Transform your change approval workflows with Zapier
Zapier helps you build faster, more reliable change approval workflow automation for IT and ITSM teams. Route approval requests, track approval status, and escalate stalled reviews—and that's just the start.
Approval routing
Route every change request to the right approver
Zapier automates approval routing for change requests based on request type, priority, or owner. Requests from Google Forms or ConnectWise Manage can post to Slack, create tracking pages in Notion, and reach the right reviewer instantly. That means fewer delays and clearer approval paths.
Smart approval routing
Send each change approval to the right reviewer based on risk, team, or request type. Slack messages, Notion records, and IT request details update together so routing stays clear.
Priority-based approvals
Route urgent change approval requests faster when high-impact conditions are met. Reviewers see the request sooner, and critical work does not wait in the queue.
Conditional reviewer assignment
Assign approvers automatically when request fields match predefined rules. That keeps workflow automation consistent across repeatable ITSM scenarios.
Form intake routing
Capture requests from Google Forms and push them into the right approval path immediately. Teams stop sorting submissions by hand and start review faster.
Cross-team review paths
Direct requests through multiple stakeholders when change approval depends on more than one team. Everyone gets involved in the right order, without extra coordination.
