ApproveThis manages your Calldrip Integration approvals.
April 22, 2025
Integration Category: Call Tracking
Lets cut through the corporate speak: slow approvals kill deals. While Calldrips connecting your sales team to leads within 20 seconds, your legal teams still debating whether to approve the discount request. Thats where ApproveThis comes in not as another app to manage, but as the missing link between hell yes decisions and actually acting on them.
Why This Combo Works (When Other Tools Fail)
Calldrips great at what it does instant lead connection. ApproveThis handles the messy reality of getting multiple people to sign off on things. Together through Zapier, they fix the two biggest leaks in your sales pipeline:
Problem 1: Your reps get hot leads instantly, but cant offer custom terms without 3 days of internal back-and-forth.
Problem 2: Legal approves a deal, but sales doesnt get notified for 24 hours by which time the leads gone cold.
Real-World Use Cases That Move Needles
1. Instant Lead Qualification (Without Micromanagement)
Heres how a 200-person HVAC company uses this integration:
- Calldrip triggers call for new website lead
- Zapier creates ApproveThis request with lead details
- Sales manager approves/disapproves special pricing in 4 clicks
- Rep gets green light before they even finish the call
Result: 28% faster quote approvals, 15% increase in close rate on negotiated deals.
2. Post-Approval Momentum (Where Most Teams Drop the Ball)
A SaaS companys dirty little secret: Their approved feature requests took 11 days on average to reach customers. Now:
- ApproveThis sends approved feature spec to Calldrip
- Sales team calls affected customers within 90 seconds
- Upsell conversations happen while the news is fresh
Outcome: 40% faster revenue realization from new features.
Setup That Takes Less Time Than Your Morning Coffee
Three steps even your least techy sales manager can handle:
- Connect both apps to Zapier (takes 2 minutes each)
- Choose your trigger (New Calldrip Lead or Approval Decision)
- Map the key data fields (lead details approval request)
Pro tip: Use ApproveThis calculated fields to auto-flag deals needing special approval. Example: If discount >15%, require VP sign-off cuts approval loops by 62%.
Department-Specific Wins
Sales Teams: Stop Begging for Sign-Offs
Your AE closes a $120k deal at 3:45 PM on Friday. Normally:
- 4:00 PM: Email to legal
- Monday 10:00 AM: First reply
- Wednesday: Final approval
- Thursday: Lead ghosts you
With the integration:
Approval request auto-routes to legals phones via Calldrip. They approve during Fridays Uber ride home. Deal moves Monday AM.
Customer Success: Turn Renewals Into Upsells
CSMs get ApproveThis alerts for expiring contracts. Click approval, Calldrip auto-dials the client with renewal terms before competitors even know the contracts up.
Procurement: Actually Prevent Maverick Spending
Field team needs emergency supplier? They call via Calldrip, trigger approval workflow with photos/docs attached. Approvers get everything in one email approve via mobile, procurement gets auto-notified to process PO.
The Hidden Advantage Your CFO Will Love
ApproveThis approvers dont need Calldrip licenses. Translation:
- External partners can approve requests without racking up your SaaS bill
- Legal team stays in their approval dashboard instead of learning new tools
- Audit trail lives in one place even when 8 teams are involved
When to Use This Combo (And When Not To)
Good fit:
- Companies where deals require multi-department sign-off

- Orgs with external partners in approval chains
Bad fit:
- Completely self-service sales processes
- Single-approver scenarios
- Companies allergic to closing deals faster
