Integration Category: Scheduling
Two Platforms, One Powerful Workflow
Businesses using SimplyBook.me already know the value of automated scheduling - but what happens after the appointment gets booked? Manual approval processes create bottlenecks that slow down operations and frustrate both staff and clients. This is where ApproveThis transforms your workflow. By connecting these platforms through Zapier, you create a closed-loop system where bookings automatically trigger approval workflows, and decisions automatically update your scheduling operations.
Why This Integration Matters
SimplyBook.me excels at managing calendars and client interactions, while ApproveThis specializes in structured decision-making. Together, they solve three critical business challenges:
- Eliminate approval bottlenecks: 87% of employees report delays caused by manual approval processes (McKinsey)
- Maintain compliance: Automatic audit trails for every booking-related decision
- Improve client experience: Faster confirmation cycles for time-sensitive appointments
Real-World Use Cases That Deliver Results
1. High-Stakes Appointment Management
Medical clinics using SimplyBook.me for patient scheduling can automatically route complex requests through ApproveThis. When a patient books an MRI scan:
- Insurance pre-authorization triggers parallel approvals
- Radiologist availability checks happen automatically
- Patients receive conditional confirmations within minutes
Approval thresholds ensure urgent cases bypass standard queues, while calculated fields verify insurance coverage limits in real time.
2. Enterprise-Grade Resource Scheduling
For companies managing shared facilities through SimplyBook.me, ApproveThis adds critical governance layers. A law firm booking conference rooms might:
- Require partner approval for AV equipment reservations
- Auto-escalate conflicts to office managers
- Sync approved bookings directly to cleaning staff calendars
Approval groups with sequential routing ensure proper oversight without creating unnecessary delays.
3. Client Onboarding at Scale
Consulting firms using SimplyBook.me for discovery calls can automate client vetting through ApproveThis:
- New client submissions trigger compliance checks
- Conflict of interest verifications happen pre-meeting
- Auto-delegation handles approver vacations seamlessly
External clients approve NDAs directly via email without needing SimplyBook.me logins - a key advantage for B2B service providers.
Implementation Made Simple
Connecting your systems takes under 15 minutes through Zapier:
- Create Zapier accounts for both platforms
- Set SimplyBook.me "New Booking" as trigger
- Map booking data to ApproveThis request fields
- Test with live booking data
Pro Tip: Use ApproveThis' calculated fields to auto-approve repeat clients while flagging new accounts for review.
Team-Specific Benefits
Operations Managers
Reduce scheduling conflicts by 63% through automated approval routing. Real-time dashboards show pending requests alongside booking calendars, while conditional logic handles:
- Peak-time surcharge approvals
- VIP client exceptions
- Cross-departmental resource allocations
Finance Teams
ApproveThis' monetary thresholds integrate directly with SimplyBook.me pricing rules. When a sales rep books a discounted demo:
- Discounts over 15% auto-route to managers
- Custom fields verify deal pipeline stage
- Approved discounts sync back to SimplyBook.me pricing
Client Services
Maintain perfect compliance while improving responsiveness:
- Auto-approve 80% of routine bookings
- Focus human effort on edge cases
- Provide clients real-time status updates
Beyond Basic Approvals
While the Zapier integration handles core scheduling workflows, ApproveThis adds unique capabilities:
- Multi-language support: Approvers receive emails in their native language
- Dynamic routing: Reschedule requests auto-route to alternate staff when primary approvers are booked
- Compliance guardrails: Automatic PDF audits for regulated industries
