ApproveThis manages your Sendcrux Integration approvals.

Two Platforms, One Powerful Connection
When email campaign approvals get stuck in endless Slack threads or forgotten inboxes, marketing teams lose more than time - they miss revenue opportunities. ApproveThis brings order to this chaos by adding structured approval workflows to Sendcrux's robust email marketing capabilities. Together, they create a closed-loop system where campaign launches, subscriber management, and compliance checks happen faster without sacrificing oversight.
Why This Integration Changes the Game
Sendcrux excels at executing campaigns but wasn't built for collaborative decision-making. ApproveThis fills this gap by adding:
- Automatic routing of new campaigns/subscribers/lists for review
- Real-time audit trails showing who approved what
- Conditional logic to handle complex approval scenarios
This combination is particularly valuable for regulated industries (finance, healthcare), agencies managing multiple clients, and e-commerce brands scaling their operations.
Real-World Use Cases That Deliver ROI
1. Campaign Launch Governance
A national retail chain uses this integration to ensure promotional emails meet legal requirements. When marketers create Black Friday campaigns in Sendcrux, ApproveThis automatically routes them to:
- Legal team for compliance check
- Inventory manager for stock verification
- CMO for final sign-off
Approval thresholds automatically escalate urgent campaigns if any reviewer doesn't respond within 24 hours.
2. Compliant Subscriber Management
A financial services company automates GDPR compliance by triggering approval requests whenever new subscribers are added via Sendcrux forms. Their compliance officer reviews each sign-up against consent documentation before ApproveThis permits adding contacts to nurture sequences.
3. Cross-Team List Management
Marketing agencies use this integration to maintain client control. When creating new subscriber lists in Sendcrux, ApproveThis requires approval from both the agency's strategist and the client's brand manager. This prevents list bloat while keeping clients actively engaged.
Technical Advantages You Can't Ignore
While both platforms work independently, their Zapier integration unlocks unique capabilities:
No License Headaches: External approvers (clients, vendors, legal teams) can review Sendcrux campaigns via ApproveThis without needing Sendcrux seats - a 73% cost reduction for one agency client.
Smart Escalations: If a Sendcrux campaign approval stalls, ApproveThis' vacation delegation automatically reassigns the request based on team availability calendars.
Compliance Safeguards: Calculated fields in ApproveThis automatically flag campaigns exceeding predefined discount percentages or inventory levels before they reach approvers.
Implementation Made Simple
Setting up the integration takes under 30 minutes:
- Create a Zapier account (if you don't have one)
- Connect your Sendcrux and ApproveThis accounts
- Choose a trigger event (e.g., "New Campaign Created" in Sendcrux)
- Set the corresponding action ("Create Request" in ApproveThis)
- Map Sendcrux data fields to ApproveThis' approval template
Pro Tip: Use ApproveThis' calculated fields to auto-approve campaigns under $5K while routing larger budgets for manual review.
Department-Specific Benefits
Marketing Teams
Accelerate campaign launches by 40% with parallel approvals - legal reviews copy while designers approve assets simultaneously. Real-time dashboards show exactly where each campaign stands.
Compliance Officers
Maintain regulatory control without becoming a bottleneck. Automated reminders and escalation paths ensure reviews happen on time, every time.
Client Services
Agencies can embed client approval steps directly into Sendcrux workflows. One cosmetics brand reduced revision cycles from 14 days to 3 using ApproveThis' mobile-friendly approval interface.
Beyond Basic Approvals
Sophisticated teams combine this integration with ApproveThis' advanced features:
Dynamic Routing: Automatically send high-value subscriber lists (VIP customers) to senior staff for approval while junior teams handle routine segments.
Audit Trails: Automatically log every approval decision alongside the original Sendcrux campaign data for compliance reporting.
Conditional Logic: If a Sendcrux campaign uses specific keywords ("sale", "limited time"), require extra legal approvals before activation.
Common Pitfalls to Avoid
Don't: Use generic approval messages. Customize ApproveThis templates to show actual Sendcrux campaign previews and performance estimates.
Do: Set up parallel approval paths for multi-department reviews to prevent sequential delays.
Don't: Forget to sync approval statuses back to Sendcrux for automated campaign activation.
The Bottom Line
Companies using both platforms report:
- 68% faster campaign launch cycles
- 92% reduction in compliance incidents
- 40% fewer meetings about approval status
