ApproveThis manages your E-junkie Integration approvals.

Why Pair ApproveThis with E-junkie? (Hint: Your Finance Team Will Thank You)

Let’s cut to the chase – if you’re using E-junkie to sell digital products or physical goods, you’re already ahead of the game. But here’s the kicker: every sale, refund request, or custom order still needs human sign-off somewhere. That’s where most companies faceplant. ApproveThis plugs directly into those gaps through Zapier, turning “Hey, can you approve this?” Slack chaos into a process that doesn’t make your team want to quit.

E-junkie handles the transaction. ApproveThis handles the decision-making. Together, they automate the bureaucratic middle child of your operations – approvals – without requiring your approvers to log into yet another system. Especially useful when dealing with external partners or clients who shouldn’t need access to your E-junkie backend.

Your New Anti-Bottleneck Weapon

Here’s what happens when you connect these two through Zapier:

• Sales don’t get stuck waiting: New E-junkie sales automatically create approval requests with all relevant data attached
• Decisions trigger actions: Approved requests in ApproveThis can automatically fulfill orders or update E-junkie records

The magic sauce? Approvers interact via email – no new logins, no hunting through systems. Even your least tech-savvy vendor can click “Approve” without calling your help desk.

Real-World Use Cases That Don’t Suck

1. Killing Custom Order Chaos (For Creators & Agencies)

Picture this: A design agency uses E-junkie to sell logo packages. Client adds a “rush fee” for 24-hour delivery. Without automation:

→ Sales rep has to Slack the design lead → Lead checks capacity → Maybe responds in 2 hours → Client wonders why they’re paying rush fees

With the integration:

1. E-junkie sale with rush fee triggers ApproveThis request
2. Design lead gets email: “Can handle this by Thursday? [Approve/Reject]”
3. Approval automatically updates E-junkie order status
4. Client gets confirmation email before they check their inbox

2. Bulk Sales Without the Spreadsheet Hell (For Publishers & Wholesalers)

Educational publisher sells PDF bundles to schools. Procurement manager needs to buy 500 licenses at custom pricing. Old way:

→ Email chain with 3 departments → Version 8 of a Google Sheet → “Did we agree on $4.75 or $4.95?”

Automated way:

1. E-junkie custom order form submission
2. ApproveThis routes to: Sales (price check) → Legal (terms) → Finance (PO)
3. Each approval step adds notes/edits
4. Final approval triggers E-junkie invoice

Setup That Doesn’t Require an IT Degree

Here’s the skinny on getting this live:

1. Create a Zapier account (free tier works)
2. Choose E-junkie’s “New Sale” trigger
3. Connect to ApproveThis’ “Create Request” action
4. Map E-junkie data (order total, customer email) to approval fields
5. Test with a $1 test product

Total time? About 15 minutes if you’ve used Zapier before. Less time than your last pointless standup meeting.

Which Teams Get Their Lives Changed?

Finance Teams

Instead of manually checking every discount over 15%: Set approval thresholds in ApproveThis. Sales can offer up to 15% automatically – anything higher routes to finance. All tracked for audit season.

Operations Teams

Custom orders no longer slip through cracks. Production lead gets automated approval requests with all specs attached. Rejections automatically notify sales to renegotiate.

Executive Teams

CEOs get summary digests instead of 50 “Need your OK” emails. Bonus: Vacation mode auto-forwards approvals when they’re off-grid.

But Wait – There’s Actual Features Under the Hood

This isn’t just about passing data between apps. The combo solves real headaches:

Approval Escalations: If your warehouse manager doesn’t approve a bulk order in 24hrs, it automatically bumps to their boss. No more “Sorry, missed the email” excuses.

Dynamic Calculations: Automatically flag orders where discounts + shipping costs drop margins below 20%. Those always require CFO approval.

Client-Proof: External approvers (like a client’s legal team) can approve contract changes without seeing your internal E-junkie stats.

Common Questions From People Who Hate Hype

“What if we need multiple approvals?”
Set sequential or parallel approval chains. New product launch? Require marketing + legal + CEO sign-off in order.

“Our approval rules change seasonally…”
Duplicate workflows in ApproveThis. Q4 holiday rules vs. summer hours get their own processes.

“We use E-junkie with Shopify/WordPress…”
Cool – Zapier handles multi-app workflows. Example: E-junkie sale → ApproveThis → approved → update both E-junkie and your CMS.

Bottom Line: This Isn’t About Automation – It’s About Sanity

Approvals aren’t going away. But manual approval processes belong in the same grave as fax machines and “reply all” email chains. By connecting E-junkie and ApproveThis, you’re not just speeding things up – you’re creating an audit trail, enforcing compliance, and (god forbid) making approvals somewhat bearable.

Next step: If you’ve got E-junkie running but still use email threads for approvals, register for ApproveThis. Free 14-day trial – no “sales exploration call” required. Or if you prefer human interaction, book a 12-minute demo. We promise not to drone on about “synergy.”
