ApproveThis manages your Subpage Integration approvals.

Integration Category: Marketing
Let's talk about that pile of "I'll get to it later" leads sitting in Subpage right now. You know the ones – captured through your slick landing pages, waiting for someone to decide what happens next. This is where Subpage and ApproveThis become your undead-slaying dream team through Zapier.
When Lead Capture Meets Decision-Making Muscle
Subpage does the frontend heavy lifting – collecting leads through quizzes, PDF downloads, or demo requests. But here's where most teams faceplant: moving those leads through internal review processes without creating spreadsheet hell or endless Slack threads.
ApproveThis acts as the bouncer for your sales pipeline. When Zapier connects these two, every new Subpage lead automatically kicks off approval workflows. Not some basic "notify the team" garbage – we're talking conditional routing based on lead value, territory assignments, or compliance checks.
Why This Isn't Just Another Integration
Most approval tools make your team jump through hoops. ApproveThis meets people where they already work:
- Sales Ops: Auto-route high-value leads to execs for fast-tracking while filtering out tire-kickers
- Compliance Teams: Mandatory legal review for leads in regulated industries before outreach
Meanwhile, Subpage keeps doing what it does best – no need to reinvent your lead capture forms. The magic happens in the handoff.
Real-World Use Cases That Don't Suck
For Marketing Agencies
Client A uses Subpage for lead gen campaigns. Their approval workflow:
1. New lead hits Subpage → 2. ApproveThis checks lead score → 3a. Scores ≥80: immediate SMS alert to sales rep + CRM entry → 3b. Scores <80: daily digest email to junior team for nurturing
No more clients bitching about "Why wasn't I notified about this hot lead?!" at 2 AM.
For SaaS Companies
Deal size thresholds in ApproveThis automatically route demo requests:
- Enterprises ($50k+ potential): VP of Sales approval required
- Mid-market ($10k-50k): Senior AE auto-assigned
- Small biz (<$10k): Bot-led onboarding
Slashes 72 hours off their sales cycle by avoiding "Who handles this?" paralysis.
For E-commerce Brands
Wholesale lead capture via Subpage triggers:
1. Credit check approval → 2. Inventory availability confirmation → 3. Sales manager assignment
All before the first human touches the lead. Because time kills deals when you're moving pallets, not pixels.
Setting This Up Without Losing Your Mind
If you can make toast, you can connect these tools:
- Grab your Zapier account (free tier works)
- Create new Zap → Choose Subpage "New Lead" trigger
- Add ApproveThis "Create Request" action
- Map lead data to approval fields (keep it simple – name, email, lead score)
- Test with real leads (pro tip: use your competitor's domain)
Total setup time: 18 minutes. ROI realization: Before your next coffee break.
Features You'll Actually Use
Beyond basic approvals, this combo lets you:
Auto-Escalate Stale Leads: If nobody touches a lead in 48 hours, ApproveThis bumps it to managers with a "WTF?" nudge.
Approval Thresholds: Automatically approve small deals under $5k but require CFO sign-off for anything that moves the revenue needle.
Client-Friendly Reviews: External stakeholders can approve/deny without needing Subpage logins. Great for agencies needing client sign-off on lead quality.
Who Benefits (Besides Your Sanity)
Sales Teams: Stop chasing internal approvals and actually sell. Approval history is logged for commission disputes.
Operations: Audit trails for compliance. Custom reports showing where leads get stuck in approval purgatory.
Leadership: Real-time dashboards showing lead-to-approved pipeline velocity. Actual data for once.
Common Objections (And Why They're Dumb)
"We just use email approvals." Cool. How's that working for tracking SLA compliance? Or reconstructing why a lead died six months ago?
"Our CRM does approvals." Great. Now show me how that works for cross-departmental reviews requiring legal + finance + sales sign-offs.
"We're too small for this." Exactly. Automate now before you scale into clusterfuck territory.
When Not to Use This Integration
If your "sales process" is the founder manually emailing every lead... maybe fix that first. This works when you have:
- Multiple approval stakeholders
- Compliance/legal requirements
- Actual lead volume (>50/month)
- Desire to look professional
What's Next?
This isn't about tech – it's about fixing the bullshit bottlenecks that make deals go cold. The combo of Subpage's lead capture and ApproveThis' approval rigor turns "maybe someday" into "closed-won" faster.
ApproveThis doesn't just route requests – it enforces process discipline without the micromanagement. And because approvers don't need Subpage licenses, you're not bleeding cash on software seats for occasional users.
Time to Kill the Chaos
Either keep playing spreadsheet Jenga with your leads, or get ApproveThis connected to Subpage today. Demo takes 12 minutes – less time than you'll waste tomorrow herding approval emails.
P.S. Vacation delegation means your approvals won't die when Karen from accounting is on her third Costa Rica trip this quarter. You're welcome.
