Two Platforms, One Goal: Smarter Workflows

When marketing teams move fast, approvals shouldn’t slow them down. ApproveThis and Carrot quest solve two critical challenges: streamlining decision-making (ApproveThis) and driving customer engagement (Carrot quest). Together, they create a feedback loop where approvals trigger actions and events trigger reviews—keeping campaigns agile and compliant.

By connecting these platforms via Zapier, businesses eliminate manual handoffs between systems. Marketing teams gain real-time visibility into campaign approvals, while approvers can greenlight initiatives directly from their inbox—no logins required. For companies using Carrot quest’s interactive events or gamification tools, this integration ensures every customer-facing action aligns with internal guidelines.

What Each Platform Does

ApproveThis: Decision Automation, Simplified

ApproveThis cuts approval delays with customizable workflows. Whether you’re reviewing campaign budgets, content drafts, or partnership agreements, it routes requests to the right people based on rules you set. Key features like approval thresholds (auto-approve expenses under $500) and vacation delegation keep processes moving even when stakeholders are unavailable.

Carrot quest: Engagement That Converts

Carrot quest turns passive audiences into active participants. Its event-driven tools let marketers create quizzes, loyalty programs, or timed offers that respond to user behavior. For example, a retail brand might trigger a discount pop-up when users browse a product page twice—but only after the promotion is approved.

Why This Integration Changes the Game

Marketing thrives on speed and compliance. Consider a SaaS company launching a limited-time offer:

  • Without integration: The marketing team drafts the campaign, waits days for legal/finance approval via email threads, then manually uploads the offer to Carrot quest.
  • With integration: A Zap automatically creates an ApproveThis request when the Carrot quest event is drafted. Once approved, the event goes live instantly—with properties updated to reflect approval timestamps.

This isn’t just faster—it’s auditable. Every approval and event change syncs between systems, creating a paper trail for compliance reports.

Real-World Use Cases

1. Event-Driven Approvals for Agile Campaigns

Template: "Create approval requests for new events"

A travel agency uses Carrot quest to push flash sales. Previously, legal teams missed reviewing 20% of promotions due to inbox clutter. Now, every new sale event in Carrot quest triggers an ApproveThis request. Legal approves via email, and only approved sales go live. Result: 100% compliance with zero delays.

2. Approval Tracking in Customer Journeys

Template: "Create events for new approval workflows"

A B2B software company routes contract approvals through ApproveThis. Each approved deal triggers a Carrot quest event, starting an onboarding sequence. Sales reps see real-time updates: when legal approves, the client gets a welcome email. This shaves 3 days off their onboarding cycle.

3. Dynamic Event Updates Post-Approval

Template: "Update event properties on approval decision"

An e-commerce brand runs user-generated content contests via Carrot quest. When a participant submits content, ApproveThis routes it to moderators. Once approved, Zapier updates the Carrot quest event properties to display the entry publicly. Rejected submissions trigger polite decline emails—all without manual steps.

Setting Up the Integration

Time: 12 minutes | Tools Needed: ApproveThis account, Carrot quest account, Zapier login

  1. In Zapier, create a new Zap.
  2. Choose Carrot quest as the trigger app (e.g., "New Event").
  3. Select ApproveThis as the action app ("Create Request").
  4. Map Carrot quest event fields (campaign name, budget) to ApproveThis request fields.
  5. Test with a real event and approval to confirm data flows correctly.

Pro Tip: Use ApproveThis’ calculated fields to auto-flag high-budget campaigns for CFO review. If a Carrot quest event includes a $50K budget field, route it differently than a $5K promo.

Team-Specific Benefits

Marketing Teams: Launch Faster, Track Better

No more "Is this approved?" slack threads. When Carrot quest events depend on ApproveThis decisions, marketers see real-time statuses. If a campaign is denied, they’re alerted instantly—not after wasting hours on execution.

Operations: Audit-Ready Processes

Approval records in ApproveThis sync with Carrot quest event logs. During audits, ops teams can trace exactly when a campaign was approved, by whom, and which version went live. This is critical for industries like finance or healthcare.

Finance: Control Without Bottlenecks

By setting approval thresholds in ApproveThis, finance teams only review high-risk spends. A $300 influencer gift auto-approves, while a $30K partnership triggers multi-level checks—all before syncing to Carrot quest.

Key Considerations

Approver Experience: External partners (like clients approving co-branded content) don’t need Carrot quest logins. They review via ApproveThis’ email links, maintaining security without access hassles.

Error-Proofing: Use Zapier’s filters to prevent unapproved events from going live. Example: Only proceed if ApproveThis status is "Approved" and the Carrot quest event has a valid end date.

Final Thoughts

ApproveThis and Carrot quest bridge the gap between "We need this live now" and "Did everyone sign off?". For marketing teams, this isn’t just about speed—it’s about launching campaigns that are both impactful and compliant. When every approved decision automatically triggers customer interactions, you remove friction from idea to execution.
