ApproveThis manages your Delesign Integration approvals.

Why Approval Automation Matters for Design Teams

Modern design workflows demand more than creativity – they require precision in process management. Delesign has become a go-to platform for organizations needing senior-level design talent, handling everything from UI/UX projects to marketing animations. But even the best designs get stuck in approval limbo. That's where ApproveThis transforms the game through Zapier-powered automation.

By connecting Delesign's project management capabilities with ApproveThis' structured approval system, teams eliminate bottlenecks that delay campaigns, product launches, and client deliverables. This integration isn't about replacing human judgment – it's about accelerating decision-making so great work moves forward faster.

How the Integration Works

Through Zapier, Delesign triggers approval workflows in ApproveThis at critical project milestones. Key connections include:

• Project Initiation: Auto-create approval requests when new design briefs enter Delesign
• Status Updates: Push approved designs back to Delesign for immediate execution

What makes this powerful? ApproveThis handles complex approval logic – multi-level signoffs, conditional routing, automatic escalations – without requiring approvers to learn Delesign's interface. External clients can approve via email while internal teams track everything in ApproveThis' dashboard.

Real-World Applications

1. Marketing Campaign Acceleration

A retail company launches seasonal promotions requiring 50+ design assets monthly. Their Delesign workflow:

1. Content team submits social media graphics request
2. Zapier triggers ApproveThis workflow with brief details
3. Legal approves disclaimers → Brand team reviews aesthetics → CMO gives final signoff

ApproveThis' calculated fields automatically route high-budget designs to finance, while approval thresholds let junior staff approve minor edits. Result: 62% faster campaign deployment.

2. Client-Facing Design Shops

A UI/UX agency uses Delesign for client projects but struggled with endless "just one more tweak" cycles. Their fix:

- Final designs trigger ApproveThis requests sent directly to client emails
- Clients click approve/reject without logging into any system
- Approved files auto-archive in Delesign; rejected ones reopen tasks

With vacation delegation, client-side approvers never block progress – substitutes are auto-assigned after 48hrs.

Getting Started in 3 Steps

Step 1: Create a Zapier account (free tier works)
Step 2: Connect Delesign and ApproveThis as apps
Step 3: Build your trigger-action pairs:

Sample Workflow: New Project → Approval Request

1. Choose "New Project" as Delesign trigger
2. Map key fields (project ID, brief summary, files)
3. Set ApproveThis action to "Create Request"
4. Configure approvers using roles or specific emails

Pro Tip: Use ApproveThis' conditional logic to vary approval paths based on Delesign project tags. E.g., "urgent" projects skip junior reviewers.

Who Gains the Most?

Creative Directors

Reduce status meetings by 40% with real-time approval tracking. Set approval groups to ensure brand managers review before executives, preventing rework.

Operations Managers

Cut SaaS costs – ApproveThis doesn't require approvers to have Delesign licenses. Audit-ready trails show who approved what version, crucial for regulated industries.

External Collaborators

Clients and contractors approve via email while maintaining Delesign's security protocols. No more "I never saw that email" excuses with timestamped records.

Beyond Basic Approvals

While the Zapier integration handles core workflows, ApproveThis adds layers of control:

Dynamic Calculations

Auto-calculate design hours or budget impacts within approval requests. If a Delesign project exceeds quoted hours, ApproveThis can:

- Flag for finance review
- Require client re-approval
- Auto-adjust internal forecasts

Compliance Safeguards

For healthcare/pharma teams: Configure Delesign → ApproveThis rules where:
- All patient-facing materials require legal + compliance signoff
- Approved designs lock edits in Delesign
- Version histories auto-archive for 7 years

Ready to Transform Design Workflows?

Delesign already streamlines design execution. Adding ApproveThis via Zapier brings similar rigor to decision-making. Whether you're:

- An in-house team tired of chasing stakeholders
- An agency needing client feedback structured, not scattered
- A compliance-heavy org requiring audit trails

This integration turns approvals from a bottleneck into a competitive edge.
