ApproveThis manages your eTermin Integration approvals.

Let's get real - if your team's still manually approving every appointment booking, rescheduling, or cancellation, you're leaving money on the table while burning through man-hours. Enter the ApproveThis and eTermin integration via Zapier, which turns scheduling into a self-regulating system that actually scales with your business.

Why This Combo Works For Mid-Sized Companies

eTermin handles the front-end scheduling mess (no more 3am booking requests piling up in someone's inbox). ApproveThis manages the back-end decision making (no more hunting down managers for sign-offs). Together through Zapier, they create closed-loop workflows where every booking action triggers the right approval process automatically.

Healthcare clinics use this to prevent overbooking specialists. IT services companies automate client onboarding approvals. Equipment rental shops handle reservation conflicts before they happen. The pattern's simple: eTermin captures the action, ApproveThis routes the decision, Zapier keeps them synced without manual data entry.

Three Ways This Integration Solves Real Problems

1. No More Booking Free-For-Alls

When eTermin detects a new appointment (say, a last-minute MRI booking), Zapier triggers ApproveThis to check:

• Is the machine available?
• Does the patient need pre-authorization?
• Which radiologist's on call?

Approvers get emailed questions specific to the booking. They click approve/deny without logging into any systems. Clinic admins see greenlit appointments auto-confirm in eTermin - no status meetings required.

2. Approval-Based Contact Management

Law firms love this one. When a new client intake form gets approved in ApproveThis, Zapier pushes their contact details to eTermin. Now the client gets automatic court date reminders without your paralegal touching a keyboard. Denied requests? Those contacts get tagged "Pending Review" so they're not lost in the void.

3. Cancellation Guardrails

That moment when a high-value client cancels their quarterly strategy session? The integration flags it in ApproveThis so your account lead can approve the cancellation (maybe they want to offer a reschedule instead). Prevents revenue leaks from accidental or impulsive cancellations.

Setup That Takes Less Time Than Your Daily Standup

Connect eTermin to Zapier (their appointment API plays nice). Link ApproveThis using our Zapier template. Choose your triggers:

1. Pick an eTermin event (new booking, cancellation, etc.)
2. Map the data to an ApproveThis approval template
3. Set approval rules (thresholds, groups, etc.)

Pro tip: Use ApproveThis' calculated fields to auto-flag conflicts. Example: If eTermin shows a 4-hour equipment booking, but approval's only needed for rentals over $500, the math happens automatically.

Department-Specific Wins

Operations Teams

Auto-escalate double-booked appointments based on dollar value. $200 massage appointment? Auto-approve. $20,000 industrial equipment booking? Routes to the plant manager. All tracked in ApproveThis' dashboard with timestamps for audit trails.

Finance Teams

Require purchase order approvals before high-value bookings get confirmed. Since approvers don't need eTermin logins, even external vendors can review requests via email. Late payer wants to reschedule? Freeze their bookings until AR clears them.

HR Teams

Employee training session bookings get auto-approved if within budget. Exceed allocated hours? Routes to department heads. Integrate with your HRIS via Zapier to pull remaining PTO balances into approval decisions.

Why This Isn't Just Another Integration

Most scheduling tools stop at calendar sync. This combo adds enforceable business rules to every booking action. Think of it like quality control for your calendar:

• New bookings get validated against budgets, inventory, or compliance rules
• Cancellations trigger retention workflows
• High-risk appointments require consensus from multiple teams

Field services companies use approval thresholds to auto-approve standard maintenance calls but require manager sign-off for emergency visits. Marketing agencies automatically check client retainers before booking campaign reviews. The logic bends to your process, not the other way around.

The Hidden Benefit? Less App Switching

Approvers live in their inboxes. With ApproveThis' email-based approvals, they never need to log into eTermin. Status updates sync back automatically, so schedulers aren't playing phone tag with decision-makers. For companies using both internal and external approvers, this is a game-changer.
