ApproveThis manages your Ignition Integration approvals.

Let’s be real: getting clients to sign off on proposals feels like herding cats. Ignition makes the proposal part easy, but then you’re stuck chasing down approvals via email, spreadsheets, or worse – hallway ambushes. ApproveThis fixes that by automating the “yes” (or “no”) so you can stop babysitting paperwork and get back to work.

Why This Combo Works Like a Swiss Watch

Ignition handles the flashy proposals and payments. ApproveThis handles the boring (but critical) sign-offs. Together, they’re like a self-driving car for your client processes. No more lost emails. No more “I thought you approved this?” moments. Just proposals turning into projects faster.

Who Actually Cares About This Integration?

If your company has more than 50 people, you’ve got at least three departments tripping over each other during approvals. Marketing needs legal to vet a campaign. Sales needs finance to greenlight a discount. Operations needs client signatures yesterday. This integration cuts the cross-team drama.

Consulting Firms: Stop Leaving Money on the Table

Imagine this: Your team finishes a killer Ignition proposal for a new cybersecurity audit. Instead of emailing it to the client’s IT director and hoping they remember to open it, ApproveThis automatically triggers an approval workflow. The director gets an email with one-click approve/reject. If they ghost you, ApproveThis escalates it to their boss after 48 hours. No more stalled deals because someone forgot to hit “reply.”

Agencies: Kill the Creative Bottleneck

Your design team uses Ignition to scope a website redesign. The client’s marketing lead approves the proposal, but their legal team needs to sign off on the contract terms. With ApproveThis, you set up a two-step approval: legal gets the contract automatically after the initial sign-off. Bonus: Use calculated fields to auto-approve small change orders (under $500) so you’re not waiting on a VP for every comma change.

How It Works (The Non-Boring Version)

Zapier acts as the messenger between Ignition and ApproveThis. No coding, just checkboxes. Here’s the simple version:

1. Trigger: A proposal gets finalized in Ignition.
2. Action: Zapier tells ApproveThis to start an approval workflow.
3. Magic: Approvers get emails (even if they’ve never logged into Ignition). They click approve. Ignition gets the “yes” and kicks off the project.

Setup for the Impatient

1. Open Zapier.
2. Choose “Ignition Proposal Completed” as trigger.
3. Select “Create Request in ApproveThis” as action.
4. Map Ignition fields to ApproveThis (takes 2 minutes).
5. Test with a real proposal. Pop champagne when it works.

Teams That Win With This Combo

Sales: Close Deals Before Competitors Wake Up

Your reps send proposals via Ignition. ApproveThis automatically routes them to the client’s decision-makers. If the CFO needs to approve budgets, set up sequential approvals so finance gets it after the main contact says yes. Deals move 3x faster because nobody’s playing phone tag.

Finance: No More Invoice Black Holes

Ignition invoices over $10K? ApproveThis can require CFO approval first. Set thresholds so smaller invoices auto-approve. If the CFO’s on vacation, it auto-reassigns to their deputy. Real-time tracking means you know exactly who’s holding things up (and can nudge them).

Operations: Client Onboarding That Doesn’t Suck

New client request in ApproveThis? Zapier can create their profile in Ignition automatically. All their contract terms, approval contacts, and billing info flow over without manual entry. 80% less admin work means your team actually has time to, you know, deliver the work.

The Nerd Stuff ApproveThis Brings to the Party

Approval thresholds: Auto-approve small change orders. Escalate big ones.
Vacation rules: No more “out of office” approval delays.
Calculated fields: Automatically check if proposals meet margin targets before sending for approval.
Audit trails: Every decision is logged. Perfect for compliance audits or covering your ass.

What You Don’t Get With This Integration

• Mind reading (yet). You still need to set up workflows.
• A cure for clients who hate all your ideas.
• Fancy AI. Just straightforward automation that works.

Real Talk: When This Isn’t a Fit

If your company has one person making all decisions, keep using email. But if you’re scaling past 50 employees with multiple departments or client stakeholders, manual approvals will drive you insane. This combo keeps processes from breaking as you grow.

Try It or Regret It

ApproveThis has a free tier. Ignition does too. Zapier connects them for free. There’s zero reason to keep losing deals to slow approvals. Sign up for ApproveThis, connect it to Ignition in 20 minutes, and see how many hours you get back this week.
