ApproveThis manages your Meet Alfred Integration approvals.

Why Bother Connecting Your Approval Tool to Your LinkedIn Sidekick?

Let’s cut to the chase: approval bottlenecks are where good campaigns go to die. Marketing’s waiting on legal to approve messaging. Sales can’t get finance to greenlight discount requests. Meanwhile, your LinkedIn leads are getting cold because someone’s stuck in a spreadsheet approval loop.

ApproveThis and Meet Alfred fix this by doing the boring work for you. Think of it like giving your approval processes a caffeine IV drip – suddenly everything moves at the speed your teams actually need to operate.

The Nuts and Bolts of the Integration

Through Zapier, these two tools handle the heavy lifting:

• ApproveThis Triggers: New requests created or approved/denied
• Meet Alfred Actions: Add leads to campaigns, trigger LinkedIn sequences

Translation: When something needs approval in ApproveThis, Meet Alfred immediately acts on that decision without human babysitting. No more "Did you get my Slack about the campaign?" follow-ups.

Three Ways This Combo Actually Gets Used

1. Auto-Escalate High-Value LinkedIn Leads

The Problem: Your SDRs connect with a CTO on LinkedIn. By the time legal approves the custom demo offer, the lead’s already talking to your competitor.

The Fix: New LinkedIn connection → Auto-create approval request in ApproveThis → Once approved, Meet Alfred drops them into a priority nurture sequence.

Real impact: Enterprise software companies using this see 34% faster response times on enterprise leads (actual client metric).

2. Campaign Launches That Don’t Require 17 Approval Emails

The Problem: Marketing’s new LinkedIn ad campaign needs five sign-offs. The back-and-forth eats two weeks. Launch date comes and goes.

The Fix: New Meet Alfred campaign → Auto-generate approval workflow in ApproveThis with all assets attached → Stakeholders approve/comment directly in email → Campaign auto-publishes on final approval.

Bonus: ApproveThis’ calculated fields can auto-approve campaigns under $5k budget, only escalating bigger spends.

3. Compliance Teams Actually Helping Sales (For Once)

The Problem: Sales reps promise discounts that get rejected later, poisoning client relationships.

The Fix: Rep proposes discount in Meet Alfred → Auto-creates ApproveThis request with deal details → Finance approves/denies → Either auto-sends approved offer via LinkedIn or triggers a “Let’s explore other options” sequence.

Key detail: Approval groups in ApproveThis ensure the right people (not just whoever’s inbox the rep spams) make decisions.

Setting This Up Without Losing Your Mind

Zapier makes this stupidly simple – we’re talking 15-minute setup:

1. Connect ApproveThis and Meet Alfred to Zapier
2. Pick your trigger (e.g., “New Approval Request” in ApproveThis)
3. Choose the resulting action (e.g., “Add Lead to Campaign” in Meet Alfred)
4. Map the data fields (approval details → lead info)

Pro tip: Use ApproveThis’ calculated fields to auto-approve routine requests (like standard NDAs) so you’re only handling exceptions.

Who Actually Benefits From This?

Sales Teams

Stop losing deals to approval delays. Example: When a lead hits 75% lead score in Meet Alfred, auto-trigger contract approval in ApproveThis. Legal gets it before the sales call even happens.

Marketing Ops

Launch campaigns faster without herding stakeholders. Approval thresholds mean small A/B test budgets get auto-approved, only major spends need manual review.

Finance

No more surprise discount approvals. Set rules like “Anything over 15% discount requires CFO approval” in ApproveThis. Meet Alfred enforces it at the outreach level.

The Silent Killer Feature Nobody Talks About

ApproveThis approvers don’t need Meet Alfred licenses. Client needs to approve a contract? Vendor needs to sign off on specs? They just get an email. No new logins. No “Can you resend that link?”

This is huge for:

• Agencies getting client approvals on campaigns
• Manufacturers coordinating with suppliers
• Any company dealing with external partners stuck in 1990s workflows

Common Objections (And Why They’re Dumb)

“We’re fine with email approvals.” → Cool, enjoy searching 12 email chains when audit time comes. ApproveThis gives you a searchable paper trail with version control.

“Our CRM has approval workflows.” → Does it handle multi-department approvals with conditional logic? Didn’t think so.

“We’ll just build this in-house.” → How’d that work for your last custom workflow project? Exactly.

Bottom Line

If your company does more than $5M in revenue, you’re wasting real money on manual approvals. Not “maybe” wasting – actual six-figure leaks from delayed campaigns, lost deals, and compliance fires.

ApproveThis + Meet Alfred via Zapier isn’t some “nice to have” – it’s how mid-sized companies punch above their weight against slower enterprise competitors.
