ApproveThis manages your Adificial approvals.

Why Approval Automation Matters for Video Teams

Modern video production teams face relentless deadlines, complex stakeholder reviews, and pressure to deliver personalized content at scale. Adificial's automated video platform solves half the equation - creating data-driven stories efficiently. But what happens when you need legal sign-off on a compliance disclaimer? Or budget approval for a high-impact campaign? This is where 84% of creative teams hit roadblocks according to recent MarTech surveys.

ApproveThis plugs directly into this gap through its Zapier integration with Adificial. By connecting structured approval workflows to video deployment pipelines, teams eliminate manual follow-ups while maintaining rigorous quality control. The combination enables:

• Automatic routing of video assets for legal/compliance review
• Real-time budget authorization before campaign launches
• Centralized audit trails for creative approvals

How Marketing Teams Benefit

Consider a retail brand preparing Black Friday video campaigns across 12 regional markets. Their Adificial setup automatically generates localized versions, but each requires local manager approval. Without automation:

→ Coordinators manually email 12 PDF approval forms
→ Managers struggle to review video content via email attachments
→ Three days wasted tracking missing signatures

With the integration:
Adificial triggers an ApproveThis workflow upon video generation. Regional managers receive mobile-friendly approval requests containing embedded video previews and geo-specific performance projections. The operations team sees real-time status updates in their dashboard, automatically escalating delayed responses after 24 hours.

Technical Setup Made Simple

Connecting Adificial to ApproveThis takes 15 minutes through Zapier:

1. Create Zapier triggers for Adificial events like "Deployment Completed"
2. Map video metadata to ApproveThis request templates
3. Configure approval chains using role-based rules

Key advantage: Approvers only need ApproveThis access - no additional Adificial licenses required. This makes external legal reviews or client sign-offs frictionless.

Real-World Use Cases

1. Compliance Guardrails for Regulated Industries

A healthcare provider uses Adificial to create patient education videos. Their integration with ApproveThis automatically routes each video to:

1. Medical review team (sequential approval)
2. Legal department (consensus from 3 attorneys)
3. Marketing lead (final sign-off)

Approval thresholds automatically escalate urgent requests, while calculated fields verify required disclaimer lengths against FDA guidelines.

2. Budget Control for Performance Marketing

An e-commerce company triggers ApproveThis workflows whenever Adificial video campaigns exceed $50,000 budgets. Finance directors receive requests containing:

• ROI projections from historical data
• Creative concept slides
• Alternative budget scenarios

Automatic delegation ensures approvals continue during vacations, preventing campaign delays.

Operational Transparency Across Teams

The ApproveThis dashboard becomes a single source of truth for cross-functional teams:

Creative Directors track version approvals without status meetings
Media Buyers confirm budget authorizations before committing ad spend
Compliance Officers maintain audit-ready records automatically

Unlike email threads or Slack approvals, this system provides enforceable accountability. Approval groups can be configured to require specific stakeholder combinations - for example, ensuring financial and legal approvals always come from different individuals.

Advanced Features for Complex Workflows

While the core integration solves most approval bottlenecks, ApproveThis offers deeper customization:

Conditional Routing: Route healthcare videos to compliance first, entertainment content to legal
Dynamic Calculations: Auto-approve videos under $10k if brand guidelines are met
API Extensions: Push approved videos directly to CMS platforms

These capabilities help enterprises maintain flexibility as approval needs evolve. A media conglomerate used conditional routing to reduce approval times by 40% across 22 subsidiary brands.

Getting Started Guide

Follow these steps to implement the integration:

1. Map Your Process: Identify which Adificial events (new deployment, connection created) require approvals
2. Build Templates: Configure ApproveThis templates with dynamic fields for video metadata
3. Set Escalation Rules: Define time thresholds for automatic reminders and delegation
4. Test Workflows: Run pilot approvals with a small team before full rollout

Most teams see ROI within two campaign cycles. A mid-sized agency reported eliminating 23 hours/month of manual follow-ups while reducing approval errors by 68%.

Future-Proofing Your Workflow

As Adificial expands its AI capabilities, approval needs will grow more complex. The integration prepares teams for:

• Automated compliance checks against evolving regulations
• Real-time approval of personalized video variants
• Multi-territory legal reviews for global campaigns

By centralizing approval logic in ApproveThis, teams can adapt to these changes without rebuilding workflows from scratch.
