ApproveThis manages your vivenu approvals.

When Ticket Sales Meet Approval Hell

Let's be real: event planning is 80% logistics and 20% hoping your spreadsheet formulas don't break. Between last-minute vendor contracts, sponsor deals that need three signatures, and that one exec who's always "on vacation" during critical approvals, vivenu's ticketing engine might be the only thing keeping your sanity intact.

ApproveThis isn't here to be another app that makes you want to throw your laptop. We automate the approval garbage so you can focus on selling out venues. Connect it to vivenu via Zapier, and suddenly those "urgent!!" Slack messages about invoice sign-offs get replaced by actual work getting done.

Why This Combo Doesn't Suck

vivenu handles the tickets. ApproveThis handles the politics. Together, they solve three headaches every event pro hates:

• No more chasing down approvers when a big sponsor wants custom ticket packages
• Zero "Oops, forgot to check with Legal" moments on contracts
• Killing spreadsheet ping-pong for budget approvals tied to ticket sales data

Bonus: Your approvers don't need vivenu logins. Send contracts to external lawyers or sponsors directly through ApproveThis without paying for extra seats. They approve via email like normal humans.

Real Uses That Don't Feel Like Corporate BS

1. "Why Is This $50K Ticket Bundle Stuck in Legal?!"

The Zap: vivenu checkout completed → ApproveThis request

Music festivals use this to auto-flag bulk orders over 100 tickets. ApproveThis pings fraud prevention teams with order details + calculated risk scores. If it's clean? Auto-approved. Smells fishy? Routes to security with a single click.

Bonus for paranoid CFOs: Set approval thresholds based on ticket revenue. Under $10K? Auto-okay. Over? Force a finance review before confirming the order.

2. Sponsors Wanting Custom Perks (Without the 20-Email Thread)

The Zap: New ApproveThis request → vivenu customer account

Conference organizers create sponsor tiers in ApproveThis. When sales negotiates a deal, the request auto-generates a vivenu account with negotiated ticket types, discount codes, and branding rights. Legal approves the contract terms in parallel through the same workflow.

Pro move: Use calculated fields to show real-time revenue impact based on sponsor's requested perks.

3. VIPs Demanding Last-Minute Changes (Without Your Head Exploding)

The Zap: vivenu customer update → ApproveThis request

Sports teams get this. When a high-value client updates their profile (new address, payment method, etc.), ApproveThis requires a box office manager to verify before syncing to vivenu. Prevents "helpful" interns from accidentally comping tickets to the wrong people.

Time saver: Approval groups let you loop in the client's account rep + billing specialist in one step.

Setting This Up Without Calling IT

If you can order DoorDash, you can connect these apps:

1. Grab your Zapier account (free tier works)
2. Pick a vivenu trigger (new checkout, customer update, etc.)
3. Choose ApproveThis as the action ("Create Request")
4. Map vivenu data to approval fields (ticket quantities → calculated $ totals)

Test it with a fake event sale. Boom – requests now appear in ApproveThis with all context needed. Approvers get email links that don't require logins. Deny a request? It auto-updates vivenu statuses.

Who Actually Benefits (Besides Your Sanity)

Finance Teams

See every high-risk transaction before it's finalized. Set rules like "Any discount over 20% needs CFO eyes" directly tied to vivenu sales data. Audit trails auto-save to your ERP system.

Operations Managers

Stop being the messenger between sales and legal. Custom workflows ensure contracts get reviewed in order: legal terms → payment terms → vivenu setup. Miss a step? The request can't move forward.

External Partners

Sponsors, venues, and vendors approve directly via email. No guest accounts. No permission settings. They click "Approve," you get notified, and vivenu updates happen behind the scenes.

Wait, There's More (But We Won't Annoy You)

ApproveThis plays nice with vivenu's API without needing a CS degree:

Vacation Delegation: CFO out? Requests auto-reassign to their deputy without you lifting a finger.

Dynamic Fields: Show real-time calculations in approval requests ("This 15% discount = $2,300 revenue loss based on current registrations").

Escalation Rules: If a request sits unopened for 24hrs, bump it up the chain. No more stalled deals.

Bottom Line: Sell Tickets, Not Your Soul

vivenu handles the fans. ApproveThis handles the friction. Together, they shave hours off your week by making approvals less... human.

Ready to stop herding cats? Get ApproveThis, connect it to vivenu in 15 minutes, and actually enjoy your next event rollout.
