When "Just Hit Send" Goes Wrong
We've all seen it - the rogue newsletter that went out with last quarter's pricing. The campaign that accidentally included unvetted leads. The compliance team's collective groan when someone skips the review process. This is what happens when your email marketing tools and approval workflows live in separate universes.
ApproveThis and FeedBlitz fix this through Zapier, creating a bridge between your "move fast" marketing engine and your "measure twice, cut once" approval processes. Let's talk about why mid-sized companies (50-5,000 employees) handling multiple campaigns need this integration like plants need water.
What Happens When Approval Meets Automation
FeedBlitz handles the heavy lifting of email campaigns and audience management. ApproveThis handles the guardrails. Together via Zapier, they create a system where:
- New subscribers get vetted before hitting your lists
- Unsubscribes trigger retention reviews
- Campaign changes require explicit sign-offs
The magic? Approvers don't need FeedBlitz logins. Your external legal team or client stakeholders can approve/deny directly via email while your marketers keep working in FeedBlitz. No license juggling, no app switching.
Real-World Use Cases That Don't Suck
1. Filtering Tire-Kickers From Serious Leads
Say you're a B2B SaaS company using FeedBlitz for lead nurturing. Every new subscriber from a webinar trigger an ApproveThis workflow. Sales ops reviews lead source and engagement score before approving their addition to the campaign. Denied? They get a different nurture path. This stops unqualified leads from skewing your analytics.
2. Preventing Brand Embarrassment 101
E-commerce teams: Imagine approving daily deal campaigns through ApproveThis before they hit FeedBlitz. Pricing errors get caught when finance reviews the approval request. Out-of-stock items get flagged by inventory teams. Bonus? Use ApproveThis' calculated fields to auto-flag discounts over 50% for extra scrutiny.
3. The Graceful Exit Strategy
When someone unsubscribes (FeedBlitz trigger), ApproveThis can route the request to customer success. Maybe they offer a "we'll miss you" discount or check for recurring billing issues. 80% of churn can be prevented with timely intervention - this integration makes that possible without manual tracking.
Setup That Won't Make You Want to Swear
Connect FeedBlitz and ApproveThis in Zapier in three steps:
- Create a new Zap
- Set FeedBlitz triggers (new subscriber, unsubscribe, etc.)
- Map to ApproveThis actions (create request, update lists)
Pro tip: Use ApproveThis' conditional logic to route high-value leads to execs for fast-tracking while lower tiers go to junior staff. Vacation delegation ensures nobody bottlenecks approvals during holidays.
Why Your Teams Will Actually Like This
Marketing Operations
No more spreadsheet gymnastics to track who approved what. Real-time dashboards show campaign status, and calculated fields auto-flag campaigns exceeding budget thresholds. Your team looks competent when legal isn't cleaning up messes.
Finance & Legal
They approve/deny via email without learning FeedBlitz. Automatic audit trails prove compliance. Approval thresholds mean small discounts auto-approve while big ones get eyes. Less work, more control - exactly what they want.
Customer Success
Unsubscribe approvals let them save relationships instead of finding out post-churn. Approval groups mean sales, support, and account managers can consensus-vote on retention offers.
The Quiet Power of Approval Thresholds
Most teams miss this: Set FeedBlitz campaign budgets in ApproveThis to auto-approve minor edits but require sign-off on changes exceeding $10k. If a marketer tries to increase send volume by 300%, it routes to the CMO. No bureaucracy for small stuff, safeguards for big bets.
Why This Beats Manual Processes
Without integration: Marketers beg for approvals over Slack. Someone forgets to check a thread. Campaigns delay. With ApproveThis+FeedBlitz: Requests auto-generate, approvers get deadline reminders, and approved campaigns deploy instantly. The time from "idea" to "inbox" gets slashed by 65% based on average customer data.
Common Objections (And How to Shut Them Down)
"We don't need more tools." - Your existing FeedBlitz isn't going anywhere. ApproveThis layers on top like insurance.
"Approvals will slow us down." - Auto-approved thresholds and parallel approvals actually speed up compliant launches.
"Our process works fine." - Said every team before a compliance violation. This is like seatbelts - you only miss them when things go wrong.
Getting Started Without the BS
If you're using FeedBlitz seriously, you need approval guardrails. Here's how to start clean:
1. Identify 2-3 campaigns where errors hurt most (pricing, legal disclaimers, lead segments)
2. Build matching approval workflows in ApproveThis
3. Connect via Zapier in under an hour
Test with a small campaign group, then expand. Most customers see ROI within 30 days from reduced errors alone.
The Bottom Line
FeedBlitz handles the "send." ApproveThis handles the "should we?" Together via Zapier, they stop preventable mistakes while keeping campaigns moving fast. For companies scaling past 50 employees, this isn't luxury - it's liability protection.
Next step: Register for ApproveThis and connect your FeedBlitz account in under an hour. Or book a demo to see how approval thresholds can auto-approve 40% of your requests from day one.
