ApproveThis manages your e-shot Integration approvals.

When Email Marketing Meets Approval Automation

Let's get real - your marketing team's stuck in a loop. Every campaign launch means chasing down sign-offs through Slack, email threads that go cold, and last-minute changes that make everyone want to flip a table. Meanwhile, your CRM contacts are rotting in approval purgatory while sales waits to pounce. This is why we built the ApproveThis and e-shot Zapier integration.

When you connect these two platforms through Zapier, you're not just automating workflows. You're creating a direct line between your email marketing engine and the people who keep it from blowing up. Think of it like giving your entire company a "yes/no" button that actually works.

Why This Combo Works

e-shot handles the heavy lifting of email campaigns, contact management, and engagement tracking. ApproveThis brings the muscle to make decisions happen fast. Together through Zapier, they solve three core problems:

• No more campaign limbo: Get marketing assets approved before your A/B test becomes irrelevant
• Zero license headaches: External clients can approve campaigns without e-shot logins

Take a retail company launching a holiday sale. Their marketing team uses e-shot to build the campaign, but needs legal to approve discount language. With this integration, the moment the email draft is ready, ApproveThis automatically pings legal via email. No logins, no portals - just a clean approve/reject decision that flows back into e-shot.

Real-World Use Cases That Don't Suck

1. Contact List Hygiene Without the Mind-Numbing Meetings

Marketing teams at mid-sized companies waste 12 hours a month arguing about which contacts to purge. Here's the fix:

When an e-shot contact clicks a link (e-shot's engagement trigger), ApproveThis automatically creates an approval request. Sales managers get an email with the contact's engagement history and one click decides if sales follows up. We've seen manufacturers use this to qualify leads 63% faster after tradeshows.

2. Compliance Proofing That Doesn't Kill Momentum

Financial services firms can't afford campaign mistakes, but legal teams move at glacier speed. Set up approval thresholds in ApproveThis so:

• Emails under $10k promotions auto-approve
• Anything with "guaranteed" or "risk-free" triggers legal review

When e-shot detects a high-risk keyword, ApproveThis routes it to compliance with calculated fields showing regulatory impact. One credit union used this to cut compliance review time from 48 hours to 90 minutes.

3. Sunsetting Campaigns Without the Guilt Trip

Teams hoard old campaigns like junk drawer condiment packets. Create a Zap that deletes e-shot contacts when ApproveThis requests are denied. Healthcare providers use this to automatically scrub unengaged contacts from sensitive campaigns, keeping HIPAA auditors happy.

Setup That Won't Make You Rage-Quit

Connect ApproveThis and e-shot in under 12 minutes (we timed it):

1. In Zapier, choose e-shot as your trigger app
2. Pick an event like "Contact Clicked" or "Campaign Drafted"
3. Connect ApproveThis as the action app
4. Map e-shot data to approval request fields
5. Activate and stop micromanaging

Pro tip: Use ApproveThis' calculated fields to auto-score engagement metrics from e-shot. Set approval thresholds so only borderline cases need human eyes.

Department-Specific Wins

Marketing Teams

Auto-approve routine campaigns while flagging high-risk content. One SaaS company cut their campaign launch time from 5 days to 8 hours by setting monetary thresholds - anything under $25k budget auto-approved.

Sales Ops

Trigger lead approval requests when e-shot detects multiple campaign clicks. Approvers get the lead's entire engagement history without jumping between tools. Bonus: Use vacation delegation so deals don't stall when managers are OOO.

Legal/Compliance

Create parallel approval paths - marketing leads approve creative, legal approves disclaimers. All tracked in ApproveThis' audit trail. No more "I never approved that" finger-pointing.

Why This Beats Native Tools

e-shot's built-in approval features work if you live in their platform. But when you need cross-team collaboration (looking at you, enterprises with 20 departments), ApproveThis adds:

• Email approvals for external partners
• Conditional logic based on real campaign data
• Automatic escalations when deadlines loom

A logistics company slashed their vendor co-marketing approval time from 11 days to 36 hours by letting external partners approve via email while maintaining internal controls.

Don't Just Automate - Dominate

This integration isn't about replacing humans. It's about eliminating the administrative sludge so your team can focus on work that matters. When approvals happen in minutes instead of days:

• Marketing launches campaigns while trends are still hot
• Sales engages leads before they go cold
• Legal avoids last-minute fire drills

A B2B software vendor used these workflows to reduce missed opportunities from expired approvals by 78% last quarter. Their secret? Setting up automatic approval reminders tied directly to e-shot's campaign scheduling.

Time to Stop Approving and Start Doing

You didn't get into marketing/sales/ops to babysit approval processes. The ApproveThis and e-shot integration through Zapier is your escape hatch. Set it up once and watch:

• Campaigns move faster than your competitor's
• Contacts get handled based on real data, not politics
• Auditors smile at your clean paper trail
