ApproveThis manages your Teachable Integration approvals.

When Course Creation Meets Approval Automation

Let's be real - nobody got into education or coaching to chase down email approvals. But here you are, stuck between Teachable's slick course platform and a messy reality: discount requests piling up, VIP students waiting on access, and internal teams stuck in endless "who's got the final say?" loops. That's where ApproveThis comes in like your favorite TA - handling the grunt work so you can focus on what matters.

Why This Combo Works Like Your Favorite Study Group

Teachable built the best tools for course creators. ApproveThis built the Swiss Army knife of approvals. Together? They turn these common nightmares into solved problems:

• Sales teams offering custom packages without IT building special access rules
• Enterprise clients needing multi-department sign-offs on training purchases
• Course updates stuck in legal review limbo for weeks

Here's the kicker: ApproveThis approvers don't need Teachable logins. External partners, finance teams, legal - they can all review requests right from their inbox. No added software costs, no password resets at 2AM.

Real-World Scenarios That Actually Matter

The Corporate Training Power Move

Imagine Acme Corp needs 500 licenses for your safety certification course. Their procurement team wants bulk pricing, Legal needs contract review, and Acme's L&D lead has final say. With ApproveThis+Teachable:

1. Sales triggers a request with custom pricing tier
2. Legal auto-gets contract terms via Calculated Fields
3. Deal escalates to Acme's director if over $10k (Approval Thresholds)
4. On approval: Seats assigned, invoice sent, cohort enrolled

No more "Who approved this?!" emails. Just a paper trail even auditors would love.

The Membership Gatekeeper

Your $5k/year mastermind group uses Teachable for content. But applicants need vetting. Connect the dots:

- New lead signs up → Approval request auto-creates
- Coaches review application in ApproveThis dashboard
- Denied? Polite auto-email via Teachable
- Approved? Instant access to locked content

Bonus: Use Vacation Delegation so summer hiatus doesn't bottleneck approvals.

Your 3-Step Setup (Seriously, It's That Easy)

1. Zapier account (you probably have one)
2. Pick your triggers:
  - New Teachable user?
  - Course enrollment request?
  - Lead capture form?
3. Choose ApproveThis actions:
  - Auto-route to right approvers
  - Set conditional thresholds
  - Push updates back to Teachable

Pro Tip: Start with one workflow (like discount approvals) before scaling up.

Who Benefits? (Spoiler: Everyone)

Sales & Partnerships

Custom pricing tiers without IT tickets. Enterprise deals with built-in compliance checks. Automatic enrollment the second contracts get signed.

Course Operations

Update locked modules without waiting on 5 managers. Handle TAs or external instructors via Approval Groups. Track all changes in one dashboard.

Corporate Clients Themselves

Their approvers don't get dragged into your systems. Email approvals mean less login friction. Real-time status updates cut support tickets by 60%+.

Why This Isn't Just Another Integration

Most Teachable add-ons handle either marketing or payments. ApproveThis tackles the messy middle - those judgment calls that can't be fully automated but shouldn't require 12 forwarded emails either. Features like Calculated Fields turn custom pricing logic into auto-approved requests below certain thresholds. Approval Groups prevent department turf wars. And everything's auditable - crucial for compliance-heavy industries.

Let's Talk Brass Tacks

Q: "We use SAML logins - still works?"
A: Yep. ApproveThis plays nice with existing auth systems.

Q: "Our approvers change monthly - setup headaches?"
A: Nope. Dynamic Approval Groups auto-update from your HR system.

Q: "Teachable's on Professional plan - any limits?"
A: Zero. All features work across paid tiers.

Ready to Stop Being an Approval Janitor?

Look - you could keep herding cats every time a discount request comes through. Or you could:
1. Grab your ApproveThis trial
2. Connect to Teachable in 15 mins via Zapier
3. Redirect that approval energy into actually growing your courses

Or don't. But your competitors probably will.
