ApproveThis manages your Checkin.no Integration approvals.

Why Your Event Team Needs This Integration (Besides Saving Their Sanity)

Let's face it - event planning makes herding cats look organized. Between last-minute venue changes, VIP ticket requests, and budget approvals that vanish into email black holes, most teams are one spreadsheet away from mutiny. That's where connecting Checkin.no's event muscle with ApproveThis' approval brains changes the game.

Checkin.no handles the logistics: creating events, selling tickets, managing attendee data. ApproveThis handles the human bottleneck: getting decisions made fast without chasing people through Slack. Together through Zapier, they automate the approval crap that slows down events. No more "Did you see my email?" or "Who needs to sign off on this?" Just events that actually happen.

Real-World Fixes for Universal Event Headaches

Use Case 1: Killing "Shadow Events" Before They Happen

Marketing teams love creating splashy product launches. Finance teams love saying "Who approved this?" three days before showtime. Our integration stops this dance.

When someone creates a new event in Checkin.no, Zapier automatically:

• Creates an ApproveThis request with event details
• Routes it to legal (contract review), finance (budget check), and execs (strategic alignment)
• Locks the event from going live until all approvals are in

Actual result: That pop-up dinner for 500 people either gets proper sign-offs during planning, or gets killed before you're stuck explaining a $20K caviar bill.

Use Case 2: No More "Oops, We Oversold" Disasters

New ticket type created in Checkin.no? Great. But is it...

• Priced correctly compared to similar events?
• Approved for the right sales channels?
• Compliant with regional attendee caps?

Instead of assuming someone checked, the integration:

1. Triggers an approval request when any ticket is created
2. Uses ApproveThis' calculated fields to auto-flag issues (ex: 500-person ticket for a 200-capacity venue)
3. Requires sign-off from department heads before tickets go live

Bonus win: All approval criteria and decisions are logged automatically. When compliance comes knocking, you're ready.

Setup That Takes Less Time Than a Coffee Run

If you can make a Zapier account (free), you can do this:

Step 1: Connect the Players

In Zapier, create a new Zap using Checkin.no as the trigger app. Pick either "New Event" or "New Ticket" as your starting point. Authenticate both Checkin.no and ApproveThis accounts - standard OAuth stuff, no coding.

Step 2: Map What Matters

When configuring ApproveThis' "Create Request" action:

• Pull Checkin.no data into approval forms (event dates, ticket quantities, pricing)
• Set approval rules (ex: Any event over $50K budget auto-escalates to CFO)
• Add context notes for approvers ("VIP tickets include backstage access - verify security plan")

Step 3: Test Drive

Create a test event in Checkin.no. Within minutes, approvers should get email/Slack notifications from ApproveThis. They click approve/reject without needing Checkin.no logins. Done.

Department-Specific Wins (No Fluff)

Marketing Teams: Ship Faster, Less BS

Stop waiting 3 days for legal to review event descriptions. Set up parallel approvals where copy, design, and compliance review happen simultaneously. Use ApproveThis' version tracking to avoid "Which draft did we approve?" chaos.

Operations: Prevent Logistical Nightmares

Auto-flag events missing required fields (ex: no catering vendor selected for 1000+ person conference). Use approval thresholds to auto-approve repeat vendors with good track records, while routing new suppliers for manual review.

Finance: Actually Control Budgets

Connect ticket pricing to existing deal terms in your CRM. If a VIP ticket discount exceeds contracted rates, ApproveThis blocks approval until sales ops verifies. All while keeping approvers out of your actual CRM system.

Why This Isn't Just Another Zap

Most Checkin.no integrations just move data. This one prevents bad data from existing. By putting approvals in the critical path before events go live, you:

Fix process leaks: Approvers get context-rich requests (ticket pricing history, past event performance) not just "Approve this?" emails.

Audit-proof everything: Every decision is timestamped, with notes. When the CEO asks why you approved that underperforming webinar series, show them who signed off and why.

Stop tool hopping: Approvers never touch Checkin.no. They review in ApproveThis via email or Slack. External vendors? Add them as guests - no new licenses needed.

Cool Features You'll Actually Use

Set It & Forget It Approvals

Example: If a ticket price is under $100 and uses pre-approved templates, auto-approve in 1 hour unless someone objects. Frees up managers for real work.

Dead Person Approval Contingency

Okay, not dead. But when your event lead is on PTO, ApproveThis auto-reassigns their approvals to a delegate. No more "Waiting on Jordan" statuses.

Emergency Stop Button

Already approved an event, but sudden budget cuts? Use ApproveThis' audit trail to quickly identify which events can be modified or canceled with least fallout.

The Bottom Line: Events Move Fast, Approvals Should Too

In the 10 minutes it took to read this, your team probably created 3 events and 20 ticket variations... with zero approvals. Every day without this integration means:

- Missed compliance deadlines
- Budget overruns
- That one person who forwards approval emails to their personal account

ApproveThis + Checkin.no via Zapier fixes this. Not with magic, but with ruthless efficiency. Setup takes 20 minutes. Results last as long as you run events (which is forever).

Next step: Get an ApproveThis trial, connect your Checkin.no account, and make your next event approval happen before your next coffee break.
