Why ApproveThis + SendFox Is a Game-Changer

Email marketing thrives on speed and precision, while approvals demand accountability. SendFox simplifies campaign creation and list management, but even the most polished emails can stall if they’re stuck waiting for legal, financial, or leadership sign-offs. ApproveThis eliminates these bottlenecks by adding structured approval workflows to SendFox’s email automation. Together, they turn fragmented processes into a single, auditable system where campaigns move forward only after the right stakeholders agree – without requiring approvers to log into SendFox.

How Teams Unlock New Efficiency

Content creators, marketers, and operations teams often juggle multiple tools. ApproveThis acts as the connective layer between SendFox and the decision-makers who influence outcomes. For example:

  • Marketing Teams: Route new campaigns for compliance reviews before sending.
  • Sales Teams: Automatically add approved leads to nurture sequences.

Since ApproveThis approvers don’t need SendFox licenses, external partners (like agencies or clients) can review campaigns directly via email. This reduces back-and-forth and keeps projects on track.

4 Ways to Automate Approval Workflows

1. Pre-Send Campaign Reviews

Problem: A media company’s legal team needs to vet promotional emails but doesn’t use SendFox. Manual forwarding leads to version chaos.
Solution: When a SendFox campaign is drafted, ApproveThis triggers a review workflow. Legal receives an email with campaign content, clicks “Approve,” and the campaign is cleared for launch. Conditional logic in ApproveThis routes high-risk campaigns to additional stakeholders.
Features Used: Email-based approvals, conditional routing, real-time tracking.

2. High-Quality List Building

Problem: A consulting firm’s sales team adds leads to SendFox manually, risking outdated or unvetted contacts.
Solution: New SendFox contacts trigger an ApproveThis request to sales managers. Only approved contacts are added to nurture campaigns. Rejected entries trigger a Slack alert for follow-up.
Features Used: Approval thresholds (auto-approve repeat clients), calculated fields (lead score validation).

3. Compliance-Driven Unsubscribes

Problem: A healthcare provider must document why contacts unsubscribe to meet regulatory requirements.
Solution: When a SendFox unsubscribe occurs, ApproveThis creates an approval request for compliance officers. Officers add notes (e.g., “Patient opted out post-appointment”) directly in the audit trail.
Features Used: Approval groups (multi-department reviews), real-time audit logs.

4. Client-Driven Campaign Edits

Problem: Agencies waste time screenshotting SendFox drafts for client feedback.
Solution: When a client-specific campaign is saved in SendFox, ApproveThis sends the client an email with a preview link and edit requests. Clients comment directly in the approval thread, and changes sync via Zapier.
Features Used: Email-based collaboration, version history.

Who Benefits Most?

Marketing Teams: Cut campaign launch times by 40–60% by replacing meetings with automated approvals. Use vacation delegation to avoid delays when approvers are OOO.
Operations Leaders: Enforce spending rules (e.g., auto-approve campaigns under $5K, escalate larger budgets).
External Collaborators: Clients, vendors, or legal teams approve directly via email – no tool training needed.
