When Approval Meets Action
Marketing teams live in a world of deadlines and compliance checks. Makezu Beta gives you Twitter prospecting power, while ApproveThis adds governance guardrails. Together through Zapier, they create a closed-loop system where campaigns move forward only after proper validation – without killing momentum.
Consider this: 68% of marketers report delays from approval bottlenecks (SiriusDecisions). By connecting Makezu's automation capabilities with ApproveThis' structured workflows, teams cut through red tape while maintaining oversight. Legal reviews happen in parallel with campaign setup. Budget approvals trigger automation activations. Every decision leaves an audit trail.
How It Works
The integration uses Zapier to pass data between platforms through four key triggers and actions:
- Campaign Creation → Approval Request: New Makezu campaigns auto-generate approval tasks
- Approval Status → Campaign Updates: Approved requests modify Makezu campaign parameters
Approvers interact entirely through ApproveThis – no need for Makezu licenses. This matters when working with external agencies or cross-functional teams. A compliance officer can reject a problematic tweet draft without ever logging into your marketing stack.
Real-World Impact
Scenario 1: Regulated Industries
Financial services firms using Makezu for lead generation combine it with ApproveThis' multi-layer approvals. When a new Twitter automation is created:
- Compliance team reviews messaging
- Legal confirms disclaimers
- Marketing director approves budget
ApproveThis' calculated fields automatically flag automations exceeding risk thresholds, while vacation delegation prevents holiday delays. One wealth management firm reduced approval cycles from 5 days to 9 hours using this setup.
Scenario 2: Agency Operations
Digital marketing agencies handling 50+ client accounts use the integration to:
- Route draft campaigns to client contacts via email
- Auto-publish upon approval
- Log all decisions for billing disputes
ApproveThis' conditional logic allows different workflows per client tier. VIP accounts get 1-hour SLA escalations; standard accounts follow 48-hour review cycles.
Technical Setup
Connecting the platforms takes 15 minutes:
- Create Zapier account (if new)
- Choose "Makezu Beta" as trigger app
- Select "New Campaign" or "Automation Created" event
- Connect ApproveThis as action app
- Map Makezu fields to ApproveThis request templates
Pro tip: Use ApproveThis' calculated fields to auto-populate campaign budgets based on Makezu data, triggering threshold-based approvals when amounts exceed $10k.
Team-Specific Benefits
Marketing Operations
Reduce campaign launch delays by 80% with parallel review processes. ApproveThis' real-time dashboard shows exactly where requests stall – no more chasing approvers over Slack.
Compliance Teams
Maintain control without becoming a bottleneck. Receive email alerts for high-risk automations, comment directly in ApproveThis, and let the system handle reminders.
Client Services
External stakeholders approve campaigns through simple email links. No login headaches, yet full audit trails prove they signed off on that edgy tweet copy.
Beyond Basic Approvals
While most teams start with campaign reviews, advanced users leverage:
Budget Governance: Connect Makezu's spend data to ApproveThis' approval thresholds. Any automation exceeding monthly limits automatically routes to CFO delegates.
Compliance Archiving: Approved campaigns auto-save PDF snapshots in your CRM via Zapier, creating legal records of exactly what was authorized.
Performance Linking: Post-campaign, push ROI metrics from Makezu back into ApproveThis. Prove that faster approvals correlate with better engagement rates.
Getting Started
Begin with one high-impact workflow:
- Identify a recurring approval bottleneck (e.g., legal tweet reviews)
- Build Zapier flow from Makezu trigger to ApproveThis action
- Test with small team for 2 weeks
Most teams see ROI within 30 days through reduced delays alone. One SaaS company recovered 22 hours/month in saved follow-up time.
Final Thought
Approvals aren't about control – they're about confidence. By integrating Makezu Beta with ApproveThis, marketing teams move fast without breaking things. Compliance gets visibility without micromanaging. And clients stay protected without unnecessary friction.
