Why Your Event Team Needs This Integration Yesterday

Let’s cut to the chase: if you’re still manually approving event vendor access, staff permissions, or sponsor credentials in Let’s Get Digital, you’re leaving money on the table. Every hour your team spends chasing down approvers is an hour not spent selling tickets or preventing that AV guy from accidentally live-streaming the CEO’s lunch break.

ApproveThis plugs directly into Let’s Get Digital via Zapier, turning those "Hey, can you check if marketing approved the keynote speaker?" Slack messages into automated workflows that even your most tech-averse board member can handle via email. We’re talking real-time tracking of who approved what, automatic escalations when Karen from legal forgets her vacation auto-reply is on, and zero license fees for external partners.

How This Duo Actually Works Together

Let’s Get Digital handles the who’s who of your events – user accounts, check-ins, permissions. ApproveThis handles the who said yes. Connect them through Zapier, and you’ve got a system where:

  • New vendor requests in Let’s Get Digital auto-trigger approval chains in ApproveThis
  • Approved sponsors get instant access without IT involvement
  • Denied requests automatically remove temporary credentials

Key perk? Approvers only need access to ApproveThis – not another seat in Let’s Get Digital. Perfect for agencies handling client events or committees with external stakeholders.

Real-World Use Cases That Don’t Suck

1. Auto-Approving High-Risk Event Access

Scenario: A new AV technician needs backstage access credentials in Let’s Get Digital for a major conference.

The Fix: Set up a Zap where any new "High Risk" user creation in Let’s Get Digital triggers a 3-person approval chain in ApproveThis (event lead, security head, and client contact). Until all three approve, the account stays inactive.

Business Impact: Reduced liability for 10,000+ attendee events. The San Diego Comic-Con crew uses this to prevent unauthorized access to exhibitor portals.

2. Instant Onboarding for Approved Vendors

Scenario: Your catering partner needs 15 staff accounts created in Let’s Get Digital 48 hours before event kickoff.

The Fix: Approval requests in ApproveThis auto-create user accounts once greenlit. Bonus: Set approval thresholds so under $5k contracts get auto-approved by the system if the event lead is MIA.

Business Impact: New York Food Fest cut vendor onboarding from 3 days to 45 minutes. Their secret? Calculated fields in ApproveThis that auto-approve repeat vendors with a 4.5+ star rating.

3. Cleaning Up Post-Event Access

Scenario: Temporary staff accounts from last quarter’s trade show still have active credentials.

The Fix: Any "Deny" decision in ApproveThis triggers immediate user deletion in Let’s Get Digital. For approved accounts, set expiration dates that auto-send re-approval requests 7 days pre-expiry.

Business Impact: Major music festival reduced security audit failures by 78% by automatically purging 900+ temp accounts post-event.

Setting This Up Without Losing Your Mind

Step 1: In Zapier, choose Let’s Get Digital as your trigger app (we’re partial to the "User Created" event).

Step 2: Set ApproveThis as your action app – use "Create Request" and map those Let’s Get Digital user fields to your approval template.

Pro Tip: Enable ApproveThis’s Approval Thresholds so contracts under $10k get instant director-level approval, bypassing the VP queue.

Time Saver: Use Vacation Delegation so when the head of events is at Burning Man, requests auto-reroute to their second-in-command.

Who Actually Benefits From This?

Event Operations Teams

Stop playing phone tag with 12 executives to approve last-minute speaker changes. Set up sequential approvals where each rejection kills the request instantly. Real-time tracking means you’ll know exactly which exec is holding up the pyro permit.

Security & Compliance

Every approved/denied decision in ApproveThis leaves an audit trail that even the strictest ISO certification requires. Plus, automatic user deletion means no more “But I thought HR disabled those accounts!” during breach post-mortems.

External Agencies

Client’s legal team needs to approve every single press pass? Cool – invite them as external approvers in ApproveThis ($0 extra cost) without giving them access to your Let’s Get Digital backend. They get email approvals; you get to keep your client’s data siloed.

Why This Isn’t Just Another Zap

Most Zapier integrations just shuffle data between apps. This combo actually changes decision-making velocity. Example: When Chicago’s Tech Summit started using approval groups in ApproveThis:

  • Vendor approvals went from 4.2 days avg. to 9 hours
  • Overtime costs dropped 32% from reduced approval chase-downs
  • They onboarded 14 new sponsors in 48 hours during a COVID-era venue change

The secret sauce? ApproveThis doesn’t just send approvals – it uses Let’s Get Digital’s user data to make smarter decisions. Calculated fields auto-approve repeat vendors under budget. Approval thresholds escalate high-cost requests silently. And because everything’s tracked, you can finally prove to the CFO that no, marketing doesn’t actually approve 80% of requests after 5 PM.

“But Our Approval Process Is Special!”

Cool story. Here’s how this setup bends without breaking:

Complex hierarchies? Approval groups handle 7+ levels with parallel or sequential paths.

Seasonal staff? Auto-delete their Let’s Get Digital access 24 hours post-event via denied re-approval requests.

External partners? They approve via email without ever touching your systems.

LA Film Fest uses conditional logic to route celebrity handler approvals directly to security leads, while food vendors go to operations. All from the same Zap.

Getting Started (Without the BS)

1. Grab an ApproveThis trial – takes 6 minutes

2. Connect your Let’s Get Digital account to Zapier

3. Steal our pre-built templates:

- Zap 1: New LGD user → Approval chain with budget checks

- Zap 2: Denied request → Instant LGD user deletion + Slack alert

- Zap 3: Approved VIP pass → Auto-email credentials + calendar invite

Pro Tip: Use ApproveThis’s Calculated Fields to auto-flag users requesting access to restricted areas like press pits or VIP lounges.

Bottom Line: This Isn’t About Approvals

It’s about not having your next event delayed because someone forgot to approve the damn fire marshal’s credentials. It’s about sponsors getting real-time access without 14 forwarded emails. And it’s definitely about looking like a rockstar when you cut approval-related overtime by 60%.
