ApproveThis manages your wCard.io Integration approvals.

When Digital Networking Meets Decision Automation

Modern businesses face a critical challenge: capturing opportunities quickly while maintaining control over decisions. wCard.io revolutionizes contact sharing with digital business cards that capture leads instantly, while ApproveThis brings structure to the approval processes that turn those leads into action. Together through Zapier, they create a closed-loop system where every new connection automatically triggers tailored review processes - without manual handoffs.

Why This Integration Matters

Consider a sales team using wCard.io to collect 50+ leads daily at trade shows. Without automation, reps waste hours manually entering data and chasing approvals. The integration solves this by:

• Auto-converting wCard.io leads into approval requests
• Applying conditional logic based on lead value/type
• Maintaining audit trails for compliance

A marketing agency used this setup to reduce client onboarding time from 72 hours to 90 minutes by auto-routing wCard-collected client details through compliance checks.

Core Integration Capabilities

The Zapier-powered connection supports two key interactions:

Trigger: New wCard.io lead → Create ApproveThis request
Action: Approval decision → Update CRM/project tools

Approval thresholds in ApproveThis automatically greenlight small opportunities while escalating high-value leads to executives. Vacation delegation ensures no decision gets stuck waiting.

Team-Specific Benefits

Sales Teams

Field reps can:

• Trigger contract approvals directly from prospect interactions
• Escalate premium account requests to VP-level
• Auto-archive declined leads to reduce CRM clutter

Marketing Teams

Campaign managers gain:

Instant approval chains for:
- Partnership requests from shared wCards

Real-World Implementation Example

A construction supplier uses wCard.io cards with project inquiry forms. Each submission triggers:

1. ApproveThis calculates potential deal size
2. Routes to regional manager if >$25k
3. Auto-approves standard quotes <$5k
4. Updates their project management tool post-approval

This reduced their bid response time by 68% while maintaining oversight on major deals.

Technical Setup Made Simple

Implementation requires:

1. Zapier account
2. ApproveThis subscription
3. wCard.io premium plan

Configuration Steps

A. Create Zap in Zapier:
- Trigger: wCard.io "New Lead"
- Action: ApproveThis "Create Request"

B. Map fields:
wCard contact details → ApproveThis request form

C. Set approval rules in ApproveThis:
- Thresholds
- Escalation paths
- Email/SMS notifications

Critical Advantage: External Collaboration

ApproveThis eliminates license barriers for external approvers. Clients reviewing proposals submitted via wCard.io can approve directly via email without needing access to either platform. Legal teams at partner companies can review contracts through their existing inboxes.

Advanced Features Worth Exploring

Beyond basic approvals, consider:

Calculated Fields: Auto-compute deal values or risk scores based on wCard submission data
Conditional Routing: Send enterprise leads to dedicated approvers
Approval Groups: Require consensus from multiple departments

Common Implementation Mistakes

Avoid these pitfalls:
- Not testing vacation delegation rules
- Using sequential approvals where parallel would be faster
- Failing to set automatic reminders for approvers

Future-Proofing Your Process

The integration scales through:
- Dynamic approval thresholds adjusted for inflation
- Automated compliance documentation
- Real-time dashboards showing lead-to-approval conversion rates
