ApproveThis manages your DripJobs Integration approvals.

When "Just Approve It" Isn't Enough

Let's cut to the chase: if your team's still chasing down approvals through email threads or Slack pings, you're leaving money and sanity on the table. DripJobs keeps your sales pipeline moving, but what happens when a $50K proposal needs legal review? Or when your operations manager's on vacation and that urgent client booking gets stuck? That's where slapping an approval system onto your CRM gets interesting.

ApproveThis isn't another layer of bureaucracy – it's the missing link between "we got the lead!" and "contract signed." We'll show you how mid-sized companies are using this Zapier integration to shave days off deal cycles and actually enforce approval rules without becoming that team that takes a week to answer simple requests.

Why This Combo Doesn't Suck

DripJobs organizes your leads. ApproveThis organizes your humans. Together, they handle the messy middle where deals go to die if you're not careful. Here's the breakdown:

DripJobs Does...

Lead tracking, proposal templates, booking coordination – all the stuff that keeps sales from winging it. But when you need three department heads to sign off on a custom proposal? That's not a CRM problem.

ApproveThis Adds...

Rules without rigidity. Think: auto-routing that $20K discount request to the CFO only when it's over $15K. Or making sure the project manager gets looped in before sales promises an impossible deadline. All without making approvers log into yet another system.

Real-World Use Cases That Don't Feel Like Busywork

1. The "Stop Ghosting Our Booking Forms" Workflow

Problem: Your field team books jobs fast, but accounting keeps rejecting invoices because someone promised upgrades without approval.

Fix: When a DripJobs booking form hits certain criteria (say, over $5K or includes premium add-ons), ApproveThis automatically:

• Routes to sales lead + operations via email
• Escalates after 12 hours (no more "I didn't see the Slack")
• Only updates DripJobs status when fully approved

Who cares: Construction firms, event planners, anyone where on-site teams make promises that back-office needs to fulfill.

2. The "Turn Approval Headaches into Lead Gen" Trick

Problem: Your consultants submit project requests that could be upsold, but sales never sees them until it's too late.

Fix: New ApproveThis request for a client project? Auto-create a DripJobs lead with:

• Pre-filled notes from the request form
• Priority tagging based on project budget
• Auto-assign to sales rep based on client industry

Who cares: Marketing agencies, IT services, consultants – any team where internal approvals hint at bigger client opportunities.

3. The "Celebrate the Win Then Actually Do the Work" System

Problem: Sales celebrates closed-won deals, but operations finds half the proposals have unrealistic timelines.

Fix: When a DripJobs proposal gets accepted, ApproveThis:

• Requires ops manager sign-off on start date
• Auto-calculates resource availability with calculated fields
• Only triggers contract signing after realistic scheduling

Who cares: SaaS companies, manufacturers, anyone where sales and delivery teams have a... complicated relationship.

Setup That Takes Less Time Than Your Last Zoom Call

Connect Zapier to both platforms. Choose your trigger (new DripJobs form, accepted proposal, etc.). Map the key data points. Set approval rules. Done. Seriously – most of our clients have this running in under 20 minutes. The real work is deciding who gets to approve what, which you should've figured out after that last invoice mess.

Department-Specific Wins (So You Can Stop Herding Cats)

Sales Teams:

Close deals faster by building approval conditions into proposals upfront. Example: "Client wants a 60-day rollout? That needs ops approval, but we can approve 30-day standard here." No more backpedaling.

Operations:

Use approval thresholds to auto-approve routine requests (like $500 equipment purchases) but flag anything that needs your eyes. Vacation mode means your second-in-command gets auto-assigned requests without you forwarding emails.

Finance:

Multi-step approvals where legal signs off on terms first, then you handle pricing. All audit trails in one place, not scattered across PDFs and reply-all emails.

The Nerd Stuff You Actually Care About

No extra licenses: Approvers get emails with approve/reject links. They don't need DripJobs logins. Huge for external clients or contractors.

Conditional logic: Route $10K discounts to regional managers, $25K+ to VPs. Change rules per client tier without IT help.

Real-time tracking: See which requests are stuck on who's desk. Bonus: Clients think you're hyper-organized when you can actually tell them where their proposal is.

This Isn't a Marriage Proposal
