When Form Meets Function
Let's cut to the chase: Tapform's quiz-style forms are genius at getting strangers to spill their details. But what happens after that lead hits your CRM? If your sales team is still playing email tennis with finance to approve discounts, or your ops crew is manually vetting every vendor application, you're leaving money and time on the table.
That's where ApproveThis comes in - not as another tool to clutter your stack, but as the missing link between capturing leads and actually doing something with them. We're talking automated approval workflows that kick in the second a Tapform submission lands, complete with conditional logic that would make a chess grandmaster proud.
Why This Combo Hits Different
Most companies use forms as digital paperwork - collect info, store it somewhere, then forget it exists until someone needs to dig through spreadsheets. The ApproveThis-Tapform integration via Zapier flips that script. Now your forms become actual decision engines:
For the Numbers People
Imagine a $250K enterprise lead comes through your Tapform pricing calculator. Instead of that request gathering dust in someone's inbox, ApproveThis automatically:
- Routes it to your CRO and CFO
- Checks against your existing client list for conflicts
- Approves standard 15% discounts instantly
- Flags anything over 20% for manual review
For the "Move Fast" Crowd
Marketing teams love that approvers don't need Tapform logins. Your channel partners can approve co-op funding requests directly from their phones, contractors can greenlight project specs without getting access to your main systems - it's all the upside of collaboration without the security nightmares.
Real-World Scenarios That Don't Suck
Let's get specific about how mid-sized companies are using this combo to actually make their lives easier:
The Agency Playbook
Digital agencies using Tapform for client onboarding see 60% faster project starts. Here's why: When a new client submits their brand guidelines through Tapform, ApproveThis automatically:
- Routes files to the right creative director based on client industry
- Checks project scope against current team capacity
- Triggers contract signing if all boxes are checked
No more "Hey, did you see that onboarding request from 3 days ago?" Slacks.
E-commerce Inventory Hacks
One of our customers (a 200-person DTC brand) uses Tapform for vendor applications. Their ops team setup ApproveThis thresholds so any supplier with:
- Under $10k order value auto-approves
- $10k-$50k needs warehouse manager sign-off
- Over $50k triggers a cross-department review
They cut procurement time from 2 weeks to 48 hours. Not bad for a Zap that takes 15 minutes to setup.
Department-Specific Wins
Marketing Teams: Stop Leaving Money on the Table
When your Tapform lead quiz identifies a high-value prospect, ApproveThis can:
- Auto-route custom demo requests to specialized sales reps
- Approve one-time offers in real-time during live chats
- Escalate enterprise leads before competitors even know they're shopping
Bonus: Set up calculated fields to auto-approve discounts based on lead score. Your SDRs will kiss you.
Operations: Be the Efficiency Hero
Using Tapform for internal equipment requests? Layer in ApproveThis to:
- Check budget remaining in real-time
- Require IT approval for tech purchases
- Auto-decline requests when approvers are OOO (that vacation delegation feature is clutch)
Finance: Keep the Wolves at Bay
Connect Tapform expense reports to ApproveThis for:
- Instant policy violation checks
- Auto-approve recurring vendor payments under $5k
- Flag duplicate submissions across departments
Pro tip: Set thresholds to auto-approve routine stuff so you only see exceptions. Your sanity will thank you.
Setting This Up Without Losing Your Mind
Here's the no-BS guide to getting live in under an hour:
- Connect Tapform and ApproveThis in Zapier
- Choose your trigger (New Lead is the obvious starting point)
- Map Tapform fields to ApproveThis request templates
- Set approval rules based on lead data (deal size, location, whatever matters)
- Test with real submissions (protip: use your CEO's info for laughs)
Key thing to remember: ApproveThis approvers don't need Tapform seats. That client's procurement head who still uses AOL email? They can approve your contract from their inbox like it's 1999.
Why This Isn't Just Another Integration
Most "integrations" are just data handoffs. This combo actually changes how decisions get made:
For leadership: See approval bottlenecks in real dashboards instead of guessing
For teams: Stop being human routers between departments
For finance: Enforce policies without being the bad guy
And because ApproveThis sits on top of your existing tools, there's no "rip and replace" drama. It's like adding GPS to your current car instead of buying a new one.
Time to Stop Approving and Start Doing
Look - if your team is still forwarding Tapform submissions as email attachments or (god forbid) printing them out for wet signatures, you're not just inefficient. You're actively annoying everyone who works with you.
The ApproveThis-Tapform integration via Zapier isn't about chasing shiny objects. It's about finally making your tech stack work for you instead of the other way around. Set up takes less time than your next pointless sync meeting, and the ROI? Let's just say you'll wish you'd done this before Q4 crunch time hit.
Book a 15-minute demo and we'll show you exactly how to turn form submissions into closed deals before your coffee gets cold. Or keep doing things manually - your competitors will thank you.
