When Approval Meets Action
Let's cut to the chase - if your team's still chasing down signatures in email threads or playing phone tag to get campaign approvals, you're leaving money on the table. ApproveThis and MailingVox integration via Zapier isn't just about checking boxes faster. It's about turning your communication pipelines into actual competitive advantages.
Why This Combo Works
MailingVox handles the heavy lifting of multi-channel campaigns (email, SMS, voice), while ApproveThis slashes approval bottlenecks. Together through Zapier, they create closed-loop systems where:
- Every approval directly triggers real-world actions
- Communication becomes part of the process, not an afterthought
For companies between 50-5,000 employees, this means campaigns move at market speed without compliance risks. Marketing teams get autonomy without anarchy. Finance keeps control without becoming the department of "no."
Real Workflows for Real Teams
1. New Contact Vetting for Sales Teams
When MailingVox captures a new lead, ApproveThis automatically routes it for sales manager approval. No more spreadsheet exports or Slack pings. Legal gets looped in automatically for high-value deals. Example: A SaaS company reduced lead response time from 48 hours to 15 minutes by auto-routing enterprise leads to both sales and security teams.
2. Campaign Launch Sequences
ApproveThis triggers MailingVox email/SMS sends the second leadership approves a campaign. We've seen e-commerce brands cut 3 days off their promo launch cycles by syncing approval dates with their email automation calendar.
3. Compliance-Checked SMS Replies
Customer texts coming through MailingVox? Route high-risk responses (like refund requests) through ApproveThis before your team replies. A fintech client eliminated compliance write-ups by requiring legal review on any SMS mentioning "refund" or "dispute."
4. Post-Approval List Building
Approved a VIP segment in ApproveThis? Those contacts automatically populate dedicated MailingVox groups. One luxury retailer uses this to ensure only vetted customers receive high-touch nurture sequences.
The Hidden Advantage: External Approvals
Here's where most teams get stuck - client approvals. With ApproveThis:
- Clients approve via email (no app access needed)
- Internal teams keep using MailingVox like normal
A marketing agency client onboarded 12 new enterprise accounts last quarter because they could prove clients retained final approval rights without needing new software logins.
Setting Up Without the Headache
Zapier does the heavy lifting here:
- Connect ApproveThis and MailingVox to your Zapier account
- Pick your trigger (new MailingVox contact, campaign response, etc.)
- Set approval rules in ApproveThis (thresholds, approvers, escalations)
- Map the "approved" outcome to MailingVox actions
Pro tip: Use ApproveThis' calculated fields to auto-route based on deal size or campaign type. A $50K upsell request shouldn't follow the same path as a $500 one.
Who Actually Benefits?
Marketing Teams
Launch campaigns faster without waiting for legal to check every comma. Auto-archive unapproved drafts in MailingVox to keep production calendars clean.
Operations
Enforce process without being the bad guy. Approval thresholds mean you only get pinged for exceptions, not every routine request.
Client Services
Give clients controlled access. They approve campaign tweaks via email while your team keeps full MailingVox access. No more screen-sharing to explain simple changes.
Features You'll Actually Use
Beyond basic approvals, leverage:
Vacation Delegation: Campaigns don't care if your CMO is hiking the Alps. Approvals auto-reassign so launches stay on schedule.
Conditional Thresholds: Auto-approve routine SMS blasts under $5K, but require CFO sign-off on anything crossing that line.
Real-Time Dashboards: See which MailingVox campaigns are stuck in approval limbo and why. Fix bottlenecks before they blow up timelines.
Common Objections (And Why They're Wrong)
"We don't need more automation." - This isn't about replacing people. It's about eliminating the 17 back-and-forth emails currently "approving" every campaign change.
"Our process is too complex." - ApproveThis handles multi-step, conditional approvals better than your current mix of PDFs and prayer.
Getting Started
If you're using MailingVox for outreach but still handling approvals via email chains or Monday morning standups, you're ready. Start with one workflow:
Try this: Next campaign approval cycle, map out how many hands touch the request before it goes live. Each handoff is a potential Zap.
Bottom Line
Approvals aren't about control - they're about moving faster without tripping over compliance landmines. By connecting ApproveThis and MailingVox through Zapier, you're not just streamlining steps. You're building an infrastructure where good decisions happen at the speed of your best ideas.
Book a 15-minute demo to see how approval workflows actually work when they're not held together by sticky notes and hope. Or start a free trial and connect your first Zap in under an hour. Your future self (the one not chasing down approvers at 11 PM) says thanks.
