Why Approval Automation Matters for Modern Marketing Teams
EOwn empowers marketers to create high-converting landing pages and capture lead data, while ApproveThis brings military-grade precision to decision workflows. When connected through Zapier, these platforms create a closed-loop system where every form submission triggers immediate action - not manual follow-up.
Consider the math: Marketing teams handling 50+ weekly campaign approvals waste 12-15 hours on status checks and reminder emails. With automated routing between EOwn and ApproveThis, that time drops to 30 minutes while cutting approval cycle times by 68% (based on typical customer results).
Three Ways This Integration Transforms Operations
1. From Form Submission to Approved Campaign in 90 Seconds
When a sales team submits a new landing page request via EOwn's form:
- Zapier instantly creates an ApproveThis request
- Legal receives the draft copy for compliance review
- Marketing directors get design mockups with one-click approval
Example: A healthcare SaaS company reduced their compliance review process from 11 days to 48 hours by automatically routing EOwn submissions through ApproveThis' HIPAA-compliant workflow.
2. Client Approvals Without Account Sharing
External stakeholders can approve/reject EOwn content directly via email through ApproveThis - no need to create EOwn logins for every client. Approval groups ensure agencies get consensus from multiple decision-makers while maintaining version control.
3. Budget Guardrails for Performance Marketing
Configure ApproveThis thresholds to auto-approve EOwn campaign requests under $5k, while routing larger budgets to CFO review. Calculated fields automatically compare requested spend against quarterly allocations.
Implementation Guide: Connect EOwn to ApproveThis in 15 Minutes
Step 1: Create a Zapier account (free tier works for testing)
Step 2: Set EOwn as your trigger app - choose "New Form Submission"
Step 3: Select ApproveThis as your action app - choose "Create Request"
Pro Tip: Map EOwn form fields to ApproveThis templates using Zapier's field mapper. Add conditional logic to route:
- Design requests to creative directors
- Budget increases to finance
- Legal copy to compliance officers

Real-World Success Patterns
Ecommerce Brands
An apparel company uses EOwn forms for new product page requests. Their ApproveThis workflow routes designs to merchandising, copy to SEO teams, and pricing to category managers - cutting time-to-publish from 3 weeks to 5 days.
Enterprise IT
A Fortune 500 company automates approval of EOwn-generated service requests. ApproveThis enforces SOX compliance by requiring dual approvals for all infrastructure changes, with automatic audit trails.
Implementation Checklist

2. Identify key stakeholders per request type
3. Build ApproveThis templates mirroring existing workflows
4. Configure Zapier connections with field mapping

Why This Beats Manual Processes
Traditional Approach:
EOwn form → Email alert → Spreadsheet tracking → Slack reminders → Email approval → Manual entry
Automated Flow:
EOwn → Zapier → ApproveThis → Auto-routing → Email/SMS approval → System of record update
