ApproveThis manages your LaunchList Integration approvals.

Why Combine ApproveThis and LaunchList?

LaunchList excels at building hype for your product launch through viral waitlists and referral programs. But managing the influx of signups – especially when approvals are required for beta access, VIP invites, or partnership offers – can bottleneck momentum. ApproveThis solves this by adding structured, automated approval workflows to your LaunchList campaigns. Together, they turn your prelaunch process into a well-oiled machine where submissions automatically route to the right decision-makers, approvals happen faster, and no lead falls through the cracks.

Key Integration Benefits

When connecting LaunchList to ApproveThis via Zapier, you gain:

• Zero Manual Handoffs: Automatically convert LaunchList submissions into approval requests
• External Collaboration: Approvers don’t need LaunchList access – perfect for agencies or cross-company reviews

A fitness app startup used this integration to manage 5,000+ beta tester applications. Marketing qualified leads in LaunchList, then ApproveThis automatically routed high-value candidates to their partnerships team for exclusive offers – cutting approval time from 3 days to 6 hours.

Real-World Use Cases

1. VIP Access Management for High-Stakes Launches

When LaunchList identifies super-referrers (users who drive 10+ signups), ApproveThis can:

- Trigger tiered approvals: First marketing confirms status, then legal reviews NDAs
- Automatically send VIP offer emails upon final approval
Example: A Web3 project used this flow to grant early NFT access to top 100 referrers, with compliance checks built into the approval chain.

2. Compliance-Driven Campaigns

For industries like fintech or healthtech, LaunchList signups often require regulatory checks. The integration allows:

- Auto-flagging submissions from restricted regions using ApproveThis’ calculated fields
- Routing high-risk approvals to specialized legal teams
Example: A telehealth platform automatically routes EU applicants to GDPR compliance officers before granting early access.

Setup Guide (5-Minute Zap)

Step 1: Create a Zapier account if you don’t have one
Step 2: Choose LaunchList as trigger app → Select "New Submission"
Step 3: Connect ApproveThis as action app → Select "Create Request"
Pro Tip: Use ApproveThis’ conditional logic to auto-approve submissions with 10+ referral points

Team-Specific Advantages

Marketing Teams

Eliminate campaign delays caused by manual executive sign-offs. ApproveThis’ email-based approvals let CMOs greenlight urgent assets directly from their inbox while keeping all feedback centralized.

Product Teams

Manage beta access at scale by setting approval thresholds (e.g., auto-approve users with 15+ referral points). Escalate edge cases to product leads via sequential routing.

Operations Teams

Use vacation delegation to prevent approval gridlock during holidays. If your Head of Ops is out, requests automatically reroute to their deputy without changing LaunchList settings.

Advanced Features Worth Exploring

Once your basic integration is running, leverage:

Dynamic Fields: Pull referral counts from LaunchList into ApproveThis to calculate loyalty tiers
Parallel Approvals: Let marketing and legal teams review submissions simultaneously instead of waiting for sequential sign-offs
Audit Trails: Maintain compliance-ready records showing exactly when each LaunchList applicant was approved/denied

Why This Combo Beats Manual Processes

Agencies managing multiple client launches often waste hours weekly chasing email approvals. With this integration:
1. Client stakeholders get approval requests in their preferred format (email or Slack)
2. All decisions sync back to LaunchList automatically
3. Missed deadlines trigger escalations via ApproveThis’ reminders

One growth agency reduced client approval rounds from 48 hours to 4 hours average using these automated workflows.
