ApproveThis manages your HubPeople Integration approvals.

Let’s cut to the chase: running a dating platform means dealing with two things that hate waiting – payments and people. While HubPeople lets you spin up dating sites faster than a bad first date, ApproveThis handles the backstage drama of getting decisions made. Combine them via Zapier, and you’ve got a power couple that keeps cash flowing, users vetted, and zero approval bottlenecks killing your vibe.

Why This Integration Doesn’t Suck

HubPeople handles the flashy stuff – member profiles, payment processing, those cringy "It’s a match!" animations. ApproveThis does the adulting: making sure money moves get reviewed, sketchy signups get flagged, and your team isn’t stuck chasing down MIA approvers. Together, they automate the bureaucratic crap that makes scaling a nightmare.

What You’re Not Getting

This isn’t some half-baked "integration" where you need a PhD in Zapier to make it work. We’re talking two specific triggers that solve real problems:

Use Case 1: Payment Approvals That Don’t Move at Glacial Speed

Scenario: Your dating site processes a $5,000 premium membership purchase. HubPeople sees the payment. Instead of:

• Finance team getting 37 Slack pings
• Someone digging through a Google Sheet
• Legal needing to "circle back" (read: delay)

ApproveThis auto-creates an approval request with payment details. Decision-makers get it in email (no HubPeople login needed), click approve/deny, and HubPeople gets the verdict. All before the user finishes setting up their "I love long walks on the beach" profile.

Use Case 2: Killing Fake Profiles Before They Scam Your Users

Scenario: 250 new users sign up during a TikTok campaign. HubPeople triggers ApproveThis to:

• Flag accounts with suspicious email domains
• Require manual review for profiles with stock photos
• Auto-approve clean registrations instantly

Your moderators only see the 10% that matter. No more approving "John Doe" with a Gmail account and a photo stolen from a stock image site.

Where This Combo Outshines DIY Solutions

Could you handle approvals in HubPeople with custom code or a janky spreadsheet? Sure. But here’s why that’s a terrible idea:

Feature Face-Off

HubPeople’s Strength: Rapid deployment of dating sites, payment processing, user management.
ApproveThis’ Add-On: Structured approvals that adapt to your rules without coding.

Example: A user buys 100 premium matches. HubPeople processes the cash. ApproveThis checks if it’s over $1,000, auto-escalates to a CFO if needed, and if they’re OOO, delegates to their second-in-command. Try that with a HubPeople-native solution.

Who Actually Benefits (Besides Your Sanity)

Finance Teams: No more logins to random platforms. They approve/deny payments via email, with all context attached. Thresholds mean they only see big transactions.
Compliance Officers: Every approval (or denial) is auditable. No "I thought Bob handled it" excuses.
Customer Support: Faster approvals = fewer "Where’s my premium membership?!" tickets at 2 AM.

Setting This Up Without Losing Your Mind

1. Zapier account (obviously)
2. Connect HubPeople → ApproveThis
3. Pick trigger: "New Payment" or "New Registration"
4. Map critical fields: Amount, User Email, Transaction ID
5. Set approval rules in ApproveThis (thresholds, approvers, etc.)
Done. Test with a $1 payment before going live with real cash.

Pro Tip: Use Calculated Fields to Auto-Flag Issues

Example: If a user’s registration IP doesn’t match their billing country, auto-route for review. No coding – just dropdowns in ApproveThis.

The Hidden Perk Your CFO Will Love

ApproveThis approvers don’t need HubPeople licenses. External auditors? Lawyers? Contractors? They can approve stuff via email without you paying for extra seats. (Yes, they still need access to their email. No, we can’t fix that.)

When to Use This vs. When to Pass

Good Fit: Dating platforms handling subscriptions, paid matches, or VIP tiers. Also for agencies managing multiple HubPeople sites.
Bad Fit: If all your payments are $5/month and you don’t care about fraud. (Spoiler: You should care about fraud.)

Real Talk: Limitations to Know

- Zapier delays: Rare, but approvals aren’t instant. If you’re processing $10k/minute, talk to us about API options.
- HubPeople data limits: We can only use what they provide. Need more user data for approvals? Push them to add custom fields.

Bottom Line

ApproveThis + HubPeople via Zapier is for teams tired of:
- Payment disputes because someone "forgot" to approve a refund
- Fake profiles slipping through because moderation is overwhelmed
- Legal nightmares from auto-approving sketchy transactions

It’s not sexy, but neither is getting sued. Set it up in an afternoon, then get back to work making matches instead of chasing approvals.
