ApproveThis manages your Campayn Integration approvals.

Why Approval Workflows Matter in Email Marketing

Modern businesses face a critical challenge: maintaining momentum in fast-paced marketing operations while ensuring compliance and accuracy. Campayn excels at simplifying email newsletter creation and distribution, but even the most polished campaigns can stall without proper oversight. ApproveThis brings structure to these decision points through automated approval workflows, creating guardrails that prevent errors while keeping teams moving forward.

The Power of Combining ApproveThis and Campayn

When connected via Zapier, these platforms create a closed-loop system for governed marketing operations. Campayn manages contact lists and campaign execution, while ApproveThis adds layers of accountability through:

• Automated approval routing based on contact attributes or campaign parameters
• Real-time visibility into pending marketing decisions
• Compliance tracking for audit-ready processes

This integration proves particularly valuable for organizations where multiple stakeholders (legal, sales, executive teams) need to review marketing contacts or campaign copy before deployment. ApproveThis approvers don't require Campayn licenses, making it ideal for involving external clients or cross-departmental reviewers.

Real-World Use Cases

1. Contact List Governance

The Challenge: Marketing teams often need to add contacts from various sources (events, web forms, sales teams), but unvetted lists can lead to compliance issues or irrelevant targeting.

The Solution: Configure a Zap where new Campayn contacts trigger approval requests in ApproveThis. Sales managers can verify lead quality, legal teams can check GDPR compliance, or regional managers can confirm territory assignments before contacts enter active campaigns.

Example: A healthcare SaaS company uses this workflow to ensure all new contacts meet HIPAA-compliant marketing criteria. Their compliance officer receives automated email approvals with contact details and source attribution, cutting review time by 65% compared to manual processes.

2. Campaign Launch Protocols

The Challenge: Enterprise organizations require multiple sign-offs on email content, but endless email threads and missed deadlines plague campaign launches.

The Solution: Reverse the workflow - completed approvals in ApproveThis trigger contact list updates in Campayn. Marketing teams can:

• Stage entire campaigns in draft mode
• Route final approval through legal and executive teams
• Auto-send campaigns upon final approval

Example: A financial services firm reduced campaign launch delays by 40% using sequential approvals - compliance teams review first, followed by regional managers, with automatic delegation if any approver is unavailable.

Implementation Guide

Step 1: Create your Campayn account and import contact lists
Step 2: Set up ApproveThis approval templates matching your review criteria
Step 3: In Zapier, choose either:
  a) Campayn "New Contact" → ApproveThis "Create Request"
  b) ApproveThis "Request Approved" → Campayn "Add Contact"
Step 4: Configure conditional logic (e.g., only trigger for contacts from specific sources)
Step 5: Test with sample data before full deployment

Team-Specific Benefits

Marketing Operations

Eliminate bottlenecks in list management while maintaining control over lead quality. Approval thresholds automatically approve low-risk contacts (e.g., repeat customers) while flagging high-value prospects for manual review.

Sales Leadership

Ensure sales-developed leads meet qualification criteria before entering nurture campaigns. Real-time dashboards show pending approvals, with escalation paths for time-sensitive opportunities.

Compliance Teams

Embed regulatory checks into the contact onboarding process. ApproveThis' calculated fields can automatically flag contacts from restricted regions or industries based on Campayn metadata.
