ApproveThis manages your FastBots Integration approvals.

When Approval Workflows Meet AI Chatbots

Let’s cut to the chase: approvals suck. They’re the traffic jam in your otherwise smooth business highway. But what if you could automate the bottleneck while keeping humans in charge of actual decisions? That’s where ApproveThis and FastBots come in. One handles the structured chaos of approval workflows, the other automates lead conversations with AI. Together? They turn “waiting on approvals” from a company meme into something that actually works.

What Happens When You Connect These Two

ApproveThis isn’t just another checkbox tool. It’s built for companies that have outgrown email chains but don’t want to drown in enterprise software. FastBots isn’t your grandma’s chatbot – it’s AI trained on your actual data, handling lead qualification 24/7. Connect them through Zapier, and you get:

• Automated approval triggers from FastBots lead activity
• Real-time decision updates pushed back to your chatbots

The kicker? Approvers using ApproveThis don’t need FastBots licenses. Perfect for when you need sign-offs from external partners or execs who shouldn’t have access to your lead gen tools.

Real-World Uses That Actually Matter

1. No More Lead Approval Limbo

FastBots generates leads. Great. Now what? Most companies either:

- Let sales reps shotgun approach every lead (wasting time)
- Make reps wait days for manager approval (wasting opportunities)

Here’s the fix: Every new FastBots lead triggers an ApproveThis workflow. Sales ops gets a structured request with lead score, conversation history, and custom fields showing deal potential. Approvers get email notifications they can greenlight or reject in two clicks. Approved leads auto-populate in your CRM. Denied leads get automated “thanks but no thanks” via FastBots.

Who this helps:
Marketing agencies qualifying client leads, SaaS companies filtering free trial signups, manufacturers vetting distributor requests.

2. Decisions That Actually Reach Your Team

Ever approved something only to find out the team didn’t act for days? With this integration, the moment an ApproveThis request gets approved:

- FastBots instantly updates the lead record
- Your sales bot messages the lead with next steps
- Project management tools get pinged to allocate resources

Example: A cybersecurity firm uses ApproveThis thresholds to auto-approve small contracts but escalate enterprise deals. When a $500K deal gets approved, FastBots immediately schedules a technical deep-dive call via the lead’s preferred messaging platform.

Setting This Up Without Losing Your Mind

Zapier makes this stupidly simple:

1. Connect FastBots to Zapier: Use the “New Lead Generated” trigger
2. Add ApproveThis: Set up the “Create Request” action
3. Map fields: Pull FastBots data (lead score, convo history) into your approval template
4. Add conditions: Auto-approve low-risk leads, escalate others
5. Close the loop: Use ApproveThis’ “Request Approved/Denied” trigger to update FastBots

Pro tip: Use ApproveThis’ calculated fields to auto-flag leads that hit your ideal customer profile based on FastBots data.

Who Benefits (Besides Your Sanity)

Sales Teams

Stop babysitting leads that go nowhere. Get pre-approved contacts that actually fit your ideal profile. FastBots handles initial qualifying, ApproveThis ensures you’re only spending time on vetted opportunities.

Operations

Replace chaotic Slack approvals with audit trails. Set up sequential approvals where big deals need CFO sign-off after sales manager review. Vacation delegation means no more “waiting for Karen to get back from Maui.”

IT Teams

Fewer tickets about “lost approvals” or “why can’t external partners access our CRM.” ApproveThis lives in its own layer, keeping your core systems secure while enabling cross-platform workflows.

Executives

Real-time dashboards showing approval bottlenecks. Automatic escalation for high-value deals. Plus, you can approve things from your inbox like a normal person instead of logging into some clunky portal.

Why This Isn’t Just Another Integration

Most approval tools treat every request the same. ApproveThis adds context from FastBots to make smarter decisions:

- Approval thresholds based on lead scoring
- Dynamic routing (enterprise leads go to senior reps automatically)
- Conditional fields that show deal size potential before approval

Meanwhile, FastBots becomes more than just a lead gen bot – it becomes part of your decision-making loop, acting on approvals the second they happen.

No, Really – This Works for Actual Companies

Imagine a commercial real estate broker using FastBots to qualify tenant leads. When a lead requests pricing for 50,000 sq ft:

1. FastBots captures requirements
2. ApproveThis triggers a workflow calculating build-out costs
3. The VP reviews, adds concessions, approves
4. FastBots instantly sends a tailored proposal

Or a healthcare SaaS company vetting trial users:

1. FastBots screens for HIPAA compliance needs
2. ApproveThis routes high-risk trials to legal
3. Approved users get instant platform access
4. Denied leads receive compliance guidance
