Integration Category: Event Management

Two Platforms, One Goal

Splash EU helps teams create memorable events – but even the best parties start with paperwork. Between vendor contracts, guest list approvals, and budget sign-offs, event planners often spend more time chasing decisions than designing experiences. This is where ApproveThis steps in. By connecting Splash EU's event management tools with ApproveThis' approval automation through Zapier, teams can turn bureaucratic delays into strategic advantages.

Why This Integration Makes Sense

Splash EU excels at managing the lifecycle of events – from initial RSVPs to post-event analytics. ApproveThis adds a layer of structured decision-making without disrupting existing workflows. Together, they solve three critical challenges:

  • Speed: Automatically route decisions to the right people at the right time
  • Compliance: Maintain audit trails for financial and legal approvals

Unlike basic approval features built into some tools, ApproveThis provides enterprise-grade controls that adapt to complex organizational structures. Splash EU users gain these capabilities without needing to rebuild existing processes.

Real-World Applications for Event Teams

Use Case 1: VIP Guest Approval Workflows

When a high-profile attendee RSVPs through Splash EU, marketing teams often need internal approvals before confirming attendance. A media company used this integration to:

  1. Trigger approval requests in ApproveThis when specific VIPs register
  2. Route requests to legal, security, and executive teams simultaneously
  3. Automatically update Splash EU attendee status based on decisions

By using ApproveThis' calculated fields, they automatically flagged registrations requiring special handling based on job title or company size.

Use Case 2: Budget Control for Event Check-Ins

A conference organizer implemented approval thresholds for attendee check-ins that triggered when:

  • Last-minute arrivals exceeded venue capacity
  • VIP attendees required additional security resources

ApproveThis' escalation rules automatically involved department heads when check-ins impacted budget limits set in their workflows.

Use Case 3: Cross-Department Coordination

Corporate event teams often struggle with internal stakeholders. The integration helps by:

- Creating automatic approval chains when Splash EU events require facilities, IT, or catering resources
- Syncing attendee updates between systems without manual data entry
- Providing real-time dashboards showing approval status across all events

Implementation Made Simple

Connecting Splash EU and ApproveThis takes about 15 minutes through Zapier:

1. Create a Zapier account (if needed)
2. Choose Splash EU as your trigger app
3. Select ApproveThis as your action app
4. Map critical data fields between systems
5. Test with real event data
6. Deploy to production

Key configuration tip: Use ApproveThis' conditional logic to handle different approval paths for various event types in Splash EU.

Who Benefits Most?

Marketing Teams

Accelerate guest list approvals while maintaining brand safety controls. Approvers can vet attendees via email without needing Splash EU logins.

Operations Managers

Automatically escalate venue capacity issues or vendor contract approvals based on real-time check-in data from Splash EU.

Finance Departments

Enforce budget approvals before confirming high-cost attendees or last-minute registrations through calculated field thresholds.

Why This Becomes Your Secret Weapon

While Splash EU handles event logistics, ApproveThis adds governance without bureaucracy. The integration shines in three areas:

External Collaboration: Agency partners and venue staff can approve requests through email without accessing sensitive Splash EU data.
Mobile-First Approvals: Decision-makers can review Splash EU event details and approve requests directly from their phones.
Historical Tracking: All approvals sync back to Splash EU activity logs, creating a unified audit trail.

Getting Started

To implement these workflows:

1. Create your ApproveThis account
2. Connect via Zapier using the triggers and actions outlined above
3. Start with one high-impact workflow (like VIP approvals)
4. Expand to other use cases after initial success

The Bottom Line

Event planners using Splash EU gain three key advantages from ApproveThis integration:

1. Reduced Liability: Proper approvals for high-risk attendees or contracts
2. Faster Execution: Parallel approvals instead of linear email chains
3. Better Insights: Approval analytics that inform future event planning

This isn't about adding more processes – it's about making existing workflows smarter. When approvals keep pace with event planning velocity, teams can focus on creating experiences that matter rather than chasing signatures.
