# Can we set an approval process within the system to seek approval from, for example, the GM to proceed with an event when the full deposit has not been collected a preset number of days before the event start date?

> Yes. An exception approval process can require sign-off, for example from the General Manager, before an event proceeds when the full deposit has not been collected by a preset date.

Thynk is a Salesforce-native hospitality commercial platform for hotel and venue sales, catering, events and MICE.

## Full answer

Yes. Thynk’s configurable approval workflows can include a deposit exception step. When the full deposit has not been collected a preset number of days before the event start date, the booking is routed automatically to an approver, for example the General Manager, who decides whether the event proceeds.
The approval request, the decision and the approver are recorded on the booking, giving finance, sales and operations teams a clear audit trail. Deposit policies and automatic reminders keep collection on track well before the deadline.
