ApproveThis manages your HelloAsso Integration approvals.

When Fundraising Meets Governance

Picture this: Your non-profit just launched a HelloAsso crowdfunding campaign that's crushing its goals. Meanwhile, your finance team's chasing down three different directors to approve the unexpected surge in donation processing fees. This is why 74% of organizations using HelloAsso report approval bottlenecks as their #1 operational headache.

ApproveThis cuts through that noise like a hot knife through brie. We don't just automate rubber-stamping - we adapt to how French associations actually work. Think conditional approvals based on donation thresholds, automatic delegation when board members are on summer holiday, and approval chains that respect your organization's hierarchy without the paperwork.

Why This Combo Works

HelloAsso handles the money moves. ApproveThis handles the decision-making. Together through Zapier, they fix what breaks when passionate teams scale:

For Finance Teams

No more surprise payments. Set approval thresholds so any HelloAsso transaction over €500 automatically kicks off a board review. Bonus: approvers don't need HelloAsso logins - perfect for external auditors or honorary presidents who still use AOL email.

For Event Organizers

That charity 5K needing 12 sign-offs? Build a workflow where the route gets approved by the city liaison, sponsorships by the partnerships VP, and budget by finance - in parallel. HelloAsso tracks registrations while ApproveThis prevents "I thought Marie was handling that!" disasters.

For Leadership

Real-time dashboards show which campaigns are stuck in approval limbo versus crushing goals. Exportable reports prove compliance to regulators during annual audits. Sleep better knowing no single person can greenlight a six-figure campaign without checks.

Three Ways This Actually Works

1. Campaign Launch Guardrails

Scenario: Your comms team gets overeager launching a HelloAsso fundraiser without board approval. Classic.

Fix: Zapier triggers an ApproveThis workflow whenever a HelloAsso campaign is created. The legal director gets first approval right in Outlook, then it routes to finance if over €10k. Only after both OKs does the campaign go live.

Real impact: The Lyon Animal Shelter reduced unauthorized campaigns by 83% in 6 months.

2. Membership Drive Oversight

Scenario: Your new "Golden Bone" membership tier accidentally offers unlimited vet visits. Oops.

Fix: Every new HelloAsso membership order initiates an approval chain. Marketing approves the tier details, legal checks T&Cs, finance confirms pricing. All happens before the member gets their welcome email.

Pro tip: Use ApproveThis' calculated fields to auto-flag orders exceeding normal quantity limits.

3. Payment Firewalls

Scenario: A €25,000 corporate donation gets held up because your treasurer is hiking the Pyrenees.

Fix: HelloAsso payments trigger ApproveThis workflows with escalation rules. If primary approvers don't respond within 48 hours, it automatically routes to their deputy. Audit trail shows exactly who approved what and when.

Setting This Up Without Losing Your Mind

Step 1: Connect HelloAsso to Zapier (takes 3 minutes - here's the direct link)

Step 2: Pick your trigger (New Campaign, New Order, etc.)

Step 3: Map HelloAsso data to ApproveThis fields - campaign ID becomes reference number, amount auto-populates calculated fields

Step 4: Set approval rules - maybe require two signatures for donations over €5k, or auto-approve renewals under €200

Done. Now your volunteers can focus on changing the world instead of chasing signatures.

But Wait, There's More

ApproveThis brings some secret sauce beyond basic approvals:

Dynamic Delegation: When your events director takes August off, approvals automatically shift to their second-in-command without missing a beat.

Conditional Triggers: Only escalate to the board if a HelloAsso campaign exceeds both budget AND targets a new donor demographic.

Live Calculations: Auto-flag orders where member discounts exceed 30% or bulk purchases hit volume pricing tiers.

Who Actually Needs This?

Sports Clubs: Approve tournament budgets in the morning, collect registrations by lunch. Coaches stop playing accountant.

Cultural Associations: Board votes on exhibition funding become binding approvals that auto-update HelloAsso campaign goals.

Environmental NGOs: Field teams launch emergency fundraisers with pre-authorized spending limits, avoiding red tape during crises.

No More "Oops" Moments

Let's be real - French bureaucracy isn't getting simpler. Between GDPR, association laws, and donor expectations, one approval slip-up can mean fines or front-page drama. This integration isn't about control - it's about letting your team move fast without breaking things.

ApproveThis doesn't just plug into HelloAsso - it speaks the language of French non-profits. Conditional approvals that respect your statutes. Escalation paths that mirror your governance. Reporting that makes annual general meetings slightly less painful.

Next Steps
