ApproveThis manages your Teachery Integration approvals.

When Course Creation Meets Approval Automation

Let's get real – building online courses in Teachery is smooth until you need human decisions. Publishing timelines stuck waiting for sign-offs. Enrollment requests piling up in someone's inbox. Certificate approvals lost in Slack purgatory. This is where slapping ApproveThis onto your Teachery account through Zapier becomes your secret weapon.

We're talking about turning "Hey, can someone review this?" into automated workflows that actually get shit done. Teachery handles the content creation – you already know that part. ApproveThis handles the bureaucratic sludge that slows down launches, enrollments, and updates. Together? You get courses out faster without herding approval cats.

Why This Combo Doesn't Suck

Teachery's great at what it does – creating courses that don't look like they were designed in 1998. But when you need three people to sign off on pricing changes? Or want to automatically enroll enterprise clients after their manager approves? That's where most teams start drowning in spreadsheets and CC'd emails.

ApproveThis fixes the "decision paralysis" part without making your team learn new tools. Key perks:

• No license headaches: External approvers (clients, partners, that CFO who never logs into anything) can approve/reject via email. They don't need a Teachery seat.
• Deadline enforcement: Automatic reminders so courses don't get stuck waiting for Brenda from Legal
• Paper trails that don't suck: Every approval/rejection is tracked with timestamps and reasons – crucial for compliance audits

Real-World Uses That Aren't Boring

1. Filtering Course Leads Without the Circus

The Problem: Sales teams blasting out free course access to every "interested" lead, bloating your Teachery user list with tire-kickers.

The Fix: Auto-create approval requests when new leads hit Teachery. Route to sales managers who check if leads meet criteria (company size, budget, etc.). Only approved leads get enrollment links.

Who cares: Enterprise training teams selling high-value programs. Universities managing limited scholarship seats.

2. Certifications That Don't Require Nagging

The Problem: Students finish courses but wait weeks for certificates because instructors don't review final projects.

The Fix: Trigger approval workflows when someone completes a Teachery course. Instructors get all submission materials in one place. Approve? Certificate auto-sends. Deny? Feedback goes directly to student.

Who cares: Compliance training providers needing audit trails. Tech bootcamps with hands-on project requirements.

3. Bulk Enrollment Without the Cluster

The Problem: HR wants 200 new hires enrolled in onboarding courses, but needs manager confirmations first.

The Fix: ApproveThis sends managers a single email listing all their team members for approval. Bulk approve/deny with comments. Approved? Zapier dumps them into the right Teachery courses automatically.

Who cares: Corporate L&D teams. Franchise networks onboarding new locations.

Setting This Up Without Losing Your Mind

If you can make a sandwich, you can connect these tools:

1. Grab your ApproveThis and Teachery accounts
2. In Zapier, pick your trigger (new Teachery lead, completed course, etc.)
3. Add ApproveThis actions (create request, check status)
4. Test with real data – try approving yourself

Pro tip: Use ApproveThis' calculated fields to auto-approve repeat customers or discount requests under $500. Saves 40% of manual reviews.

Why Teams Stop Hating Each Other

For Sales Ops:

No more fighting over who approved a demo course access. Set dollar thresholds – deals over $10k require VP approval automatically. All tracked in Salesforce if you want.

For Content Teams:

Course updates require legal + compliance checks? Build a sequential workflow where each department approves in order. Miss a deadline? It escalates up the chain automatically.

For Customer Success:

Client requests course customization? Route to approvers with deal history context. Approved? Zapier updates their Teachery portal instantly.

The Nuts You Might Care About

Approval Groups: Need 3/5 instructors to sign off on curriculum changes? Set it and forget it.

Vacation Mode: Approver OOO? Delegates get auto-assigned so courses don't get stuck.

Conditional Paths: Denied a refund request? Auto-send the "Sorry, here's why" email through Teachery.

Bottom Line

Teachery built the course highway. ApproveThis adds the guardrails and exit ramps so you don't crash. It's not about flashy features – it's about eliminating the "waiting for someone" black holes that make course launches drag on for weeks.

If you've got more than 50 people touching your courses (or clients who act like toddlers with deadlines), this integration pays for itself in reclaimed hours. Not to mention fewer ulcers from chasing approvals.
