Why Combine Flutin and ApproveThis?

Flutin empowers creators and businesses to broadcast live video across Instagram, YouTube, and LinkedIn while monetizing content. But managing approvals for live sessions – whether for compliance, budget, or quality control – often creates bottlenecks. ApproveThis eliminates these delays by automating approval workflows directly within Flutin’s event lifecycle. Together, they turn chaotic review processes into structured, trackable operations.

What This Integration Solves

Marketing teams waste hours chasing down stakeholders to greenlight live sessions. Operations managers manually verify if sessions meet technical specs. Finance departments struggle to track ad-hoc spending on paid promotions. By connecting Flutin’s real-time session triggers with ApproveThis’s decision automation, businesses gain:

  • Faster go-live clearances without back-and-forth emails
  • Audit trails for compliance with brand or legal guidelines
  • Budget control through automated spending thresholds

Key Features Working Together

Flutin’s Strengths

Flutin excels at multi-platform streaming, monetization tools, and triggering events when sessions start, end, or are created. These triggers become approval starting points when connected to ApproveThis.

ApproveThis Enhancements

ApproveThis adds conditional logic to Flutin workflows. For example, sessions exceeding $500 in promotion costs auto-route to finance directors. Teams configure:

  • Multi-step approvals with role-based access
  • Deadlines and reminders sent via email (no app login required)
  • Automatic delegation when approvers are OOO

Real-World Use Cases

Enterprise Marketing: Pre-Approved Live Campaigns

A retail company schedules 20 holiday live streams across three time zones. Using Flutin’s “session created” trigger, ApproveThis routes each event to legal (for compliance), product teams (for demo accuracy), and regional managers (for localization). Approval groups ensure all stakeholders approve sequentially within 48 hours. If any reject, the session updates in Flutin automatically.

Fitness Studios: Rapid Class Launches

A yoga chain lets instructors propose live sessions via Flutin. When sessions are created, ApproveThis checks instructor certifications and studio availability. If both pass, auto-approval occurs. Otherwise, requests escalate to studio managers. Post-session, the “live ended” trigger initiates a payout approval to instructors based on attendance metrics pulled via Zapier.

Media Production: Budget Guardrails

A news agency streams breaking coverage through Flutin with ApproveThis managing overtime approvals. Producers starting unscheduled live sessions trigger immediate approval requests to department heads. Calculated fields estimate crew costs, auto-approving if under $1K or escalating if higher. Finance receives daily spend reports from ApproveThis’ dashboard.

Team-Specific Benefits

Marketing/Content Teams

Reduce last-minute scrambles to verify campaign alignment. Set predefined brand guidelines in ApproveThis that sessions must meet before going live. Track approval statuses centrally instead of managing 20 Slack threads.

Operations/IT Teams

Ensure every live session meets technical requirements. Use ApproveThis to require IT sign-off on streaming specs when high-traffic events are scheduled. Integrate with monitoring tools via Zapier to auto-approve sessions under 500 concurrent viewers.

Finance Teams

Prevent budget overruns on paid promotions. Configure approval thresholds where sessions exceeding planned spends require CFO approval. Attach Flutin’s performance data to payment approvals for contractors.

Implementation Made Simple

Zapier Setup Overview

1. Create a Zapier account (if new)
2. Choose Flutin as the trigger app (select “Session Created,” “Session Started,” or “Session Ended”)
3. Connect ApproveThis as the action app (“Create Request”)
4. Map Flutin’s session data (title, host, budget) to ApproveThis fields
5. Test with a live session in Flutin

Pro Tips

• Use ApproveThis’ calculated fields to auto-flag sessions exceeding budgets
• Enable vacation delegation to avoid delays when approvers travel
• Set email reminders to 12/24 hours before deadlines

Why This Integration Works

Flutin handles the creative execution; ApproveThis manages the business rules. Unlike manual approvals, this combo provides:

Speed: Approve live sessions in 2 clicks via email – no app switching.
Scale: Handle 5 or 500 sessions monthly without adding staff.
Compliance: Document every decision for auditors automatically.

Getting Started

ApproveThis offers a free tier for basic workflows. Flutin users can start a 14-day trial with premium features. For complex needs like multi-region approvals or custom calculations, book a demo to see enterprise capabilities.

Critical Note: Approvers only need an email address – no Flutin licenses required. This makes the integration ideal for agencies managing client content or businesses collaborating with external partners.
