ApproveThis manages your Movement Integration approvals.

Why Bother Connecting These Two?

Let’s cut to the chase: if you’re using Movement to build apps for memberships, subscriptions, or content delivery, you’re already winning at the "make things happen" game. But here’s the kicker – every new signup, subscription, or member segment change probably needs someone’s thumbs-up. That’s where ApproveThis comes in. Together, they turn “Hey, can someone approve this?” into “It’s already handled.”

Movement lets you build apps without coding. ApproveThis lets you approve things without chaos. Connect them through Zapier, and you’ve got a system where member approvals happen faster than your morning coffee cools off. No more spreadsheets, no more “Did you see my email?” – just clean, trackable workflows that keep your team from drowning in permission slips.

Who This Actually Helps

This isn’t just for tech teams. We’re talking:

• Community platforms vetting new members
• Media companies managing premium content access
• Course creators approving subscription upgrades

Basically, anyone using Movement to gatekeep content or services. The magic trick? Approvers don’t need a Movement license. Your external partners or exec team can approve stuff directly from their inbox without getting lost in another platform.

Four Ways This Combo Actually Works

1. New Signup? Time for Vetting

The play: Auto-create approval requests when someone signs up in Movement.
Why it matters: Perfect for membership-based businesses. Say you run a private professional network. Every new applicant triggers an approval chain – maybe community manager first, then a board member if it’s a high-profile request. ApproveThis handles the routing, reminders, and audit trail.

Real-world example: A fitness app uses this to screen free trial users before granting access to premium workout plans. Approval thresholds auto-approve basic requests but escalate if the user’s location matches restricted regions.

2. Approved? Welcome to the Club

The flip side: When ApproveThis gives the green light, Movement automatically creates the member account.
Where it shines: Eliminates the approval-to-onboarding gap. A coding bootcamp uses this to enroll students only after financial aid approvals clear. No more manual data entry errors or “Why can’t I login?” emails.

3. Segment Changes Need Oversight

The nuance: Trigger approvals when members move between segments (like free → premium).
Smart move for: Content platforms preventing accidental access upgrades. Imagine a news site where moving to “investor tier” requires compliance checks. Approval groups ensure both legal and editorial teams sign off first.

4. Subscription Starts Require Checks

The money angle: New subscription in Movement? Queue approval based on amount or product type.
Stops this: That $10K enterprise plan purchase that should’ve had CFO review. Calculated fields in ApproveThis can auto-route based on deal size, while vacation coverage ensures deals don’t stall because someone’s offgrid.

Setup: Less Time Than a TikTok Scroll

1. Create a Zap
2. Pick Movement trigger (like “New Signup”)
3. Choose ApproveThis action (“Create Request”)
4. Map fields (takes 2 minutes)
5. Test it with real data

Pro tip: Use Approval Thresholds to auto-approve routine requests. Only escalate the exceptions – saves everyone’s time.

What You’re Really Getting Here

For Operations Teams

No more herding cats for approvals. Real-time tracking shows exactly where requests stall. If your VP of Ops asks “Why’s Q4 membership growth slow?”, you can actually show them the approval bottleneck data.

For Membership Managers

Custom workflows mean different approval rules for different member tiers. Bronze members? Single approver. Platinum? Needs consensus from three department heads. All automatic based on how you’ve configured Movement segments.

For Finance Nerds

Subscription approvals with monetary thresholds. Anything under $500/month auto-approves. Over that? CFO gets emailed. Audit trails built-in for SOX compliance or just CYA moments.

For IT Heroes

Less “Can you fix this approval process?” tickets. They set up the Zap once, you modify workflows in ApproveThis as needed. No code, no begging the dev team for help.

But Wait – There’s More (Actually Useful Features)

ApproveThis isn’t just a rubber stamp machine:

• Email approvals: Approvers can yay/nay from their inbox – critical when dealing with external partners
• Conditional logic: Skip unnecessary approvers based on request data from Movement
• Delegation: Auto-reassign approvals when people are OOO (summer Fridays handled)

Why This Isn’t Just Another Integration

Movement builds the doors. ApproveThis manages the keys. Together, they ensure:

- New members get vetted before accessing sensitive areas
- Subscription upgrades follow compliance rules
- Content access changes don’t happen without review
- Every approval is documented, not buried in Slack

It’s about control without bureaucracy. Speed without risk.
