ApproveThis manages your Sertifier Integration approvals.

When Digital Credentials Meet Approval Automation

Let's get real - issuing certificates and badges shouldn't require playing email tennis between departments. Sertifier nails the digital credential game, but even the slickest badge designer can't fix approval bottlenecks. That's where ApproveThis comes in. We're talking about automating the "Hey, can you check this?" dance that happens before every campaign launch or badge rollout.

Why This Combo Works for Mid-Sized Companies

Companies between 50-5,000 employees hit a sweet spot: complex enough to need real process controls, but agile enough to hate corporate red tape. Sertifier handles the credential heavy lifting, while ApproveThis handles the decision-making logistics. Together, they let you:

• Stop credential approvals from getting lost between departments
• Maintain compliance without creating approval black holes

Here's the kicker: approvers only need ApproveThis access. No extra Sertifier licenses required for external partners or other teams. That alone saves budget headaches for IT and procurement folks.

Three Ways This Integration Actually Gets Used

1. Campaign Launches That Don't Require Begging

Picture this: Your training team creates a new Sertifier campaign for 500 sales certifications. Instead of Slack-bombing managers, ApproveThis automatically routes it to:

- Legal (check compliance disclaimers)
- Department heads (validate recipient lists)
- Finance (confirm budget allocation)

Real-World Impact: Healthcare compliance teams use this to fast-track staff certification renewals without manual follow-ups. One client cut campaign launch time from 3 weeks to 48 hours.

2. Post-Approval Auto-Launch (No Baby Sitting Required)

When an ApproveThis request gets the green light, Zapier triggers Sertifier to deploy the campaign immediately. No more "Did someone press the launch button?" check-ins. Bonus: Automatic denials trigger review tasks in tools like Jira or ServiceNow through other Zapier connections.

3. Badge Designs That Don't Die in Committee

Marketing teams love creating slick badge designs in Sertifier. Procurement loves controlling brand assets. This integration lets both win:

New badge designs → Auto-approval request → Stakeholders vote → Approved designs get locked into Sertifier's template library. No more version control nightmares.

Setup That Doesn't Require an IT Ticket

If you can make a Zapier account, you can connect these tools. Here's the play-by-play:

Step 1: In Zapier, choose Sertifier's "New Campaign" trigger
Step 2: Map campaign details to ApproveThis' "Create Request" action
Step 3: Set approval rules (thresholds, groups, etc.) in ApproveThis
Pro Tip: Use ApproveThis' calculated fields to auto-approve campaigns under $5K or with pre-vetted templates.

Who Actually Benefits (Beyond the Obvious)

HR & L&D Teams

Certification programs that used to require 7 approval touchpoints now run on autopilot. Vacation delegation in ApproveThis means no approvals stall when managers are OOO.

Partner Management

External vendors can submit badge designs through Sertifier without getting access to your full system. ApproveThis handles external approver authentication cleanly.

Compliance Officers

Every approved/denied decision is auditable in ApproveThis' dashboard. Combine with Sertifier's verification logs for airtight compliance reporting.

The Unspoken Advantage: Killing Shadow Approvals

Let's be honest - when approvals get messy, people work around the system. This integration keeps everything above board without slowing things down. Approval thresholds mean small stuff auto-approves, while big decisions get proper scrutiny. Real-time tracking means no more "I thought Bob was handling it" moments.

When to Consider This Combo

If any of these sound familiar:
• "We've had credentialing errors because someone skipped an approval step"
• "Our campaign launches get delayed waiting for sign-offs"
• "We're using shared inboxes for approvals and things get lost"

That's your cue. The integration works best for companies already using Sertifier who need better process control, not companies looking for a credentialing solution itself.

Bottom Line

ApproveThis isn't just another layer of bureaucracy - it's the control tower for Sertifier operations. By handling the approval logistics, it lets Sertifier do what it does best: issue credentials that actually mean something.

Next Steps for Non-Cringey Automation

If you're rolling your eyes at another "transformative synergy", try this instead:
1. Book a 12-minute demo showing your specific use case
2. Pilot one approval workflow (campaigns work well)
3. Expand to other processes once the team stops complaining about approvals

No corporate buzzwords. Just fewer approval-related headaches.
