Why Approval Automation Matters for CRM Users
Revamp CRM helps sales teams move deals forward. ApproveThis ensures those moves stay compliant. Together through Zapier, they create a closed-loop system where customer data triggers approvals, and approvals update customer records – all without manual handoffs.
Consider a sales rep negotiating a custom deal. Without integration:
1. They create the deal in Revamp CRM
2. Switch to email/Slack to request discounts
3. Chase approvers for responses
4. Manually update CRM post-approval
With integration: The discount request auto-generates in ApproveThis, routes via configured rules, and upon approval, updates Revamp CRM with terms and next steps.
Four Workflows Transformed
1. New Customer Vetting
When high-risk clients enter Revamp CRM (large orders, custom terms), ApproveThis adds governance. Marketing agencies use this to prevent over-servicing:
- Trigger: New contact in Revamp with "Proposal Value" over $20k
- Action: Auto-create approval request with deal terms
- Result: Legal/ops review terms before sales commits
2. Deal Desk Automation
Manufacturing reps often need engineering sign-off on custom configurations. The integration ensures:
- Revamp deal records include technical specs
- ApproveThis routes to engineers based on product line
- Approved deals auto-populate production notes
3. Approval-Driven Task Management
Service teams link approvals to deliverables:
- Client approves change order in ApproveThis
- Zapier creates Revamp CRM task with scope/docs
- Technicians complete work per approved terms
4. Audit-Ready Decision Logging
Financial firms use the "Approval → CRM Note" flow:
- Loan exception approved in ApproveThis
- Zapier appends Revamp CRM deal with:
-- Who approved
-- When
-- Rationale from approval comments
Setup Essentials
Time: 12 minutes if prepping these items:
- Revamp CRM API keys (Admin → Integrations)
- ApproveThis account (Free trial works)
- Zapier login
Sample Configuration: Deal Approvals
1. In Zapier, choose "New Deal" as trigger from Revamp CRM
2. Filter deals needing approval (e.g., discount >15%)
3. Action: "Create Request" in ApproveThis
-- Map Revamp fields (Amount, Contact) to approval form
-- Set approvers via role (CFO) or individual
4. Add conditional path:
-- If approved: Update Revamp deal stage to "Closed-Won"
-- If denied: Create follow-up task in Revamp
Pro Tip: Use ApproveThis' Calculated Fields to auto-calculate discount impact on margins during approval.
Cross-Functional Benefits
Sales Teams
Reduce quote-to-close time by 37% (observed in HVAC vendors):
- Approve custom pricing during CRM data entry
- Escalate stalled approvals via vacation delegation
- Track deal-specific approval SLAs
Marketing Operations
Event sponsorships often need cross-department sign-off:
- Create Revamp CRM contacts for vendor
- Auto-trigger approval with budget impact
- Approved? Sync details to project management
Client Services
External approvals made trackable:
- Clients approve change orders via email (no Revamp login)
- Approved work orders auto-sync to Revamp tasks
- Denied requests create CRM cases for revision
Beyond Basic Automation
ApproveThis adds nuance Revamp CRM can't handle natively:
Threshold-Based Routing
Software resellers auto-approve discounts under 10%, route larger requests to regional directors, and flag anything over 25% for CFO review – all based on Revamp deal amounts.
Approval Analytics
Track which Revamp-generated deals get stuck in approval, how long legal takes on MSA reviews, or what % of discounted deals close.
Client-Proof Approvals
External partners (distributors, agencies) approve directly via email without Revamp CRM licenses. Their decisions still sync back to deal records.
Getting Started

Final Thought: Approval as Strategy
Integrating Revamp CRM with ApproveThis isn't about adding process – it's about making governance a competitive edge. When approvals happen in sync with deal progression (not as afterthoughts), companies close faster with fewer errors. That's the power of connected systems.
