1.Catches approval payload
Integrate Webhooks by Zapier and parsing tools to map PO references, approver names, and creator summaries into the workflow.
Send PO approval emails to purchasing and project teams
Automatically capture incoming approval payloads across Webhooks by Zapier and Microsoft Outlook. Get instant approval emails when approval payloads arrive, approvals are flagged as approved, or PO references match—so you can notify purchasing teams, inform project leads, and share next steps without manual follow-up.
How this automation accelerates PO approvals
When an approval payload arrives but no one emails the right teams, ordering can stall and deadlines slip. This automation receives the payload, filters to approved POs, and sends approval emails with PO reference and next steps—so your team can act faster.

Without Zapier, we would have needed well over 100 employees today just to do what we're doing. We would have been out of business by now.
David Laderberg, VP of Sales
Without having automation, we would have to at least be double our size. Doubling is a bit of a euphemism — I think we would have died or fallen back into oblivion.
Marcelo Lebre, Co-Founder
Zapier hilft uns, weit über 50% mehr Deals abzuschließen, als wir es ohne Zapier tun würden. Es ist ein Schlüsselelement unserer Gesamtstrategie und somit auch unseres Verkaufsarguments.
