Why These Two Apps Hate Wasting Your Time

Let’s cut through the corporate speak: approvals suck when they involve 17 forwarded emails, three "who’s responsible for this?" Slack messages, and a spreadsheet that somehow always gets edited by the wrong person. That’s why pairing ApproveThis (the anti-email approval system) with LeadSnap (the CRM that actually helps sales teams close deals) through Zapier isn’t just convenient – it’s a productivity steroid shot for teams tired of process constipation.

ApproveThis handles the bureaucratic heavy lifting – routing requests, chasing down signatures, automatically escalating stuck decisions. LeadSnap keeps your sales pipeline moving by making sure no lead falls through the cracks. Connect them via Zapier, and you’ve essentially built a self-driving car for your business processes. No PhD in "integration hell" required.

Real World Uses That Don’t Feel Like Corporate Fluff

Use Case 1: Stop Letting Junk Leads Clog Your Sales Pipeline

Picture this: your marketing team’s running a webinar that attracts 500 sign-ups. 300 are competitors, 150 are tire-kickers, and 50 might actually buy something. With ApproveThis + LeadSnap via Zapier, you can:

  • Auto-create approval requests in ApproveThis for every new LeadSnap entry
  • Set up criteria (deal size, lead score, region) to auto-approve good leads
  • Flag questionable leads for manual review before they hit your sales team’s radar

Who this helps: Marketing ops teams at SaaS companies tired of sales complaining about lead quality. Example: A cybersecurity firm uses approval thresholds to auto-route any lead over $50k potential to senior reps, while sending smaller deals through a junior rep approval queue.

Use Case 2: Turn Approved Requests Into Sales Opportunities (Without the Copy/Paste)

Ever had a client approve a project scope in ApproveThis, then watched your sales team waste half a day manually recreating that info in LeadSnap? Zapier nukes that nonsense:

  • Approved budget request in ApproveThis? Instant LeadSnap entry with all relevant details
  • Denied requests automatically tagged in LeadSnap for follow-up in 6 months
  • Approval comments sync to LeadSnap notes so sales knows exactly what terms were negotiated

Who this helps: Enterprise sales teams dealing with complex procurement processes. Example: A medical device manufacturer automatically creates leads for approved demo requests, attaching compliance docs so sales knows exactly what they can promise.

Setup That’s Simpler Than Your Morning Coffee Routine

Connecting ApproveThis and LeadSnap via Zapier takes about 7 minutes if you’re moving slow. Here’s the cheat code:

  1. Log into Zapier (or create a free account if you’re new)
  2. Choose “LeadSnap” as your trigger app
  3. Pick the “New Lead” trigger
  4. Select ApproveThis as your action app
  5. Map LeadSnap fields to ApproveThis’ request form
  6. Test with a real lead (pro tip: use your CEO’s info for laughs)

Need the reverse flow? Repeat the steps but start with ApproveThis’ “New Request” trigger and end with LeadSnap’s “Create Lead” action. Done.

Department-Specific Wins That Actually Matter

For Sales Leaders:

Your team closes 12% faster because they’re not chasing internal approvals. Custom approval thresholds in ApproveThis mean deals under $10k get auto-approved based on LeadSnap’s lead score, while bigger deals route to you with all the context needed to say “yes” during your 2pm bathroom break.

For Marketing Teams:

Finally prove ROI on that $50k trade show. Every scanned badge becomes a LeadSnap entry that either gets instantly approved (hello, hot lead) or flagged for nurture campaigns. Bonus: Use ApproveThis’ calculated fields to auto-prioritize leads based on webinar attendance duration.

For Operations Nerds:

Two words: audit trails. Every approval decision in ApproveThis ties directly to LeadSnap records. When compliance asks who approved that sketchy discount, you’ve got timestamps, comments, and delegate info in one dashboard. Vacation delegation means deals don’t stall when Karen from legal is on safari.

Why This Isn’t Just Another “Integration”

ApproveThis doesn’t just send data to LeadSnap – it acts as a gatekeeper. Features like calculated fields let you set dynamic approval rules (e.g., “Automatically approve leads from Fortune 500 companies if lead score > 80”). Approval groups prevent your $250k enterprise deal from getting stuck because the product team’s approver is at lunch.

And here’s the kicker: external partners can approve requests via email without needing a LeadSnap login. Your client’s CFO approves the contract terms in ApproveThis, which then updates LeadSnap’s opportunity stage. No more “I never saw that email” excuses.

No BS Next Steps

If you’re still manually forwarding approval emails between departments, you’re essentially using carrier pigeons in the age of SpaceX. ApproveThis + LeadSnap via Zapier works for companies where:

  • Deals die in approval purgatory more often than in actual sales conversations
  • Marketing and sales blame each other for lead quality issues
  • You’ve got more approval-related spreadsheets than employees

FAQs For The Skeptics

“We already use [Other Approval Tool].”
Cool. Does it integrate with your CRM without requiring approvers to log into yet another system? ApproveThis’ email-based approvals work for clients/vendors who’d rather not learn new software.

“Our approval process is too complex.”
Define “complex.” Conditional workflows? Multi-tiered approvals with fallback approvers? Calculated fields that adjust thresholds based on deal size? Yeah, we handle that. Daily.

“What if Zapier goes down?”
Then half the internet breaks, and you’ve got bigger problems. But seriously – both ApproveThis and LeadSnap maintain native API connections outside Zapier if you ever need to scale beyond 10k leads/month.
