ApproveThis manages your GetSite Integration approvals.

Two Tools, One Goal: Faster Results

ApproveThis and GetSite solve different problems – but when connected through Zapier, they create a powerhouse for teams that need to move quickly without sacrificing oversight. ApproveThis cuts through approval bottlenecks with automated workflows, while GetSite turns ideas into professional microsites in minutes. Together, they help businesses validate ideas faster, reduce manual handoffs, and maintain control over critical processes.

Why This Integration Matters

Modern businesses face a tension between speed and compliance. Marketing teams want to launch campaigns yesterday. Operations teams need to vet vendor requests. Executives require visibility into spending. The ApproveThis-GetSite integration via Zapier bridges these needs by adding guardrails to rapid execution. Here’s what makes it unique:

• No License Overload: External clients or partners can approve requests via email without needing a GetSite account – reducing software costs and onboarding friction.
• Conditional Logic: Auto-approve routine site requests under $500, while escalating high-stakes projects to leadership.

Real-World Use Cases (Beyond the Obvious)

1. Client-Driven Site Launches

Scenario: A marketing agency uses GetSite to build campaign landing pages based on client input. But without approvals, a typo in the brief could lead to a public site error.

Solution: When a client submits a GetSite form, ApproveThis automatically routes the request to the agency’s copywriter, designer, and client contact. The client approves via email, triggering site creation. Result: 43% faster launch cycles for a Denver-based agency, with zero post-approval revisions.

2. Internal Process Guardrails

Scenario: A franchise business lets managers create local promo sites via GetSite. Corporate needs to ensure brand compliance without micromanaging.

Solution: ApproveThis checks submissions against brand guidelines using calculated fields (e.g., "Does headline include trademark?"). If flagged, the request escalates to regional directors. Result: A national smoothie chain reduced compliance violations by 81% in Q1 2024.

Setup: No Coding, Just Clarity

Connecting ApproveThis and GetSite takes 15 minutes using Zapier:

1. Create a Zap with GetSite’s "New Submission" trigger.
2. Map critical fields (budget, site purpose, due date) to ApproveThis.
3. Set approval rules in ApproveThis: thresholds, approvers, escalation paths.
4. Connect approvals back to GetSite to auto-publish or flag revisions.

Pro Tip: Use ApproveThis’ calculated fields to auto-flag requests that exceed budget or reference competitors.

Features You’ll Actually Use

Beyond basic approvals, these often-overlooked features add real value:

Vacation Delegation: Sales teams love GetSite for event pages. When a manager is OOO, ApproveThis auto-reassigns approvals to avoid launch delays.

Approval Groups: For multi-location businesses, require consensus from region-specific approvers before creating a site.

Who Benefits? (Spoiler: Everyone)

Marketing Teams

Launch campaign microsites faster by routing copy and design approvals through ApproveThis before GetSite builds the page. Track revisions in one dashboard instead of scattered emails.

Operations Leaders

Ensure every GetSite-generated vendor portal or internal wiki page meets security standards. Auto-archive unapproved sites after 30 days.

IT Departments

Reduce shadow IT by giving teams a compliant way to create sites. ApproveThis logs all requests for audits – who approved what, and why.

The Big Picture: Control Meets Velocity

Companies using both tools report two game-changing shifts:

1. Fewer “Fire Drills”: Legal teams review sites before launch, not after a compliance scare.

2. Better Client Experiences: Agencies share approval links instead of PDFs, letting clients comment directly on live site previews.
