ApproveThis manages your Tolstoy Integration approvals.

When Approval Workflows Meet Video Marketing

Let’s be real – chasing down approvals sucks. Especially when your team’s juggling hot leads from interactive Tolstoy videos while trying not to let deals rot in someone’s inbox. This is where connecting ApproveThis and Tolstoy via Zapier turns into your secret weapon. We’re talking about automating the bureaucratic sludge out of your lead management so your team can focus on what matters: closing deals, not chasing signatures.

Why This Combo Works

Tolstoy’s great at grabbing attention with video – think personalized demos, product walkthroughs, or interactive lead forms. But once those leads come in? That’s where most teams hit a wall. ApproveThis doesn’t just automate approvals; it adds structure to the chaos that happens after the “cool video” part ends. Together, they handle the full lifecycle: capture attention → collect data → make decisions → move fast.

No More License Jenga

Here’s the kicker: approvers only need access to ApproveThis, not Tolstoy. Perfect for scenarios like getting client sign-off on campaign concepts or letting external partners review sales contracts without paying for seats they don’t need.

Real-World Use Cases That Don’t Suck

1. Instant Lead Review for Sales Teams

Picture this: A prospect interacts with a Tolstoy video explaining your enterprise SaaS pricing tiers. They input their budget and company size. Zapier automatically fires that lead to ApproveThis, where:

• Deals under $10K get auto-approved for the sales team to handle
• Enterprise deals trigger a VP review
• International leads route to regional managers

Who this helps: SaaS companies and agencies drowning in lead volume. Cuts response time from days to hours.

2. Dynamic Content Approval Workflows

Marketing team creates a new Tolstoy video for a product launch. Instead of Slack pings and missed emails, ApproveThis automatically:

• Routes legal review to compliance
• Sends brand guidelines check to marketing ops
• Only escalates to execs if production costs exceed $5K

Who this helps: Distributed marketing teams and franchises needing consistent brand control without micromanagement.

Features That Actually Matter

We’re not here to sell you fluff. These are the tools that make the integration stick:

Thresholds That Do the Dirty Work

Set ApproveThis to auto-approve small requests (like sub-$500 expenses tied to Tolstoy campaigns) while flagging bigger spends for human review. No more babysitting routine decisions.

Email Approvals That Don’t Require a PhD

Approvers can greenlight Tolstoy-driven requests directly from their inbox. No logins, no passwords, no “I didn’t see the notification” excuses.

Vacation Coverage That Doesn’t Crash

When your CMO is on a beach, ApproveThis automatically reroutes Tolstoy video approvals to their deputy. No more stalled campaigns because someone’s off-grid.

Setup: Less Time Than Your Morning Coffee

Using Zapier, connect Tolstoy and ApproveThis in three steps:

1. Choose your Tolstoy trigger (new lead, response, etc.)
2. Map key data points to ApproveThis fields
3. Set approval rules (who needs to approve what)

Pro tip: Use ApproveThis’ calculated fields to auto-score Tolstoy leads based on engagement metrics before they even hit someone’s queue.

Bottom Line: Approval Processes Shouldn’t Be the Bottleneck

Tolstoy helps you capture attention. ApproveThis makes sure you don’t lose momentum once you’ve got it. Together, they turn video-driven leads into closed deals faster than your current “email the CFO and pray” system.

Next Steps (No BS)
