Why Combine ApproveThis with Brandvas?

Marketing teams thrive on speed – but they crash when approvals slow them down. Brandvas excels at managing creative projects and client relationships, while ApproveThis cuts through decision-making bottlenecks. Together through Zapier, these platforms create a closed-loop system where project data automatically triggers approval workflows, and decisions automatically update your records.

Consider this: 43% of marketing delays stem from internal approvals (SiriusDecisions). By connecting Brandvas' project tracking with ApproveThis' structured workflows, teams gain real-time oversight without manual follow-ups. Legal reviews creative briefs before designers start work. Finance greenlights budgets as projects are created. Clients sign off on deliverables through email – no logins required.

Key Integration Use Cases

Automated Client Onboarding Approvals

When a sales team adds a new client in Brandvas, Zapier can instantly:

  • Create an approval request in ApproveThis
  • Route it to legal/compliance teams
  • Attach the client's contract terms for review

Example: A digital agency uses this workflow to ensure all new clients meet anti-money laundering checks before designers begin work. ApproveThis automatically escalates high-risk clients to the CFO while approving standard accounts instantly.

Project Kickoff Governance

Every new Brandvas project can require multi-level validation:

  • Creative director approves scope alignment
  • Finance confirms budget allocation
  • Client stakeholder signs off via email

Example: An e-commerce studio reduced project setup time by 65% by auto-routing project briefs through ApproveThis. Their workflow uses calculated fields to flag projects exceeding $50K budgets for executive review.

Technical Setup Made Simple

Connecting Brandvas and ApproveThis takes 15 minutes in Zapier:

  1. Create a Zapier account (if needed)
  2. Choose Brandvas as your trigger app (Zapier's Brandvas integration)
  3. Select "New Client" or "New Project" as the trigger event
  4. Connect ApproveThis as the action app
  5. Map Brandvas fields to ApproveThis request templates

Pro Tip: Enable ApproveThis' approval thresholds to auto-approve small budget changes while flagging major overages.

Team-Specific Benefits

For Creative Teams

No more chasing signatures. When Brandvas projects are approved, your PM tool (Asana, Trello) automatically unlocks tasks. ApproveThis' vacation delegation ensures Art Directors don't block progress when OOO.

For Client Services

External stakeholders approve deliverables via email without Brandvas logins. ApproveThis tracks client responses alongside internal decisions in one audit trail.

For Finance

Budget approvals happen before resources are committed. Configure ApproveThis to require CFO sign-off for projects exceeding Q4 spend limits, with automatic Brandvas project pauses if thresholds are breached.

Beyond Basic Approvals

ApproveThis adds enterprise-grade controls to Brandvas' workflow without complexity:

Conditional Routing: Route design proofs to legal only if containing user-generated content. Send video productions to compliance if exceeding 30 seconds.

Real-Time Dashboards: Track approval SLAs across all Brandvas clients. Identify bottlenecks where creative briefs stall in legal review.

Compliance Safeguards: Maintain immutable records of who approved controversial campaigns and when.

When to Consider This Integration

This combo works best for:

- Agencies with 10+ clients needing standardized oversight
- In-house teams managing 50+ concurrent projects
- Regulated industries requiring audit-ready approval trails

Note: ApproveThis doesn't replace Brandvas' native task management – it adds governance layers where needed.
