ApproveThis manages your Teamgate Integration approvals.

Two Platforms, One Competitive Edge

When sales teams use Teamgate CRM to manage pipelines and ApproveThis to handle approvals, they create a decision-making engine that drives revenue faster. This integration eliminates bottlenecks in deal progression by automating handoffs between customer relationship management and approval workflows. Marketing agencies, SaaS companies, and manufacturing firms alike benefit from combining Teamgate's deal-centric tracking with ApproveThis' structured governance.

Consider this: 42% of sales reps say internal delays cost them deals (CSO Insights). By connecting Teamgate's real-time sales data with ApproveThis' approval automation through Zapier, organizations reduce decision latency while maintaining oversight. Approvers don't need Teamgate licenses - external partners or finance teams can review deals directly via email while your CRM stays updated automatically.

How It Works: Approval Automation Meets Sales Intelligence

Teamgate excels at tracking lead interactions and deal stages, while ApproveThis specializes in routing requests to the right people under predefined rules. Together through Zapier, they enable scenarios like:

Automated Deal Desk Approvals

When a Teamgate deal reaches "Contract Review" stage, ApproveThis instantly routes it to legal and finance teams with calculated discount thresholds. A medical device manufacturer uses this to enforce compliance checks before finalizing distributor agreements.

Client-Approved Campaign Launches

Marketing agencies trigger ApproveThis workflows when Teamgate shows a client lead moving to "Proposal Accepted." Creative teams receive automatic brief approvals from external clients via email, with approved assets pushed back into Teamgate notes.

Five Use Cases That Transform Sales Operations

1. Governance for High-Stakes Deal Changes

When sales reps modify discount percentages or payment terms in Teamgate, ApproveThis requires manager approval before updates apply. Conditional logic ensures only changes exceeding 15% discount trigger reviews. A cloud services provider reduced revenue leakage by 23% implementing this guardrail.

2. Streamlined Client Onboarding

New Teamgate deals marked "Closed-Won" generate ApproveThis requests to provision client accounts. Approval groups coordinate between sales, IT, and customer success teams with sequential sign-offs. One B2B SaaS company cut onboarding time from 5 days to 12 hours using this method.

3. Compliant Lead Handoffs

Marketing-qualified leads in Teamgate requiring sales acceptance now route through ApproveThis for territory assignment approvals. Calculated fields prioritize leads based on deal size and region match. A cybersecurity firm using this process improved lead acceptance rates by 40%.

4. Audit-Ready Contract Management

Every Teamgate activity status change on contracts (renewals, amendments) creates an ApproveThis audit trail. Legal teams receive email-based approvals with version comparisons. Life sciences companies use this to maintain FDA-compliant records.

5. Accelerated Partner Commissions

Approved Teamgate deals marked "Won" trigger ApproveThis payout workflows. Channel managers validate partner eligibility, while finance teams confirm payment details through parallel approval paths. A hardware manufacturer reduced commission processing from 14 days to 48 hours.

Setting Up Your Integration

Connect Teamgate and ApproveThis in 15 minutes:

1. Create a Zapier account
2. Choose a trigger event from Teamgate (e.g., "Deal Status Changed")
3. Select ApproveThis as the action app
4. Map Teamgate fields to ApproveThis request templates
5. Test with a sample deal

Pro Tip: Use ApproveThis' Calculated Fields to auto-approve small discount changes while flagging exceptions. Combine with Teamgate's deal scoring to prioritize urgent reviews.

Team-Specific Benefits

Sales Teams

Reps close deals faster with automatic approval routing instead of chasing stakeholders. Vacation delegation ensures backup approvers handle requests during PTO periods.

Operations

Monitor approval SLAs through ApproveThis dashboards while maintaining Teamgate as the single source of truth. Real-time tracking prevents deals from stalling in legal review.

Finance

Approve payment terms or discounts directly from email without Teamgate access. Approval thresholds auto-reject non-compliant requests, reducing manual vetting.

Why This Integration Outperforms Manual Processes

Traditional sales approvals create version control issues when contract details change during review cycles. By connecting Teamgate's activity history with ApproveThis' decision records, organizations maintain alignment between CRM data and approval artifacts.

A construction materials supplier eliminated $380K in annual revenue disputes using the integration's audit trails. Sales directors now resolve commission conflicts in hours instead of weeks by cross-referencing Teamgate deal timelines with ApproveThis approval stamps.
