ApproveThis manages your TicketSpice Integration approvals.

When Ticket Sales Meet Approval Mayhem

Let's be real: event planning is 20% creativity, 80% chasing down sign-offs. Between last-minute vendor contracts, VIP ticket requests from C-suite buddies, and budget approvals that vanish into email black holes, your team's probably spending more time herding cats than actually planning events. That's where slapping ApproveThis onto your TicketSpice setup turns into your secret weapon.

ApproveThis isn't another app that'll make your team groan. It's the missing layer that automates the "Hey, can you approve this?" dance between TicketSpice and the six other departments involved in every event. Think of it like giving your ticket sales process a central nervous system – suddenly, everything knows what needs signing off, by whom, and what happens next.

Why This Combo Doesn't Just "Work" – It Actually Fixes Things

Most integrations just shuffle data between apps. Ours kills these specific headaches:

• Budgets blowing up from unapproved comp tickets: That "quick favor" for a partner company's 50 free passes? Now auto-flags if it exceeds your comp ticket threshold.
• Sponsor tickets stuck in legal limbo: Contracts require legal + finance sign-off? Route those requests in order, no CC'ing needed.

TicketSpice handles selling. ApproveThis handles the politics. Together, they mean your $50k conference tickets don't get held up because Dave from accounting missed an email.

Use Case 1: No More "Who Approved This?!" Scandals

The Problem Every Event Team Hates

Your intern just sold 100 VIP tickets at a 90% discount. Was that an approved promo? Who knows. The sales data's in TicketSpice, but the approval? Buried in someone's Slack DMs.

How This Combo Fixes It

Connect TicketSpice's "New Order" trigger to ApproveThis. Now, every time a discount over 15% is applied, or a bulk order hits, it auto-creates an approval request routed to the right person. Even better:

• Attach the ticket buyer's company info (from TicketSpice) to the approval. Finance can nix it if they're late on payments.
• Use calculated fields to flag orders exceeding your event's comp ticket budget in real time.

Who Actually Cares?

Corporate Event Teams: Stop CMO's assistant from comping their entire book club. Set thresholds so small discounts auto-approve, big ones escalate.
Universities: Alumni getting free tickets? Requires development team's OK to track donor relations.
Festivals: Press passes need both marketing and security approvals. No more rogue bloggers backstage.

Use Case 2: Tickets That Can't Go Live Until Greenlit

The Hidden Delay No One Talks About

You've got a presale going live at 9 AM. At 8:55 AM, legal realizes the ticket disclaimer wasn't approved. Cue chaos.

Making This Less Painful

Flip the integration: When an ApproveThis request (like a new ticket type) gets approved, it auto-creates the ticket in TicketSpice. Benefits that matter:

• Early-bird pricing goes live only after finance signs off on the rates.
• Sponsor ticket packages aren't visible until their contract is fully executed.
• Use approval groups so tickets need both marketing (copy) and legal (terms) sign-off before going public.

Real Companies Using This:

Convention Centers: Prevent double-booking – auto-check room availability before approving exhibitor ticket packages.
Non-Profits: Board members must approve donor thank-you event tickets, but don't have TicketSpice logins. They approve via email, it auto-generates their unique tickets.

"But Our Approvals Are Special Snowflakes"

Yeah, we've heard it. Here's how features you didn't know existed solve niche issues:

Problem: Your Approver is in Bali

Solution: Vacation delegation. If the CMO's out, requests auto-reroute to their second-in-command without you lifting a finger.

Problem: External Vendors Need to Approve

Solution: Sponsors (who use TicketSpice) can be approvers without ApproveThis licenses. They get an email, click approve/reject, done. No new logins.

Problem: Approval Rules Change Per Event

Solution: Clone workflows. Charity gala needs board approval? Duplicate the template, adjust approvers, done. No rebuilding from scratch.

Setup That Takes Less Time Than Reading This

If you've used Zapier before, this is stupid simple:

1. Zap 1: TicketSpice "New Order" → ApproveThis "Create Request". Add filters to only trigger for orders over $X or using discount codes.
2. Zap 2: ApproveThis "Approved" → TicketSpice "Create Ticket". Map the approval notes to internal tags for tracking.

Pro Tip: Use calculated fields in ApproveThis to auto-flag orders where (ticket price × quantity) exceeds a threshold. No manual math needed.

Zapier handles the plumbing, so you're not coding anything. If you get stuck, our docs have pre-built templates.

Who Wins Besides You?

Finance Team: Gets approvals with all the TicketSpice data attached. No more cross-referencing order IDs.
Legal Team: Only bothered when contracts require it. Conditional routing skips them for standard events.
Your Boss: Sees every stalled request in the ApproveThis dashboard. Suddenly, you're not the bottleneck anymore.

FAQ (The Stuff People Actually Ask)

Q: Do approvers need TicketSpice access?
A: Nope. They approve via email or ApproveThis. Great for external partners.

Q: What if we change our TicketSpice event setup?
A: ApproveThis workflows are separate. Update them once, applies to all future events.

Q: Can we approve on mobile?
A: Approve via email, no app needed. Or use ApproveThis' mobile-friendly site.

This Isn't "Just Another Integration"

TicketSpice handles the sales. ApproveThis handles the human bottlenecks. Together, they mean:

• No more comp tickets tanking your budget
• No delays because someone's approver is OOO
• No scrambling to revoke tickets that weren't supposed to go live

It's about making your event's money, reputation, and sanity actually scalable.
