ApproveThis manages your Typefully Integration approvals.

Integration Category: Social
Let's be real: getting tweets approved feels like herding cats through a spreadsheet. Between legal nitpicking, last-minute edits, and chasing down MIA managers, your killer content gets stuck in purgatory. That's why pairing ApproveThis's no-BS approval engine with Typefully's slick Twitter toolkit is like giving your team a content jetpack. We're talking fewer Slack pings, zero "per my last email" follow-ups, and actual visibility into who's holding up the show.
Why This Combo Doesn't Suck
Typefully nails the content creation part - threads, scheduling, analytics. But when you need three signatures from people who still think "DM" means Dungeon Master, that's where things get sticky. ApproveThis handles the bureaucratic heavy lifting so your social team isn't playing corporate babysitter.
Here's the kicker: approvers don't need Typefully licenses. Legal can stay in their email inboxes, your client's CMO doesn't need another login, and finance won't bug you about SaaS spend. Everyone approves or rejects directly from their inbox, while your team tracks everything in ApproveThis like air traffic controllers.
Real-World Uses That Aren't Fluff
1. The "Why Was This Tweet Even Published?" Fire Drill
Your community manager schedules a spicy take in Typefully. Two hours later, PR's blowing up your phone because it's ratio city. Classic.
The Fix: Auto-create ApproveThis requests whenever drafts get scheduled. Set rules like:
- Any tweet mentioning competitors → needs legal + CMO sign-off
- Promo codes over 20% off → requires finance approval
ApproveThis slaps a big "HOLD" on Typefully until all thumbs are up. Crisis averted, reputation intact.
2. The Client Approval Black Hole
Agency teams know the drill: clients take 4 days to reply "make the logo bigger", then demand same-day turnaround. With ApproveThis + Typefully:
Draft in Typefully → auto-send to client's legal & marketing leads via ApproveThis → they approve/request changes via email → revisions auto-sync. No more screenshots in Slack or chasing expired Google Doc links.
3. The Compliance Tango
Healthcare, finance, or publicly traded companies? Every tweet's a compliance minefield. Route all Typefully drafts through ApproveThis with:
- Mandatory 2-person approvals for regulated industries
- Automatic escalation if not approved in 12 hours
- Full audit trails showing who approved what (and when)
Setting This Up Without Losing Your Mind
If you can make a sandwich, you can connect these tools via Zapier:
1. Pick your trigger: New Typefully draft? Scheduled post? Published thread?
2. Build approval rules: Who needs to sign off? Any auto-approve thresholds?
3. Connect the dots: Approved tweets auto-publish. Rejected ones get flagged in Slack.
Pro tip: Use ApproveThis' calculated fields to auto-flag tweets with $$$ figures or specific keywords for extra scrutiny. No more manually checking every post.
Who Actually Benefits (Besides Your Sanity)
Marketing Teams
Stop being the approval middleman. Your creatives stay in Typefully building fire content while ApproveThis handles the corporate red tape. Real-world example: A 200-person cybersecurity company cut their tweet approval time from 3 days to 4 hours by auto-routing posts to product and legal leads.
Compliance Officers
Sleep better knowing every tweet with "ROI" or "guaranteed" gets auto-flagged for review. Set up approval chains that mirror your org chart - regional managers for local accounts, product leads for feature announcements.
Agencies
Client approvals via email (no logins) with version tracking. Show them exactly which draft they approved, when, and what changed. Billable hours saved: priceless.
Bonus Features You'll Actually Use
Vacation Delegation: Karen from legal is OOO? Approvals auto-reassign to her backup. No more "Waiting on Karen" holds.
Threshold Rules: Auto-approve posts under $100 discounts. Only escalate big spend.
Approval Groups: Need 3/5 marketing leads to approve? Done. Sequential approvals for strict hierarchies? Easy.
This Isn't Another "Collaboration Solution"
Most tools promise efficiency but add more steps. This combo works because:
- Approvers stay in their comfort zone (email)
- Creators keep their workflow (Typefully)
- You get paper trails without herding people into yet another app
It's not sexy, but neither are seatbelts. Until you need one.
