When Data Meets Decisions
Let’s be real – most real estate teams aren’t lacking data. They’re drowning in it. Altos Research tracks 100M+ properties, pumping out market reports that could make a Wall Street quant sweat. But here’s the problem: all that intel means jack if your approval process moves at the speed of a zoning board meeting.
Enter ApproveThis. We don’t just automate rubber-stamping. We give you guardrails for decisions that actually matter – like whether to greenlight a six-figure marketing spend based on Altos’ neighborhood heatmaps, or which off-market leads deserve immediate attention.
Connect these two via Zapier, and suddenly you’re not just reacting to market shifts. You’re built for them.
Why This Combo Doesn’t Suck
Most approval tools treat every request like a TPS report needing a signature. ApproveThis+Altos works because we speak real estate’s language:
- Thresholds that aren’t basic: Auto-approve comp report requests under $5K? Sure. But escalate anything touching a ZIP code with Altos’ “crash risk” flag? That’s where we shine.
- Approvals that travel: Your VP of Acquisitions approving deals from Cabo? Email-based decisions mean they don’t need to VPN into some clunky system.
Bonus: Approvers don’t need AltOS logins. Huge when you’re working with external investors or JV partners who shouldn’t see your full deal pipeline.
Use Case 1: From Market Alert to Approved Action in 3 Clicks
AltOS spots a 20% price drop in a target neighborhood. Normally, this kicks off a Slack storm, three spreadsheets, and a Zoom meeting that could’ve been an email. Here’s the smarter play:
How It Works
Zapier triggers an ApproveThis workflow the second AltOS detects your preset criteria (inventory spikes, listing velocity changes, etc.). The request auto-populates with:
- Relevant AltOS charts/maps
- Budget impact calculations
- Pre-vetted counteroffer ranges
Who Cares?
Acquisition Teams: Ever miss a pocket listing because your CFO was in back-to-backs? Threshold-based auto-approvals let junior analysts act within pre-set boundaries.
Brokerage Owners: See which agents are sitting on hot leads too long. Approval timelines exposed = accountability without micromanaging.
Use Case 2: Approved Lead → Instant Campaign in AltOS
Your team OKs a luxury condo push. But waiting for IT to sync buyer lists to AltOS? That’s how you end up blasting retirees with penthouse ads.
The Fix
When ApproveThis finalizes a campaign budget, Zapier automatically:
- Creates a new AltOS contact list filtered by your criteria (price range, school districts, etc.)
- Tags leads based on approval notes (“Focus on out-of-state buyers”)
Why It Slaps
Marketing Teams: No more begging sales for updated lists. Approved segments flow in daily.
Ops Managers: Audit trails show exactly which campaigns aligned with which approvals. Compliance hates surprises.
Setting This Up Without Losing Your Mind
If you can order DoorDash, you can build this integration. Here’s the cheat code:
Step 1: The AltOS Trigger
Pick your poison in Zapier – new market report generated, specific lead activity, etc. Pro tip: Start with “New Event” triggers for broad coverage.
Step 2: Approval Rules That Don’t Annoy People
In ApproveThis, set conditions like:
- If price drop >15%, require VP sign-off
- If lead score <80, auto-deny
Step 3: Sync Back to AltOS (Optional but Smart)
Push approval decisions into AltOS as lead tags. Now your sales team knows which prospects are pre-vetted for aggressive outreach.
Department Wins You Can Actually Measure
Asset Management Teams
Stop playing phone tag with property managers. When AltOS flags maintenance issues, ApproveThis routes them based on severity – $500 leak fix? Auto-approved. $50K roof replacement? Hits the right desk instantly.
Investor Relations
Share approved market summaries via AltOS without exposing raw data. Investors see polished insights, not your team’s back-and-forth.
PropTech Developers
Embed approval workflows directly into your app’s UI using our API. Clients think you built a custom solution. You know it’s just ApproveThis+Zapier.
Bottom Line: This Isn’t Just About Speed
Sure, shaving days off approval cycles matters. But the real win? Making decisions that hold up when the market tanks. ApproveThis+AltOS gives you:
- Documented rationale for every major move (lawsuit protection, anyone?)
- Fewer “I never approved that!” moments
- Actual data to back up gut calls
Ready to Stop Guessing? Register for ApproveThis and hook up your AltOS account in under 10 minutes. Or book a demo if you’re into that whole “due diligence” thing.
