ApproveThis manages your MasterIN Integration approvals.
When CRM Meets Approval Muscle
Let's be real: chasing down approvals sucks. Especially when your team's stuck between a CRM like MasterIN (where leads go to live) and the email thread hell of "Hey, can someone sign off on this?" That's where slapping ApproveThis onto MasterIN via Zapier becomes your secret weapon.
MasterIN's great at wrangling leads and training data. ApproveThis? It's the bouncer at the door of your business decisions. Together, they turn "Did we approve that?" into a closed-loop system that even your busiest execs can't ignore. No more lost requests. No more guessing who's responsible. Just clear, auditable, fast decisions.
Why This Combo Hits Different
Most CRMs have basic approval features. But when you're dealing with complex deals, compliance-heavy industries, or approvals that need input from multiple departments? That's where duct-taping tools fails. Hard.
ApproveThis brings three things MasterIN (and most CRMs) can't:
- Multi-team muscle: Require legal + finance + project leads to sign off? ApproveThis routes it without making them share a CRM license.
- No-escape notifications: Approvers get emailed links that actually work. No login required. Perfect for external partners.
- Escalation protocols: If Susan from accounting's on vacation, requests auto-jump to her backup. No manual babysitting.
Example: A university using MasterIN for postgraduate programs needs faculty approval for new course proposals. With ApproveThis, they set thresholds - proposals under $5k auto-approve, over that amount trigger a dean review. All tracked in one dashboard.
Real-World Use Cases That Don't Suck
Lead Qualification That Doesn't Leak Revenue
New lead hits MasterIN → ApproveThis pings sales lead to vet if it's worth pursuing. No more junior reps wasting 3 days on a client who can't afford your services.
Training Budgets That Stay Un-Blowable
Employee submits MasterIN course request → ApproveThis checks remaining department budget → auto-approves if funds exist, escalates to CFO if over limit. All before 9 AM coffee breaks.
Partnership Deals That Don't Ghost You
MasterIN tracks partner interest → ApproveThis routes contract terms to legal, then sales. Sequential approvals mean no one steps on toes. Miss a deadline? The system nudges them, not you.
Setting This Up Without Losing Your Mind
Zapier's the glue here. No coding. Just connect MasterIN to ApproveThis in 15 minutes:
- Pick your trigger in MasterIN (new lead, course request, etc.)
- Map key data points to ApproveThis fields (amounts, contacts, dates)
- Set approval rules: Who approves what, in which order, with which thresholds
Pro tip: Use ApproveThis' calculated fields to auto-flag requests needing special handling. Like any training request over $10k gets CFO review, others auto-approve.
Who Wins in Your Company
Sales Teams
Stop losing deals because legal took 2 weeks to review a contract. Set sequential approvals where sales ops handles basics, legal only jumps in for red flags. Approvers get clear context from MasterIN data.
Finance Departments
Kill the spreadsheet approval tracking. Now every MasterIN procurement request hits ApproveThis with budget data pre-attached. Thresholds auto-approve small spends, escalate big ones. Audit trails built-in.
HR & Training
Employees request courses via MasterIN → ApproveThis checks remaining training budgets and manager approvals. Vacation delegation means no delays when managers are OOO.
But Wait, There's Actual Features
This isn't just about kicking emails around. The combo gives you:
Role-based dashboards: Sales leads see pending deal approvals. Finance sees budget-related holds. All pulled from MasterIN data but filtered by their needs.
Auto-expiring requests: Set SLAs. If a MasterIN partner contract isn't approved in 72hrs, it auto-denies. No limbo.
Approval templates: One-click setups for common MasterIN workflows. New lead review vs. partnership agreement vs. budget increase all have their own paths.
Common "Oh, We Thought Of That" Questions
What if approvers hate new systems?
They approve/reject via email. No logins. No training. They click a link, see the MasterIN data they need, hit a button. Done.
Can we change approvers mid-process?
Yep. If someone's out, reassign with one click. All history stays intact. No "Where are we on this?" calls.
How's this different from MasterIN's built-in approvals?
Scale. Try routing a request to 5 departments in MasterIN without paying for 5 licenses. Or handling conditional logic like "Only escalate if over $50k". Can't.
Bottom Line: Approval as a Verb, Not a Bottleneck
Companies between 50-5k employees don't have time for approval babysitting. MasterIN holds your data. ApproveThis manages the humans. Zapier makes them talk without IT help.
The result? Leads don't rot waiting for sign-off. Budgets get tracked in real-time. Training requests align with actual dollars. And you? You stop being the approval nag.
