ApproveThis manages your Agillic Integration approvals.

When Approval Bottlenecks Meet Marketing Automation

Let's cut through the corporate speak: marketing teams move fast, approval processes move slow. Agillic handles the fancy stuff - personalized campaigns, multi-channel blasts, data-driven automations. ApproveThis handles the human stuff - getting six people to sign off on that discount code before it goes live. Together? They make sure your 11th-hour campaign changes don't require actual human sacrifice.

For companies scaling between 50-5,000 employees, this combo solves three ugly problems:

• Marketing ops teams drowning in Slack approval requests
• Legal/compliance bottlenecks delaying campaign launches
• Disconnected systems causing version control nightmares

How It Works (Without The Tech Jargon)

ApproveThis plugs into Agillic via Zapier - no developers required. When something needs approval in Agillic (new customer segment, campaign copy, promo rules), ApproveThis automatically routes it to the right people. Approvers click yes/no in email. Agillic gets the green light. Everyone keeps using the tools they already know.

Why This Isn't Just Another Integration

Most approval tools make external collaborators jump through hoops. With ApproveThis:

• External agencies approve directly via email (no logins)
• Legal teams don't need Agillic licenses to veto problematic copy
• Conditional approvals automatically escalate big-budget items

Real-World Use Cases That Don't Suck

1. Keeping Customer Data Clean Without The Spreadsheet Circus

Agillic's OTM tables are gold for segmentation. But letting every marketer add new fields? That's how you end up with "customer_age" and "userAge" in the same system. The fix:

Automation Flow: New OTM table detected in Agillic → Approval request in ApproveThis → Data team reviews schema → Approved tables sync automatically.

Who loves this: Retail companies managing 50+ customer attributes across POS/ecommerce/CRM systems. Prevents Black Friday campaigns from dying because someone mistyped a discount field.

2. Approval-to-Campaign Launches That Actually Work

Most marketing approvals go like this: 3 days of emails → Final PDF attached → Someone uploads the wrong version. Our version:

Automation Flow: Campaign brief submitted in Agillic → Multi-step approval chain in ApproveThis (legal > brand > CMO) → Approved assets pushed back to Agillic as live content.

Who needs this: Healthcare/Financial Services marketers where compliance isn't optional. Cuts 72-hour approval cycles down to 8 hours with full audit trails.

3. Turning Approval Decisions Into Customer Actions

Wasting time updating CRM records after approvals? That's so 2023.

Automation Flow: Sales discount request approved in ApproveThis → Triggers Agillic event → Personalized offer email fires within 90 seconds.

Real results: A B2B SaaS company used this to reduce their enterprise deal approval-to-fulfillment time from 48 hours to 15 minutes. No joke.

Setup That Doesn't Require an IT Degree

Three steps even your busiest marketing ops person can handle:

1. Connect Agillic and ApproveThis in Zapier (takes 4 minutes)
2. Map your existing approval chains to ApproveThis workflows (another 8 minutes)
3. Test with one campaign asset (because nobody trusts tech until it works)

Pro tip: Start with your most painful approval bottleneck. Usually that's either compliance reviews or multi-region campaign translations.

Department-Specific Wins

For Marketing Teams

Stop playing approval tag. Set up conditional rules in ApproveThis so routine copy edits only need one approver, while pricing changes auto-escalate to the CFO. Bonus: Dynamic fields automatically calculate campaign budgets against remaining quarterly allowances.

For Legal/Compliance

Create approval templates with required checklists ("Patent clearance complete", "Trademark review done"). Vacation delegation ensures someone else gets auto-assigned when your lead counsel is out. Because the law doesn't care about PTO days.

For Customer Support Leaders

When Agillic flags a VIP customer issue, ApproveThis can route compensation offers to the right manager tier. Thresholds auto-approve $50 credits but require director sign-off for $500+ resolutions. All tracked in one dashboard instead of 12 angry Slack threads.

Why This Beats "Just Using Email"

Let's pretend you're approving a new loyalty program through email chains. Now imagine:

- Auto-reminders when approvers ghost
- Version control that actually works
- Automatic fallback approvers when Karen from legal is OOO
- Audit trails that don't require digging through Outlook

ApproveThis adds structure without the bureaucracy. Agillic keeps campaigns moving. Together, they prevent the "who approved this?!" blame game after something goes live.
