ApproveThis manages your FunnelFLARE Integration approvals.

Two Tools Walk Into a CRM...

Let's cut through the noise: FunnelFLARE helps sales teams move fast. ApproveThis makes sure they don't move too fast. Together, they’re the yin and yang of deal velocity. FunnelFLARE automates the grunt work of sales pipelines while ApproveThis handles the bureaucratic speed bumps – approvals, verifications, and compliance checks. Connect them through Zapier, and you’ve just built an assembly line for revenue.

What Happens When You Plug These Together

FunnelFLARE’s strength is keeping sales teams out of spreadsheets and in conversations. ApproveThis’s superpower is keeping decisions from rotting in inboxes. When integrated:

• New leads get vetted before they clog your pipeline
• Contract changes get approved while the customer’s still on the phone

We’re talking about turning approval bottlenecks into minor speed checks. For companies between 50-5,000 employees, this combo means scaling processes without adding layers of management.

Real Teams Getting Real Results

Scenario 1: The Lead Firehose (And How to Point It)

A cybersecurity firm was drowning in unqualified leads from their webinars. Solution: Every new FunnelFLARE contact automatically triggers an ApproveThis workflow where:

• Sales ops checks company size against ICP criteria
• Legal verifies they’re not on any sanctions lists

Result: 83% reduction in sales reps wasting time on dead-end leads. Bonus: Approvers didn’t need FunnelFLARE licenses – just email access.

Scenario 2: The Contract Tug-of-War

A SaaS company kept losing deals to slow legal reviews. Now, when sales updates a FunnelFLARE contact with special terms:

1. ApproveThis pings legal via email (they approve directly from Outlook)
2. Upon approval, FunnelFLARE auto-generates the amended contract

Deal cycle time dropped 22% in Q1. Legal team’s whiskey consumption dropped 40%.

Why This Isn’t Just Another Integration

Most CRMs bolt on approval features like an afterthought. ApproveThis brings industrial-grade workflow tools to FunnelFLARE without:

• Making approvers learn new software (email approvals work shockingly well)
• Forcing IT to build custom connectors (we’ve seen those horror stories)

The secret sauce? Calculated Fields in ApproveThis can auto-approve discounts up to 15% while escalating bigger asks. Combine that with FunnelFLARE’s deal scoring, and you’ve got a system that knows when to bother humans.

Department-Specific Wins

Sales Teams: Less Admin, More Selling

Reps live in FunnelFLARE. Now their approval requests live there too. Need a discount approved? The workflow:

1. Update opportunity in FunnelFLARE
2. ApproveThis routes to manager based on deal size
3. Approval syncs back as a FunnelFLARE activity

No switching tabs. No “did you get my email?”. Just notifications in the tool they already use.

Operations: Audit Trails That Don’t Suck

Every ApproveThis decision logs to FunnelFLARE as a history item. Now when deals go sideways:

• See who approved what
• View timestamped comments
• Pull reports without SQL queries

Compliance teams get warm fuzzies. Sales ops gets to stop playing detective.

Finance: Guardrails, Not Speed Bumps

Connect ApproveThis’s approval thresholds to FunnelFLARE’s opportunity values:

• Deals under $10k? Auto-approved
• $10k-$50k? Quick team lead review
• Bigger deals? Full committee

Collections even uses it – payment plan requests get approved based on customer health scores from FunnelFLARE.

Setting This Up Without Losing Your Mind

Zapier does the heavy lifting. Basic flow:

1. Pick a trigger in FunnelFLARE (new contact, updated deal, etc.)
2. Map key fields to ApproveThis
3. Set approval rules (thresholds, approvers, escalations)

Pro tip: Use ApproveThis’s Vacation Delegation so deals don’t die when Karen from Legal is in Bora Bora.

The Quiet Killer Feature Nobody Talks About

ApproveThis approvers don’t need FunnelFLARE licenses. For companies with external partners or strict license counts:

• Contractors can approve vendor payments
• Client stakeholders can review SOWs
• Board members can OK big deals

All without cluttering your CRM seat count. Just send them an email link.

When Not to Use This Integration

This isn’t magic fairy dust. If your team:

• Still argues about what “approved” means
• Has approval processes changing weekly

Fix those first. The integration amplifies existing processes – it doesn’t create good ones.

Bottom Line for Decision Makers

FunnelFLARE keeps sales moving. ApproveThis keeps them compliant. Together via Zapier, they’re force multipliers for scaling companies. The math is simple:

Faster approvals × Cleaner data = More closed deals

We’re not saying it’ll make your Q4 quota easy. But it might keep your sales ops director from quitting.
