ApproveThis manages your Salesdash CRM Integration approvals.

When Approval Chaos Meets CRM Clutter

Let’s cut to the chase: Your sales team spends more time begging for approvals than closing deals. Marketing’s waiting on budget sign-offs. Operations is drowning in purchase requests. Meanwhile, your CRM’s packed with half-baked deals and unvetted accounts. Enter the tag team you didn’t know you needed – ApproveThis and Salesdash CRM, connected through Zapier. This isn’t about “streamlining workflows.” It’s about giving your team superpowers to actually do their jobs instead of playing email tag.

What Happens When Approval Muscle Meets CRM Brains?

Salesdash CRM keeps your client data organized. ApproveThis slaps structure on your approval free-for-all. Together? They turn bureaucratic bottlenecks into automated handshakes. Here’s the breakdown:

Salesdash CRM’s Wheelhouse

Track deals, manage accounts, log client interactions. Great at recording what’s happened. Not so great at deciding what should happen next.

ApproveThis’ Secret Sauce

Custom approval chains that actually make sense. Think: “If deal value > $50K, route to CFO. Under? Auto-approve.” Vacation backups. Real-time tracking. All without needing another damn software license for external partners.

Connect them via Zapier, and you’ve got a system where CRM actions trigger approvals, and approvals update CRM records – no human babysitting required.

Five Ways This Combo Kills Corporate Drag

1. New Client Onboarding That Doesn’t Suck

The Problem: Sales reps create accounts in Salesdash, then chase managers for days to get them approved. Meanwhile, ops teams duplicate work in spreadsheets.

The Fix: Auto-trigger approval requests in ApproveThis when new accounts hit Salesdash. Legal reviews NDAs, finance checks credit terms – all in one thread. Approved? Salesdash auto-updates the account status. Denied? Rep gets notified without five forwarded emails.

Real-World Win: A 200-person SaaS company cut account approval time from 3 days to 4 hours. Their secret? Approval thresholds that auto-approve small accounts under $10K MRR.

2. Deals That Don’t Die in Committee

The Problem: Your biggest deals get stuck waiting for exec sign-off. Your smallest deals get bogged down in the same process.

The Fix: Trigger ApproveThis workflows from Salesdash deals. Use calculated fields to route based on deal size – $100K+ deals go to CRO, under $25K auto-approve. Approved deals automatically move to “Closed-Won” in Salesdash. Denied? CRM notes get updated with reasons.

Pro Tip: Add ApproveThis’ email-based approvals so execs can approve from their phones between meetings. No logins, no BS.

3. Contacts That Don’t Ghost You

The Problem: Marketing captures leads, but they rot in spreadsheets waiting for sales team approval to become CRM contacts.

The Fix: New ApproveThis requests auto-create Salesdash contacts once approved. Set rules like “If lead score >80, auto-approve.” Sales gets warm leads, not stale spreadsheets.

Who This Nails It For: Agencies managing 50+ client contacts monthly. Approve vendors or client contacts without giving them CRM access.

4. Tasks That Actually Get Approved (Before They’re Irrelevant)

The Problem: Field teams create tasks in Salesdash, but wait days for manager approval. Result? “Install equipment” tasks approved after the client’s deadline.

The Fix: Auto-send tasks over $2K budget for approval. Use ApproveThis’ escalation rules – if no response in 12 hours, notify the manager’s boss. Approved tasks auto-update in Salesdash with priority flags.

5. Audit Trails That Don’t Require a Detective

The Problem: Compliance asks who approved last quarter’s $200K deal. You spend hours digging through emails and Slack threads.

The Fix: Every ApproveThis decision logs in Salesdash CRM notes. See who approved what, when, and why – tied directly to the CRM record. Legal team stops having panic attacks.

Setup That’s Simpler Than Your Morning Coffee

No, really. If you can use a toaster, you can connect these systems:

1. Zapier Account: Sign up at Zapier (free tier works)
2. Pick Your Trigger: “New Deal in Salesdash” or “Approval Completed in ApproveThis”
3. Map Fields: Connect deal amounts to approval thresholds, approval notes to CRM comments
4. Test: Approve a test deal. Watch CRM update automatically. Feel like a wizard.

Total time? 15 minutes. Less time than your last team sync about “improving approval processes.”

Why This Isn’t Just Another Integration

Most CRM-approval combos just shuffle data. This actually closes loops. Key differences:

Approvals That Respect the Food Chain: Salesdash knows the deal size. ApproveThis routes it to the right approver. No more VP approvals for $50 SaaS subscriptions.

External Approvers Without the Headache: Clients or vendors approve directly via email. No Salesdash licenses needed. No “Can you resend the login?” emails.

Escalations That Actually Work: Approver OOO? ApproveThis auto-reassigns. Salesdash tasks get updated owners. Deals don’t stall.

Teams That Get Superpowers

Sales Ops:

Stop being the approval police. Set rules once, let deals flow. Use real-time dashboards to spot bottlenecks (looking at you, legal team).

Finance:

Auto-approve PO requests under $5K. Get only the big stuff. Sync approved budgets directly to Salesdash deals.

Field Teams:

Submit equipment requests via Salesdash tasks. Get approvals before the client call ends. No more “I’ll get back to you.”

The Bottom Line: Approval Fatigue Is Optional

You’re not stuck choosing between speed and control. With ApproveThis and Salesdash CRM:

• Deals close 2x faster (actual client result)
• Ops teams cut approval-related busywork by 60%
• Clients stop asking “Did you get my approval?”

This isn’t about software. It’s about eliminating the crap that makes talented people hate their jobs.

Do This Now

Register for ApproveThis, connect your Salesdash CRM via Zapier, and automate your first approval flow. Or book a demo if you’re the cautious type. Either way, stop letting approval chaos dictate your team’s velocity.

Pro tip: The first team to try this usually becomes the office hero. Just saying.
