ApproveThis manages your Magnet Integration approvals.

Why This Integration Isn’t Just Another “Nice to Have”

Let’s cut to the chase: if your company uses Magnet for training or education, you’re already juggling course completions, user access, and subscriptions. Add approvals into the mix, and suddenly you’re playing whack-a-mole with spreadsheets, Slack pings, and “Hey, did you see that email?” follow-ups.

ApproveThis flips this script by connecting directly to Magnet via Zapier. Think of it as adding a traffic controller to your learning workflows – approvals get routed automatically, decisions happen faster, and nobody’s left staring at a dashboard wondering where things stuck.

Where Magnet Does Its Thing (And Where ApproveThis Picks Up the Slack)

Magnet’s great at delivering courses and managing users. But when you need decisions made about that content – verifying completions, granting paid subscriptions, updating user roles – things get manual. ApproveThis handles the “people part” Magnet can’t:

• No more approval limbo: Course completion? Cool. But if finance needs to verify it before issuing a certification, that’s where emails get lost.
• External approvers? No problem: Contractors, clients, or execs who don’t have Magnet logins can still approve/reject via email.

Example: A healthcare company uses Magnet for compliance training. But HR can’t grant certifications until managers confirm employees actually applied the training. With ApproveThis, completions trigger approval requests to managers, who sign off directly from their inbox. Certifications auto-issue upon approval. No logins, no delays.

Three Ways This Combo Saves Actual Time (Not Hypothetical “Efficiency”)

1. Automate Post-Course Quality Checks (Because Completion ≠ Mastery)

The Problem: Someone finishes a Magnet course. Now what? If your process requires a manager’s sign-off (e.g., safety training in manufacturing), you’re stuck manually tracking who’s done what.

The Fix: Zapier triggers an ApproveThis request the second Magnet marks a course complete. Approvers get an email with key data (quiz scores, time spent) and a one-click approve/deny. Denied? The request pings the employee’s manager with next steps.

Real-World Impact: A tech company reduced certification delays from 2 weeks to 48 hours by automating safety training approvals. Their EHS team stopped playing detective across spreadsheets.

2. Sync User Permissions Without the Manual Grind

The Problem: New hires need Magnet access, but only after department heads approve their training track. IT ends up as middlemen, manually updating permissions.

The Fix: New ApproveThis requests (e.g., “Request Access to Leadership Training”) auto-create users in Magnet after approval. Or, denied requests trigger alerts to HR to revisit training needs.

Real-World Impact: A university sped up student onboarding by 70% by linking course access approvals in ApproveThis to Magnet enrollments. Advisors approve paths, students get instant access.

3. Handle Paid Subscriptions Without Chasing Down Cards

The Problem: Sales teams love offering free Magnet trials… until it’s time to convert them. Finance needs card details, managers need to approve discounts, and everyone hates the back-and-forth.

The Fix: Trial ending? Trigger an ApproveThis request with payment details and proposed terms. Once approved, Zapier creates the paid subscription in Magnet. Denied? The sales rep gets an alert to renegotiate.

Real-World Impact: A SaaS company cut their trial-to-paid cycle from 14 days to 3 by embedding approvals into checkout. Finance finally stopped hating sales.

Setting This Up Isn’t Rocket Science (We Promise)

If you’ve used Zapier before, this’ll take 15 minutes. If not, maybe 30. Here’s the gist:

1. Connect Both Apps to Zapier: Zapier accounts are free to start. Plug in your ApproveThis and Magnet logins.
2. Pick Your Trigger: Most start with “Course Completed in Magnet” or “New Request in ApproveThis.”
3. Map the Data: Tell Zapier which Magnet info (user email, course ID) goes into ApproveThis fields.
4. Add Approvers: Set who needs to approve – individuals, teams, or even external emails.
5. Test with Real Data: Zapier’s test mode lets you fake a course completion to see if the approval pops up.

Pro Tip: Use ApproveThis’s Calculated Fields to auto-flag issues. Example: If a Magnet quiz score is below 80%, the approval request routes to a manager for review instead of auto-approving.

Why Your Teams Will Actually Like This (No, Really)

HR & L&D: Stop Being the Middleman

HR’s tired of forwarding Magnet reports to VPs for sign-off. With ApproveThis, they set the workflow once: course completions → approval chain → auto-certify. They’re suddenly the team that “fixed” compliance audits.

Finance: Control Without Micromanaging

Paid Magnet subscriptions now require approvals before charges hit. Finance sets thresholds (e.g., auto-approve under $500, escalate above). They get visibility without manual reviews.

Operations: Fix Bottlenecks You Didn’t Create

When new hires can’t start training because IT’s backlogged on access requests, ops takes the heat. Auto-create Magnet users post-approval, and suddenly onboarding runs smoother.

The Hidden Benefit Nobody Talks About (But Should)

Most approval tools require everyone to have an account. ApproveThis doesn’t. External clients approving Magnet content? They get an email, click approve/reject, and you’re done. No “Can you reset my password?” calls. No extra licenses. Just decisions happening where they should – in someone’s inbox.

Example: A consulting firm uses Magnet for client training. Clients get ApproveThis emails to sign off on project milestones before unlocking next modules. Zero logins, zero complaints.

This Isn’t Magic – But It’s Close Enough

ApproveThis + Magnet won’t solve every workflow headache. But if you’re tired of approvals dragging out learning initiatives, it’s a stupidly simple fix. You’re already using Zapier for other things. Why not make it handle the bureaucratic sludge too?
