How ApproveThis + SuperPath Cuts Approval Chaos for Growing Teams

When Learning Meets Decision-Making

Let’s be real – most companies aren’t lacking tools. They’re drowning in them. SuperPath builds killer learning pathways. ApproveThis slays approval bottlenecks. But together? They turn two “nice-to-haves” into a “holy crap, why didn’t we do this sooner?” moment for teams tired of chasing signatures and second-guessing compliance.

Why This Combo Works (Besides Saving Your Sanity)

SuperPath’s all about scaling knowledge. But scaling decisions around that knowledge? That’s where things get sticky. ApproveThis plugs directly into SuperPath via Zapier to automate the “Should we publish this?” “Who needs to review this training module?” and “Is this learner feedback legit?” decisions. No more approval requests getting lost between Slack, email, and that one project manager’s vacation auto-reply.

For Teams That Hate Micromanagement (But Love Control)

Here’s the kicker: ApproveThis doesn’t require approvers to have SuperPath logins. External clients reviewing course content? Contractors approving compliance docs? They click an email, review the context ApproveThis pulls from SuperPath, and done. No license juggling, no “Can you reset my password?” tickets.

Real-World Use Cases That Don’t Suck

1. Keeping Learning Content On-Brand (Without the Drama)

Imagine your HR team launches a new DEI course in SuperPath. Legal needs to vet it, but your compliance officer’s swamped. With the integration:

• SuperPath triggers an ApproveThis workflow when new content is submitted
• Legal gets an email with key excerpts + approval link
• Approval status auto-updates in SuperPath – publish or revise

Who this helps: Healthcare orgs approving patient training materials, tech companies keeping product certifications up-to-date.

2. Closing the Feedback Loop (Without the Endless Meetings)

Learners drop comments in SuperPath – some gold, some… not so much. Instead of your L&D team playing comment cop:

• New SuperPath comments trigger approval requests
• Moderators approve/reject directly from inbox
• Approved comments post instantly; rejected ones flag for follow-up

Who this helps: Universities managing student discussions, enterprises maintaining compliance in internal forums.

3. Automating Access Without the Security Nightmares

New hire completes onboarding in SuperPath? Their manager gets an auto-approval request for system access. Once approved:

• ApproveThis pushes status back to SuperPath
• HRIS permissions update automatically
• IT never has to chase down “Did you approve this?” emails

Who this helps: Financial services firms managing compliance training, retailers scaling seasonal hiring.

Setting This Up Without Losing Your Mind

Zapier’s the glue here. If you can order a pizza online, you can handle this:

1. Connect SuperPath + ApproveThis in Zapier (takes 2 minutes)
2. Pick your trigger – new content, comments, form responses in SuperPath
3. Map key data (course IDs, user emails) to ApproveThis fields
4. Test with a real request – try approving your lunch order as a dry run

Pro tip: Use ApproveThis’ calculated fields to auto-approve low-risk items (e.g., comments under 50 characters) and only escalate the big stuff.

Why Your CFO Won’t Hate This

ApproveThis doesn’t charge per approver. SuperPath users stay in SuperPath. Translation? No budget fights over who “needs” access. Sales teams can approve partner training materials without needing full SuperPath seats. Auditors can review compliance docs without you buying licenses they’ll use twice a year.

For Teams Who’d Rather Work Than Push Paper

HR & L&D: Launch courses faster by replacing “Did anyone approve this?” follow-ups with audit trails showing exactly who signed off and when.

Compliance: Attach regulatory checklists directly to approval requests. Approvers see exactly what standards apply – no guessing games.

IT: Auto-escalate access requests past slack managers using approval thresholds. If Jane from Marketing doesn’t approve her intern’s request in 48hrs, it bumps to her director automatically.

The Bottom Line (Because TL;DR Exists)

ApproveThis + SuperPath via Zapier is for companies that:

• Need fewer meetings about approvals
• Have external partners or clients in their review processes
• Are tired of “Wait, was this approved?” risks

It’s not magic – it’s just workflow automation that doesn’t treat approvals like an afterthought.

Next Steps (If You’re Into Efficiency and Stuff)

Register for ApproveThis, hook it up to SuperPath via Zapier, and stop herding approval cats. Or book a demo to see how conditional approvals can cut your review cycles by hours each week.

Either way, your future self (the one not stuck in CC loops) says thanks.
