ApproveThis manages your Glibl Integration approvals.

Let’s talk about two things that keep growing companies awake at night: contact management and approval bottlenecks. Glibl handles the first part well – it’s where your team stores every business card scanned at conferences, tracks client interactions, and manages who’s talking to whom. ApproveThis owns the second part – it’s the system that stops requests from dying in email threads between departments. Together? They’re the difference between “We’ll get back to you next quarter” and actually moving deals forward.

Why This Combo Works Like a Power Tool

Glibl’s good at organizing contacts. ApproveThis is great at getting decisions made. Zapier stitches them together so you’re not manually copy-pasting data between systems. The real win? Approvers don’t need Glibl licenses to greenlight requests. Your external partners can approve vendor onboarding via email while your legal team reviews NDAs in ApproveThis – no extra software seats required.

Three Ways This Integration Beats Manual Processes

1. No more “Who approved this client?” confusion: When sales scans a prospect’s business card into Glibl, ApproveThis automatically routes it to the right manager based on deal size or region. All approvals live in one audit trail.

2. Stop losing requests in Slack: Marketing wants to add a new influencer from an event? The request hits ApproveThis with all Glibl contact details attached. Approvers get email links – no app switching.

3. Escalate smarter, not harder: If a high-value contact request sits too long, ApproveThis bumps it up the chain automatically. No more passive-aggressive “Following up!” emails.

Real Teams Using This Right Now

Marketing Teams: Event Follow-Ups That Don’t Leak Leads

Imagine your team collects 500 business cards at a trade show. Glibl’s AI scans them, but instead of letting junior staff mass-email everyone, ApproveThis routes high-priority leads to directors for approval first. Conditional logic auto-approves contacts under $10K potential value while flagging enterprise leads. Result? Sales gets qualified contacts faster without overwhelming your CRM.

HR & Procurement: Vendor Onboarding Without the Paper Chase

When operations adds a new supplier contact in Glibl, ApproveThis kicks off a parallel process: Legal reviews contracts, finance checks payment terms, and the requesting manager gets nudged if approvals stall. Vacation delegation means if the CFO’s out, their deputy gets the request automatically. All without HR playing middleman.

Exec Teams: Board Contact Management That Doesn’t Embarrass

Adding a new board member’s details? That request goes through ApproveThis with sequential approvals – CEO first, then legal, then the admin who actually updates the directory. Calculated fields ensure compliance checks happen before anything becomes official. No more “Oops, we forgot to vet that investor” moments.

Setup: Less Painful Than You’d Think

1. Create a Zapier account (free tier works)
2. Connect Glibl as your trigger app – pick “New Contact”
3. Connect ApproveThis as your action app – use “Create Request”
4. Map Glibl fields to ApproveThis (contact name → requester, notes → approval comments)
5. Test with a real contact entry
Done. Now any new Glibl contact can auto-generate an approval request with all context included.

Features You’ll Actually Use

Email approvals: External partners approve directly from their inbox – no login needed.
Thresholds: Auto-approve contacts under certain values to speed up low-risk adds.
Calculated fields: Automatically flag contacts from competitors based on company domain.
Real-time tracking: See which department bottlenecks approvals (looking at you, legal).

Why This Beats “Good Enough” Solutions

You could keep using Glibl alone and hope people remember to CC managers on new contact adds. Or use ApproveThis without integration and manually re-enter data. But when 40% of deals come from conference leads, can you afford the lag? This combo cuts the approval time for new contacts from days to hours – without adding more meetings.

Objections We Hear (And Why They’re Wrong)

“We’re not big enough for this.”
If you have 50+ employees and multiple approval layers, you’re already wasting time herding cats. This scales as you grow.

“Our team hates new software.”
Approvers interact via email. Requesters stay in Glibl. Only admins touch Zapier – and even that’s minimal.

“What if Zapier goes down?”
Approval requests fall back to manual entry. You’re not worse off than today.

When to Steal These Use Cases

- Healthcare: Patient referral contacts requiring compliance checks before being added to systems
- Education: Vendor contacts for school suppliers needing principal + finance approval
- Manufacturing: New component supplier contacts requiring engineering sign-off
- Nonprofits: Major donor contacts needing development director approval

Bottom Line

Glibl keeps your contacts organized. ApproveThis keeps your approvals from turning into company-wide debates. Together via Zapier, they make sure every new business card actually leads to business – not bureaucratic limbo.
