ApproveThis manages your Reward Sciences Integration approvals.

Two Platforms, One Competitive Advantage

When Reward Sciences tracks customer loyalty activities and ApproveThis manages approval workflows, businesses gain an operational rhythm that turns customer engagement into strategic advantage. This integration through Zapier creates closed-loop automation where every reward milestone triggers approval workflows, and every approval decision feeds back into loyalty program analytics. For marketing teams running promotions, finance teams controlling budgets, and customer success teams managing experiences – this partnership delivers precision at scale.

Why This Integration Changes the Game

Reward Sciences excels at tracking granular customer interactions – contest entries, referral completions, or VIP tier upgrades. But manual approval processes create bottlenecks in fulfilling rewards, verifying eligibility, or allocating budgets. ApproveThis injects structure into these decisions with:

• Automatic request routing based on reward type or value
• Real-time visibility into pending approvals affecting loyalty metrics

Together, they ensure promotional offers get validated before fulfillment, high-value rewards receive proper oversight, and compliance teams maintain audit trails without slowing down marketing velocity.

Real-World Workflows for Strategic Teams

1. Campaign-Specific Reward Authorization

A regional beverage company uses Reward Sciences to track social media hashtag challenges. When participants reach 50 shares, ApproveThis automatically routes reward approval requests to:

• Marketing managers (verifying authentic engagement)
• Legal teams (ensuring contest compliance)

Approvers receive email notifications with embedded participation metrics from Reward Sciences. Using ApproveThis' calculated fields, requests auto-approve if engagement duration exceeds 2 weeks (filtering bot activity).

2. Tiered Reward Fulfillment

A SaaS company's customer success team tracks product adoption milestones in Reward Sciences. When enterprise clients complete 10 training modules, ApproveThis:

1. Routes premium reward requests (e.g., dedicated support hours) to C-suite approvers
2. Auto-approves standard rewards under $500 using predefined thresholds

Approval groups ensure regional directors review requests in their territory first, with vacation delegation preventing delays during holidays.

3. Budget-Controlled Loyalty Activities

An e-commerce retailer ties Reward Sciences points to quarterly budgets managed in ApproveThis. When loyalty redemptions hit 80% of allocated funds:

• ApproveThis triggers automatic CFO alerts
• All subsequent rewards require finance team approval

Real-time dashboards show pending approvals' financial impact, allowing rapid budget reallocations during peak sales periods.

Technical Setup Made Simple

Connecting Reward Sciences and ApproveThis via Zapier takes three steps:

1. Create Zapier triggers for Reward Sciences events (new conversions, participants)
2. Map participant data to ApproveThis request templates using calculated fields
3. Configure approval rules and escalation paths in ApproveThis

Critical pro tip: Use ApproveThis' conditional logic to auto-approve repeat participants who've passed previous verifications, reducing manual reviews by 30-60%.

Department-Specific Wins

Marketing Teams: Speed Meets Compliance

Launch flash sales with confidence – ApproveThis ensures gift card rewards only trigger after legal approves disclaimer language. Bonus: Automatically track approved promotions in Reward Sciences for ROI analysis.

Customer Success: Personalized Rewards at Scale

When high-value clients complete onboarding milestones in Reward Sciences, ApproveThis routes custom reward proposals (e.g., executive briefings) to account managers before fulfillment.

Finance: Real-Time Budget Guardrails

ApproveThis' approval thresholds sync with Reward Sciences redemption rates. Example: Auto-escalate requests when monthly gift card allocations hit 75% capacity.

The Hidden Advantage: External Collaboration

Channel partners using Reward Sciences don't need ApproveThis licenses to participate in approval workflows. A national franchise:

• Shares Reward Sciences conversion data with regional owners
• Routes location-specific reward approvals via ApproveThis email

Owners approve/deny requests directly from inboxes – no software training required.

Beyond Basic Automation

While Zapier handles the initial connection, ApproveThis adds decision-making intelligence:

1. Multi-tiered approvals for high-value rewards (require CMO + CFO sign-off)
2. Auto-denials for duplicate submissions using Reward Sciences participant IDs
3. Audit trails matching approval decisions to Reward Sciences redemption data
