ApproveThis manages your Deadline Funnel Integration approvals.

Why Combine ApproveThis and Deadline Funnel?

When approval workflows collide with time-sensitive opportunities, businesses often face bottlenecks. ApproveThis and Deadline Funnel solve this problem together. ApproveThis automates multi-step approvals across teams, while Deadline Funnel creates urgency through personalized deadlines. Integrated via Zapier, these tools turn sluggish processes into competitive advantages.

Key Business Benefits

For sales teams, this integration means closing deals faster by aligning discount approvals with expiring offers. Marketing teams can synchronize campaign launches with internal review cycles. Operations leaders gain visibility into bottlenecks where approvals delay critical deadlines. The combination is particularly powerful for businesses dealing with:

• Limited-time offers requiring rapid executive sign-off
• Client-facing projects with strict delivery timelines

Real-World Use Cases

1. Time-Bound Lead Qualification

When new leads come through Deadline Funnel campaigns, sales teams often need manager approval before offering special terms. A marketing agency uses this integration to:

Workflow Example: New ConvertHub subscriber → Auto-create approval request in ApproveThis → If approved within 24 hours, trigger Deadline Funnel sequence with exclusive offer.

Result: Reduced lead response time from 48 hours to 6 hours, increasing conversion rates by 22%.

2. Approval-Driven Deadlines

Manufacturing companies use this integration to link supplier contract approvals with production deadlines. When procurement requests exceed $50K in ApproveThis, the integration automatically starts a 72-hour Deadline Funnel clock for executive review.

Impact: Prevented $240K in potential delays last quarter by ensuring time-sensitive approvals stayed aligned with factory scheduling.

Technical Setup Made Simple

Connecting ApproveThis and Deadline Funnel requires no coding through Zapier. Here’s how to start:

Step 1: Create Your Zap

1. In Zapier, choose Deadline Funnel as the trigger app
2. Select "New ConvertHub Subscriber" event
3. Authenticate both apps (takes 2 minutes)
4. Map subscriber data to ApproveThis request fields

Step 2: Configure Approval Logic

Within ApproveThis, set up:
- Approval thresholds for auto-escalation
- Email/SMS reminders synced with Deadline Funnel countdowns
- Vacation delegation to prevent delays

Pro Tip: Use ApproveThis' calculated fields to auto-determine which Deadline Funnel sequence to trigger based on approval amount or department.

Cross-Functional Team Benefits

Sales Teams

Accelerate deal desks by tying approval stages to expiring pricing. Example: When a sales rep requests a 15% discount in ApproveThis, Deadline Funnel automatically emails the prospect: "Your exclusive rate expires in 48 hours."

Marketing Teams

Sync campaign approvals with launch deadlines. If content approval takes longer than 3 days in ApproveThis, Deadline Funnel adjusts the campaign timeline and notifies stakeholders.

Operations Teams

Monitor approval bottlenecks affecting deadlines. The ApproveThis dashboard shows real-time approval rates, while Deadline Funnel data reveals which expiring offers are most effective.

Strategic Advantages

This integration solves three critical business challenges:

1. External Collaboration

ApproveThis allows external partners to approve requests via email without needing Deadline Funnel access. A construction firm uses this to get client sign-offs on change orders while maintaining deadline pressure through automated reminders.

2. Data-Driven Adjustments

Combine ApproveThis' audit trails with Deadline Funnel's conversion analytics to identify which approval delays impact revenue most. One SaaS company discovered reducing legal review time by 1 day increased offer conversions by 17%.

3. Conditional Escalation

If an approval request nears its Deadline Funnel expiration, ApproveThis can automatically escalate to higher authorities. This “safety net” prevented 83 missed deadlines last quarter for a logistics provider.

Getting Started

1. Create your ApproveThis account (free 14-day trial)
