Why Combine ApproveThis and Adrapid?
When speed and precision matter in digital advertising, the partnership between ApproveThis and Adrapid delivers results. ApproveThis cuts through approval bottlenecks with structured workflows, while Adrapid empowers teams to create polished banners faster than ever. Together, they turn campaign planning into a well-oiled machine – creative teams build assets without delay, stakeholders review work on their terms, and campaigns launch with confidence.
Marketing teams lose days tracking down approvals through messy email chains. Legal gets looped in too late. Version control becomes a nightmare. This integration fixes those cracks in the process. Every banner follows a predefined approval path, decision-makers get context directly in their inbox, and rejected designs route back to creators instantly. The result? Campaigns move forward faster, with fewer errors and less frustration.
Three Ways This Integration Transforms Campaign Workflows
1. From Final Draft to Client Approval in One Click
When a designer marks a banner "ready" in Adrapid, ApproveThis automatically generates an approval request with all necessary context – preview images, specs, even target audience details. Stakeholders review and sign off directly from email, no logins required. For agencies, this means clients can't lose track of requests in crowded inboxes. Internal teams benefit too – product managers review campaign assets alongside launch timelines in their existing tools.
Example: A healthcare marketing agency uses this flow to get HIPAA-compliant banner approvals. Legal teams receive preformatted checklists within each request, while clients see mobile-friendly previews. Revisions drop automatically into Adrapid projects, eliminating version mixups.
2. Launch Campaigns Only After Full Authorization
ApproveThis doesn't just manage approvals – it enforces process integrity. Set rules requiring CMO sign-off on budgets over $50K, or automatically escalate delayed requests. When combined with Adrapid's production capabilities, you ensure no banner goes live without proper authorization. Finance teams gain visibility into campaign costs early, while creative leads maintain quality control across regions.
Example: A retail company launching holiday campaigns routes seasonal banners through regional managers first. ApproveThis' geo-based workflows ensure French-Canadian assets get bilingual reviews before global HQ finalizes. All decisions sync back to Adrapid, tagging approved assets for easy retrieval.
3. Automate Post-Approval Actions Without Coding
Approved banners automatically publish to ad networks via Zapier. Rejected designs trigger Slack alerts to creative teams with revision notes attached. ApproveThis' real-time tracking feeds status updates into project management tools – PMs see campaign readiness at a glance without chasing emails.
Example: An e-commerce brand ties banner approvals to Black Friday schedules. Once approved, Adrapid assets push to Google Ads and Meta automatically. If legal rejects a claim, the workflow notifies both designers and media buyers instantly, preventing misplaced ad spend.
Key Features That Make This Integration Work
ApproveThis brings essential governance to Adrapid's creative power. Approval thresholds prevent budget overages by auto-approving small changes but flagging major redesigns. Vacation delegation keeps campaigns moving – if a brand manager is OOO, their deputy gets instant access to pending requests. Calculated fields add smart logic, like requiring extra sign-offs when campaign costs exceed projected ROI.
Adrapid users gain an invisible safety net. Every action – from initial brief to final export – follows company protocols without creative teams playing process cop. Designers stay in their flow state, while approvers get clean, mobile-friendly requests that take seconds to resolve.
Setup Made Simple
Connecting Adrapid and ApproveThis takes under 15 minutes using Zapier. Start by creating a Zapier account if you don't have one. In Zapier, choose Adrapid as your trigger app and select the "New Banner Ready" event. Connect your Adrapid account using API credentials from the developer settings. Test the connection by retrieving a recent banner.
Next, set ApproveThis as your action app. Choose "Create Approval Request" and map Adrapid's banner details to ApproveThis fields – preview URLs, project IDs, and revision notes work well here. Set approval rules directly in ApproveThis, like requiring CMO sign-off for campaigns over $10K. Publish the Zap and trigger a test request to confirm stakeholders receive properly formatted approvals.
For advanced users: Add a Filter step to route high-priority campaigns to different approvers, or use Delay to respect team working hours. Connect both apps through Zapier for maximum flexibility.
Who Benefits Most from This Integration?
Marketing Teams
Reduce campaign launch cycles by 40%+ with parallelized reviews. Legal and compliance teams get involved at the right stage, not as last-minute blockers. Global teams appreciate timezone-friendly email approvals that keep work moving 24/7.
Creative Agencies
Provide clients with branded approval portals at no extra cost. Since ApproveThis doesn't require external users to have Adrapid licenses, you can involve clients and contractors without bloating your software budget.
Enterprise Security Teams
Maintain strict control over branded assets without micromanaging creatives. Approval logs prove compliance with regulatory requirements, while audit trails show exactly who approved each campaign element.
Common Pitfalls to Avoid
Don't overload approvers with unnecessary data – map only essential Adrapid fields into approval requests. Do set up escalation rules in ApproveThis for time-sensitive campaigns. Avoid using vague rejection reasons – customize ApproveThis' denial options to match your team's common feedback points.
Remember: This integration handles approval logistics, not creative strategy. Keep human oversight for high-stakes campaigns while automating routine sign-offs. Use ApproveThis' reporting to identify bottlenecks – if Legal consistently delays approvals, revise your workflow to engage them earlier in Adrapid's process.
