When Speed Meets Structure
Evolution Forms accelerates lead generation through fast, responsive forms - but what happens after the submission? This is where ApproveThis transforms rapid data collection into decisive action. Together, these platforms create a closed-loop system for managing critical business processes that require both customer input and internal validation.
While Evolution Forms specializes in capturing high-quality leads and form entries, ApproveThis adds governance without slowing things down. The Zapier integration between them ensures every submission automatically triggers the right approval process, whether you're validating discount requests, processing vendor onboarding, or reviewing project proposals.
Why This Integration Works
Evolution Forms users often need to:
- Route new client intake forms for manager review
- Validate lead quality before CRM entry
ApproveThis enhances these workflows with:
- Automatic routing based on submission data
- Multi-step approvals with accountability tracking
The combination is particularly powerful for businesses using forms for client-facing processes. Marketing agencies can automatically route new campaign requests through creative and financial approvals. Construction firms might validate material purchase forms against budget thresholds. Nonprofits could process donor agreements with legal review steps.
Real-World Workflow Accelerators
1. Client Request Validation
A digital marketing agency uses Evolution Forms for client content requests. When a client submits a new blog topic via form:
- Zapier triggers ApproveThis to create an approval request
- The content lead reviews topic relevance
- If approved, the request auto-populates their project management tool
ApproveThis' calculated fields automatically flag requests exceeding the client's monthly word count allowance, routing them for account manager approval.
2. Lead Qualification Gate
A B2B SaaS company captures trial signups via Evolution Forms. Each new lead triggers:
- Approval request with lead score data
- Sales manager review for demo scheduling
- Automatic CRM entry upon approval
Using approval thresholds, leads scoring above 80/100 get auto-approved, while borderline cases require manual review - cutting response time by 40%.
Technical Setup Made Simple
Connecting Evolution Forms to ApproveThis via Zapier takes under 15 minutes:
Step 1: Form Configuration
Build your Evolution Form with required approval fields (budget amounts, project details, etc.). Test submissions to ensure data capture.
Step 2: Zapier Workflow
Create a new Zap with:
- Trigger: Evolution Forms "New Lead" or "New Form"
- Action: ApproveThis "Create Request"
Map form fields to approval request parameters. Enable conditional logic if certain submissions should trigger different approval paths.
Step 3: Approval Workflow Design
In ApproveThis:
- Set approvers based on submission data (department, amount)
- Configure escalation rules for unanswered requests
- Enable email approvals for external stakeholders
Team-Specific Benefits
Marketing Teams
Accelerate campaign launches by routing client-approved content through legal and compliance checks via Evolution Forms submissions. Approval groups ensure copy gets simultaneous reviews from compliance and brand teams.
Operations Managers
Process vendor onboarding forms with auto-calculated risk scores. Submissions exceeding $10k trigger CFO approval while smaller amounts stop at department heads. Vacation delegation prevents bottlenecks during holidays.
Client Services
External clients can submit change requests through Evolution Forms without needing ApproveThis licenses. Internal teams get structured approval requests with all client communication attached.
Beyond Basic Approvals
While the integration handles immediate approval needs, combined platforms enable advanced scenarios:
Budget Guardrails
Add calculated fields to Evolution Forms that reference existing contract terms. A field service company automatically checks submitted equipment rentals against project budgets before creating approval requests.
Compliance Audits
ApproveThis maintains immutable records of who approved each form submission - crucial for industries like healthcare where form data might include patient trial agreements.
Client Transparency
Auto-send approval status updates back to Evolution Forms users through Zapier. Service providers give clients real-time visibility into request progress without manual updates.
Getting Started
To implement these workflows:
1. Sign up for ApproveThis
2. Create your Evolution Form
3. Connect them via Zapier using the triggers/actions outlined above
For complex use cases involving calculated fields or multi-team approvals, schedule a demo with our workflow consultants. They'll help configure conditional logic that matches your business rules while maintaining the speed Evolution Forms users expect.
Final Considerations
Key advantages of this integration:
- No duplicate data entry: Form submissions become approval requests automatically
- External collaboration: Clients submit via Forms, executives approve via email
- Process consistency: All approvals follow the same audit trail regardless of submission source
Avoid common pitfalls by:
- Testing form-to-approval field mappings thoroughly
- Setting clear approval SLAs in ApproveThis to match response expectations
- Using Evolution Forms' conditional logic to pre-filter invalid submissions
Your Next Steps
Businesses using Evolution Forms for lead generation or client intake typically see ROI from ApproveThis integration within 30 days through:
- 60% faster approval cycles
- 45% reduction in process exceptions
- Complete audit trails for compliance requirements
Start with a single high-impact workflow like proposal approvals or client onboarding. Once teams experience structured approvals without data re-entry, expanding to other use cases becomes natural.
