ApproveThis manages your elink Integration approvals.

Why Force Your Content Through Hoops?

Let’s cut to the chase: approvals suck. Not the concept – the execution. When your team shares content via elink (newsletters, embeds, bookmarks), you’re dealing with multiple stakeholders, last-minute edits, and that one exec who only reviews things from their golf cart. ApproveThis fixes this by adding guardrails – not speed bumps – to your elink workflows.

Here’s the deal: ApproveThis doesn’t just “integrate” with elink. It acts like a bouncer for your content distribution. Every time someone shares an embed, newsletter, or link in elink, ApproveThis automatically routes it to the right people. No more CC’ing half the company or playing Slack tag. The best part? Approvers don’t need elink licenses. Clients, contractors, or that golf cart exec can review via email without logging into another platform.

Three Ways This Combo Saves Your Sanity

1. Kill Content Free-for-Alls

Marketing teams love elink’s sharing options – until the legal team finds an unapproved claim in a newsletter. Connect both apps via Zapier, and every new elink post (embeds, links, newsletters) triggers an approval request. Example: A SaaS company auto-routes all feature update newsletters through product, support, and legal teams before hitting customer inboxes.

2. Stop Being a Human Router

HR uses elink to share policy updates? Great – until you’re manually chasing department heads for sign-off. Set up sequential approvals in ApproveThis where each approver gets the request only after the previous one signs off. The compliance team goes first, then regional managers, then comms. No more “I thought Karen handled it” emails.

3. Fix Your Approval Paper Trail

Agencies: When clients approve elink content via ApproveThis, every decision gets logged with timestamps and comments. No more “That color was definitely blue before!” debates. Plus, use elink’s bookmarking to create an audit-ready archive of approved content versions.

Real-World Workflows That Don’t Feel Like Work

Client Approvals Without the Panic

Digital agencies: When your team builds a client newsletter in elink, ApproveThis automatically sends it to the client’s CMO and legal rep. They click approve/reject in email – no logins. If they take longer than 48 hours, ApproveThis escalates to their VP. Meanwhile, your team isn’t stuck in limbo.

Compliance Made Less Annoying

Financial services firms: Any elink post with “ROI” or “guarantee” triggers a mandatory legal review in ApproveThis. Set thresholds – posts under $10K marketing spend auto-approve, others need CFO sign-off. Vacation delegation ensures someone’s always available to review, even during holidays.

Turn Stakeholders Into Allies

Nonprofits: Board members get ApproveThis emails for elink campaign posts with pre-filled options: “Approve,” “Request Edits,” or “Schedule Discussion.” Calculated fields show estimated audience reach, automating those “Is this worth our time?” debates.

Setup That Takes Less Time Than Your Daily Standup

1. In Zapier, create a new Zap
2. Trigger: Choose elink (post shared as embed, link, or newsletter)
3. Action: Select ApproveThis “Create Request”
4. Map elink content to ApproveThis fields (title, link, notes)
5. Test with an elink post – check if ApproveThis generates the request
6. Activate

Pro Tip: Use ApproveThis’ calculated fields to auto-flag elink posts with specific keywords for extra reviews. Example: Any newsletter containing “limited time offer” pings both legal and inventory teams.

Who Actually Benefits From This?

Marketing Teams

Stop being the middleman between design, legal, and execs. Elink posts go live faster when approvals happen parallel to other tasks. Real-time tracking shows who’s sitting on requests – no awkward follow-ups.

HR & Internal Comms

New benefits package? Use elink to build the page, ApproveThis to route it through benefits admins, department heads, and the CEO. Approval groups ensure at least 2/3 leads sign off before company-wide emails.

Operations Leaders

Track how long approvals take across departments. Notice legal bottlenecks every Q4? Adjust workflows or add backup approvers. Export reports to justify headcount needs during budget season.

But Wait – There’s Actual Features Too

ApproveThis isn’t just a fancy CC button. When combined with elink:

• Email approvals let clients review elink content on mobile without 17 logins
• Thresholds auto-approve routine posts (blog shares) but flag high-stakes ones (earnings reports)
• Vacation rules keep approvals moving when approvers are OOO

elink gets better too – approved content can be bookmarked into categorized lists (e.g., “Q3 Approved Social Posts”) for easy reuse.

The Bottom Line: Approval Isn’t the Enemy

Bad processes are. Using ApproveThis with elink means:

• No more “Sorry, we need to reschedule the launch” emails
• Clients can’t ghost you on feedback
• You finally get credit for preventing disasters

It’s about making approvals suck less – not adding bureaucracy. The combo works because it respects everyone’s time: creators keep using elink’s slick editor, approvers don’t learn new tools, and you look like a wizard.

Ready to Stop Herding Cats?

If your content process involves more spreadsheets than actual creativity, it’s time. Register for ApproveThis, connect it to elink via Zapier, and set up your first workflow in under 20 minutes. Or, book a demo to see how approval automation actually works when built for humans.

P.S. If you’re still manually forwarding elink posts for reviews, we’re not judging. But your interns probably are.
