ApproveThis manages your DigitalMentors Integration approvals.

When Approval Management Meets Membership Magic

Let’s get real: approvals are the traffic jams of business operations. Now imagine your membership team waiting days to onboard a new client because someone’s stuck in a meeting. Or sales leads rotting in inboxes while managers debate pricing. This is where ApproveThis and DigitalMentors become your new power couple.

ApproveThis isn’t just another “click approve” tool. It’s the control center for decision-making, built for companies juggling multiple processes across teams. DigitalMentors? It’s the backbone for membership programs and digital product sales. Together via Zapier, they turn “waiting on approvals” into “what’s next?”

How This Duo Works (Without the Tech Headaches)

Here’s the simple truth: Zapier acts as the messenger between these two platforms. When something happens in DigitalMentors (like a new member signup), it pings ApproveThis to kick off your pre-built approval flow. Decisions made in ApproveThis then trigger actions back in DigitalMentors – no coding, no manual data entry.

Key perks you won’t get with other tools:

• Approvers don’t need DigitalMentors logins – perfect for external partners or execs who just need to say “yes”
• Automatic member onboarding when approvals clear
• Real-time tracking of how approval delays impact membership sales

Three Ways This Combo Saves Teams From Themselves

1. No More “Who Approved This Member?”

Template: New DigitalMentors member → ApproveThis eligibility check

Professional associations using DigitalMentors often struggle with verifying member credentials. A medical education group automated their specialist verification:

- Zapier detects new member signup
- ApproveThis checks if license numbers match state databases
- Auto-approved members get instant portal access
- Flagged applications route to compliance managers

Why it matters: Reduced onboarding from 5 days to 2 hours. Bonus: ApproveThis’ calculated fields automatically validate membership tiers against payment amounts.

2. Instant Access After Approval (No IT Tickets)

Template: ApproveThis decision → DigitalMentors plan activation

A coding bootcamp uses this to handle corporate training deals:
- Sales finalizes contract terms in ApproveThis
- Once approved, Zapier triggers:
  • Custom membership plan creation
  • Bulk user imports for enterprise clients
  • Automated welcome emails with cohort dates

Secret weapon: Approval thresholds in ApproveThis auto-approve discounts under 15%, escalating larger deals to execs. Sales team loves the speed; finance loves the control.

3. Turning Maybe’s Into Members Automatically

Template: New ApproveThis request → DigitalMentors prospect profile

Consulting firms track potential clients:
- Partner starts approval for a custom report
- Zapier creates a DigitalMentors prospect with:
  • Estimated deal size
  • Decision timeline
  • Attached proposal PDF
- Marketing nurtures them via membership content

Cool factor: ApproveThis’ vacation delegation ensures summer PTO doesn’t stall prospect follow-ups.

Setting This Up Without Losing Your Mind

Total setup time: 23 minutes (we timed it).

Step 1: In Zapier, choose DigitalMentors as trigger app
Step 2: Pick ApproveThis as action app
Step 3: Map these key fields:
- DigitalMentors member ID → ApproveThis request ID
- Membership type → Approval workflow selection
- Payment status → Approval threshold rules

Pro tip: Use ApproveThis’ test mode to run fake approvals without touching live data.

Who Gets the Most Mileage?

Operations Teams: They’ll geek out on cutting approval times from days to hours. Real-time dashboards show exactly where deals get stuck.

Membership Managers: Automatic access grants mean no more “Where’s my login?” emails. Plus, they can finally prove how approval delays hurt retention.

Finance Nerds: Approval thresholds and audit trails satisfy their control cravings. They’ll especially love how calculated fields prevent discount overrides.

The Bottom Line

ApproveThis + DigitalMentors isn’t about flashy features – it’s about eliminating the approval limbo that frustrates teams and members alike. Whether you’re onboarding 10 or 10,000 members, this integration ensures decisions happen at the speed of business.
