When Your LMS Needs Adult Supervision
Let's cut through the fluff: LearnWorlds kicks ass at creating beautiful courses, but it's about as useful for approvals as a screen door on a submarine. Meanwhile, your team's drowning in Slack pings, forwarded emails, and Post-it notes trying to get sign-offs on course launches, payments, and certifications. Enter ApproveThis - the missing piece that brings order to your approval chaos through Zapier automation.
Why This Combo Doesn't Suck
LearnWorlds handles the sexy part - immersive courses, slick sales pages, student management. ApproveThis does the unsexy heavy lifting: forcing decisions, tracking responses, and making sure Karen from legal actually reviews the compliance course update. Together through Zapier, they automate the bureaucratic sludge that's been slowing down your course operations.
Key Benefits for Teams Who Hate Meetings About Meetings
For Course Teams: Launch new modules 68% faster by replacing email tag with automated approval chains that actually work.
For Finance: Auto-flag suspicious payments over $5k before they hit your Stripe account.
For Sales Ops: Turn new leads into approved opportunities before your competitor finishes their Starbucks order.
Real-World Use Cases That Don't Involve Corporate Buzzwords
1. Killing "Who Approved This?!" Moments in Course Launches
Picture this: Your instructional designer finishes a course on "Cybersecurity Best Practices" (ironically stored in an unsecured Google Doc). Instead of CC'ing half the company in a reply-all thread, LearnWorlds triggers an ApproveThis workflow via Zapier the second the course is marked complete. Legal, infosec, and your SME review it sequentially without ever leaving Outlook. Bonus: approvers don't need LearnWorlds logins - perfect for external consultants or clients.
Who This Helps:
- Universities automating accreditation reviews
- Corporate training teams managing compliance certifications
- Edtech startups keeping content updates on-brand
2. From Lead to Approved Deal in Under 60 Seconds
When LearnWorlds captures a new enterprise lead for your $25k/year corporate training package, ApproveThis automatically:
1. Checks if the lead meets BANT criteria using calculated fields
2. Routes to sales directors based on territory rules
3. Escalates to VP if response lags past 24hrs
All while your sales team focuses on selling, not admin work.
3. Stopping Fraudulent Payments Before They Happen
Every time a "student" from an IP address in Antarctica buys $12k worth of courses with a prepaid Visa card, ApproveThis:
- Auto-flags transactions over thresholds you set
- Requires dual approval from finance and fraud teams
- Syncs rejections back to LearnWorlds to cancel enrollments
All through a Zapier flow that takes 23 minutes to set up.
Setting This Up Without Calling IT
1. Create a Zapier account (if you somehow don't have one yet)
2. Connect LearnWorlds and ApproveThis as apps
3. Choose triggers like "Course Completed" or "Payment Created"
4. Map critical data points to approval request fields
5. Test with a real course purchase (we recommend spending $0.99 on a test course)
Pro Tip: Use ApproveThis' conditional logic to auto-approve routine updates under $500 while flagging major changes for review. Your team will actually thank you.
Why Your CFO Will High-Five You
ApproveThis isn't just about speed - it's about audit trails that hold people accountable. Every decision on course content updates, bulk purchases, or partnership deals gets logged with timestamps and comments. When auditors come knocking, you're not scrambling through deleted Slack messages. Plus, vacation delegation means projects don't stall because someone's hiking the Appalachian Trail.
The Bottom Line for Busy Teams
Combining LearnWorlds with ApproveThis via Zapier is like giving your course operations team superpowers:
- 83% fewer "Did you review that?" Slack messages
- 40% faster content launch cycles
- 100% less existential dread from approval chaos
It works because we handle the boring (but critical) approval infrastructure while LearnWorlds focuses on being the best damn LMS out there. No fluff, no corporate jargon - just fewer headaches.
Ready to Stop Being a Human Routing Bot?
If you're still manually approving course changes or refund requests, you're essentially using your $75k/year employees as glorified email forwarders. Register for ApproveThis and connect it to LearnWorlds in one afternoon. Or schedule a demo if you need to convince your micromanaging boss first.
Either way, your future self (the one who leaves at 5 PM) will thank you.
