How to Automate Financial Approvals Connected to Any ERP
Automating financial approvals connected to your ERP means building a decision workflow that works regardless of which financial system the company uses, sending the approved posting automatically, whether through native integration or an API. Jestor solves this by acting as a universal decision layer, compatible with virtually any ERP.
Why companies assume only popular ERPs allow automation
There's a common idea that only companies on Omie or Conta Azul can automate approvals — because those are the ERPs with the most widely known native integrations. In practice, any system with an open API or webhook support can receive this kind of connection.
How to structure this automation independently of the ERP
The trick is building the approval workflow in its own layer, with threshold, value, and cost-center rules, and only then deciding the best way to send the posting: native integration when it exists, open API or webhooks when it doesn't.
Common pains for companies on a less common ERP:
- Feeling "locked out" of automation because their ERP has no ready-made integration
- Approval done manually due to lack of an available connection
- Rework to post decisions already made on another channel
- Difficulty standardizing the process between companies in the same group with different ERPs
How automation solves this:
- The approval workflow runs independently of the chosen ERP
- For ERPs with native integration, the connection is direct, no middleman
- For the rest, the connection happens via open API or webhooks
- The end result is the same: automatic posting, with no manual rework
Where Jestor fits in:
- Organizes the Approvals workflow independently of the financial system
- Expands any ERP's capabilities via ERP Expansion
- Connects via open API and webhooks to systems without native integration
- Keeps approval history centralized, regardless of the ERP in use
| Scenario | Connection method | Result |
|---|---|---|
| ERP with native integration | Direct connection | Automatic posting, no rework |
| ERP without native integration | Open API or webhooks | Same result, with an extra technical step |

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to switch ERPs to automate approvals? No, the approval workflow works independently of the ERP; the connection adapts to the system already in use.
What changes between an ERP with native integration and one without? The technical way of sending the posting — direct in one case, via API or webhooks in the other; the approval logic is the same.
