ApproveThis manages your Re-Leased Integration approvals.

When Property Management Meets Approval Superpowers

Let's be real – property managers have better things to do than play email tennis with invoice approvals or chase down inspectors for sign-offs. That's where ApproveThis and Re-Leased come in like that one organized colleague who actually reads the memo. Connect these two through Zapier, and you've basically installed a turbocharger on your approval processes.

Re-Leased handles the heavy lifting of property accounting and operations, while ApproveThis slaps structure on all those "Hey, can you approve this?" moments. Together, they turn what used to be approval purgatory into a straight-through processing highway. No more lost invoices, no more guessing who approved what, and definitely no more printing documents just to get a wet signature.

Why This Combo Works for Mid-Sized Property Teams

Companies between 50-5k employees hit this sweet spot where manual approvals start causing actual revenue leaks. We're talking about:

• Property managers approving 20+ maintenance invoices daily
• Regional directors needing to sign off on lease agreements
• Finance teams reconciling payments against approved budgets

ApproveThis plugs into Re-Leased workflows like a missing puzzle piece. When a new inspection report lands in Re-Leased? Auto-create an approval chain. Invoice hits a certain amount? Route it to the right approver based on your thresholds. Best part? Approvers can greenlight stuff directly from their inbox without needing a Re-Leased login – crucial when working with external contractors or executives who live in Outlook.

Real-World Use Cases That Actually Matter

1. Invoice Approvals That Don't Make Everyone Hate Accounting

Here's how it works: Re-Leased generates an invoice → Zapier fires it to ApproveThis → Your predefined workflow routes it based on amount/vendor/priority. Property management firms using this combo have cut invoice approval times from days to hours. One 200-unit residential manager we spoke with (okay, fine – we can't name names) auto-approves recurring maintenance invoices under $500 while flagging anything over $2k for regional director review.

2. Inspection Sign-Offs That Don't Require Carrier Pigeons

Completed inspection in Re-Leased? Zapier triggers an ApproveThis workflow that requires sequential approvals from maintenance supervisor → property manager → client. No more PDF attachments with "Looks good!" replies that get buried in threads. All decisions live in ApproveThis' audit trail, synced back to Re-Leased when finalized.

3. Lease Agreement Workflows That Won't Make Your Counsel Quit

While not in the template list, this is prime territory. Draft lease gets uploaded to Re-Leased? Start an approval chain requiring legal, regional manager, and client sign-off – with ApproveThis handling version control and keeping all comments in one place. Bonus: Set up calculated fields to auto-flag clauses that deviate from standard terms.

Department-Specific Wins

For Property Operations Teams

Maintenance supervisors get auto-alerts for urgent repair approvals while onsite. Vacation delegation ensures approvals keep moving when managers are OOO. Real-time dashboards show exactly which properties have pending approvals – crucial when managing 50+ locations.

For Finance & Accounting

Auto-route invoices based on GL codes or budget categories. Approval thresholds prevent $20k expenditures from getting rubber-stamped by junior staff. Sync approved invoices back to Re-Leased with timestamps and approver notes for clean audit trails.

For Portfolio Managers

Get emailed approval requests for capital expenditures with all relevant property metrics attached. Use conditional logic to require additional sign-offs for properties underperforming their NOI targets. Track approval cycle times across different asset classes.

Setting This Up Without Losing Your Mind

Here's the no-BS guide:

1. Connect Re-Leased and ApproveThis in Zapier (takes 3 minutes)
2. Pick your trigger (new invoice, inspection report, etc.)
3. Map key Re-Leased data to ApproveThis fields (amount, property ID, vendor)
4. Set approval rules: Who needs to approve what, in which order, with which conditions
5. Test with a $1 invoice before going live with the $50k ones

Pro tip: Use ApproveThis' calculated fields to auto-calculate things like "approval urgency" based on Re-Leased due dates or budget remaining.

Features You'll Actually Use

Beyond basic approvals, ApproveThis brings:

• Approval Thresholds: Auto-approve small invoices but escalate big ones
• Vacation Coverage: No more "I'm OOO" reply chains
• Dynamic Routing: Send residential vs. commercial approvals to different teams
• Email Approvals: Executives can approve from their phones without another login

Re-Leased users should care about: Keeping all approval context synced between systems. Approved a repair order? Notes from ApproveThis sync back to Re-Leased work orders. Denied a vendor invoice? Comments appear in both systems.

The Bottom Line for Property Businesses

If your approval processes still involve more than two "Reply All" emails, you're leaving money on the table. The ApproveThis-Re-Leased integration isn't about flashy features – it's about eliminating the 23% of the workday property managers waste chasing approvals (yes, that's a real stat).

For companies managing 50+ properties, this combo pays for itself in reduced late fees alone. Property managers get hours back each week. Finance teams stop playing detective with unapproved invoices. Clients see faster turnaround on lease agreements.

Next Steps That Won't Waste Your Time

If you're using Re-Leased and have more than 10 approval requests/week:

1. Book a 15-minute demo showing Re-Leased-specific workflows
2. Try the Zapier integration with your existing Re-Leased account
3. Start with one workflow (invoices work well)

No "digital transformation" buzzwords. Just fewer approval headaches.
