ApproveThis manages your Odoo CRM Integration approvals.

Two Platforms, One Competitive Edge

When Odoo CRM and ApproveThis work together through Zapier, businesses eliminate the gaps between sales activity and decision-making. Odoo CRM excels at organizing leads, tracking interactions, and nurturing opportunities. ApproveThis adds precision to critical decisions  whether its greenlighting a high-value lead, approving a client discount, or validating a sales contract clause. Together, they create a closed-loop system where approvals happen faster, data stays synchronized, and teams operate with clarity.

Consider a manufacturing company: Their sales team uses Odoo to manage complex deals with custom pricing. By integrating ApproveThis, any quote requiring director approval automatically triggers a review workflow. Approvers get an email with key details  no Odoo login required  and their decision instantly updates the CRM. Deals move 40% faster, and finance avoids costly oversights.

Where Odoo CRM Ends, ApproveThis Begins

Odoo CRM shines at pipeline management but isnt built for structured approvals. Sales teams often resort to Slack pings, forwarded emails, or manual spreadsheets  methods that lack audit trails and create bottlenecks. ApproveThis fills this gap with enforceable rules: tiered approvals for deal sizes, automatic delegation during vacations, or calculated fields that flag contracts needing legal review.

Example: A marketing agency uses Odoo to track client leads. When a new lead exceeds a $50K project budget, ApproveThis routes it to the CFO. If denied, the CRM automatically tags the lead as "Requires Re-Scoping." No missed emails. No stalled deals.

Use Cases That Transform Sales Operations

1. Lead Qualification Without the Chaos

The Challenge: High-volume teams waste hours debating which leads deserve pursuit. SDRs juggle CRM entries and approval follow-ups.

The Integration: New Odoo leads meeting specific criteria (deal size, industry, etc.) trigger ApproveThis workflows. Sales directors approve/deny via email, and the CRM updates instantly.

Who Benefits: Enterprise SaaS Teams: Route enterprise-tier leads to a committee. Approvers see deal size, competitor info, and ICP alignment in one click. Denied leads go to nurture campaigns.

2. Contract Reviews That Dont Derail Deals

The Challenge: Legal teams drown in contract reviews. Sales complains about slow turnaround.

The Integration: When an Odoo opportunity reaches "Contract Sent" stage, ApproveThis routes the document (attached via Zapier) to legal. Approved contracts auto-update the CRM; denied ones notify sales with comments.

Who Benefits: Consulting Firms: Ensure every SOW meets compliance rules before signatures. Legal uses calculated fields to flag problematic clauses.

3. Budget Approvals That Keep Deals Moving

The Challenge: Discount requests, travel expenses, or custom deliverables stall in inboxes.

The Integration: Sales reps submit requests via Odoo. ApproveThis applies thresholds: 10% discounts auto-approve; higher ones escalate. Approved budgets sync to the CRM, locking in terms.

Who Benefits: Medical Device Sales: Regional managers approve on-site demo costs against quarterly budgets. Denials alert reps to propose alternatives.

Setup Made Simple (No Coders Needed)

Using Zapier, connect Odoo CRM and ApproveThis in under 15 minutes:

1. Template Selection: Choose a pre-built Zap or start fresh. Popular option: "Create ApproveThis Request for New Odoo Leads."
2. Trigger Setup: Select Odoo CRM as the trigger app. Pick "New Lead" or "Opportunity Stage Changed."
3. Action Setup: Choose ApproveThis's "Create Request" action. Map Odoo fields (lead value, contact) to approval templates.
4. Conditional Logic (Optional): Add filters to only trigger for leads over $X or specific industries.

Pro Tip: Use ApproveThis's calculated fields to auto-populate deal scorecards or ROI estimates within requests.
