ApproveThis manages your Getsitecontrol Integration approvals.

Why This Integration Isn’t Just Another Corporate Band-Aid

Let’s cut through the usual “streamline your processes” BS. You’re here because your team keeps losing form submissions in Slack threads, your approvers ghost requests like bad Tinder dates, and someone just approved a 50% discount for a customer who asked for a PDF download. We get it.

ApproveThis and Getsitecontrol together act like a bouncer for your business decisions. Getsitecontrol catches the leads, surveys, and requests through slick website widgets. ApproveThis slaps structure on what happens next – no more free-for-all approvals or “I thought YOU were handling it” moments.

The Nuts and Bolts (Without Putting You to Sleep)

Getsitecontrol’s forms and popups are your digital bouncers – they filter website visitors into leads, survey responses, or special requests. But then what? Without ApproveThis, those submissions often:

• Die in someone’s inbox
• Get approved by the wrong person “just to make it stop”
• Trigger 17 back-and-forth emails

ApproveThis adds guardrails: automatic routing based on dollar amounts, deadlines that actually matter, and approval chains that don’t rely on whoever’s least busy. The Zapier integration? That’s your plumbing. When a Getsitecontrol form gets submitted, Zapier automatically creates an approval request with all the deets. No CSV exports. No manual data entry.

Real-World Uses That Don’t Suck

Marketing Teams: Stop Being the Campaign Bottleneck

Scenario: Your team uses Getsitecontrol popups for webinar signups. But every new webinar needs legal approval for compliance disclosures. Without this integration:

→ Marketing assistant manually emails the legal team
→ Legal ignores it for 3 days
→ Marketing misses the campaign launch window
→ Everyone looks incompetent

With the integration:
Webinar form submission → Auto-creates ApproveThis request with all details → Routes to legal based on pre-set rules → Legal approves/denies via email in 2 clicks → Marketing gets instant notification. No chasing. No “I didn’t see the email.”

Customer Success: Discount Requests That Don’t Bleed Profit

Your support team gets discount requests via Getsitecontrol widgets. But letting every rep approve discounts is financial Russian roulette. Solution:

Discount request form → Auto-creates approval with calculated fields (total discount value, customer lifetime value) → Routes based on thresholds:
- Under 10%: Team lead approval
- 10-20%: CFO approval
- Over 20%: Auto-denied
Bonus: Vacation delegation means approvals don’t stall when someone’s OOO.

Operations Teams: Procurement Without the Papercuts

Employees submit software purchase requests via Getsitecontrol. Finance needs to approve budgets, IT needs to vet security. Typical process:

→ Form gets emailed to 5 people
→ Three approve without checking
→ Two have conflicting feedback
→ Purchase gets delayed 3 weeks

Integrated flow:
Request → Auto-routes to IT first (sequential approval)
→ IT approves security → Routes to finance
→ Finance checks against budget thresholds
→ If under $5k, auto-approves
→ Over $5k, escalates to VP

Setup That Won’t Make You Want to Strangle Zapier

1. Connect the Dots: In Zapier, link your Getsitecontrol account and ApproveThis.
2. Trigger: Select “New Submission” from Getsitecontrol.
3. Action: Choose “Create Request” in ApproveThis.
4. Map Fields: Drag-and-drop form responses into your approval template.
5. Test: Submit a test form to see the approval request auto-generate.

Pro Tip: Use ApproveThis’ calculated fields to auto-flag high-risk requests. Example: If a discount request form submission exceeds 15% off, add a “Requires VP Review” tag automatically.

The Quiet Perks Your CFO Will Actually Care About

License Savings: Approvers only need ApproveThis access – no extra Getsitecontrol seats required. Huge when dealing with external partners or execs who shouldn’t have full platform access.

Audit Trail: Every approval decision is timestamped with comments. GDPR/SOX compliance without the spreadsheet hell.

Scale Without Chaos: Add new approval types (contract reviews, content approvals, etc.) without IT help. Your ops team can build new workflows in ApproveThis as needs evolve.

When Not to Use This Integration (Yes, Really)

1. For instant approvals: If you need sub-second decisions, build an automated rules engine, not an approval workflow.
2. Simple yes/no forms: If there’s no need for multi-step reviews or conditional logic, you’re overcomplicating it.
3. Company-wide policies: Mandatory HR trainings or compliance docs? Use Getsitecontrol’s native features instead.

The Bottom Line for Skeptics

This isn’t about “digital transformation” buzzwords. It’s about:
- Killing the approval black hole (you know which requests we mean)
- Stopping rogue approvals that cost real money
- Making stakeholders actually accountable
- Cutting 4+ hours/week of manual follow-ups

For teams between 50-5k employees, that’s the difference between “growing efficiently” and “drowning in administrative overhead.”

Your Move
