When Approval Meets Automation
Let’s get real: nothing kills momentum like waiting for someone to hit “approve” on a banner ad. Marketing teams live in a world where speed matters, but so does consistency. That’s where pairing ApproveThis (your approval sheriff) with Abyssale (your design robot army) through Zapier turns into a cheat code for scaling content without the bottlenecks.
ApproveThis handles the “who said yes” part – routing requests, chasing down signatures, and keeping everyone honest. Abyssale cranks out on-brand visuals faster than your intern can make coffee. Together? You get a system where designs get built, approved, and shipped without the usual email ping-pong.
The Unlikely Duo: What Each Tool Brings
ApproveThis Plays Traffic Cop
Think of ApproveThis as your process enforcer. It’s built for companies where every request needs eyes from legal, finance, or that one manager who’s always on vacation. Custom workflows mean you can route a $500 social ad differently than a $50,000 product launch. Key features like email approvals and automatic escalations keep things moving even when Bob from compliance “forgets” to check his inbox.
Abyssale is Your Design Factory
Abyssale isn’t Photoshop. It’s for teams pumping out hundreds of variations – think localized ads, seasonal promotions, or A/B test versions. Upload a template once, feed it a spreadsheet, and watch it spit out banners sized for every platform from TikTok to Times Square billboards. The catch? Someone needs to check these before they go live. Hence, our friend ApproveThis.
Four Ways This Combo Saves Your Sanity
1. Auto-Flag New Designs for Review
Here’s the classic headache: Your designer exports 200 holiday banners from Abyssale. Now they’re sitting in a folder, unapproved, while marketing twiddles their thumbs. With the integration:
- Abyssale finishes an export → Zapier pings ApproveThis
- ApproveThis creates a task for your brand team
- Approvers get an email with previews + one-click approve/deny
Who cares: E-commerce teams running flash sales. No more “Why is the 50% off banner live before procurement approved the inventory burn?”
2. Approval to Production in One Click
Flip the script: Sometimes you need approval before creating assets. Imagine your product team requests a new feature explainer video. The workflow:
- ApproveThis gets the request → Requires VP sign-off
- Once approved → Zapier triggers Abyssale to generate 15s/30s/60s video cuts
- Videos auto-upload to your DAM
Real-world use: Healthcare companies needing legal review on claims before any visual content gets produced. Compliance first, creativity second.
3. Kill Multi-Platform Approval Logjams
Social media managers know this pain: You need 10 versions of a post (Stories, Reels, carousels). But getting each format approved individually? Nightmare. The fix:
Abyssale generates all variants → ApproveThis bundles them into a single request where stakeholders can:
- Approve all
- Reject specific formats
- Request edits on just the Instagram version
Who wins: Franchise businesses. Local shops get custom promotions, but corporate keeps brand control without micromanaging every store’s Facebook posts.
4. Budget Approvals That Actually Prevent Overspending
Here’s where ApproveThis’ calculated fields shine. Say your campaign has a $20k budget. The integration can:
- Auto-check project cost in Abyssale against remaining budget
- Route approvals based on amount:
• Under $1k → Team lead only
• $1k-$5k → Finance review
• Over $5k → CFO sign-off
Perfect for: Agencies tracking multiple client budgets. No more “Oops, we spent 200% on display ads because the junior designer didn’t know the limit.”
Why Your Team Leads Will Love This
For Marketing Ops:
Track every banner, video, and social post through approval → production → analytics. Show ROI on review cycles – prove that cutting approval time from 5 days to 2 hours boosted Q3 conversions.
For Legal/Compliance:
All requests live in ApproveThis’ audit trail. When regulators ask “Who approved this claim?” – you’ve got timestamps, comments, and versions. Plus, vacation delegation means no holding up launches because counsel is out.
For External Partners:
Client needs to approve designs? They get email links – no ApproveThis login required. No more “I can’t access the portal” excuses. Plus, their feedback stays organized, not buried in Slack threads.
Setting This Up Without Losing Your Mind
Zapier’s the glue here. You’ll:
- Connect Abyssale and ApproveThis to Zapier (5 minutes)
- Pick triggers:
- “New export in Abyssale” → Create approval request
- “Approval completed in ApproveThis” → Generate videos in Abyssale - Test with one asset – make sure your brand manager gets the approval email
Pro tip: Use ApproveThis’ approval thresholds to auto-approve small edits (like typos) but flag budget changes. Saves 40% of review time from our data.
Bottom Line: Approval Shouldn’t Be a Chokepoint
When you treat approvals as part of the creative process – not a gatekeeper – magic happens. Campaigns ship faster. Designers aren’t stuck redoing work because someone changed their mind post-launch. And you? You get to be the hero who eliminated “waiting on approvals” from every status meeting.
