ApproveThis manages your iaBilet Integration approvals.

Why Approval Automation Matters in Event Management

Event promoters using iaBilet face a hidden challenge: every ticket sale creates downstream decisions. Sponsor agreements need sign-offs, VIP access requires vetting, and bulk orders demand compliance checks. Manual approvals create bottlenecks exactly when speed matters most – during peak sales periods or last-minute changes. This is where connecting iaBilet with ApproveThis transforms operations.

Two Platforms, One Competitive Advantage

iaBilet excels at ticket sales and order processing, while ApproveThis specializes in structured decision-making workflows. When integrated via Zapier, they create an automated approval layer that keeps events moving forward without compromising control. Financial controllers gain real-time oversight of high-value transactions, while marketing teams accelerate partner collaborations through streamlined sign-offs.

Key Integration Benefits

Event organizers using both platforms can:

• Auto-route ticket order approvals based on purchase amount or customer type
• Require manager sign-off for comp tickets or VIP access passes

Approvers interact directly through email or ApproveThis’ dashboard – no need for iaBilet logins. This is particularly valuable when working with external sponsors or safety inspectors who shouldn’t have full access to your ticketing system.

Real-World Use Cases

1. High-Value Order Verification

When a corporate client purchases 500+ tickets through iaBilet, ApproveThis can:

• Auto-flag orders exceeding $10K for CFO review
• Require dual signatures from sales and legal teams

Example: A music festival uses calculated fields to auto-approve orders under $5K while routing larger purchases to their finance committee. Approval thresholds adapt dynamically based on remaining ticket inventory and event proximity.

2. Compliance-Driven Ticket Releases

For events requiring age verification or membership checks:

• New ticket triggers in iaBilet initiate approval workflows
• ApproveThis routes requests to compliance officers with order context

Example: A theater company selling VIP meet-and-greet packages automatically requires marketing director approval before releasing tickets, ensuring alignment with talent contracts.

Cross-Team Impact

Finance Teams

Configure approval chains that mirror your fiscal authority matrix. When iaBilet processes a refund request over $500, ApproveThis can require branch manager approval while automatically checking against original payment records.

Operations Teams

Use conditional logic to handle venue capacity approvals. If a group order in iaBilet would push attendance beyond fire code limits, ApproveThis automatically escalates to safety coordinators with real-time seat maps.

Marketing Teams

Speed up sponsor activations by linking ticket discount approvals to campaign KPIs. When a partner requests 500 promo codes in iaBilet, ApproveThis routes the request with performance data from previous events.

Implementation Made Simple

Setting up the integration takes three steps:

1. Create a Zapier account (if you don’t have one)
2. Choose your iaBilet trigger (e.g., “Order Complete”)
3. Map data fields to ApproveThis’ approval request template

Critical configuration tip: Use ApproveThis’ calculated fields to set dynamic approval thresholds. For example, orders exceeding 5% of remaining inventory could auto-route to department heads.

Advanced Features for Complex Events

ApproveThis adds granular control to iaBilet’s ticketing engine:

Approval Groups: Require consensus from all marketing VPs before releasing sponsor tickets, or sequential approvals from regional managers.

Vacation Delegation: Automatically reassign approvals when team members are OOO – critical for events with tight deadlines.

Audit Trails: Every approval decision is timestamped with reviewer comments, simplifying post-event reconciliation.

When to Consider This Integration

This combination delivers the most value for:

• Festivals with multiple sponsorship tiers requiring legal reviews
• Venues managing complex seat allocation rules
• Promoters running flash sales needing rapid manager approvals
