Two Tools, One Goal: Faster Decisions, Better Content

ApproveThis and PublisherKit solve different problems – but when connected through Zapier, they create a powerhouse for teams that need to move fast without sacrificing quality. ApproveThis cuts through approval bottlenecks with automated workflows, while PublisherKit accelerates content creation with AI-driven design tools. Together, they turn clunky processes into seamless workflows where approved ideas instantly become publish-ready assets.

Where Approval Management Meets Creative Execution

PublisherKit excels at generating social media graphics, blog banners, and product images at scale. But even the best designs get stuck in email chains waiting for feedback. ApproveThis removes that friction by bringing structured approvals directly into your content pipeline. When a new PublisherKit template gets created, ApproveThis automatically routes it to the right stakeholders. No more chasing down sign-offs – decisions happen where the work does.

Real-World Impact Across Teams

A mid-sized ecommerce company reduced their product launch timeline by 40% using this integration. Their marketing team creates seasonal campaign templates in PublisherKit, which automatically trigger approval workflows in ApproveThis. Legal reviews disclaimers while the creative team adjusts layouts – all within a single process.

Core Integration Use Cases

1. Template Approval Automation

When PublisherKit generates a new design template (like a social media post series), ApproveThis instantly creates an approval task for stakeholders. Finance teams can verify pricing displays, legal checks compliance text, and brand managers assess visual consistency – all before any content goes live.

Who Benefits Most:

• Marketing agencies reviewing client content
• Retail chains approving region-specific promotions
• SaaS companies managing feature launch materials

2. Approval-Driven Content Generation

Reverse the flow: When an ApproveThis request gets approved (like a new product spec sheet), PublisherKit automatically generates matching social media images or blog headers. This keeps branded assets synced across teams without manual handoffs.

Ideal For:

• Event planners creating conference materials
• Real estate firms producing property listings
• Publishers coordinating article releases

Key Integration Benefits

For Creative Teams

Designers waste less time on unapproved revisions. PublisherKit templates only move into production after ApproveThis confirms all stakeholders have signed off on copy, visuals, and compliance elements.

For Operations Managers

Approval thresholds in ApproveThis prevent creative bottlenecks. A regional manager might auto-approve campaigns under $5K budget while routing larger spends to executives – all while PublisherKit keeps localized versions consistent.

For External Partners

Vendors or clients can approve PublisherKit designs via ApproveThis without needing access to your internal systems. They receive email notifications with direct approve/reject buttons, maintaining security while speeding up feedback loops.

Implementation Made Simple

Setting up the integration takes under 15 minutes through Zapier:

  1. Connect ApproveThis and PublisherKit to your Zapier account
  2. Choose your trigger event (e.g., "New Template in PublisherKit")
  3. Map template details to ApproveThis request fields
  4. Set approval rules and notification preferences

Most users start with the pre-built "PublisherKit Template Approval" zap template, then customize conditions and escalation rules as needed.

Advanced Configuration Tips

Combine ApproveThis' calculated fields with PublisherKit's dynamic templates to create intelligent workflows. Example: A real estate agency auto-generates property listing images in PublisherKit only after ApproveThis confirms both legal approval and minimum photo quality standards.

Critical Security Note

While ApproveThis allows external approvers to review PublisherKit content without licenses, ensure sensitive templates are watermarked or access-controlled through PublisherKit's permission settings before sharing.

Scaling Across Departments

The integration adapts to organizational complexity:

Enterprise Use: A pharmaceutical company uses approval groups in ApproveThis to route clinical trial graphics through medical, legal, and compliance reviews simultaneously before PublisherKit generates patient-facing materials.

Small Business Advantage: A 10-person consultancy automates their proposal process – approved fee structures in ApproveThis trigger PublisherKit to generate branded client decks with accurate pricing visuals.

Beyond Basic Approvals

ApproveThis adds governance to PublisherKit's creative power:

Version Control: Every approved template iteration is logged in ApproveThis, creating an audit trail for design changes.
Resource Allocation: Vacation delegation ensures PublisherKit workflows keep moving – if a key approver is out, requests automatically reroute to their deputy.
Budget Alignment: Approval thresholds block premium PublisherKit template usage until projected ROI is verified.

Getting Started

Begin with a single workflow:

1. Choose high-impact content types (email campaigns, product images)
2. Map your current approval process in ApproveThis
3. Connect to PublisherKit via Zapier using pre-built triggers
4. Run a pilot with one team before org-wide rollout
