By George 2 min read

No new tools to learn. No portals to log into. Just CC us, and ApproveThis takes care of the rest.

With CC Approvals, you can turn any email into a tracked approval request — just by CC’ing approvals@approvethis.com.

  • Everyone on the To line becomes an approver
  • They receive a clean, structured approval request (instead of a messy thread)
  • You get clear responses — approve or reject — without chasing anyone

It works with the email habits you already have. No extra steps, no new software to learn.

Two Ways to Use It

Free & Simple

  • CC approvals@approvethis.com
  • Requests go out instantly
  • Perfect for ad hoc or one-off approvals
  • No account or plan required
  • You're notified when each request is complete.

CC Approvals vs. Mailbox Approvals

Tracked in Your Dashboard

  • CC approvals@yourdomain.approvethis.com
  • Requests are logged in ApproveThis
  • Approvers = whoever’s on the To line
  • Change approvers on the fly by editing the To line

Both are email-powered — but built for different needs:

  • Mailbox Approvals → Fixed workflows. Send to vacation-request@yourdomain.approvethis.com and the request always follows the same approval path. Perfect for structured, repeatable processes.
  • CC Approvals → Flexible workflows. Always CC approvals@approvethis.com (or your custom domain). Approvers are defined by the To line each time. Perfect for dynamic, ad hoc approvals.

👉 Mailbox Approvals = consistency.
👉 CC Approvals = flexibility.

Together, they cover every approval workflow your business runs.

Benefits

✅ No logins or new tools — just email
✅ Works with Gmail, Outlook, and mobile
