Why Combine ApproveThis and Ucraft?

Ucraft empowers teams to build professional websites quickly, but publishing content or launching pages often requires input from multiple stakeholders. ApproveThis adds structure to these decisions, turning loose email threads into trackable workflows. Together, they solve a critical problem: getting fast, documented approvals from clients, legal teams, or executives without slowing down creative work.

For example, marketing agencies using Ucraft can design landing pages in hours but often wait days for client sign-off. With ApproveThis, they trigger approval workflows directly from Ucraft projects. Approvers receive email links to review live previews and click "Approve" or "Request Changes" – no logins required. This combination is particularly powerful for businesses juggling internal and external reviewers.

How These Platforms Complement Each Other

Ucraft excels at visual design and rapid prototyping, while ApproveThis brings order to subjective decisions. Where Ucraft handles the "what" of web creation, ApproveThis manages the "who" and "when" of approvals. The Zapier integration acts as a bridge between creation and validation.

Key synergies include:

  • No License Overhead: External clients approve Ucraft work via ApproveThis without needing Ucraft accounts
  • Contextual Reviews: Attach Ucraft page previews directly to approval requests
  • Version Control: Tie approval history to specific Ucraft project iterations

Real-World Use Cases

1. Client-Driven Website Launches

Digital agencies often face approval bottlenecks when clients need to review designs. A typical workflow:

  1. Designer finalizes site in Ucraft
  2. Zapier detects project completion
  3. ApproveThis sends client email with live preview link
  4. Client approves or requests changes directly from inbox

This reduces average approval time from 3 days to 6 hours for agencies like WebFlow Partners. Approval thresholds automatically escalate overdue requests to account managers.

2. Compliance-Critical Content Publishing

Healthcare and financial institutions using Ucraft for patient/consumer portals require legal reviews before publishing. ApproveThis adds audit trails showing:

  • Which compliance officer approved each section
  • Timestamps for regulatory reporting
  • Comments documenting required changes

Sequential approvals ensure legal reviews happen before marketing teams get final sign-off authority.

3. Multi-Location Brand Control

Franchise operators using Ucraft for local sites can set up:

1. Regional manager submits site edits in Ucraft
2. ApproveThis routes to:
- Corporate brand team (mandatory)
- Local legal counsel (conditional)
3. Published automatically upon approvals

Calculated fields in ApproveThis prevent publishing if more than 20% of brand guidelines are modified.

Implementation Made Simple

Connecting Ucraft and ApproveThis takes under 15 minutes through Zapier:

Step 1: In Zapier, choose Ucraft as your trigger app. Select events like "Project Marked Ready for Review" or "New Page Draft Saved."

Step 2: Map Ucraft data to ApproveThis fields. Attach preview URLs, project IDs, or client notes to approval requests.

Step 3: Configure approvers. Use fixed teams for internal reviews or dynamic fields for client-specific contacts.

Pro Tip: Enable ApproveThis' Vacation Delegation to avoid delays when approvers are OOO.

Cross-Functional Benefits

For Marketing Teams

Reduce campaign launch delays by tying Ucraft landing pages to approval SLAs. If legal hasn't reviewed a compliance disclaimer by the deadline, ApproveThis automatically notifies directors via SMS.

For Operations

Track approval cycle times across departments. Identify bottlenecks – are product descriptions stuck in legal review 73% longer than imagery approvals? Adjust workflows accordingly.

For Client Services

Provide visibility without access. Clients see approval status via branded portals without getting admin rights to Ucraft workspaces.

Beyond Basic Approvals

While the Ucraft integration excels at content reviews, don't overlook ApproveThis' advanced features:

Budget Guards: Reject Ucraft plugin purchases exceeding project budgets automatically
AI Summaries: Generate change request summaries for Ucraft developers
Waterfall Publishing: Schedule approved content to go live across time zones

Getting Started

To implement this integration:

1. Create an ApproveThis account (free 14-day trial)
2. Connect Ucraft via Zapier using your existing credentials
3. Build your first workflow – start with a simple copy approval process

For complex implementations, request a custom demo showing how to combine approval thresholds with Ucraft's version history.

The Bottom Line

Ucraft removes technical barriers to web creation; ApproveThis removes organizational friction in finalizing work. Together, they let teams focus on quality instead of chasing approvals. By automating the handoff between creation and validation, businesses ship projects 40-65% faster according to internal benchmarks.
