When "Just Approve It" Isn't Good Enough
Let's get real—nobody wakes up excited to chase down approvals. But when your sales team's hot lead gets stuck in accounting limbo for three days, or a customer query dies in someone's vacation inbox, that's revenue leaking. This is where ApproveThis and Chatsimple turn into your tag-team against bureaucratic sludge.
Why This Combo Doesn't Just "Integrate"—It Obliterates Silos
Chatsimple’s AI chatbots are great at grabbing leads 24/7. But what happens after the lead says "yes"? If your process involves Slack pings, forwarded emails, and CC'ing the CFO's assistant, you're losing deals to friction. ApproveThis doesn't just move paperwork faster—it hardwires your approval rules into the lead's journey.
The Nuts You Actually Care About
Connect via Zapier in 15 minutes. Now:
- High-value leads auto-trigger approval chains (no manual triage)
- Approvers veto or greenlight via email—no new logins
- Denied requests auto-archive in Chatsimple with reasons logged
Use Cases That Don't Sound Like a Software Demo
Template 1: "New Lead → Approval Request"
Your chatbot gets a lead from a Fortune 500 company. Instead of your AE guessing who needs to sign off on custom pricing, ApproveThis:
- Checks deal size against thresholds (auto-approve under $10K)
- Pings legal if contract edits are requested
- Slacks the sales director if it's been 4+ hours
Template 2: "Approved Request → New Lead"
Your ops team approves a client's custom onboarding request. Chatsimple instantly creates a lead tagged "High Priority" and assigns a sales engineer. No copying/pasting—just money moving faster.
Who Actually Benefits (Besides Your Sanity)
Sales Teams: Stop babysitting deals through approvals. If a lead's qualified, ApproveThis handles the internal politics while you prep the demo.
Ops Managers: Enforce approval rules without being the bad guy. Vacation delegation means Karen in accounting doesn't hold up Q4's biggest deal.
Finance: Auto-approve routine spends, but get alerted when a deal's margin dips below 15%. No more surprise discounts.
Setting This Up Without a PhD in Zapier
1. Chatsimple chatbot captures lead → 2. Zapier sends lead details to ApproveThis → 3. Approval rules kick in (assign approvers based on deal size, location, etc.) → 4. Approved? Chatsimple updates the lead status. Denied? It logs why and notifies sales.
Pro tip: Use ApproveThis' calculated fields to auto-flag leads needing exec sign-off. Example: "If deal size > $50K OR requires custom SLA, route to VP Sales."
Why This Isn't Just Another "Integration"
Most CRMs show approval statuses. ApproveThis + Chatsimple enforces them. Example: A lead requests a feature your team hasn't approved yet. Instead of a sales rep overpromising:
1. Chatbot auto-triggers a feature request approval
2. Product team votes via email (no Chatsimple license needed)
3. If approved, sales gets the greenlight with approved talking points
The Quietly Ruthless Efficiency Stuff
Approval Thresholds: Let junior staff handle small deals. Escalate big fish automatically.
Conditional Logic: Route EU leads to legal for GDPR checks, others straight to sales.
Real-Time Tracking: See which deals are stuck and why—no more "I thought YOU approved it?"
No More "Who's Approving What?"
ApproveThis shows every lead's approval status in plain English: "Awaiting CFO sign-off (est. 12hrs)." Chatsimple tags the lead accordingly, so your team knows when to push vs. pause.
For Companies That Hate Wasting Time
This isn't about flashy AI—it's about eliminating the 17 internal emails it takes to approve a demo request. Connect Chatsimple + ApproveThis via Zapier, and your teams can actually focus on their jobs instead of approval paperwork.
Bottom Line: Approvals Shouldn't Be a Sales Killer
If your CRM is where leads go to die in approval purgatory, you're doing it wrong. ApproveThis + Chatsimple keeps deals moving while keeping your CFO happy. It’s process enforcement without the micromanagement.
