ApproveThis manages your LEVERADE Integration approvals.

When Approval Automation Meets Federation Management

Sports federations and competition organizers face constant pressure to move faster while maintaining strict compliance. LEVERADE provides the backbone for managing licenses, profiles, and competition logistics - but critical decisions still create bottlenecks. This is where ApproveThis transforms workflows through Zapier-powered automation, creating a complete solution for modern sports organizations.

Why This Integration Changes the Game

ApproveThis complements LEVERADE's operational strengths by adding structured decision-making to license approvals, profile updates, and competition changes. Where LEVERADE tracks critical data, ApproveThis ensures responsible governance through:

• Multi-level approval chains for high-stakes decisions
• Automatic escalations when thresholds are met
• Real-time audit trails for compliance reporting

Unlike native LEVERADE approvals, this integration allows external stakeholders (like league partners or medical certifiers) to participate without needing LEVERADE licenses. Approval groups can include both internal staff and external experts through email-based reviews.

Three Workflows That Redefine Efficiency

1. License Approvals Without Committee Meetings

Youth sports associations often struggle with seasonal license surges. When new player registrations hit LEVERADE, ApproveThis automatically routes medical clearances to team doctors while sending financial aid requests to board members. Approval thresholds automatically approve standard applications, flagging only exceptions for human review.

2. Profile Updates That Keep Pace With Talent

Professional esports leagues use this integration to handle roster changes. When a team manager updates a player contract in LEVERADE, ApproveThis simultaneously notifies league commissioners, sponsors, and media partners. Sequential approvals ensure contract terms are verified by legal before publicity teams get clearance to announce.

3. Real-Time Competition Adjustments

During regional tournaments, referee assignments in LEVERADE often need last-minute approval from head officials. The integration pushes these changes to ApproveThis, where tournament directors can approve/reassign via mobile during live events. Approved updates sync back to LEVERADE instantly, keeping schedules accurate across venues.

Technical Setup Made Simple

Using Zapier, connect LEVERADE to ApproveThis in three steps:

1. Create Zapier triggers for LEVERADE events (new license, profile update, etc.)
2. Map critical data fields to ApproveThis request templates
3. Configure approval rules and escalation paths in ApproveThis

Most federations implement their first workflow in under 45 minutes. The integration uses LEVERADE's existing webhooks, requiring no API development.

Team-Specific Benefits

Competition Directors

Reduce scheduling delays by setting automatic approval thresholds - e.g., automatically approve referee assignments with 48+ hour lead time, while escalating last-minute changes to senior staff.

Medical Committees

Use calculated fields to prioritize license reviews. A youth athlete's application could automatically calculate risk scores based on age, sport type, and medical history, routing high-risk cases to specialists.

Sponsorship Teams

Maintain brand safety by requiring approvals for any profile changes affecting sponsored athletes. Get real-time alerts when endorsed players update social media links in their LEVERADE profiles.

Beyond Basic Approvals

While the Zapier integration handles core workflows, ApproveThis adds deeper control through:

• Vacation Delegation: Ensure license approvals continue during peak seasons by automatically reassigning medical reviewers during tournaments
• Consensus-Based Decisions: For rule change proposals, require agreement from 3/5 committee members before updating LEVERADE regulations
• Conditional Fields: Add dynamic waiver forms to license approvals based on athlete age or competition level

Real-World Impact

A European handball federation reduced player registration time from 14 days to 48 hours by combining LEVERADE's registration forms with ApproveThis' parallel approvals. Medical staff review health certificates while financial teams process payments simultaneously, rather than sequentially.

Esports organizers now handle last-minute roster changes during live broadcasts. When a substitute player is added in LEVERADE mid-tournament, production teams receive instant ApproveThis notifications to update graphics once approved.

Getting Started

Begin with your most painful approval bottleneck:

1. Identify key LEVERADE workflows needing oversight
2. Create matching approval templates in ApproveThis
3. Build Zapier connections for bi-directional sync

Most organizations see full ROI within one competition cycle through reduced delays and error rates.

The Future of Competition Governance

As sports and esports continue professionalizing, organizations using LEVERADE with ApproveThis gain:

• Faster response to regulatory changes
• Stronger partner/vendor accountability
• Auditable decision trails for sponsorship compliance

This integration isn't about replacing human judgment - it's about empowering experts to focus on high-impact decisions rather than administrative chasing.
