ApproveThis manages your beeviral Integration approvals.

Why Approval Processes Shouldn't Feel Like Playing Tag With a Ghost

Let’s cut to the chase: marketing teams live in the trenches of referrals, recommendations, and “hey, can you approve this?” Slack pings that disappear into the void. beeviral handles the heavy lifting of referral marketing automation, but when every recommendation needs a sign-off from Legal, Finance, or your picky CMO… things get sticky.

That’s where ApproveThis comes in – think of it as the traffic cop for your approvals. Together, they turn “waiting on Frank from accounting” into a process that actually finishes before the campaign launch. No more spreadsheets, no more forwarding emails, and definitely no more guessing who’s holding things up.

beeviral Does the Work, ApproveThis Handles the Paperwork

beeviral’s great at managing referrals and tracking who’s recommending your product. But when those recommendations need to be vetted (like influencer partnerships or customer referral bonuses), that’s where things fall apart. ApproveThis doesn’t just send emails into the abyss – it forces decisions.

Here’s the kicker: approvers don’t need a beeviral license. Your CFO can approve a $10K influencer payout directly from their inbox without logging into yet another marketing tool. Same goes for external partners – agencies, legal counsel, whoever. They click “approve,” you keep moving.

Three Ways This Combo Saves Grown-Up Businesses From Themselves

1. No More “Oops, Forgot to Approve That” Moments

How it works: New recommendation in beeviral → Auto-create approval request in ApproveThis → Decision-makers get nudged until they comply.

Who cares: E-commerce teams running flash sales based on customer referrals. If a VIP customer refers 50 people overnight, their $500 bonus needs sign-off before the finance team freaks out. ApproveThis routes it to the right person, sets a deadline, and escalates if they’re OOO.

2. Killing Double Data Entry (And the Errors That Come With It)

How it works: Start an approval in ApproveThis → Auto-create the beeviral recommendation record. No copying/pasting customer details or reward tiers.

Who cares: Agencies managing multiple clients in beeviral. When Client A’s campaign needs 10 micro-influencers approved, the account manager triggers one request. Approved influencers automatically populate in beeviral – no risk of typos in handles or promo codes.

3. Closing the Loop Without Chasing People Down

How it works: Approval granted/denied in ApproveThis → Update beeviral status automatically. Rejected? Beeviral stops that referral payout. Approved? The reward workflow kicks off instantly.

Who cares: SaaS companies with strict compliance rules. If Legal vetos a partnership referral, beeviral stops tracking it immediately. No awkward clawbacks or explaining why someone’s bonus vanished.

Setting This Up Isn’t a PhD Project

If you can build an IKEA shelf, you can handle this:

1. Grab your Zapier account (free tier works)
2. Pick a template from the ApproveThis-beeviral integration page
3. Connect your apps (takes 2 minutes)
4. Test with one recommendation → approval cycle

Pro tip: Start with the “Update recommendation status on approval” zap. It’s the quickest way to see the time savings.

Why This Isn’t Just Another “Integration”

Most tools slap together integrations that just move data. This combo actually changes how teams operate:

• Marketing: Launch campaigns faster because approvals aren’t bottlenecked. Prove ROI on referrals by tracking approval-to-payout time.
• Finance: Set approval thresholds (example: auto-approve bonuses under $100, escalate anything higher). No more surprise budget overruns.
• Ops: See every pending approval in one dashboard. Stop playing detective across email threads and Slack channels.

Real Talk: When This Makes Sense (And When It Doesn’t)

This isn’t magic fairy dust. It works best if:

- You have at least 5 approvals per week in beeviral (otherwise, why bother?)
- Your approval process involves more than one person (solo decision-makers don’t need workflows)
- You’ve had at least one “approval gone wrong” disaster (late payout, compliance issue, etc.)

If you’re a 10-person startup where the CEO approves everything… maybe wait until you scale.

Don’t Let “What Ifs” Sabotage This

Common objections we hear:

“We have custom approval rules!”
So do most of our clients. ApproveThis handles conditional logic (example: approve in Finance first if payout >$5K, otherwise skip to Marketing).

“Our approvers are technophobes!”
They approve/reject via email. Zero login required. If they can reply to a message, they can use this.

“We use other tools too!”
Zapier connects to 5,000+ apps. Approved in ApproveThis → log it in Salesforce, notify in Teams, update the Google Sheet. Done.

How to Start Without Breaking Anything

1. Pick one process that’s currently a pain point (influencer payouts, referral bonuses, partner commissions)
2. Map the approval steps on a napkin (who says yes, what info they need, time limits)
3. Build one Zap to automate that single flow
4. Run a test campaign with fake recommendations
5. Once it works, expand to other processes

No need to boil the ocean. Fix one headache first.

The Bottom Line: Time is Money, and You’re Wasting Both

Every minute your team spends chasing approvals is a minute they’re not optimizing campaigns or analyzing referral data. Every delayed payout because someone forgot to click “approve” damages partner relationships.

ApproveThis + beeviral isn’t about flashy features – it’s about eliminating the stupid bottlenecks that make grown adults want to scream into a pillow. Less babysitting workflows, more actual work.
