When Sales Automation Meets Approval Control
Let's get real - sales teams live in Klenty like it's their digital office. They're blasting emails, tracking opens, and praying for replies. Meanwhile, approvals for discounts, contracts, or custom proposals get stuck in email threads or worse, someone's Slack DMs. This is where ApproveThis comes in like that organized friend who actually uses their calendar.
We're not saying Klenty needs a babysitter. But when you connect these two through Zapier, you get automated sales outreach that actually knows when to ask for permission. Think of it as giving your sales team guardrails instead of handcuffs.
Why This Combo Works Better Than Your Current Setup
Klenty handles the "go go go" of sales outreach. ApproveThis handles the "whoa, let's double-check that" moments. Together, they prevent these classic sales ops nightmares:
- Deals stuck waiting for legal/executive sign-off
- Discounts given without proper oversight
- Prospects ghosting because follow-up timing sucks
Here's the kicker: ApproveThis approvers don't need Klenty licenses. Your CFO can approve special pricing without learning yet another sales tool. Your client's legal team can review contracts without getting added to your CRM. This is huge for companies working with external partners.
Real-World Use Cases That Don't Suck
1. Automatic Approval Triggers for Hot Prospects
When a prospect replies to a Klenty email (finally!), that's your golden ticket. But what if the reply requires special handling? With our first Zapier template:
How it works: Prospect replies → ApproveThis creates approval request → Sales lead reviews → Approved? Klenty auto-sends next steps.
Example: A SaaS company uses this to handle enterprise trial extensions. Sales reps get instant replies, approvals happen in <10 mins, Klenty triggers the extension offer email. No more "I'll check with my manager" delays.
2. Keep Your CRM Clean Without the Busywork
Nothing kills momentum like data entry. When new ApproveThis requests come in (say, for a marketing partnership), this integration automatically adds the prospect to Klenty. No more switching tabs or copy-pasting contact info.
Who loves this: Channel sales teams managing 50+ partners. Approval requests double as CRM updates, ensuring only vetted leads enter nurture sequences.
3. Email Opens That Actually Mean Something
Your sales team sends 500 emails. 100 get opened. 5 get replies. With this integration:
Prospect opens email → ApproveThis generates request → Sales manager prioritizes follow-up → Human connection happens faster.
Real results: A medical device company reduced follow-up time on opened proposals from 48 hours to 4. How? Approval requests routed to regional managers based on prospect location.
4. No More Stalled Sales Cadences
Approval delays kill sales momentum. This integration resumes Klenty cadences automatically when requests get approved. Denied? It can trigger alternative sequences.
Case study: A cybersecurity firm uses this to handle compliance review bottlenecks. Approved deals jump into technical onboarding emails. Denied deals enter education-focused nurture tracks.
Setting This Up Without Losing Your Mind
Connect ApproveThis and Klenty through Zapier in 15 minutes flat:
- Create Zapier account (if you somehow don't have one)
- Choose your trigger (New Klenty reply, approval status change, etc.)
- Pick corresponding action in ApproveThis/Klenty
- Test with real data (pro tip: use actual recent deals)
No coding needed. If you can forward an email, you can set this up. Seriously.
Features Your Team Will Actually Use
ApproveThis isn't just another approval layer. These features make the Klenty integration bulletproof:
Approval Thresholds: Auto-approve discounts under 10% but escalate bigger deals. Klenty sends the approved offer instantly.
Vacation Delegation: Sales director OOO? Requests reroute to their second-in-command. No cadence pauses.
Calculated Fields: Automatically determine approval paths based on deal size in Klenty data. Enterprise deals go straight to VP.
Who Benefits (Besides Your Sanity)
Sales Teams
Get approvals faster without leaving Klenty. Example: A sales rep needs exception pricing. They trigger approval from within the deal record, keep working other leads.
Marketing
Launch campaigns faster. Content approvals via ApproveThis → approved assets auto-added to Klenty sequences.
Operations
Track approval SLAs. See which deals get stuck, optimize processes. Integrate with accounting tools for full-cycle tracking.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Don't overcomplicate workflows. Start with 2-3 critical approval types:
1. Contract exceptions
2. Custom pricing
3. High-risk client onboarding
Pro tip: Use ApproveThis' calculated fields to auto-route requests. $50K+ deals go to execs, others stay with sales managers.
Why This Isn't Just Another Integration
Most Klenty integrations just move data around. This one actually prevents revenue leaks:
- Stops unauthorized discounts
- Ensures compliance approvals
- Automates follow-up timing
- Provides audit trails for all deals
It's like giving your sales team a turbo boost with built-in GPS tracking.
Time to Stop Losing Deals to Paperwork
If your sales team spends more than 5 hours/week chasing approvals, this integration pays for itself. No more "I thought you approved that?" emails. No more spreadsheet tracking. Just deals moving forward faster.
