ApproveThis manages your Netcore Cloud Integration approvals.

Integration Category: Marketing Automation
Let's cut to the chase: marketing moves fast, but approvals move like molasses. Between campaign launches, content reviews, and budget sign-offs, you're constantly waiting on someone's inbox-rotting email thread. That's why pairing ApproveThis with Netcore Cloud via Zapier isn't just convenient – it's a straight-up survival tactic for teams that need to move quickly without breaking process.
Why This Combo Works Like a Well-Oiled Machine
Netcore Cloud handles the heavy lifting of customer journeys and form submissions. ApproveThis handles the bureaucratic red tape. Together through Zapier, they create a clear paper trail without the paper cuts. Think of it as giving your marketing ops team an auto-pilot button for compliance stuff.
Where This Duo Shines
We're not talking about some theoretical "maybe this could work" integration. This combo solves three specific headaches:
- Budget approvals that don't disappear into accounting black holes
Automatically route Netcore campaign spend requests through pre-defined approval chains. Finance gets clear context, marketing gets faster green lights. - Content reviews that actually finish before launch dates
Turn form submissions from your Netcore landing pages into approval tasks. Legal sees exactly what needs reviewing, no chasing down attachments.
Real-World Use Cases (No Fluff Edition)
Let's break down exactly how mid-sized companies use this setup:
1. Killing the "Who Approved This?" Game
A regional bank uses Netcore forms for new credit card promo submissions. Every submission now auto-triggers an ApproveThis workflow requiring compliance + marketing director sign-off. Approvers get email links to review the exact Netcore submission data without needing Netcore logins. Result? Audit trails that don't require IT forensics.
2. Stopping Budget Surprises
An e-commerce company ties Netcore campaign briefs to approval thresholds. Any paid media plan over $5k gets auto-routed to the CFO. Under $5k? Auto-approved based on their rules. Finance stays in the loop without micromanaging every Facebook ad.
3. Scaling Partner Co-Marketing
A SaaS company uses Netcore forms for joint webinar registrations. Each partner submission kicks off an ApproveThis checklist: legal reviews contracts, marketing confirms branding alignment. Partners only see status updates – no backchannel Slack pings.
Setup That Takes Less Time Than Your Daily Standup
Here's the brass tacks on connecting these two:
- Create a Zapier account (if you don't have one - it's free to start)
- Set Netcore Cloud as your trigger app ("New Form Submission")
- Choose ApproveThis as your action app ("Create Approval Request")
- Map Netcore form fields to your approval template (protip: use calculated fields for auto-totaling budgets)
Total config time? 15 minutes if you're slow at dragging form fields. Less if you've had coffee.
Why Your Team Leads Will Actually Use This
For Marketing Ops: No more manually forwarding Netcore submissions or recreating request forms. Your Zaps handle the grunt work while you focus on actual strategy.
For Finance: Approval thresholds mean they only see spend requests that actually need their eyes. Automatic escalation prevents $20k mistakes "someone thought was approved."
For External Partners: Clients/agencies submit via Netcore like normal, but get ApproveThis status updates without access to your internal systems. Professionalism without the access management nightmare.
The Nuts and Bolts You Care About
ApproveThis isn't just a rubber stamp tool. When connected to Netcore via Zapier, you unlock:
Email approvals that don't suck: Approvers can review full request details and comment via email – no login required. Perfect for execs who live in Outlook.
Delegation that actually works: If your CMO is on vacation, approvals auto-reassign based on rules you set. No more "per my out of office" reply chains.
Real-time dashboards that prevent status meetings: See every pending Netcore-related request color-coded by urgency. Filter by department, budget range, or campaign type.
Common Objections (And Why They're Wrong)
"We already have Netcore workflows set up."
Cool. This adds approval enforcement without rebuilding your existing processes. Think of it as adding seatbelts to your car, not buying a new car.
"Our legal team won't use another tool."
They don't have to. Email approvals mean they can review and sign off without touching ApproveThis. Compliance without the learning curve.
When to Stick With What You've Got
This integration isn't magic fairy dust. If you have single-person sign-offs on everything, keep using email. But if any of these apply, it's time to level up:
- You've had an "approved" campaign get pulled because someone forgot to CC legal
- Finance complains about budget surprises from "auto-approved" spends
- Your content calendar has more "waiting on approval" tasks than actual work
Bottom Line
ApproveThis + Netcore Cloud via Zapier isn't about adding bureaucracy – it's about making approvals keep up with your actual workflow. Marketing teams get to move fast without breaking things. Finance and legal get guardrails that don't require babysitting. And nobody has to explain to the CEO why that unapproved discount email went to the entire client list.
Next steps: If your approval process involves more than two "per my last email" follow-ups, it's time to try ApproveThis free for 14 days. Or book a 10-minute demo to see exactly how it plugs into your Netcore workflows.
