When Approval Processes Meet Customer Insights
Let’s cut to the chase: approvals suck when they’re manual. Vero knows who’s opening your emails. ApproveThis knows who’s holding up your decisions. Combine them through Zapier, and you get automated workflows where customer behavior actually triggers business actions – without chasing down Karen from accounting every time someone clicks a campaign link.
Why This Combo Doesn’t Just Look Good on a PowerPoint Slide
Vero tracks real customer actions. ApproveThis automates real business decisions. Together, they turn “we should update the CRM” into “the CRM updates itself when Brad approves the discount request triggered by that abandoned cart email.” Specifically:
- Marketing teams stop guessing which campaigns need executive sign-off
- Operations teams stop herding cats for purchase approvals
Bonus: Approvers only need ApproveThis access. Your external vendors don’t need Vero logins to approve invoices tied to email campaign budgets.
Actual Use Cases That Don’t Require a PhD in Zapier
1. Email Engagement Triggers Approval Requests
When a high-value customer clicks a custom quote link in your Vero email:
What happens: ApproveThis auto-creates a sales approval request with deal size, customer tier, and rep notes.
Who cares: E-commerce companies processing 500+ quotes/month. Now the sales director approves exceptions directly in email while commuting.
2. Approved Deals Update Customer Profiles Automatically
When finance approves a custom contract via ApproveThis:
What happens: Vero adds “Approved for VIP Terms” to the customer’s profile, triggering targeted onboarding emails.
Who cares: SaaS companies with tiered pricing. Customer success teams stop offering $10K upgrades to $100/month accounts.
3. Campaign Metrics Decide Approval Paths
If a Vero email campaign gets 30%+ opens:
What happens: ApproveThis routes budget increase requests straight to CMO instead of getting stuck in middle management.
Who cares: Marketing agencies managing 20+ client accounts. Now they escalate winners faster without daily check-ins.
Department-Specific Wins That Might Actually Get You Promoted
Marketing Teams: Stop Being Ghosted by Legal
Use ApproveThis’ calculated fields to auto-flag campaigns needing compliance review. Example: Any email with “limited time offer” in subject line requires legal approval before the Vero send button is pressed. Approval groups ensure CMO, CFO, and legal all sign off in sequence without 27 forward/reply-all emails.
Operations: Kill the Spreadsheet Approval Matrix
Set approval thresholds so purchase requests under $5K get auto-approved if the requesting department hasn’t blown their Q2 budget. If they have? Escalate to VP via ApproveThis with Vero data showing how their last approved purchase impacted customer retention metrics.
Customer Success: No More “Who Approved This?!”
When ApproveThis greenlights a custom SLA, Vero tags the account and triggers a 14-day check-in campaign. All approvals are logged with timestamps and comments – useful when the customer complains about response times during renewal talks.
Setting This Up Without Hiring a Zapier Consultant
- Connect both apps in Zapier (takes 4 minutes)
- Pick a trigger: Vero email click? Approval completed?
- Add filters: Only escalate requests over $X or from Y department
- Test with real data: Send yourself a Vero email and approve/deny it
Pro tip: Use ApproveThis’ vacation delegation so summer Fridays don’t bottleneck approvals when Karen’s out paddleboarding.
Why This Isn’t Just Another “Integration” Buzzword
Most tools claim integration. This actually removes two universal headaches:
Problem 1: Marketing runs campaigns, but finance approves budgets on a different timeline.
Fix: Vero engagement metrics trigger ApproveThis requests with built-in deadline reminders.
Problem 2: Sales makes promises that customer success can’t track.
Fix: Approved deals in ApproveThis push updated customer tiers to Vero, auto-sending the right onboarding sequence.
Real Talk: When to Use This Combo
If you’re a 150-person company where:
- Marketing’s email metrics don’t connect to actual business approvals
- Customer-facing teams make promises before checking internal systems
- Legal/compliance reviews happen after campaigns launch (yikes)
…then yes, this integration will save actual work hours. If you’re a 5-person startup? Maybe wait until you have actual approval processes to automate.
Bottom Line
ApproveThis + Vero via Zapier is for companies tired of:
- “Who approved this email?”
- “Why wasn’t legal looped in?”
- “The customer says we promised X, but our system says Y”
It’s not magic. It’s just connecting systems that should’ve been talking all along. Set it up in an afternoon, and watch approval delays drop from days to hours.
