ApproveThis manages your Fettle Integration approvals.

Why Approval Workflows Matter in Fitness Tech

Fettle has become essential for fitness studios, yoga instructors, and wellness coaches moving their services online. But scaling a digital membership business introduces new challenges: vetting instructors, approving premium content releases, managing tiered subscriptions, and handling refund requests. This is where ApproveThis becomes Fettle's perfect partner – bringing military-grade approval automation to human-centric businesses.

The Integration Advantage

When connected via Zapier, ApproveThis acts as Fettle's decision-making layer. Imagine automatically triggering approval processes whenever specific events occur in Fettle – new user signups, subscription upgrades, or live-stream scheduling requests. Approvers can review details directly in their email (no app login required), while business owners maintain full visibility through ApproveThis' tracking dashboard.

Key Benefits for Fitness Businesses

For Boutique Studios: Automatically flag high-risk signups (international credit cards, bulk purchases) for manual review before granting Fettle access. ApproveThis' calculated fields can assess risk scores based on location, purchase history, or device type.

For Wellness Coaches: Route new client onboarding questionnaires through multi-step approvals – nutritionist review, liability waiver confirmation, payment plan validation – all before activating Fettle memberships.

For Fitness Influencers: Use approval thresholds to auto-approve basic subscription tiers while flagging premium package purchases (1:1 coaching, annual plans) for manual verification.

Critical Features You'll Actually Use

Vacation Coverage: Studio owners traveling to fitness expos can auto-delegate approvals to assistant managers.
