ApproveThis manages your Ecanvasser Integration approvals.

Let’s be real – most approval processes suck. They’re either email chains that go silent for days, Slack threads that get buried, or worse: actual paper forms. For teams using Ecanvasser to organize campaigns and manage contacts, this friction isn’t just annoying – it costs you opportunities.

Here’s where ApproveThis comes in. We automate approval workflows so decisions happen at the speed your team actually works. Connect it to Ecanvasser via Zapier, and you’ve got a system where field data triggers instant reviews, leadership can approve/deny from their inbox, and nobody’s waiting on a spreadsheet update.

Why This Combo Works (When Other Tools Don’t)

Ecanvasser excels at managing ground operations – tracking voter contacts, logging supporter interactions, organizing volunteers. But when field teams need sign-off on crucial next steps (funding requests, event approvals, policy changes), things stall. ApproveThis fixes that without making your team learn new software.

Key difference: ApproveThis doesn’t just send emails. It enforces your actual process. Think conditional approvals (“Over $5k? Escalate to CFO”), automatic delegation when someone’s OOO, and real-time tracking so you know exactly why something’s stuck.

Real Teams Using This Integration Right Now

Political Campaigns: From Door Knocks to Decisions

Imagine your canvassers identify 200+ supporters needing absentee ballot help. Normally, staff would manually compile lists, email supervisors, then wait. With Ecanvasser > ApproveThis:

• New “Absentee Assistance” contacts auto-create approval requests
• Campaign managers get email alerts with voter details + pre-filled approval button
• Approved? Volunteers auto-receive outreach assignments via Ecanvasser

Why it matters: What took 3 days now happens in 3 hours. No volunteers sitting idle. No missed deadlines.

Commercial Canvassing: Turning Leads Into Revenue Faster

Sales teams using Ecanvasser for B2B door-knocking waste days getting pricing approvals. Typical scenario:

• Rep logs promising lead in Ecanvasser
• Manually emails sales director with deal details
• Director misses email, rep can’t follow up

With the integration:

New Ecanvasser interactions trigger approval requests with deal size, notes, and custom pricing thresholds. Sales directors approve/deny via email in seconds. Approved deals push back to Ecanvasser with next steps. Denied? Reps get instant feedback to adjust their pitch.

Beyond Basic Approvals: Features Teams Actually Use

ApproveThis isn’t just a rubber stamp machine. These features matter when scaling:

Approval Thresholds: Auto-approve small budget requests, but escalate anything over $10k to the right person. No more bottlenecking on minor decisions.

Vacation Coverage: Campaign manager out rallying? Approvals auto-reassign so nothing stalls.

Calculated Fields: Automatically flag high-priority contacts based on interaction history. Approvers see urgency at a glance.

Setup That Takes Minutes, Not Days

If you’ve used Zapier before, this is stupid simple:

1. Zap Template: Use the pre-built “Ecanvasser New Contact → ApproveThis Request” zap
2. Connect Accounts: Log into Ecanvasser and ApproveThis via Zapier
3. Map Fields: Pull Ecanvasser data (contact info, interaction notes) into your approval request
4. Add Approvers: Assign who needs to sign off – no Ecanvasser license required for them

Pro tip: Add a calculated field in ApproveThis to auto-flag contacts matching high-value criteria (e.g., donors over $500).

Who Benefits Most (Besides Your Sanity)

Field Teams: Stop babysitting approval requests. Get real-time yes/no decisions while still in the neighborhood.

Ops Managers: Track every approval’s status in one dashboard. No more “I thought Sarah handled that?”

Finance: Set budget guardrails without micromanaging every request. Auto-escalate anything fishy.

External Partners: Let vendors, volunteers, or regional leads submit requests without access to Ecanvasser.

No More “Approval Black Holes”

Traditional approval processes fail because they’re disconnected from where work actually happens. By linking Ecanvasser’s ground-level data with ApproveThis’s structured workflows, you create a system where:

- Every request has clear ownership
- Approvers can act in seconds from any device
- Denials include feedback loops to improve future requests

Common Objections (And Why They’re Wrong)

“We’re fine with email approvals.”
Cool. How many expired contracts, missed follow-ups, or duplicate efforts happened last quarter? Exactly.

“Our process is too complex.”
Good news – ApproveThis handles multi-step, conditional, and consensus-based approvals. Yours isn’t special.

Getting Started Without the BS

If you’re using Ecanvasser for anything mission-critical, you need this. Not because we say so, but because your competitors are already doing it.

PS: If you’re still manually approving stuff in 2024, at least tell your team you’re sorry.
