Two Platforms, One Competitive Edge
Modern businesses face a critical challenge: closing deals fast enough while maintaining rigorous oversight. SetSmart's AI-powered lead engagement excels at starting conversations, while ApproveThis ensures those opportunities get reviewed and approved at enterprise-grade speed. Through Zapier, these platforms create a closed-loop system where sales automation meets airtight governance.
Consider the math: A marketing agency using SetSmart books 50 discovery calls per month. Without approval controls, 15% of those leads might be unqualified or misrouted. With integrated approval workflows, they could reclaim 7.5 sales hours monthly while improving lead quality. This combination turns sales velocity into a measurable asset rather than a compliance risk.
Where Automation Meets Accountability
SetSmart specializes in AI-driven lead engagement - booking calls, qualifying prospects, and generating personalized content. ApproveThis adds a decision-making layer that works like a quality control checkpoint. Together, they ensure every automated action aligns with your business rules before progressing.
Key integration advantages:
- Approvers only need ApproveThis access (no extra SetSmart seats required)
- Conditional approvals adapt to lead scores or deal sizes
- Real-time audit trails for sales compliance needs
Three Workflows That Redefine Efficiency
1. Instant Lead Onboarding with Built-In Approvals
When a new high-value lead comes through SetSmart, ApproveThis can automatically trigger:
Example: A commercial real estate firm sets approval thresholds - any lead requesting properties over $2M gets auto-routed to senior brokers. Junior agents handle smaller deals without bottlenecking the process. ApproveThis' calculated fields assess lead budget data from SetSmart to determine routing.
2. AI Content Governance
SetSmart's AI-generated resumes and proposals become exponentially more powerful when paired with human oversight. Marketing teams can configure approval chains where:
Implementation: A recruiting agency auto-generates candidate profiles in SetSmart. ApproveThis routes them to both the hiring manager (for skills review) and legal (for compliance checks) simultaneously. Only doubly-approved candidates proceed to interviews.
3. Approval-Triggered Sales Actions
Reverse the workflow - use approved requests in ApproveThis to kick off SetSmart sequences. Financial advisors could approve investment proposals through ApproveThis, triggering SetSmart to automatically book client briefings with approved meeting scripts.
Technical Setup Made Simple
Connecting via Zapier takes under 15 minutes:
- Create Zapier account (free tier works)
- Choose SetSmart as trigger app
- Select ApproveThis as action app
- Map data fields between platforms
Critical pro tip: Use ApproveThis' calculated fields to auto-set priority levels based on SetSmart lead scores. This enables intelligent routing without manual input.
Department-Specific Benefits
Sales Teams
Reduce quote approval delays that kill deals. A manufacturing rep could configure automatic approvals for repeat orders under $50k using historical SetSmart client data, while escalating new account requests.
HR & Talent Acquisition
Coordinate hiring manager approvals with candidate outreach. ApproveThis' vacation delegation ensures interview scheduling continues uninterrupted during approver PTO.
Operations
Embed procurement approvals directly into SetSmart's vendor management workflows. Receive alerts when supplier contracts need renewal approvals based on SetSmart's timeline tracking.
Why This Integration Beats Manual Processes
Traditional sales approvals create friction:
- Days-long email chains to authorize discounts
- Missed opportunities from approver inbox overload
- No centralized record of sales-related decisions
The integrated solution eliminates these through:
- Email/Mobile approvals synced to SetSmart records
- Auto-escalation if approvers don't respond
- Real-time dashboards showing approval bottlenecks
Getting Started
Begin with low-risk, high-impact workflows:
1. Discount Approvals: Route SetSmart leads requesting over 15% discount to regional sales directors
2. Content Syndication: Approve AI-generated case studies before sending to prospects
3. Contract Reviews: Auto-create approval tasks when SetSmart detects renewed client contracts
ApproveThis' free trial and SetSmart's tiered pricing let teams test integrations without upfront investment. The real ROI comes from compressing decision cycles - early adopters report 40% faster sales approvals compared to manual methods.
The Future of Governed Automation
As AI handles more front-line interactions, approval workflows become the essential bridge between automation and human judgment. This integration doesn't just save time - it makes your sales engine auditable, adaptable, and aligned across teams.
