ApproveThis manages your Boomerangme Integration approvals.

When Approval Management Meets Loyalty Rewards

Let's get real - managing loyalty programs shouldn't feel like herding cats through a spreadsheet maze. Between card issuances, points tracking, and reward approvals, most teams waste more time on process BS than actual customer engagement. That's where combining ApproveThis and Boomerangme through Zapier changes the game.

ApproveThis handles the bureaucratic heavy lifting of approvals, while Boomerangme executes loyalty rewards. Together, they create an airtight system where customer incentives move at the speed of business, not bureaucracy. No more chasing down sign-offs or manual data entry between platforms. Just clean, automated workflows that keep customers happy and leadership sleeping soundly.

Why This Combo Works for Mid-Sized Companies

For teams managing 50-5,000 customers (or employees), this integration solves three critical pain points:

• No license juggling: Approvers don't need Boomerangme logins - they approve via email or ApproveThis dashboard
• Instant reward fulfillment: Approved requests trigger Boomerangme actions automatically
• Cross-team visibility: Marketing sees approval status, finance tracks reward costs, ops monitors fulfillment

Take a retail chain launching a new loyalty tier. Marketing wants to offer double points, but finance needs to cap the offer at 500 customers. With ApproveThis thresholds and Boomerangme's card management, they can set auto-approvals up to 500 signups, then require manual review beyond that - all without leaving their existing tools.

Real Workflows for Real Teams

1. Points That Move When You Do

Here's how a regional bank automated their customer onboarding:

The Problem: New account holders waited 3-5 days for welcome bonus points while compliance reviewed each application.

The Fix: Now, when Boomerangme issues a new loyalty card (trigger), ApproveThis automatically routes the bonus points request to compliance. Approved? Points hit the customer's account before their first deposit. Denied? The card still works with base benefits.

Key players: Compliance teams get structured requests with all needed docs attached. Branch managers see real-time approval status. CSRs don't field "where's my points?" calls anymore.

2. Feedback That Actually Does Something

A hotel chain's dirty secret: Customer feedback about rewards went into a black hole between departments. Now:

1. Guest submits feedback via Boomerangme app
2. Zapier creates ApproveThis request with feedback details
3. Marketing reviews, approves/denies compensation (free night, points, etc.)
4. Approved? Boomerangme automatically updates guest's loyalty account

Result: 68% faster response to premium guests. General manager gets weekly reports on compensation trends without chasing down spreadsheets.

3. Stamps as Currency

For a cosmetic brand using Boomerangme's stamp system:

- Store staff approve free product redemptions via ApproveThis email
- Approved? Stamp deducts from customer's card automatically
- Denied? Auto-email explains why + offers alternative reward

Beauty of this setup: Retail employees don't need Boomerangme access to manage rewards, reducing license costs and training time.

Setting Up Without Losing Your Mind

Here's the brass tacks on getting started:

Step 1: Connect ApproveThis and Boomerangme to Zapier

Step 2: Pick your trigger (e.g., "New Request" in ApproveThis)

Step 3: Choose resulting action in Boomerangme (e.g., "Add Points")

Pro Tip: Use ApproveThis' calculated fields to auto-determine reward values. For example, set points based on purchase amount in the approval request.

Who Wins Besides Your Sanity?

Marketing Teams

Launch flash rewards without IT help. Set approval thresholds so campaigns under $5K auto-approve, bigger spends route to directors. Track which approvals convert to redemptions in real-time.

Finance Nerds

Finally get visibility into loyalty program costs. Require approvals for any reward over $X. Use historical approval data to forecast next quarter's budget.

Operations Managers

See approval bottlenecks instantly. If card issuance approvals pile up, reassign reviewers on the fly. Bonus: Automatically notify customers when rewards are approved AND fulfilled.

But Wait, There's More (Actually Useful Features)

ApproveThis isn't just a middleman - these features make it stickier:

Vacation Delegation: CFO out? Automatically reroute high-value approvals without missing SLAs.

Approval Groups: Need consensus from 3 department heads? Set it and forget it.

Thresholds: Auto-approve small points adjustments, escalate big spends.

Combined with Boomerangme's white-label options, you've got an approval-reward system that looks 100% yours without the dev headaches.

Bottom Line for Grown-Ups

If you're managing loyalty programs at scale, manual approvals are a silent killer. They delay rewards, frustrate customers, and create compliance risks. By connecting ApproveThis and Boomerangme through Zapier, you're not just automating workflows - you're aligning incentives across teams while keeping tight control over costs.

The kicker? You can test drive this without overhauling your existing systems. Start with one workflow (like feedback-to-rewards), then expand as you see results.
