers

A SaaS company processes subscription upgrades through Authvia. ApproveThis adds:

• Automatic fraud checks using approval thresholds ($500+ transactions require 2FA)
• Vacation delegation ensures payment requests never stall with unavailable approvers

They reduced fraudulent transactions by 72% in Q1 while maintaining same-day upgrade processing.

Technical Setup Made Simple

Connecting ApproveThis and Authvia takes under 15 minutes through Zapier:

1. Create Zapier accounts for both platforms
2. Choose trigger events from Authvia (new conversation, payment status change)
3. Map conversation data to ApproveThis request fields
4. Set approval rules based on Authvia message content or metadata

Key advantage: External approvers only need email access – no additional software licenses required.

Team-Specific Benefits

Finance Teams

Automate SOX compliance by tying every Authvia payment to an approved request trail. Approval thresholds prevent unauthorized spending, while real-time dashboards show pending transactions.

Customer Support

Resolve billing disputes faster by linking Authvia conversations to pre-approved credit limits. Support agents escalate exceptions via predefined approval paths instead of manual emails.

Operations Managers

Track payment approval SLAs alongside Authvia processing times in a single dashboard. Identify bottlenecks where approval delays impact cash flow.

Why This Isn't Just Another Integration

Most approval tools force teams to work in yet another system. ApproveThis enhances Authvia by:

• Keeping approvals contextual – decision-makers review requests within Authvia's existing conversation threads
• Using dynamic calculations to auto-approve routine transactions (85% of cases) while flagging exceptions
• Providing mobile-friendly approvals that match Authvia's SMS-first approach

Real-World Scenarios

A medical group uses Authvia to collect patient payments after insurance processing. ApproveThis automatically:

• Flags balances over $1,000 for payment plan approval
• Routes Medicare/Medicaid payments to different approvers based on regulatory requirements
• Archives approved requests with Authvia transaction IDs for audit trails

Nonprofit Donations

An international NGO processes disaster relief funds via Authvia. ApproveThis adds:

• Dual approval for withdrawals over $10k
• Automatic currency conversion in approval requests
• Escalation paths when local approvers are offline

The Future of Compliant Payments

ApproveThis and Authvia create a security net that actually improves transaction velocity – approvers spend less time reviewing routine requests, finance teams gain real-time visibility, and customers enjoy faster resolution times.

The integration works because it respects how teams already operate. Authvia users keep their preferred communication channels, while ApproveThis adds structure where needed. Together, they turn payment approvals from a necessary evil into a competitive advantage.
