When Grassroots Meets Governance
Let's get real - managing digital campaigns is like herding cats with megaphones. Between petition drives, legislative tracking, and coordinating outreach through Ujoin.co, your team's approval processes probably look like a game of broken telephone crossed with a deadline countdown. Enter ApproveThis. When connected through Zapier, these two platforms turn chaotic campaign management into a well-oiled machine.
Why This Combo Doesn't Suck
Ujoin.co helps organizations mobilize supporters through petitions and action pages. ApproveThis handles the bureaucratic ballet of getting decisions made. Together via Zapier, they:
- Auto-create approval tasks when petitions hit critical mass
- Route legal reviews for campaign messaging without email chains
Best part? Your external partners or board members can approve/reject requests directly from their inboxes - no need for Ujoin.co licenses. Try that with your current setup.
Real-World Voodoo
A regional environmental group uses this integration to escalate urgent petitions. When their "Stop the Pipeline" Ujoin campaign hits 5k signatures:
1. Zapier triggers an ApproveThis request to legal
2. General counsel reviews liability risks in ApproveThis
3. Auto-publishes approved petitions to local media portals
What used to take 3 days now happens before the interns finish their cold brew.
Your Competition's Worst Nightmare
While Ujoin.co tracks supporter data and ApproveThis manages approvals, the magic happens in the gaps:
Threshold Triggers: Auto-approve routine campaign updates under $2k budget, but escalate anything mentioning elected officials to your compliance team. Because nobody wants a surprise subpoena.
Delegation Without Desperation: When your comms director takes PTO, ApproveThis automatically reroutes approval requests to their deputy. No more chasing people through their out-of-office replies.
Setup That Doesn't Require a PhD
1. Connect your Zapier account
2. Choose Ujoin.co's "New User Data" trigger
3. Map petition details to ApproveThis fields
4. Set approval rules (consensus vs. hierarchical)
5. Test with a live campaign
Pro tip: Use ApproveThis' calculated fields to auto-flag petitions needing legal review based on keywords like "legislation" or "endorsement."
Who Actually Cares?
Advocacy Teams: Get policy position approvals before petitions go viral. Because explaining meme-based legislation to your board sucks.
Development Directors: Automate donor thank-you message approvals. More time to actually fundraise.
Legal Departments: Review campaign language in context, not through 12-forwarded emails missing attachments.
The Unsexy Stuff That Matters
While your team celebrates faster approvals, your CFO will geek out over:
- No per-approver fees for external partners
- Audit trails showing who approved that questionable hashtag
- Reduced campaign launch delays (which means lower vendor rush fees)
Don't Be That Organization
You know the one - still using shared Google Sheets labeled "APPROVAL PENDING (DO NOT EDIT!!)". The combo of Ujoin.co and ApproveThis through Zapier gives you:
- Real-time tracking of both campaign metrics AND decision status
- Mobile approvals for executives who think laptops are heavy
- Automatic version control (RIP "Final_Final_v3_Really.docx")
Beyond Petitions
While we've focused on Ujoin.co's petition features, this integration also handles:
- Legislative bill tracking approvals
- Outreach message compliance checks
- Partner organization co-branding requests
- Crisis comms escalation protocols
The Bottom Line
In the 2.3 minutes it took you to read this article, ApproveThis could've processed 14 campaign approvals automatically. Every delayed decision on digital campaigns costs you supporter momentum and makes your team look like amateurs.
Here's your play:
1. Start an ApproveThis trial
2. Connect your Ujoin.co account via Zapier
3. Set up one approval workflow
4. Watch your team actually take lunch breaks
Or keep doing things manually and hope your next viral campaign isn't held up because someone forgot to check their approval emails. Your call.
