Why Combine Approval Management with Automation?
Businesses lose an average of 20-30% in revenue annually due to inefficient processes. For teams using Everact.io's marketing automation and CRM capabilities, adding structured approvals through ApproveThis closes this gap by bringing human oversight to automated workflows without slowing things down. This integration turns two powerful tools into a single decision-making engine that protects your business while keeping operations moving at digital speed.
The Control-Speed Paradox Solved
Everact.io excels at executing complex marketing sequences and CRM updates, while ApproveThis adds governance layers where they matter most. Together, they help organizations:
- Prevent costly automation errors through pre-launch approvals
- Maintain compliance with audit-ready approval records
- Accelerate client onboarding with external approver support
Key Integration Features
The Zapier-powered connection enables bi-directional workflows between both platforms:
Automation Guardrails
Set ApproveThis as the mandatory checkpoint before critical Everact.io automations run. Marketing teams can require director approval for campaigns targeting high-value client segments, while finance teams might mandate CFO review for automated billing rule changes.
Post-Approval Actions
Approved requests in ApproveThis automatically trigger Everact.io sequences – like adding newly approved contacts to nurture campaigns or updating CRM records with compliance documentation. Denied requests can initiate corrective workflows, keeping stalled processes visible.
Real-World Use Cases
Marketing Campaign Safeguards
A retail company uses the integration to ensure all discount automations exceeding 25% off receive regional manager approval in ApproveThis before Everact.io deploys them. The approval process verifies inventory levels and profit margins, preventing over-discounting during flash sales.
Client Onboarding Acceleration
Consulting firms route new client intake forms from Everact.io to ApproveThis for partner review. Once approved, Everact.io automatically provisions client portals and schedules kickoff meetings. External clients approve statements of work directly via email without needing Everact.io licenses.
Compliance-Driven HR
HR teams require multiple department head approvals in ApproveThis before Everact.io automates offer letters or benefits enrollment. Calculated fields ensure compensation packages stay within budget thresholds, while vacation delegation prevents hiring delays during approver absences.
Implementation Made Simple
Setting up the integration takes under 15 minutes through Zapier. Here's how it works:
Step 1: Connect the Apps
Create Zapier accounts for both ApproveThis and Everact.io, then authenticate both services in your Zapier dashboard. No coding required – just click through the OAuth prompts.
Step 2: Build Your Trigger-Action Pair
Choose between two primary workflow patterns:
- Everact.io → ApproveThis: Trigger approval requests when specific automations initiate
- ApproveThis → Everact.io: Launch automations based on approval outcomes
Step 3: Configure Conditional Logic
Use ApproveThis' calculated fields to set dynamic thresholds. For example, auto-approve marketing automations under $5K budget but require CFO review above that amount. Map these rules to Everact.io automation parameters using Zapier's filter tools.
Team-Specific Benefits
Marketing Teams
Balance campaign agility with financial oversight. Require approvals only for high-risk automations while letting routine campaigns run unimpeded. Real-time dashboards show pending requests alongside campaign performance metrics.
Operations Managers
Implement sequential approvals for cross-departmental processes. A procurement automation in Everact.io might first need IT approval for technical specs in ApproveThis, then finance sign-off on costs, before final vendor activation.
Client-Facing Teams
External partners approve project milestones directly via email while internal teams track everything in ApproveThis. Approved client sign-offs automatically update Everact.io CRM records and trigger invoice generation.
Beyond Basic Approvals
While many teams start with simple yes/no workflows, the integration supports advanced scenarios:
Approval Escalations
Automatically reassign stalled approvals to backup delegates after 24 hours, keeping Everact.io automations on schedule. Configure escalation rules based on deal size or client tier.
Data-Driven Decisions
Use ApproveThis' calculated fields to surface relevant Everact.io CRM data during approvals. Show approvers a customer's lifetime value alongside their requested discount amount for context-rich decisions.
Compliance Auditing
Maintain immutable records of who approved each automation trigger – crucial for industries like healthcare or finance. Export approval certificates directly into Everact.io document repositories.
Getting Started
To implement these workflows:
- Create your ApproveThis account (free 14-day trial)
- Connect to Everact.io via Zapier
- Clone pre-built templates or design custom approval-automation chains
Final Thoughts
In 2024, businesses don't choose between speed and control – they engineer both. By combining ApproveThis' structured governance with Everact.io's automation muscle, organizations create self-auditing workflows that move fast without breaking things. The integration particularly shines for:
- Businesses scaling client-facing operations
- Industries with strict compliance requirements
- Teams managing external partners or multi-company projects
