When Speed Meets Precision
Imagine a potential buyer texts your "For Sale" sign at 8 PM. By 8:15, your team has approved a personalized follow-up without anyone opening a laptop. This is what happens when you combine SimpleSignCalls' lead capture with ApproveThis' decision automation. For real estate professionals, mortgage brokers, and property managers, this integration turns sign call responses from reactive guesses into strategic workflows.
Why This Integration Works
SimpleSignCalls automatically routes inquiries from physical signs to your team. ApproveThis adds guardrails. Together, they ensure every lead gets:
- Consistent qualification (Is this lead worth pursuing?)
- Immediate assignment (Which agent handles it?)
- Budget approval (What incentives can we offer?)
Property management companies using this combo reduced lead response time from 4 hours to 11 minutes while maintaining corporate spending rules. That's the power of automating how you respond, not just that you respond.
Three Teams That Win
1. Sales Teams: No More Lead Triage Black Holes
Brokerages using SimpleSignCalls see 23% more sign call conversions than those using generic call tracking. Add ApproveThis, and you remove the 58% of leads that go cold during internal handoffs. Example workflow:
A lead texts "123 MAIN ST" to your sign. SimpleSignCalls triggers an ApproveThis request asking:
- Is this property in our active listings? (Auto-check via Zapier)
- Which agent has capacity? (Role-based routing)
- Approved response template (Pre-written scripts with dynamic fields)
Approvers get an email: "Approve sending Floorplan PDF to 555-1234?" One click sends the doc and notifies the agent.
2. Marketing Teams: Campaigns That Follow the Money
Regional managers use approval thresholds to control localized offers. If a lead asks about incentives:
- Auto-calculate max discount using ApproveThis' calculated fields
- Route offers over $5K to a senior broker
- Auto-approve responses under $2K
One RE/MAX franchise cut unauthorized discounts by 81% while maintaining response speed.
3. Operations: Maintenance Requests Solved Before They Escalate
For property managers, a text like "AC broken at 123 Oak" becomes:
- Instant vendor assignment (Approval Groups)
- Budget check against lease terms (Approval Thresholds)
- Auto-update to the tenant via SimpleSignCalls
Greystar Properties reduced after-hours emergency calls by routing non-urgent issues through morning approval batches.
Setup in 3 Steps (Without IT)
Step 1: Create a Zapier account if you don't have one. Zapier acts as the bridge between apps.
Step 2: Choose your trigger. For most teams, "New Lead in SimpleSignCalls" is the starting point.
Step 3: Set the action to "Create Request in ApproveThis." Map these fields:
- Lead phone number → Approver email list
- Property address → Dynamic field in approval template
- Inquiry type → Conditional routing rules
Pro Tip: Use ApproveThis' calculated fields to auto-populate offer limits based on property value data from your CRM.
Why This Beats Manual Approvals
Traditional approval chains fail with sign calls because:
- Agents forget to check unfamiliar systems
- Clients see delays as disinterest
- Offers exceed budget without oversight
ApproveThis solves this with:
- Email approvals: Approvers don't need to log in—they can approve/reject via email.
- Vacation rules: No more "Waiting on Jim's Out of Office reply."
- Audit trails: Track who approved what offer and when.
Real-World Impact
Case Study: A 50-agent brokerage in Austin integrated the two platforms:
- 67% fewer "Who’s handling this?" Slack messages
- 12% increase in same-day showings
- 100% compliance with corporate discount policies
Their secret? They used ApproveThis’ sequential approvals:
- Junior agent approves initial contact
- Senior broker approves any incentives
- Operations auto-schedules the showing
Beyond Real Estate
While built for sign calls, this integration adapts to:
- Contractor Services: Approve project estimates sent via text
- Retail: Manage curbside pickup special requests
- Healthcare: Triage patient inquiries after hours
