Two Tools, One Goal: Smarter Workflows
When doopoll's survey capabilities meet ApproveThis' approval automation, teams gain an edge in turning feedback into action. This integration isn't about replacing human judgment – it's about eliminating bottlenecks in processes where multiple stakeholders need to validate information before proceeding. Marketing teams waiting on legal review for survey campaigns, operations departments managing vendor feedback loops, and product teams prioritizing feature requests all face similar challenges: too many emails, missed deadlines, and unclear accountability. Connecting these platforms through Zapier creates a bridge between data collection and structured decision-making.
What Makes This Integration Unique
doopoll excels at gathering qualitative insights through visually engaging surveys, while ApproveThis specializes in converting those insights into approved actions through configurable workflows. Unlike basic form-to-email solutions, this combination maintains context from the original survey data throughout the approval chain. Approvers see not just a request, but the actual poll results or respondent details that triggered it – without needing direct access to doopoll. This preserves data security while enabling informed decisions.
Real-World Use Cases That Deliver ROI
1. Marketing Campaign Validation
A consumer goods company uses doopoll to test ad concepts with focus groups. When 80%+ respondents react positively, ApproveThis automatically routes the concept to legal for compliance checks and budget sign-off. The approval workflow includes calculated fields that compare survey sentiment scores against historical campaign performance data. Regional marketing directors receive escalation alerts if approvals stall, while agencies track progress through a client-facing portal without doopoll logins.
2. Vendor Performance Management
A manufacturing firm conducts quarterly supplier surveys via doopoll. Responses triggering quality concerns automatically create approval requests in ApproveThis to initiate corrective action plans. The workflow requires sequential sign-offs from procurement, engineering, and finance teams, with vacation delegation ensuring no delays during holiday periods. Approved requests trigger contract updates in the ERP system through additional Zapier connections.
3. Membership Application Processing
Professional associations using doopoll for member referrals can set approval thresholds where applications with 5+ endorsements bypass committee review. ApproveThis handles exception cases with multi-stage voting, tracking dissent reasons in audit trails. Successful applicants receive automated onboarding emails containing personalized links to member-exclusive surveys, closing the feedback loop.
Technical Setup Made Simple
Connecting doopoll to ApproveThis via Zapier takes under 15 minutes:
- Create a Zapier account if you don't have one
- Choose either "New Email Addresses" or "New Responses" as your doopoll trigger
- Map survey data to ApproveThis request fields using Zapier's drag-and-drop interface
- Set conditional logic to route high-priority items differently
- Test with live data before activation
Key configuration tip: Use doopoll's hidden fields to pass internal reference codes into ApproveThis' custom metadata fields for easier tracking.
Department-Specific Benefits
Marketing Teams
Accelerate campaign launches by tying survey results to budget approvals. When test audiences rate concepts above 4/5 stars, ApproveThis automatically notifies finance to release funds, while lower scores trigger revision requests. Approval groups ensure compliance officers and regional managers review localized content variations simultaneously rather than sequentially.
Operations Managers
Transform employee feedback surveys into actionable facility upgrades. Maintenance requests from doopoll polls automatically route to department heads based on cost estimates calculated in real-time. Requests under $5k get fast-tracked through single approver workflows, while larger initiatives require committee review with built-in SLA tracking.
Customer Success Teams
Prioritize account escalations using NPS survey data. Detractors (scores 0-6) trigger immediate approval requests for intervention credits, while passives (7-8) initiate upsell proposal reviews. Approvers receive customer health scores and interaction history directly in approval emails, enabling context-rich decisions without CRM logins.
Product Development
Convert feature requests into sprint planning items through weighted voting. doopoll surveys capture user priorities while ApproveThis calculates weighted scores based on respondent tier (enterprise vs. free users). Features crossing 75-point thresholds auto-approve for development, others require product council review.
Beyond Basic Automation
While the initial integration focuses on request creation, advanced users leverage ApproveThis' bidirectional capabilities:
- Auto-close completed doopoll surveys when final approvals occur
- Update survey response records with approval decision timestamps
- Trigger Zapier actions upon approval denial to send follow-up surveys
A healthcare provider uses this approach to handle patient satisfaction surveys – denied service change approvals automatically trigger patient re-engagement polls through doopoll, creating a continuous improvement cycle.
Critical Advantage: External Collaboration
ApproveThis eliminates the cost and complexity of provisioning external users in doopoll. When survey results require client approval (common in agencies), partners receive branded approval emails with response summaries. They click to approve/deny without doopoll accounts, while all interactions sync back to the original survey record. This maintains a single source of truth while controlling data access.
Getting Started
To implement these workflows:
- Sign up for ApproveThis and doopoll accounts
- Connect both apps through Zapier
- Clone pre-built templates or design custom workflows
- Train teams on reviewing requests via email/mobile
Most customers see process acceleration within 30 days, with one logistics company reporting 68% faster vendor onboarding after implementing joint approval workflows.
Final Considerations
While powerful, this integration works best when teams first optimize their underlying processes. Conduct a 1-hour mapping session to identify:
- Which survey outcomes require human approval
- Approval chains for different response thresholds
- Data needed from doopoll to make informed decisions
ApproveThis' free tier supports basic doopoll integrations, making risk-free experimentation possible. For complex use cases involving HIPAA or GDPR-protected data, enterprise plans offer enhanced compliance features.
