ApproveThis manages your Scoreboard Buzz Integration approvals.

When Real-Time Displays Meet Real-World Red Tape

Let's be honest - nothing kills the buzz of live events faster than approval bottlenecks. While Scoreboard Buzz keeps crowds hyped with dynamic leaderboards, most organizations still handle approvals like it's 1999: endless emails, forgotten requests, and last-minute panics when Karen from accounting's on vacation.

That's where ApproveThis comes in. We don't just automate approvals - we make them actually work for fast-paced environments. Connect the two via Zapier, and you've got a playbook that keeps both your approval processes and your scoreboards running at game speed.

What Each Tool Brings to the Court

Scoreboard Buzz turns any screen into a live command center - perfect for sports leagues, corporate wellness challenges, or fundraising thermometers. But here's the rub: updating those displays often requires multiple sign-offs that traditional tools can't handle at scale.

ApproveThis cuts through the red tape with:

• Email approvals (no app logins required)
• Automatic escalations when thresholds get crossed
• Real-time tracking that actually shows who's holding things up

Together, they create a closed-loop system where approved updates hit displays instantly, while rejected ones get bounced back before anyone sees them.

4 Ways Teams Actually Use This Combo

1. Game-Time Approvals That Don't Need a Timeout

The Problem: Local sports leagues needing to verify game details (rosters, sponsors, emergency contacts) before displaying them to 500 parents in the bleachers.

The Fix: Auto-create ApproveThis requests whenever Scoreboard Buzz gets new games. League admins approve via email while chasing down stray soccer balls. Bonus: Use approval thresholds to auto-approve recurring events under $500.

Real impact: The Cedar Rapids Youth League cut pre-game setup from 2 hours to 20 minutes by eliminating back-and-forth emails.

2. Tracking Approval KPIs Like You Track Scores

The Problem: Sales teams running incentive dashboards can't prove if delayed payouts are due to HR approvals or actual performance gaps.

The Fix: Every approved commission request in ApproveThis triggers a Scoreboard Buzz activity score. Now you see if approval lag times correlate with slumping sales numbers.

Pro tip: Use ApproveThis' calculated fields to auto-flag commission requests over $10K for extra scrutiny.

3. Sponsor Assets That Don't Require a Scavenger Hunt

The Problem: Corporate events waiting on legal to approve sponsor logos for real-time donation trackers.

The Fix: New trackables in Scoreboard Buzz auto-generate approval tasks. Legal team approves/denies via email without needing Scoreboard Buzz logins. Approved assets go live instantly; rejected ones notify the events team with comments.

Why it works: ApproveThis' vacation delegation means no more "Waiting on Jim's out-of-office reply" holdups.

4. Volunteer Onboarding That Doesn't Suck the Life Out of You

The Problem: Marathon organizers needing 50+ volunteer coordinators approved across medical, logistics, and sponsor teams.

The Fix: New Scoreboard Buzz users trigger ApproveThis workflows requiring sign-off from department heads. Use sequential approvals to ensure medical volunteers get vetted by actual doctors first.

Hidden benefit: ApproveThis logs all decisions for compliance audits - crucial for events with municipal oversight.

Setting This Up Without Losing Your Mind

Here's why even non-tech teams love this integration:

1. Create a Zapier account (free tier works)
2. Connect Scoreboard Buzz (takes 2 minutes)
3. Pick an ApproveThis template from our pre-built library

Most users get their first workflow live in 18 minutes. Not because we timed it - because that's what customers keep telling us.

Who Actually Benefits From This?

Operations Teams

Stop being the human router between Scoreboard Buzz and a dozen approvers. Set conditional rules so routine updates auto-approve, while only exceptions hit your inbox.

Marketing/Events Crews

HR & Volunteer Coordinators

Onboard 200 concession stand workers without drowning in PDFs. Approvers get clean, mobile-friendly requests showing only relevant info.

Why This Isn't Just Another Integration

Most approval tools require approvers to learn new software. ApproveThis works where people already live - their inboxes. For Scoreboard Buzz users, that means:

• External vendors can approve sponsorship assets without logins
• Board members approve budget displays between meetings
• Medical staff vet emergency contact displays from their phones

It's the difference between tools people have to use and tools they actually use.
