ApproveThis manages your UniLink Integration approvals.

Why Combine ApproveThis and UniLink?

When social media drives 80% of consumer purchases but only 2% of clicks actually convert, businesses need smarter ways to turn casual scrollers into committed buyers. This is where UniLink shines – transforming TikTok/Instagram profiles into clickable storefronts that capture email sign-ups. But capturing leads is only half the battle. Without swift approvals for follow-up actions, opportunities decay like unrefrigerated milk.

ApproveThis plugs this gap by adding decision velocity to UniLink's conversion engine. While UniLink gathers leads through shoppable content and email forms, ApproveThis automates the review processes needed to act on those leads. Together, they create a closed-loop system where visitor engagement directly triggers business actions – without manual handoffs or approval bottlenecks.

The Operational Advantage

Consider a luxury watch brand using UniLink to showcase limited editions via Instagram Stories. When high-value leads sign up for early access, ApproveThis automatically routes these requests to regional managers for inventory checks. Approval thresholds ensure only qualified leads get offers, while calculated fields automatically apply discount tiers based on customer lifetime value pulled from your CRM.

This integration isn't about replacing human judgment – it's about eliminating the administrative sludge that slows down strategic decisions. Marketing teams maintain creative control over UniLink campaigns, while finance and leadership retain oversight through ApproveThis' audit trails. The result? Faster campaign iterations and fewer missed opportunities.

Real-World Use Cases Across Industries

E-Commerce: Flash Sales with Built-In Compliance

A DTC skincare brand uses UniLink to promote a 24-hour serum bundle sale. Each email sign-up triggers an ApproveThis workflow where:

• The CFO receives automatic cost/profit calculations
• The legal team reviews promotional claims
• Warehouse managers confirm stock availability

Approval groups ensure all stakeholders sign off within 90 minutes – crucial for time-sensitive offers.

Agencies: Client-Campaign Approvals

Digital marketing agencies managing 50+ UniLink microsites use ApproveThis to streamline client reviews. When a new lead magnet goes live:

• Internal teams validate GDPR compliance
• Clients approve content via email (no UniLink login required)
• Automated reminders prevent campaign delays

Vacation delegation automatically reassign approvals during client PTO, keeping projects on track.

B2B SaaS: Lead Qualification at Scale

A CRM provider uses UniLink forms on LinkedIn to capture enterprise leads. ApproveThis cross-references sign-ups with:

- Clearbit enrichment data (automatic company size checks)
- Salesforce opportunities (existing deal conflicts)
- Calculated fields scoring lead priority

High-potential leads get instant sales team assignments, while mismatches trigger nurturing sequences.

Technical Synergy: How It Works

The integration via Zapier acts as a real-time bridge between systems:

2. ApproveThis Status Changes: Instant alerts when requests get approved/denied

Actions

- Create approval requests in ApproveThis with lead details auto-populated
- Push approval decisions back to UniLink/CRM for immediate action

Example flow: A furniture retailer's UniLink "Catalog Request" form triggers an ApproveThis workflow where:
• Sales reps validate lead quality
• The system checks if lead's location matches service areas
• Approved requests auto-ship sample kits via FedEx integration

Team-Specific Benefits

Marketing: Campaign Velocity

Launch UniLink campaigns faster by automating compliance checks. Dynamic approval routing ensures the right stakeholders review legal disclaimers or promotional claims without department ping-pong.

Sales: Qualified Pipeline

ApproveThis acts as a lead gatekeeper – only sales-ready contacts get through. Integration with Salesforce/HubSpot automatically updates lead statuses post-approval.

Operations: Audit-Proof Processes

Every approval decision includes timestamps, comments, and version history. Essential for regulated industries handling sensitive customer data through UniLink forms.

Leadership: Strategic Oversight

Real-time dashboards show approval bottlenecks impacting conversion rates. Use data to optimize both UniLink CTAs and internal decision processes.

Beyond Basic Approvals: Advanced Tactics

1. Dynamic Pricing Approvals

A travel agency's UniLink "Group Inquiry" form triggers ApproveThis workflows where:
- Calculated fields estimate package profitability
- Approval thresholds auto-approve 10% discounts
- Large groups get escalated to revenue management

2. Compliance Safeguards

Healthcare providers using UniLink for appointment requests can:
- Auto-redact PHI data before staff review
- Require dual approvals for high-risk procedures
- Integrate with EHR systems post-approval

3. Global Campaign Coordination

ApproveThis' multi-language support lets regional teams review UniLink leads in their local language, while centralized dashboards maintain global reporting.

Why This Integration Wins

The magic lies in bridging two critical gaps:

1. Speed-to-Approval: UniLink captures leads in seconds; ApproveThis ensures they're reviewed in minutes – not days.

2. Contextual Decision Making: Approvers get rich lead data (UTM sources, form responses) alongside traditional CRM data for informed choices.

Unlike clunky approval add-ons, this combo respects team boundaries. Marketing owns UniLink's creative experience, while legal/finance controls approval rules without needing CMS access.
