ApproveThis manages your Talkie Integration approvals.

Integration Category: Customer Support
Two Platforms, One Competitive Advantage
When Talkie's chatbots capture leads and ApproveThis handles decision-making, businesses achieve something rare: automated conversations that actually finish the job. Unlike basic chatbot tools that dump leads into CRMs to gather dust, this integration ensures every customer interaction progresses toward resolution through structured approvals. Marketing teams qualify prospects while sales managers approve discounts in real time. Support teams escalate urgent cases without leaving the chat interface. Finance maintains control over custom quotes. All without manual follow-ups.
Talkie excels at converting visitors into leads through targeted conversations, but many businesses hit a wall when those interactions require human decisions. ApproveThis removes that friction point by embedding approval workflows directly into Talkie's chat sequences. The result? Faster deal cycles, consistent policy enforcement, and measurable accountability across teams.
Why This Integration Works for Customer-Centric Teams
Most approval tools create silos. ApproveThis amplifies Talkie's value by making approvals a natural extension of live conversations. Consider these advantages:
- Approvers never need Talkie logins – Clients, executives, or external partners review requests via email
- Conditional logic prevents bottlenecks – Auto-approve small discounts under $500, but escalate larger deals to directors
- Real-time visibility – Track which chat-driven requests are pending across sales, support, and operations
Sales Teams: From Chat to Closed Deal in Hours
A Talkie chatbot qualifies a enterprise lead who requests a 20% volume discount. Instead of stalling the conversation, the "Zapier Block" triggers an ApproveThis workflow that:
- Routes the request to the regional sales director
- Attaches the prospect's chat transcript and CRM deal history
- Auto-calculates margin impact using ApproveThis' calculated fields
The director approves via email within 15 minutes, and Talkie automatically sends the custom proposal – all before competitors even send a discovery call invite.
Support Teams: Escalate Without the Headache
When a high-value customer reports a critical bug via Talkie, the support bot uses ApproveThis' Zapier integration to:
- Create an urgent approval ticket for engineering
- Attach chat logs and error reports
- Apply priority SLAs based on the customer's contract tier
Engineering leads get context-rich requests in their existing tools (Jira, Slack), while ApproveThis tracks response times for compliance reports.
Building Smarter Chat Flows with Approval Guardrails
Talkie's "Zapier Block" becomes a strategic control point when paired with ApproveThis' logic. Example use cases:
1. Instant Discount Authority for Field Sales
A manufacturing equipment seller uses Talkie chatbots at trade shows. When reps offer on-the-spot demo bookings, the bot:
- Checks ApproveThis via Zapier to confirm the rep's remaining discount budget
- Auto-approves discounts under 10%
- Escalates larger requests to sales ops with real-time margin calculations
Result: 68% faster deal closures at controlled discount rates.
2. Compliance-Friendly Content Approvals
A healthcare provider's Talkie chatbot collects patient testimonials. Before publishing, ApproveThis:
- Routes submissions to legal and compliance teams
- Applies HIPAA disclosure checklists
- Records audit trails with timestamps and comments
Implementation: No Coding, Maximum Control
Connecting Talkie and ApproveThis takes under 20 minutes:
- In Zapier, set Talkie's "Zapier Block Activated" as the trigger
- Map chat data (user email, request details) to ApproveThis fields
- Configure approval rules (thresholds, approvers, SLAs)
Pro Tip: Use ApproveThis' calculated fields to auto-populate deal sizes or compliance scores based on Talkie chat data.
Critical Features You'll Use Daily
Vacation Delegation: Approvers out of office? Requests automatically reroute to backups without breaking SLAs.
Approval Groups: Require consensus from IT and procurement for high-cost chatbot integrations.
Real-Time Dashboards: Monitor how many chat-originated requests are pending vs. resolved this week.
The Bottom Line for Decision Makers
Talkie drives conversations; ApproveThis drives decisions. Together, they ensure every chatbot interaction that needs human input gets it – fast, trackable, and policy-compliant. Sales teams close deals without waiting for committee approvals. Support teams escalate issues without chaotic Slack pings. Finance maintains budget control without manual spreadsheets.
