ApproveThis manages your Remarkety Integration approvals.

When Email Marketing Meets Approval Chaos

Let's be real - most marketing teams using Remarkety aren't struggling with sending emails. The pain starts when you need human decisions: Should we approve this discount code? Who needs to review unsubscribe trends? Why is the compliance team ghosting our campaign requests?

ApproveThis acts like a traffic cop for these decisions. When connected to Remarkety through Zapier, it turns "Hey, can someone check this?" into automated workflows that actually get answered. We're talking about cutting approval delays from days to hours while keeping a clear audit trail - crucial for teams scaling up campaigns without scaling up headaches.

Why This Combo Works (Besides Not Being Clunky)

Remarkety handles the heavy lifting of email campaigns. ApproveThis handles the politics of getting multiple departments to actually make decisions. Together through Zapier, they solve three specific nightmares for growing companies:

1. No More "Who Approved This?"

Example: Your eCommerce team wants to send a VIP discount. Normally, this needs a marketing manager's sign-off, then finance verifies the discount terms. With ApproveThis connected to Remarkety:

• Campaign drafts in Remarkety trigger parallel approvals to both departments
• If finance rejects it, marketing gets notified instantly before the campaign goes live
• All decisions automatically log in ApproveThis - no more lost Slack threads

2. Compliance Doesn't Mean Slowdowns

Unsubscribe requests in Remarkety can't just collect dust. ApproveThis forces action:

• Every unsubscribe triggers an approval task for your compliance lead
• They review reason codes directly in email (no logins required)
• Denied reviews auto-flag in Remarkety for follow-up

Bonus: Approvers don't need Remarkety licenses. Perfect for external legal teams or auditors who just need to say "yes/no" without getting deep into your marketing stack.

3. Campaigns That Actually Follow The Money

Ever had a promo campaign approved, only to find out later it broke discount thresholds? ApproveThis adds guardrails:

Set auto-approval limits directly in your Remarkety workflows. Example:

→ Campaigns under 15% discount: Auto-approved
→ 15-25% off: Needs marketing director review
→ 25%+: Triggers emergency finance committee approval

This isn't just about control - it lets junior teams move fast on small stuff while keeping execs looped in on major plays.

Real-World Use Cases That Don't Suck

Use Case 1: Killing Unsubscribe Backlogs

Problem: Unsubscribes pile up in Remarkety. Compliance wants to review them, but marketing doesn't have time to export lists weekly.

Fix: Auto-create approval tasks in ApproveThis for every unsubscribe. Compliance reviews reasons (price complaints vs. spam flags) directly from their inbox. Approved requests auto-update Remarkety; denied ones flag for customer service follow-up.

Who Cares: Retailers scaling to 100k+ subscribers. Lets compliance teams spot trends (are we getting flagged as spam?) without manual data exports.

Use Case 2: Campaign Launches That Don't Require 17 Meetings

Problem: New product emails need legal, marketing, and inventory approvals. Chaos ensues.

Fix: Remarkety campaign drafts trigger a multi-step ApproveThis workflow:

1. Inventory checks stock levels
2. Legal verifies disclaimer text
3. Marketing approves final copy

Only when all three approve does Remarkety schedule the campaign. Bonus: Use calculated fields to auto-flag campaigns mentioning out-of-stock items.

Use Case 3: Escaping Discount Anarchy

Problem: Sales team keeps promising custom discounts that erode margins.

Fix: Connect Remarkety's signup forms to ApproveThis' thresholds. Any discount over 20% requires VP approval. Sales gets instant yes/no via email - no more waiting for accounting to respond.

Setup That Won't Make You Hate Tech

If you can use Remarkety, you can connect this. Here's the cheat sheet:

Basic Zap Structure

1. Trigger: Pick a Remarkety event (new unsubscribe, campaign draft, form submission)
2. Action: Create ApproveThis request with relevant data (customer email, discount %, etc.)
3. Magic: Approvers get email links to approve/deny. Results sync back to Remarkety automatically.

Pro Tips

- Use conditional logic to only escalate big issues. Example: Only require approvals for discounts over $500 or unsubscribes from high-value accounts.
- Set up vacation delegates so campaigns don't stall when approvers are OOO.
- Enable email-based approvals for external partners - they'll never have to login to your systems.

Why This Beats "Just Using Email"

Teams try to handle approvals through Gmail or Slack. Then this happens:

- Requests get buried in threads
- No clear audit trail for compliance
- Approvers forget to check tools they don't use daily

ApproveThis solves this by making approvals a first-class citizen in your Remarkety workflow. It's not another tool - it's the missing layer that makes your existing stack actually accountable.

Department-Specific Wins

For Marketing Teams

- Launch campaigns faster with parallel approvals
- Auto-archive approved content for compliance
- Prove you followed governance rules (no more post-campaign fire drills)

For Finance/Operations

- Enforce discount thresholds automatically
- Spot subscription risks from unsubscribe trends
- Stop being the bottleneck on minor requests

For Execs

- See real-time approval metrics across teams
- Delegate without losing control
- Reduce compliance risks from rogue campaigns

Cool Features You'll Actually Use

Beyond basic approvals, these matter for scaling:

Approval Thresholds

Set it once: "All cart abandonment emails under 15% off auto-approve." Saves 80% of manual reviews.

Dynamic Fields

Example: Auto-calculate customer lifetime value in approval requests. High LTV unsubscribe? Escalate immediately.

Cross-Team Delegation

Legal team swamped? Temporarily route approvals to compliance without changing Remarkety settings.

Getting Started (Without Overcommitting)

Best part? You don't need to overhaul existing Remarkety workflows. Start with one Zap:

1. Sign up for ApproveThis (free trial works)
2. Connect to Remarkety via Zapier (takes 8 minutes)
3. Pick one approval process to automate (unsubscribes are easy)
4. Let the team experience not chasing people for a week
5. Expand to other workflows once addicted

Or, book a 15-minute demo to see how other eCommerce teams set this up.

The Bottom Line

ApproveThis isn't another tool - it's how you make Remarkety work for complex teams without becoming a nag. Either you keep herding cats through email threads, or you build approval logic that respects everyone's time.
