ApproveThis manages your Aisle Planner Integration approvals.

When Planning Meets Permission

Let's be real - wedding planners aren't in the business of begging for sign-offs. You're in the business of creating perfect days, not playing email tag with vendors or waiting on a client's cousin twice-removed to approve floral arrangements. That's where slapping ApproveThis onto Aisle Planner turns "Can someone please respond?!" into "It's handled."

Why This Pairing Works Like Champagne & Cake

Aisle Planner organizes the chaos. ApproveThis stops the chaos from organizing you. Together, they cover:

• No more approval black holes: Client dragging feet on menu choices? Vendor contract stuck in legal? See exactly where it's stuck without the awkward follow-up texts.
• Budget babysitting: Auto-route anything over $5k to the finance team, under $500 to the lead planner. Because no one wants to explain why they approved the gold-plated cutlery upgrade.

Real-World Uses That Don't Suck

1. The "Stop Wasting Good Leads" Setup

How it works: New lead pops into Aisle Planner → Auto-creates approval request in ApproveThis → Sales team pounces while they're still excited.

Who cares: Agencies booking 50+ weddings/year. If your sales director keeps missing high-value clients because someone forgot to check Aisle Planner for new leads, this pays for itself by Tuesday.

2. The Anti-Bridezilla Protocol

How it works: Client finally approves the seating chart in ApproveThis → Auto-creates the full project in Aisle Planner with all tasks assigned.

Who cares: Planners dealing with indecisive couples. Cut the "But I thought you were handling that!" drama by only starting work after official sign-off.

3. The "Why Is This Invoice Here?" Fix

How it works: Payment marked paid in Aisle Planner → Auto-closes the approval in ApproveThis → Finance team stops emailing you asking if the check cleared.

Who cares: Studios with 10+ vendors per event. When the florist gets paid but the DJ doesn't, you'll know why before the client does.

Setup That Won't Make You Hate Technology

If you can order DoorDash, you can do this:

1. Grab your Zapier account (free tier works)
2. Pick an Aisle Planner trigger (new lead, payment, etc.)
3. Choose the ApproveThis action you want to kick off
4. Test it with a real wedding inquiry (congrats, you're basically done)

Pro tip: Use ApproveThis' calculated fields to auto-flag budget overages. Because $200 chair rentals add up faster than a drunk uncle's dance moves.

Who Actually Benefits (Besides Your Sanity)

Sales Teams:

New leads in Aisle Planner become approval requests with priority levels. Stop letting $30k weddings slip through because someone was on vacation.

Operations Managers:

See every pending decision in one dashboard. No more surprises three days before the wedding because the bakery never confirmed.

External Vendors:

They approve contracts via email (no Aisle Planner login needed). Less back-and-forth, more time to argue about cake flavors.

The Fine Print That's Actually Useful

Approval thresholds aren't just for money. Use them to:

• Auto-approve repeat vendor contracts under certain amounts
• Escalate last-minute changes to senior planners

Vacation delegation means no more "Out of Office" approval delays. Because weddings don't care about your beach week.

Bottom Line: This Isn't About Software

It's about getting back to why you started this business - creating killer events, not herding approval cats. The couple doesn't care if the linens were approved via email, Slack, or carrier pigeon. They care that everything's perfect. Which it will be, because you stopped wasting time on the boring stuff.

Next steps:

👉 Snag an ApproveThis trial (takes 3 minutes)
👉 Check out Aisle Planner if you're still manually tracking RSVPs
👉 Or book a 15-minute demo to see the combo in action

Either way, stop letting approvals be the thing that ruins your vibe. You've got enough to deal with - like explaining why peacocks aren't appropriate wedding guests.
