ApproveThis manages your Rise up Integration approvals.

When Learning Meets Lean Approvals

Let’s be real – nothing kills momentum like chasing down signatures for completed training programs or waiting weeks to confirm someone’s actually ready for that new system access. Rise Up handles the learning part slick enough, but what happens after someone finishes a course? That’s where most teams get stuck in CC-all email threads or lost Slack threads.

ApproveThis plugs into Rise Up via Zapier to automate the “Okay, now what?” phase. Think of it like adding guardrails to your learning processes: automatic approval triggers when courses get completed, real-time visibility into who’s greenlighting what, and zero back-and-forth because everything lives in one place.

Why This Combo Works for Mid-Sized Companies

Companies between 50-5k employees hit a sweet spot: enough structure to need real processes, but not enough red tape to move slowly. The Rise Up + ApproveThis integration tackles three specific headaches:

Problem 1: The Compliance Black Hole

HR sends out mandatory harassment training. People complete it...probably. But without a system, you’re either manually checking completion reports (snooze) or assuming everyone’s compliant (risky).

Problem 2: The Access Bottleneck

New sales hire finishes product certification in Rise Up. Now they need CRM access. Except IT doesn’t know they’re done, the sales manager is OOO, and deals stall.

Problem 3: The Audit Nightmare

Come audit time, proving that John in accounting actually approved Lisa’s expense training completion? Good luck finding that email from eight months ago.

ApproveThis adds accountability layers without the paperwork. Every course completion in Rise Up can auto-trigger an approval chain that’s tracked, timestamped, and stored.

Real-World Use Cases That Don’t Suck

This isn’t about checking boxes. It’s about making two tools work harder so your team doesn’t have to.

Use Case: Fast-Tracking Certified Employees

A manufacturing company uses Rise Up for safety training. When a warehouse worker completes their forklift certification:

• Zapier detects the course completion in Rise Up
• ApproveThis auto-creates an approval task for their manager
• Manager approves via email in 2 clicks
• HR system grants facility access same-day

Without this? The worker twiddles thumbs for 3 days while HR hunts down the manager.

Use Case: Client-Facing Certifications

A marketing agency requires all staff to complete client data privacy courses. Using ApproveThis:

• External clients get added as approvers (no Rise Up license needed)
• They receive branded approval emails showing course details
• One-click approval logs client sign-off permanently

This shaves 72 hours off project kickoffs and keeps legal happy.

Setting This Up Without Losing Your Mind

If you can set up a Slack channel, you can handle this. Here’s the playbook:

Step 1: The Rise Up → ApproveThis Handoff

Create a Zap that triggers when someone completes a course in Rise Up. Map these fields to ApproveThis:

Pro tip: Use ApproveThis’ calculated fields to auto-flag courses completed past deadlines or under minimum scores.

Step 2: Approval Logic That Actually Makes Sense

In ApproveThis, set rules like:

“If it’s a safety course, require Plant Manager + HR approval. If it’s software training, just their direct supervisor.”

Step 3: Notifications That People Might Actually Read

Customize approval emails to include:

- Course name & completion date
- Test scores (if applicable)
- Deadline to respond (because urgency works)

Whole setup takes about 15 minutes if your coffee’s strong. Zapier’s interface keeps it drag-and-drop simple.

Department-Specific Wins

HR Teams: Bye-Bye Compliance Anxiety

Automate certification tracking for roles requiring periodic recerts (think healthcare, transportation). ApproveThis can:

- Auto-escalate expired certifications to department heads
- Require multiple sign-offs for high-risk roles
- Generate audit trails with one click

IT Teams: No More Access Tickets

Link software training completions in Rise Up to automatic system access approvals. New hires get permissions faster, and IT stops playing approval middleman.

Operations: Scale Without the Headaches

Multiply locations? ApproveThis’ regional approval groups ensure the right local manager OKs training completions before corporate processes payroll or access.

Why This Beats Manual Approvals

ApproveThis isn’t just another checkbox – it’s the difference between:

Before: Marie in HR spends 3 hours weekly cross-referencing Rise Up reports with Excel sheets to confirm who’s approved for what.

After: Automated requests route to approvers the second courses are done. Dashboard shows real-time status. Audit reports self-generate.

The hidden win? Approvers don’t need to log into Rise Up. Clients, contractors, execs – anyone can approve via email without another login to forget.

Get Moving

If your team’s juggling more than 20 approvals a month, you’re wasting time that could be spent on actual work. The Rise Up + ApproveThis combo works because:

1. It’s specific: Built for the approval chaos that happens after training, not some generic “workflow” tool.
2. It’s accountable: Every decision is tracked, not buried in inboxes.
3. It scales cheap: No per-approver fees. Pay for what you use, not seats.
