ApproveThis manages your Scale Fast Integration approvals.

Why Combine Scale Fast with ApproveThis?

Scale Fast excels at managing contacts and automating marketing workflows, while ApproveThis specializes in turning slow approval processes into streamlined operations. When connected via Zapier, these platforms create a closed-loop system where data flows effortlessly between customer management and decision-making teams. The result? Faster response times, fewer errors, and clear audit trails for every business action.

The Hidden Cost of Manual Processes

Marketing teams using Scale Fast often hit bottlenecks when new leads require legal review, high-value accounts need executive sign-off, or form submissions must be vetted. ApproveThis removes these roadblocks by adding structured approval layers directly into Scale Fast workflows - without requiring approvers to learn new software. Finance and operations teams gain control, while sales and marketing maintain velocity.

Real-World Workflows for Modern Businesses

1. Contact List Governance

A healthcare tech company uses Scale Fast to capture leads through webinar signups. Their compliance team requires approval before adding contacts to email campaigns. Through Zapier, every new Scale Fast contact triggers an ApproveThis request with calculated risk scores based on form responses. Legal reviewers receive email approvals with one-click decisions that automatically update Scale Fast lists.

2. High-Stakes Client Onboarding

Enterprise SaaS providers often need multi-department sign-off for custom contracts. When sales teams create Scale Fast contacts for new enterprise leads, ApproveThis initiates parallel approvals across legal, security, and finance teams. Approval thresholds automatically escalate deals over $250K to C-level execs, while standard contracts follow sequential department reviews.

3. Form-to-Approval Automation

Nonprofits processing grant applications through Scale Fast forms use ApproveThis to route submissions to review committees. Calculated fields automatically flag incomplete submissions, while approval groups ensure each application gets three committee votes. Approved grants trigger Scale Fast workflows to schedule donor onboarding calls.

Technical Integration Made Simple

Connecting Scale Fast and ApproveThis requires no coding expertise. Through Zapier's visual interface, teams can set up bi-directional workflows in under 20 minutes:

1. Create Zapier account (if not already using)
2. Choose Scale Fast trigger (new contact/form submission)
3. Map data fields to ApproveThis request template
4. Set approval rules and escalation paths
5. Connect approval outcomes back to Scale Fast actions

Key advantage: ApproveThis approvers only need email access - no additional software licenses. External partners and client stakeholders can participate in approval chains without needing Scale Fast logins.

Department-Specific Benefits

Marketing Teams

Maintain campaign velocity while ensuring compliance. Approval thresholds automatically greenlight routine list additions under 500 contacts, while larger imports require manager review. Vacation delegation prevents campaign delays when key stakeholders are OOO.

Sales Operations

Embed contract approvals directly into Scale Fast deal records. When reps update opportunity amounts, ApproveThis recalculates required approvers. Real-time dashboards show which deals are stuck in legal review versus cleared to close.

Finance Controllers

Enforce spending policies through calculated fields that compare request amounts against budget remaining. Automatic approval routing sends vendor contracts to AP managers based on vendor risk tiers stored in Scale Fast.

Beyond Basic Automation

While simple approvals provide value, ApproveThis unlocks advanced scenarios through:

• Conditional Routing: Send high-risk contacts to compliance teams, standard leads to sales managers
• Dynamic Escalation: Auto-approve requests under $1K, flag others for CFO review
• Cross-Platform Audits: Match Scale Fast contact timelines with approval decision records
