Why Acadimiat and ApproveThis Work Better Together
Education platforms like Acadimiat empower experts to deliver training programs at scale, but administrative bottlenecks often slow down operations. This is where ApproveThis transforms how institutions manage critical decisions. By connecting Acadimiat's course management capabilities with ApproveThis' structured approval system through Zapier, teams gain an end-to-end solution for automating verification processes while maintaining rigorous oversight.
Consider this: 68% of training providers report delayed certifications due to manual approval backlogs. With this integration, course completions in Acadimiat automatically trigger approval workflows in ApproveThis, enabling instant action on tasks like certificate issuance or instructor assignments. Decision-makers receive email-based approvals without needing direct access to Acadimiat, making it ideal for external partners or multi-department collaboration.
Key Integration Benefits for Education Teams
For Course Administrators
Automate post-course actions by linking Acadimiat course completions to approval workflows. When a trainee finishes a program, ApproveThis can:
- Route certification requests to department heads
- Trigger feedback surveys upon approval
- Update CRM records with completion status
Example: A cybersecurity training provider uses calculated fields to auto-approve certifications for scores above 90%, while routing lower scores to instructors for manual review.
For Marketing Teams
New newsletter subscribers in Acadimiat can initiate approval workflows for personalized campaigns. ApproveThis helps marketing teams:
- Verify subscriber segments before sending premium content
- Approve discount offers for high-value leads
- Coordinate cross-department promotional campaigns
Example: A leadership academy approves customized nurture sequences for subscribers who complete specific courses, using approval thresholds to auto-greenlight requests from C-level trainees.
For Operations Managers
ApproveThis' vacation delegation feature ensures Acadimiat-triggered requests never stall. If a department head is unavailable, approvals automatically reroute to designated backups while maintaining audit trails in both systems.
Three Practical Use Cases for Education Providers
1. Instant Certification Processing
When a student completes a course in Acadimiat, ApproveThis automatically creates an approval request with all relevant data: student ID, final score, and course details. Academic directors receive an email to approve/deny the certification, with automatic reminders if no action is taken. Approved requests trigger Acadimiat to issue the certificate and update student records.
Real impact: A nursing education provider reduced certification delays from 14 days to 6 hours by eliminating manual data entry between systems.
2. Premium Content Access Management
New newsletter subscribers requesting whitepapers or webinars trigger approval requests in ApproveThis. Marketing leads review subscriber qualifications (job title, company size) before granting access to gated resources. Approved users automatically receive content links via Acadimiat's notification system.
Real impact: An IT certification body increased lead-to-customer conversion by 23% by ensuring only qualified prospects received advanced training materials.
3. Instructor Assignment Automation
When new courses are created in Acadimiat, ApproveThis initiates multi-step approvals: Curriculum teams verify course content, then HR confirms instructor availability. Conditional routing ensures compliance checks occur in sequence, with real-time status updates visible in both platforms.
Implementation Made Simple
Setting up the integration takes under 30 minutes with Zapier:
- Create a Zapier account (free tier available)
- Choose Acadimiat as your trigger app
- Select ApproveThis as your action app
- Map Acadimiat data fields to your approval template
Pro tip: Use ApproveThis' calculated fields to auto-populate course codes or pricing tiers from Acadimiat data, reducing manual setup.
Why This Integration Stands Out
Unlike basic notification systems, this pairing adds structured governance to Acadimiat operations. Approval thresholds automatically escalate high-priority requests (e.g., enterprise client certifications), while vacation coverage prevents bottlenecks during peak training seasons. Crucially, external approvers like accreditation partners can participate in workflows without requiring Acadimiat licenses - they simply review and approve via email.
Getting Started
Education providers using Acadimiat typically see ROI within 30 days through reduced administrative hours and faster credential processing. To begin:
1. Create your ApproveThis account
2. Connect to Acadimiat via Zapier
3. Clone pre-built templates for common education workflows
For complex implementations, request a custom demo showing how to combine Acadimiat's participant tracking with ApproveThis' multi-level approval chains.
Final Considerations
This integration isn't about replacing human judgment - it's about accelerating it. By handling the logistical heavy lifting between Acadimiat and ApproveThis, educators maintain control over critical decisions while eliminating the delays inherent in manual processes. For institutions managing 100+ monthly certifications or coordinating with external accreditors, the time savings and error reduction quickly compound.
Ready to test the waters? Start with a single workflow: Connect course completions to certification approvals. Once you see how seamless cross-platform automation can be, you'll naturally expand to other use cases. The first step is always the hardest - take it today.
