ApproveThis manages your Common Ninja Integration approvals.

When Your Website Needs Adult Supervision

Let’s be real – your website isn’t just a digital brochure anymore. Between bookings, lead forms, and those spin-to-win popups that marketing loves, it’s become a non-stop request generator. Common Ninja’s widgets handle the frontend chaos beautifully, but here’s the problem: every submission creates work for someone. Enter ApproveThis – the approval layer that keeps your team from drowning in “Hey, can you check this?” Slack messages.

How This Tag Team Works

Common Ninja’s 150+ widgets collect data. ApproveThis decides what happens to it. Connect them via Zapier, and you’ve got a system where:

• Bookings don’t get double-booked because Susan forgot to check the calendar
• Discount codes from spin-the-wheel widgets don’t go out without CFO sign-off

The magic happens in three steps: Common Ninja triggers an action → Zapier shoves the data to ApproveThis → The right people approve/deny via email without needing a Common Ninja login. No extra seats, no new software – just decisions getting made.

Use Cases That Actually Matter

1. Booking Systems That Don’t Embarrass You

Common Ninja’s booking widget is slick until someone tries to reserve your conference room during the all-hands meeting. Connect it to ApproveThis to:

- Require facilities team approval for room bookings over 50 people
- Auto-deny requests that conflict with maintenance schedules
- Send cleaning crew tickets when AV equipment gets booked

Who needs this: Hotels using booking widgets for spa packages (no, Karen from accounting shouldn’t approve $200 massages), co-working spaces managing member reservations.

2. Forms That Don’t Waste Everyone’s Time

Your “Contact Sales” form gets 300 submissions a week. 290 are students looking for free product. Zapier filters submissions to ApproveThis where:

- BDRs only get leads that meet ICP criteria
- Legal reviews requests mentioning competitors
- Sales directors approve custom demo environments

Real example: A cybersecurity company routes all “enterprise plan” inquiries through approval thresholds – anything over 5,000 seats auto-escalates to the CRO.

3. Marketing Campaigns That Don’t Go Rogue

Common Ninja’s spin-to-win and scratch card widgets are conversion gold… until someone offers 100% off by accident. ApproveThis acts as the guardrail:

- Requires CMO approval for discounts over 30%
- Sends approved promo codes directly to Mailchimp
- Triggers inventory checks before shipping prizes

Cold hard benefit: A DTC eyewear brand stopped 17% of discount abuse in Q1 by adding approval checks to their “spin for deal” widget.

Features You’ll Actually Use

We’re not here to sell you AI blockchain approval workflows. Here’s what matters when connected to Common Ninja:

Approval Thresholds: Auto-approve $25 discounts, flag anything over $100. Because nobody wants to manually approve coffee coupons.
Vacation Delegation: Sales director out climbing Kilimanjaro? Requests automatically reroute to their VP without missing SLAs.
Calculated Fields: Dynamically adjust approval chains based on submission data – high-value leads jump the queue.

Setting This Up Without Losing Your Mind

1. In Zapier, create a new Zap
2. Trigger: Choose your Common Ninja widget (booking, form, etc.)
3. Action: Select ApproveThis “Create Request”
4. Map fields (takes 90 seconds if you’re slow at typing)
5. Activate and stop micromanaging submissions

Pro tip: Use ApproveThis’ pre-built templates for Common Ninja workflows – they already include conditional logic for most use cases.

Who Actually Benefits (Besides Your Sanity)

Operations Teams: Facility requests via forms → approve based on real-time room availability checks.
Marketing: UGC campaigns using Common Ninja quizzes → legal approval for user-generated content before publishing.
Customer Success: High-touch clients submitting feature requests → route to product team with priority scoring.

The Bottom Line

Common Ninja makes your website functional. ApproveThis makes it responsible. Together, they turn “Hey, should we allow this?” into a process that doesn’t rely on sticky notes and crossed fingers.

If your approval process involves more than two “per my last email” follow-ups, it’s time to see how this works live. Or keep playing calendar tag – we don’t judge.
