When Approval Workflows Meet Prospect Hunting
Let’s cut through the noise: Sopro finds your leads, ApproveThis decides what to do with them. Together through Zapier, they turn "maybe later" into "approved, let’s move" before your sales team finishes their coffee.
Mid-market companies aren’t drowning in leads – they’re drowning in decisions about leads. Every email open, link click, or reply from Sopro could mean revenue… or could mean wasting your AE’s time on tire-kickers. That’s where putting ApproveThis in the driver’s seat changes the game.
Why This Combo Works For Teams Who Hate Meetings
Sopro’s good at the hunt. ApproveThis is better at the kill. Connect them via Zapier, and suddenly:
- Your compliance team sleeps better knowing every prospect interaction gets reviewed
- Sales ops stops playing phone tag with managers for deal approvals
- External partners (agencies, distributors) get looped in without logins or chaos
The kicker? Approvers don’t need a Sopro license. Just an email address. That’s key when dealing with clients or contractors who shouldn’t have full platform access.
Real-World Use Cases That Don’t Suck
1. “They Opened The Email – Can We Pitch Them Harder?”
The Setup: Sopro detects an email open → Zapier fires to ApproveThis → Sales manager approves upgrading lead tier.
Who Cares: Medtech companies where regulatory compliance requires documented approval before escalating prospect communication. ApproveThis logs every decision with timestamps and comments.
2. “Prospect Clicked Our Pricing Link – Time To Discount?”
The Play: Link click in Sopro → Auto-approval request sent to regional sales director via email → Approved? CRM deal stage updates automatically.
Why It’s Smart: For SaaS companies with complex discount tiers, this stops reps from undercutting prices without oversight. Bonus: ApproveThis’ calculated fields can auto-flag requests that exceed margin thresholds.
3. “They Replied – Do We Send Contract Docs?”
The Flow: Sopro email reply → Approval request routed to legal + sales → Both approve? DocuSign template fires.
Enterprise Angle: Manufacturers dealing with RFPs can’t afford unauthorized early commitments. Sequential approvals ensure legal eyes on terms before anything goes out.
Setting This Up Without Losing Your Mind
Zapier’s the glue, but here’s how to not mess it up:
- In ApproveThis, build your approval template first – who needs to approve, in what order, with what data.
- Zapier’s Sopro triggers (email opened/clicked/etc.) feed into ApproveThis’ “Create Request” action.
- Map Sopro’s prospect data (company, role, interaction type) into ApproveThis’ fields – keeps context for approvers.
Pro tip: Use ApproveThis’ vacation delegation so approvals don’t stall when someone’s OOO. Way better than frantic Slack pings.
Why Your CFO Won’t Hate This
Approval bottlenecks cost money. For a 200-person company processing 50 Sopro-driven requests weekly:
- Without automation: 15 minutes per request chasing approvals → 750 minutes/week
- With ApproveThis: Approvers get nudged automatically, escalations handled → 150 minutes/week
That’s 10 hours saved weekly. At $50/hour average ops salary, you’re saving $26k/year. Not counting lost deal momentum.
Teams That Win With This Integration
Sales Ops:
Stop being the approval nag. Set thresholds in ApproveThis so only deals over $50k need director eyes. Everything else auto-approves.
Compliance Officers:
Every Sopro interaction that required approval is auditable. Export reports showing who approved what, when, and why.
Channel Managers:
Partners use Sopro for local outreach? ApproveThis lets you review their prospect list without giving them full platform access.
What You Can’t Do (And Why That’s Good)
This isn’t a “set and forget” tool. ApproveThis forces human checks exactly where you need them. Example: If Sopro detects a CEO email open, maybe that auto-approves. But a junior buyer? Needs review. You set the rules.
Getting Started Without The Overhead
ApproveThis isn’t another app your team needs to log into daily. Approvers handle everything via email. For Sopro users, nothing changes – keep prospecting as usual.

The Bottom Line
Sopro finds opportunities. ApproveThis ensures you capitalize on them without risk or delay. Together via Zapier, they’re how mid-sized companies punch above their weight – turning prospect interest into closed deals faster than the “big guys” can schedule their next committee meeting.
