ApproveThis manages your EventCreate Integration approvals.

When Approval Management Meets Event Planning

Let’s be real – planning events is stressful enough without chasing down signatures for every vendor contract or attendee list change. That’s where pairing ApproveThis (your approval ninja) with EventCreate (your event wingman) turns "waiting on approvals" from a bottleneck into a background process. Zapier handles the handoff between platforms, so you’re not playing middle manager between apps.

Why This Combo Works

EventCreate handles the flashy stuff: beautiful event pages, ticket sales, attendee tracking. ApproveThis does the unsexy but critical work: routing decisions to the right people, enforcing approval rules, keeping audit trails. Together through Zapier, they create closed-loop automation where event actions trigger approval workflows – no manual data entry, no dropped balls.

Key Benefits for Teams

• Marketing/Events: Stop emailing spreadsheets for attendee list approvals
• Finance: Auto-route vendor payments tied to specific events
• Operations: Enforce contract sign-offs before event dates get locked

Real-World Use Cases That Don’t Suck

These aren’t hypothetical "maybe someday" scenarios – we’re talking actual workflows our customers use to avoid last-minute fire drills.

1. Attendee Vetting Without the Headache

Picture this: Your sales team registers 50 prospects for a VIP dinner through EventCreate. Instead of Slack-bombing managers for approval, ApproveThis automatically:

• Checks if attendee meets budget criteria
• Routes to CMO if total costs exceed $5K
• Auto-approves standard registrations

Who uses this: Tech conference organizers requiring NDAs for beta demos, healthcare companies managing HIPAA-compliant event attendees.

2. Purchase Approvals That Actually Prevent Overspending

When your event team orders $8,000 worth of swag through EventCreate’s purchase system, ApproveThis jumps in to:

• Flag orders over department budget
• Require dual approval from Finance + Legal
• Hold orders until contracts are signed

Who uses this: Universities managing alumni galas, agencies handling client event budgets.

Setting Up Without the Tech Headaches

If you can set up a Zoom call, you can connect these tools. Here’s the 30-second version:

1. Create Zapier account (they have a free tier)
2. Choose your trigger in EventCreate (new attendee/purchase)
3. Select ApproveThis action (create approval request)
4. Map data fields between apps

Pro tip: Use ApproveThis’ calculated fields to auto-flag requests needing special attention. Example: “If purchase amount > $10K, require CFO approval.”

Features You’ll Actually Use

We’re not here to sell you bloatware. These integration-specific features get used daily by our customers:

Approval Thresholds That Work

Set dollar limits where low-risk purchases auto-approve (freeing up 40% of requests according to our data), while big-ticket items route up the chain. No more $500 approvals sitting on the CEO’s desk.

Delegation That Doesn’t Drop the Ball

When your head of events takes PTO, ApproveThis automatically reassigns their approvals – no manual handoffs. EventCreate still tracks all changes, so there’s full visibility.

Why Your Finance Team Will High-Five You

Approvals aren’t just about speed – they’re about audit trails. The ApproveThis/EventCreate combo gives Finance:

• Auto-generated paper trails for every event purchase
• Budget holdbacks until approvals are secured
• Cross-department chargebacks without the spreadsheet hell

For the External Partners Who Can’t Be Trusted With Logins

Client needs to approve event copy? Vendor requires contract sign-off? ApproveThis lets external users approve via email without needing EventCreate access. Less security risk, fewer password reset calls.

The Bottom Line

EventCreate handles the “what” of your events. ApproveThis manages the “who approved what.” Together via Zapier, they remove the approval bottlenecks that turn event planning into a permission-seeking nightmare.
