When Approval Automation Meets Audience Growth

Let’s get real: approval processes suck. They’re the traffic jam in your workflow highway. Now imagine your marketing team trying to launch a time-sensitive raffle campaign while accounting keeps rejecting expense forms because someone used the wrong shade of blue in the logo. This is where pairing ApproveThis with Raffaly turns "hurry up and wait" into "move fast without breaking things."

Raffaly helps businesses run raffles and engage audiences - but every prize draw, subscriber list, or partnership deal usually needs multiple sign-offs. ApproveThis handles the bureaucratic heavy lifting so your team can focus on what matters: creating buzzworthy campaigns that actually get approved before the trend dies.

Why This Combo Works (When Other Tools Don’t)

Raffaly’s great at managing the front-end excitement - entries, notifications, winner selection. ApproveThis handles the back-end reality checks:

  • Legal needs to vet prize terms
  • Finance approves budget increases
  • Compliance checks industry regulations

Here’s the kicker: ApproveThis approvers don’t need Raffaly logins. Your external legal counsel can review campaign terms without getting access to your entire Raffaly account. No more paying for extra seats just to get a signature.

Real-World Use Cases That Don’t Feel Like Corporate Fluff

1. The Viral Giveaway That Doesn’t Get Stuck in Legal

Picture this: Your social team spots a trending meme and wants to launch a same-day "Office Chair Racing Kit" giveaway through Raffaly. With the ApproveThis integration:

  • Raffaly triggers an approval request when the campaign draft is ready
  • Legal gets an email to review terms (which they can reject/approve from their phone)
  • Once cleared, the campaign auto-publishes without your team chasing people down

Actual companies using this: A skateboard brand that cut approval time for Instagram giveaways from 3 days to 4 hours. Their legal team approved terms while waiting in line for coffee.

2. Partner Promotions That Don’t Require 17 Slack Follow-Ups

When a new corporate sponsor comes onboard for a charity raffal:

  1. Raffaly detects the new partnership signup
  2. ApproveThis automatically routes approval to:
    • Partnerships manager (content review)
    • Finance lead (revenue split confirmation)
    • Legal (contract compliance)
  3. Everyone approves via email - sponsor gets added to campaign page automatically

Bonus: If the finance lead is on vacation, ApproveThis auto-reassigns to their backup. No more “Sorry, Karen’s in Bali” delays.

Setup That Doesn’t Require an IT Degree

Here’s how to connect Raffaly + ApproveThis in Zapier:

  1. Create Zapier account (if you don’t have one)
  2. Choose Raffaly as trigger app - pick “New Subscriber” or “New Follower” event
  3. Connect ApproveThis as action app - select “Create Request”
  4. Map Raffaly data to approval fields (e.g., subscriber email → approver comments)
  5. Test with live data - approve a test request yourself

Pro tip: Use ApproveThis’ calculated fields to auto-flag high-value subscribers needing exec review. Example: If a subscriber’s company size is 5k+ employees, route to VP of Sales for personal follow-up.

Why Your CFO Will Actually Like This

Approval thresholds turn budget babysitting into auto-pilot:

Say your Raffaly campaign has tiered prizes:

  • Under $500 → Auto-approved
  • $500-$5k → Marketing director approval
  • $5k+ → Needs CFO sign-off

ApproveThis handles the routing silently. Finance teams get 73% fewer “URGENT!!!” emails marked with 🔥 emojis.

For Teams Who Think “This Won’t Work for Us”

Nonprofits & Charity Raffles

Problem: Board members need to approve high-value donor perks but hate technology.
Solution: ApproveThis emails them a simple Approve/Reject link. No login. No app download. Just one click to approve offering a hospital naming right via Raffaly.

E-commerce Brands Running Flash Sales

Problem: Limited-time offers dying in approval purgatory.
Solution: When Raffaly hits 1k entries, auto-send discount code approval to CMO. They approve via email during their commute. Code goes live before the morning standup.

Agencies Managing Client Giveaways

Problem: Clients micromanage every campaign detail.
Solution: Route Raffaly drafts to client stakeholders via ApproveThis. All feedback happens in one thread. No more 12-person email chains with conflicting notes.

The Silent Benefits Nobody Talks About

Beyond faster approvals:

Audit Trails That Don’t Require FBI Investigation Skills
Every Raffaly action tied to an approval shows who approved what, when, and why. GDPR request? Compliance audit? You’ve got timestamped records ready to export.

Budget Forecasting That Actually Makes Sense
ApproveThis tracks approval times per department. Now you know legal takes 2 days on raffle terms but ops approves venue bookings in 4 hours. Plan campaign timelines without the guesswork.

Getting Started Without the Sales Pitch

If you’re managing Raffaly campaigns with more than 3 approvers, you’re wasting time. Here’s how to fix it:

  1. Register for ApproveThis (free trial works)
  2. Connect to Raffaly via Zapier (15-minute setup)
  3. Clone our pre-built templates for common Raffaly workflows

Or book a 10-minute demo where we’ll show how a brewery reduced giveaway approval time by 89% using these exact tools.

Final Reality Check

This isn’t about replacing human judgment - it’s about removing the administrative sludge so your team can focus on creative work that moves the needle. ApproveThis + Raffaly won’t make your campaigns go viral, but it will ensure that when lightning strikes, you’re not stuck waiting for someone to press “Approve.”
