Why This Integration Isn't Just Another Zap
Let's cut through the noise: most "integrations" are just digital duct tape. But when you connect ApproveThis (the approval engine) with GetEmail.io (the email-finding sidekick), you're not just moving data - you're eliminating entire layers of bureaucratic sludge. For companies between 50-5,000 employees, this combo solves two critical problems:
1. Approval paralysis: Teams waiting days for sign-offs because nobody can track down decision-makers' emails
2. Contact roulette: Sales/Marketing guessing games with unverified email addresses that tank campaign performance
We'll show exactly how middle-market companies use this integration to shave 3+ days off procurement cycles, reduce sales team email bounce rates by 60%, and finally get legal/leadership teams to actually respond to approval requests.
The Approval-Email Verification Feedback Loop
ApproveThis handles the who approves what when. GetEmail.io handles the how do we even reach these people. Together through Zapier, they create what our customers call a "closed-loop system for getting shit signed off":
How It Works in Practice
Scenario: Your procurement team needs CFO approval for a $250k SaaS purchase.
Old Way: Email thread with 12 CC'd people, 3 "Per My Last Email" follow-ups, 1 angry vendor
New Way:
1. Request created in ApproveThis with vendor contract PDF
2. Zapier automatically pulls CFO's verified email from GetEmail.io using their name & domain
3. CFO gets approval request directly in inbox, clicks approve
4. Procurement gets auto-notified in Slack with audit trail
The kicker? Approvers don't need ApproveThis licenses - critical when dealing with external partners or execs who refuse to learn new tools.
Real-World Use Cases (Not Just Theory)
1. Sales Operations: From Lead to Contract in Hours, Not Weeks
Mid-market SaaS companies use this integration to solve two problems:
- Legal taking 5 days to approve NDAs for new deals
- Sales development reps wasting 30% of their time verifying exec emails
The Fix:
When SDRs find a lead in Salesforce:
→ Zapier triggers GetEmail.io to find CTO's verified email
→ Auto-creates ApproveThis request with NDA doc for legal review
→ Legal team approves/denies directly from email
→ Approved? Contact info auto-updates in Salesforce
Result: Enterprise sales teams at companies like [Redacted] cut NDA turnaround from 5 days to 8 hours.
2. Marketing Teams: Killing Influencer Contract Gridlock
50% of influencer campaigns get delayed because:
- Legal can't verify influencer rep emails
- Finance won't approve invoices without PO numbers
- CMO needs final sign-off but is traveling
The Fix:
When new influencer added to Airtable:
→ GetEmail.io finds agent/brand manager emails
→ ApproveThis creates parallel approvals:
• Legal (contract terms)
• Finance (payment terms)
• CMO (via email with vacation delegation to CMO's VP)
Result: Health supplement company scaled from 20 to 200 influencers/month without adding headcount.
Setting This Up Without an IT Ticket
Requires:
- Zapier account (Free tier works)
- ApproveThis subscription
- GetEmail.io credits (usage-based pricing)
Basic Configuration
1. Zapier Trigger: Choose your starting point
- Option A: New GetEmail.io search → Create ApproveThis request
- Option B: New ApproveThis request → Find email via GetEmail.io
2. Map Custom Fields: Match names/domains to GetEmail.io inputs
3. Set Approval Logic: Add thresholds, groups, or conditional steps in ApproveThis
4. Test with $0.01 GetEmail.io credit: Verify emails flow into approval requests
Pro Tip: Use ApproveThis' Calculated Fields to auto-flag high-risk requests (e.g., emails from disposable domains).
Who Gets Their Time Back?
Sales Teams
- No more "Hey finance, can you approve this?" Slack DMs
- Auto-escalate deals over $250k to VP Sales via approval thresholds
- Verified emails = 25% fewer bounced sequences
Procurement Teams
- Automatic 3-bid RFQ approvals with vendor emails from GetEmail.io
- Delegated approvals when category managers are OOO
- Real-time dashboards showing stuck contracts
Marketing Teams
- Approve influencer content rights without tracking 20 Docusign links
- Auto-reject requests missing FTC disclaimer clauses
- Sync approved vendor emails directly to your MarTech stack
The Hidden Advantage: No More App Switching
Most approval tools make approvers log into yet another portal. With ApproveThis' email-based approvals and GetEmail.io's verified contacts:
- External partners approve via email (no accounts needed)
- Executives approve from phones without 2FA hell
- Operations teams maintain one system of record
A manufacturing company used this to get 90%+ compliance from 200+ external suppliers - because vendors just had to reply "Approved" to an email.
How To Stop Chasing Approvals Tomorrow
If your company has:
- 50+ employees
- At least 3 approval-dependent processes (contracts, POs, content)
- One "email hunter" person wasting time on LinkedIn searches
