Why Combine ApproveThis with NFC World?

NFC World transforms how businesses capture leads by embedding contact details into NFC-enabled cards or QR codes. But what happens after a prospect taps their phone? Without a system to vet these leads, teams risk wasting time on unqualified contacts or missing time-sensitive opportunities. That’s where ApproveThis steps in. By connecting NFC World to ApproveThis via Zapier, companies add a layer of intelligent automation to their lead management process. Together, they ensure every new contact gets reviewed by the right person – instantly.

How the Integration Works

When someone scans an NFC World card, their details (name, company, contact info) automatically trigger an approval request in ApproveThis. Decision-makers receive an email with all necessary context to approve or reject the lead. Approved contacts flow into your CRM; rejected ones get flagged for follow-up. Since ApproveThis approvers don’t need NFC World licenses, external partners or executives can review leads without logins or training.

Business Benefits by Team

Sales Teams: Qualify Leads Before They Go Cold

Imagine a medical device rep at a conference. They hand out NFC cards to 50 prospects. With this integration:

  • Each scan triggers an approval request to the sales manager
  • Manager reviews company size and budget thresholds in ApproveThis
  • Approved leads sync to Salesforce with next-step tasks

Result: Reps spend 100% of their time on pre-vetted, sales-ready leads.

Marketing Teams: Validate Event ROI in Real Time

At a trade show, marketing distributes NFC-linked promo materials. As scans happen:

  • ApproveThis routes high-value titles (C-Suite, Directors) to sales
  • Mid-level contacts trigger automated nurture sequences
  • Unqualified leads receive surveys to improve targeting

Result: Marketing gains instant visibility into event performance.

Operations Teams: Enforce Compliance Automatically

For businesses in regulated industries (finance, healthcare), NFC World captures sensitive lead data. ApproveThis adds guardrails:

Example: A pharmaceutical company requires legal review for all leads from certain regions. Approval workflows automatically escalate these contacts, blocking CRM entry until compliance signs off. Calculated fields in ApproveThis check for red flags like restricted country codes.

Key Use Cases in Action

Use Case 1: Instant Lead Vetting for Sales Teams

When NFC World detects a New Company Contact, ApproveThis:

  1. Checks if the company matches your ideal customer profile
  2. Routes enterprise-level leads to senior reps
  3. Flags competitors for competitive intelligence review

A logistics company used this to reduce unqualified lead handoffs by 73% in Q1.

Use Case 2: Automated Partner Onboarding

Distributors sharing NFC World cards can trigger co-branding approval workflows:

Scenario: A partner submits a custom NFC card design via form. The request routes through ApproveThis to legal, branding, and product teams. Conditional logic skips unnecessary approvers – if legal approves, branding reviews automatically. Vacation delegation ensures no bottlenecks.

Setup Guide: ApproveThis + NFC World in 15 Minutes

Step 1: Create a Zapier account (free tier works)

Step 2: Set up your NFC World trigger:

Choose either "New Contact" or "New Company Contact" as the trigger event.

Step 3: Connect ApproveThis as the action app:

Select "Create Request" and map NFC World fields (company, title) to your approval template. Add conditional logic if needed (e.g., auto-approve contacts under $5K potential).

Step 4: Test with a live NFC scan. Approvers will receive email requests they can approve without logging into either system.

Advanced Features to Leverage

Approval Thresholds for Hands-Off Automation

Set rules like "Auto-approve leads from Fortune 500 companies" or "Escalate all healthcare leads to compliance." NFC World data (company size, industry) fuels these decisions without manual input.

Calculated Fields for Smarter Routing

Example: A real estate agency calculates lead priority based on NFC World data:

(Property Budget) ÷ (Days on Market) = Approval Urgency Score

High scores route to senior brokers; others go to junior agents.

Who Benefits Most from This Integration?

Industries

Healthcare: Ensure patient referrals meet network guidelines before follow-up.

Manufacturing: Vet supplier contacts against compliance databases during trade shows.

Company Sizes

Startups: Automate founder review of high-value VC leads captured via NFC at pitch events.

Enterprises: Enforce regional approval chains for global leads without manual sorting.

Why This Pairing Outperforms Manual Processes

Before integration, a typical lead handoff looked like:

1. Sales rep exports NFC World contacts daily
2. Manager reviews spreadsheet
3. Emails approvals individually
4. Rep imports data to CRM

Now:

1. Lead scanned → 2. Auto-approved or routed → 3. CRM updated in real time

For a team processing 200 leads/week, this saves ~15 hours of manual work.
