When Fast Meets Organized

Let's cut to the chase: Autobidder gets you leads faster than your sales team can say "commission check." ApproveThis stops those same leads from getting stuck in approval purgatory. Together? They're the workflow equivalent of putting jet fuel in your sales process without the risk of blowing everything up.

We're talking about connecting Autobidder's instant bidding magic with ApproveThis' no-nonsense approval system through Zapier. No developers needed. No begging IT for access. Just deals moving forward while everyone actually knows what's happening.

What Autobidder Does That You Probably Aren't Using Enough

Autobidder's not just some lead form - it's your 24/7 digital sales rep. Every time someone clicks "Get Price" or books a consultation, that's money walking through your door. But here's where most teams screw up:

  • Letting hot leads cool off while waiting for manager sign-off
  • Losing track of which bids got approved (and which fell through the cracks)

That's where ApproveThis comes in - it's the system that actually makes sure your "efficient" bidding tool doesn't create more work than it saves.

Why This Combo Works for Teams That Hate Wasting Time

Construction companies running 50+ projects? They use this integration to approve material bids before the competition even wakes up. Marketing agencies? Instant client proposal approvals without CC'ing the entire company. Here's the dirty secret: Both tools are simple alone, but together they fix the crap that makes approvals take days:

For Sales Teams

New prospect hits Autobidder → Approval request auto-generated with all details → Sales manager approves via email in 2 clicks → Deal moves to CRM. No more "Hey, did you see my bid request?" Slack messages at 11 PM.

For Operations

Booking comes in → Approval workflow checks team availability → Automatically approves or escalates based on rules you set. Suddenly your $250K machinery isn't double-booked because someone forgot to check the schedule.

For Finance

Every Autobidder quote over $10K? Auto-route to CFO + department head. Bonus: ApproveThis' calculated fields automatically flag bids that mess with project budgets before they even hit approval.

Real Use Cases That Don't Sound Like Corporate BS

Let's break down exactly how this plays out for teams who actually need to get work done:

Scenario 1: The Overeager Sales Rep

Rep offers 15% discount on a $80K bid to close deal → Autobidder sends to ApproveThis → System checks against:
- Client's payment history
- Current profit margins
- Sales manager's discount authority
Either auto-approves or kicks to execs. Finance doesn't have to play detective later.

Scenario 2: The Last-Minute Booking

Client books installation for tomorrow → Approval workflow:
1. Check crew availability
2. Verify permit status
3. Confirm payment cleared
All before sales even finishes their coffee. No more showing up to sites that aren't ready.

Scenario 3: The "Urgent" Client Change

Project manager updates Autobidder quote → Triggers re-approval only for changed line items → Original approvers get update → Sign off via email without re-reviewing entire bid. Cuts approval time from 2 days to 20 minutes.

Setting This Up Without Losing Your Mind

If you can set up a Zoom call, you can do this:

  1. Connect Autobidder and ApproveThis to Zapier (15 minutes tops)
  2. Pick your triggers: New prospect, booking, webhook - whatever leaks time in your current process
  3. Build approval rules once in ApproveThis: Who needs to sign off, in what order, with what info

Pro tip: Start with your most annoying approval bottleneck. Usually the one causing the most "Hey, where are we on...?" emails.

What You’re Not Using (But Should Be)

ApproveThis isn't just about routing requests. When hooked to Autobidder:

Vacation Delegation: Sales director out climbing Everest? Approvals auto-reassign without missing a beat.

Thresholds: Bids under $5K auto-approve. Over that? Escalate based on rules, not egos.

Approval Groups: Need legal + sales + ops to all sign off? Make them do it in order, not a free-for-all.

Why Your External Partners Won’t Hate This

Contractors, clients, vendors - they don't need Autobidder logins to approve stuff. ApproveThis sends them email links that work on any device. They click approve/reject. Done. No "Can you resend that?" or "The portal isn't working."

When to Know If This Actually Matters for You

This integration isn't for every company. You'll care if:

  • Bids regularly get stuck waiting for approvals
  • You've had deals fall through because response times sucked
  • Finance keeps finding "surprise" discounts you didn't authorize

Basically, if your current process works perfectly, move along. If not, this is your fix.

No More “Who Approved This?!” Meetings

ApproveThis keeps an audit trail that's actually readable. Every Autobidder request shows:

- Who approved/rejected
- When
- Comments they left
- Version of the bid they saw
No more finger-pointing when deals go sideways.

What’s Next

Option 1: Keep pasting bid details into Slack/email and hope someone responds.
Option 2: Try ApproveThis free for 14 days, connect to Autobidder in an afternoon, and actually know where every deal stands.

We're betting you'll pick Option 2. Once you stop chasing approvals, you might actually have time to hit your quota.
