Supercharge approvals with instant, customizable workflows and full auditability

Start Workflows Without Starting Anything

  • Custom Forms - Build approval forms your way. Pick from 150+ templates or generate one instantly with AI. Budgets, contracts, creative reviews, vendor requests—covered.
  • Smart Mailboxes - Trigger workflows straight from your inbox. Set up an address like [email protected] and incoming emails become approval requests automatically.
  • Email CC Approvals - Even simpler. CC [email protected] on any email to create a trackable request for everyone on the "To" line. No setup. No configuration. No friction.

Get Decisions in Minutes, Not Days

  • One-Click Response - Every approval lands in their inbox with Approve and Deny buttons right there. No portal. No password. No "let me find that link later."
  • Full Context, Embedded - Attached files, form data, images, even spreadsheets—previewed directly in the email. Approvers see everything they need without opening a single app.
  • Optional Security When It Matters - No login by default. Add PIN protection for sensitive workflows. Simple for routine requests, locked down when the stakes are higher.
  • Auto-Reminders That Actually Work - Stalled request? Automatic nudges go out on your schedule. Escalation rules kick in before bottlenecks become disasters.

The Right Person Sees It Every Time

  • Conditional Routing - Route requests based on amount, department, project type, or any field in your form. Over $10K? Goes to finance. Creative asset? Goes to brand. No manual forwarding required.
  • Approval Groups - Don't bottleneck on one person. Create a group—any member can respond. First available approver handles it, everyone else moves on.
  • Vacation Delegation - Out of office shouldn't mean out of luck. Approvers set their own delegates. Requests redirect automatically until they're back.
  • Calculated Fields - Build logic directly into your forms. Salesforce-style formulas determine thresholds, flag exceptions, and trigger the right path without human judgment calls.
The Right Person Sees It Every Time

Prove Who Approved What, Instantly

  • Timestamped Decisions - Every response captured with who, what, when, and why. Approver identity, decision, comments—all locked in automatically.
  • Complete Activity Log - See the full journey: when the request was created, which conditions triggered, how it routed, who saw it, who acted. Not just the decision—the whole story.
  • One-Click Export - Pull the audit trail to CSV or Excel instantly. Hand it to compliance, legal, or your future self during budget season.
  • Watchers - Need someone in the loop without cluttering the approval chain? Add watchers. They see everything, approve nothing.

Stop Retyping Invoice Data

  • AI Document Extraction - Upload a PDF invoice or receipt. AI pulls vendor name, amount, line items, dates—structured and ready to use. No templates to configure. No OCR headaches.
  • Smart Field Mapping - Extracted data drops directly into your approval form fields. Route based on amount, flag vendors, trigger conditional logic—all from the document itself.
  • Downstream Sync - Approved data flows to accounting, ERP, or anywhere else through Zapier, API, or webhooks. One approval, zero re-entry.
