ApproveThis manages your Picreel Integration approvals.

When Lead Capture Meets Approval Automation

Picreel’s exit-intent popups convert abandoning visitors into leads. ApproveThis turns those leads into actionable decisions. Together, they solve a critical gap: the 12-24 hours most teams lose manually reviewing leads before taking action. Through Zapier, these platforms automate the entire journey from visitor identification to stakeholder approval – cutting delays while maintaining oversight.

Consider this scenario: A SaaS company uses Picreel to offer free trials to visitors about to leave their pricing page. Without automation, their sales team wastes hours each week validating which leads meet ideal customer criteria. With ApproveThis integration, every new lead triggers an instant approval request routed to the sales director. Qualified prospects get fast-tracked while unqualified leads receive automated follow-up – all without manual triage.

Why This Integration Works for Cross-Functional Teams

Marketing teams gain real-time visibility into which campaigns drive approvable leads. Sales ops reduces deal slippage by eliminating approval bottlenecks. Executives maintain control through customizable thresholds (e.g., auto-approve leads from enterprise domains). Crucially, external partners or clients can approve requests via email without needing Picreel logins – a key advantage for agencies managing multiple accounts.

For e-commerce brands, this integration shines during flash sales. When Picreel detects high cart abandonment, it can trigger approval workflows to temporarily increase discount thresholds. ApproveThis’ calculated fields automatically determine maximum allowable discounts based on inventory levels pulled from other systems, ensuring margin protection even during rapid-fire promotions.

Implementation Made Simple

Setting up the integration requires three steps in Zapier:

1. Connect Picreel’s "New Lead" trigger
2. Map lead data to ApproveThis’ custom request fields
3. Configure approval rules (thresholds, approvers, escalation paths)

Technical teams appreciate that ApproveThis handles complex logic natively – no custom coding required for multi-tier approvals. A marketing agency might set geographic approval rules where leads from EMEA routes to London-based managers, while APAC leads go through Singapore. All defined through dropdowns, not developers.

For ongoing optimization, use ApproveThis’ real-time dashboards to identify recurring approval bottlenecks. If 80% of $5K+ deals get stuck awaiting CFO sign-off, create an automated escalation rule to notify accounting leads after 6 hours of inactivity.

Beyond Lead Approval: Advanced Use Cases

While lead processing is the primary use case, creative teams deploy this integration for:

• Campaign Budget Approvals: When Picreel detects a surge in high-value leads during a promotion, automatically request additional ad spend approval
• Compliance Checks: Auto-reject leads from restricted regions based on IP data in Picreel’s lead profiles

An enterprise software vendor uses calculated fields to prioritize leads. They multiply lead score (from Picreel) by deal size estimate, auto-approving any request over $50K potential value. Lower-value leads route to junior reps for qualification.

Key Features That Make It Work

ApproveThis’ vacation delegation prevents approval gridlock when approvers are OOO – critical for time-sensitive leads. If a sales VP is traveling, requests automatically reroute to their deputy without IT involvement. Meanwhile, Picreel’s lead scoring ensures only qualified prospects trigger approval workflows, maintaining focus on high-potential deals.

For companies with complex approval hierarchies, sequential approval groups ensure proper oversight. A manufacturing client requires plant manager approval before escalating to regional director – all automated through ApproveThis’ workflow builder. Picreel provides the product interest data that determines which plant gets involved first.

Who Benefits Most?

E-commerce Teams: Reduce cart abandonment recovery time from hours to minutes by approving discount offers in real-time based on customer lifetime value calculations.

Marketing Agencies: Clients approve campaign changes directly via email without accessing internal tools, maintaining security while speeding up revisions.

B2B SaaS Companies: Product leads from Picreel trigger free trial extensions or feature access approvals, improving conversion without overburdening support teams.

Getting Started

Begin with a single workflow: Picreel leads → Sales approval → CRM creation. Use ApproveThis’ template library to clone proven approval processes from similar companies. Gradually introduce conditional logic – for example, auto-approving leads that match specific technographic criteria from Clearbit enrichments.

Remember, ApproveThis doesn’t require approvers to have Picreel seats. Clients or external partners review requests through branded portals or email – ideal for businesses that collaborate with distributors or franchisees.

For advanced users, layer in approval thresholds based on Picreel’s lead engagement metrics. A lead who viewed 10+ pages might get auto-approved for premium support, while casual browsers receive standard nurturing.

Final Recommendations

Start small but think big. Even basic approval automation between Picreel and ApproveThis typically reduces decision latency by 65%. As teams adapt, introduce features like:

• Dynamic approval groups that rotate based on approver capacity
• Auto-denial rules for leads that don’t meet compliance standards

Always measure time-to-approval metrics pre- and post-integration. Most users see ROI within 30 days through reduced operational costs and increased lead conversion rates.
