ApproveThis manages your Yka Integration approvals.

Two Platforms, One Powerful Connection

Yka turns physical touchpoints like smart business cards and digital menus into lead generation machines, while ApproveThis brings structure to decision-making through automated approval workflows. When connected via Zapier, these platforms create a seamless bridge between lead capture and team collaboration.

This integration solves a critical challenge for customer-facing teams: responding to leads quickly while maintaining oversight. Sales teams lose $1.7M annually per company due to slow follow-ups (InsideSales). By automating approval routing for Yka leads through ApproveThis, businesses can cut decision latency while keeping stakeholders aligned.

How It Works: From Smart Object to Approved Lead

When a prospect interacts with a Yka-connected object (like scanning a QR code on a restaurant's digital menu), their contact details and context automatically flow into your CRM. With this integration:

1. Yka detects new lead creation
2. Zapier triggers an ApproveThis approval request
3. Decision-makers review lead details directly via email
4. Approval status updates sync back to Yka

What makes this powerful: ApproveThis approvers don't need Yka licenses to participate. External partners or executives can review requests through email or a simple dashboard, maintaining security without added software costs.

Real-World Use Cases

1. High-Volume Lead Qualification

Ideal for: Marketing agencies running client campaigns

When Yka smart posters at an event generate 500+ leads overnight, ApproveThis automatically routes:

• Leads from VIP attendees to client stakeholders
• Standard leads to agency sales teams
• Invalid entries to trash via auto-denial thresholds

An automotive dealership group used this method to reduce lead response time from 48 hours to 90 minutes.

2. Multi-Location Approval Chains

Ideal for: Franchise businesses & retail chains

When a Yka-connected menu at a franchise location captures catering inquiries:

1. Local manager approves capacity
2. Regional director reviews pricing
3. Corporate team finalizes contract terms

Approval Groups ensure consensus before committing resources.

3. Client-Specific Workflows

Ideal for: B2B service providers

Marketing agencies can configure unique approval paths per client:

Client A requires CMO approval for leads over $50K (using Approval Thresholds)
Client B needs simultaneous sign-off from sales and legal teams (via Consensus Groups)

Team-Specific Benefits

Sales Teams

Reduce lead aging by 72% with automatic routing to available reps. Vacation Delegation ensures European leads don't wait for US approvers on holiday.

Marketing Teams

Measure campaign ROI faster by tying Yka lead sources to approval rates. Real-Time Tracking shows which events/QR codes drive qualified leads.

Operations Teams

Prevent resource overallocation with conditional approvals. A restaurant chain auto-denies catering leads when kitchen capacity hits 90%.

Advanced Configuration Tips

Dynamic Routing:
Use Yka's lead tags to send:
- "High Priority" leads to exec team

- "Bulk Order" leads to procurement

Auto-Approvals:
Set thresholds to instantly accept leads meeting criteria:
- Contacts from approved domains
- Minimum order value met
- Previous customer status

Compliance Guardrails:
Add mandatory approval steps for:
- Leads requesting sensitive data
- Interactions in regulated markets
- High-discount requests

Why This Integration Works

Yka excels at capturing contextual lead data through innovative touchpoints. ApproveThis adds governance without bureaucracy. Together via Zapier, they enable:

Speed: Turn days-long email chains into one-click approvals
Visibility: Track lead status across sales/marketing/ops
Flexibility: Adapt workflows as teams scale

A healthcare tech company using both platforms reduced contract approval cycles from 14 days to 3 days while maintaining compliance oversight.
