ApproveThis manages your Teachfloor Integration approvals.

When Course Management Meets Approval Muscle

Let’s get real: managing online courses is messy enough without adding approval bottlenecks into the mix. Between verifying completions, assigning support staff, and tracking certifications, most teams are one missed email away from total chaos. That’s where slapping ApproveThis onto Teachfloor’s course platform starts to look like a power move.

ApproveThis isn’t just another checkbox tool. It’s built for companies juggling multiple approval layers across departments. Pair it with Teachfloor’s cohort-based course engine through Zapier, and you’re looking at automated workflows that handle the administrative heavy lifting so your team can focus on actual education.

Why This Combo Works (Besides Saving Your Sanity)

Teachfloor handles the live class scheduling and student interactions. ApproveThis handles the gatekeeping. Together through Zapier, they automate three critical pain points:

• Quality Control: Auto-trigger course completion reviews before issuing certifications
• Resource Allocation: Instantly assign teaching assistants when new approval requests surface

Example: A mid-sized cybersecurity training company uses this integration to automatically flag completed courses for instructor review. Approvers get email notifications with direct approve/reject links – no logging into Teachfloor required. Approved? The system auto-generates certificates. Denied? The student gets a personalized resubmission checklist.

Use Case 1: Certifications That Don’t Require Babysitting

The Problem: Your HR team needs to verify 300 sales trainees completed their anti-bribery course. Your legal team insists on reviewing each completion. Email chains ensue.

The Fix: Zapier triggers an ApproveThis request whenever someone finishes the Teachfloor course. Legal gets an email with the participant’s quiz scores and time spent. They click “Approve” – certificate generated. “Deny” – automated follow-up sent.

Who Cares: Corporate training departments scaling compliance programs. EdTech startups needing audit trails for accreditation.

Use Case 2: No More Musical Chairs With Teaching Assistants

The Reality: A new course approval request hits your team. Now someone needs to manually assign a TA in Teachfloor, update the roster, and notify the student. Cue the spreadsheet tango.

The Automation: New ApproveThis request = auto-assign TA based on workload. Teachfloor updates in real-time. Students get a welcome message from their assigned assistant before they even finish their coffee.

Perfect For: Coding bootcamps managing TA rotations. Enterprise L&D teams coordinating internal subject matter experts.

Use Case 3: Tag, You’re It (But Actually Organized)

The Headache: Marketing just approved 47 participants for the advanced SEO course. Now someone needs to manually tag them in Teachfloor, grant course access, and add to the newsletter list. Spoiler: This gets half-done.

The Hack: When an ApproveThis request gets approved, Zapier slaps a “Certified SEO Strategist” tag on their Teachfloor profile. Bonus: Auto-enroll them in the next course tier or trigger a Salesforce update.

Who Wins: Certification bodies tracking CE credits. SaaS companies managing customer education tiers.

ApproveThis Features Your Teachfloor Team Will Steal

Approval Thresholds: Auto-approve course completions with 90%+ scores? Set it once. Let the system handle the rest.
Vacation Delegation: Your lead instructor takes PTO? Approval authority automatically shifts to their deputy.
Calculated Fields: Combine Teachfloor’s quiz scores with attendance data to auto-approve/reject based on custom formulas.

Setting This Up Without Losing Your Mind

1. Create a Zapier account (free tier works)
2. Pick your trigger: “Course Completed” in Teachfloor or “New Request” in ApproveThis
3. Map the key data points: Participant email, course ID, scores
4. Test with 2-3 real approvals
5. Let it rip

Pro Tip: Use ApproveThis’ calculated fields to auto-approve routine requests. Save manual reviews for edge cases.

Department-Specific Wins

HR & Compliance Teams: Automatically archive approved certifications with zero data entry. Denied requests? They get auto-added to remediation lists in Teachfloor.
Course Operations: See real-time approval rates in ApproveThis dashboards. Spot bottleneck courses needing curriculum tweaks.
Finance: Auto-approve enrollments under $500. Require VP sign-off for pricier executive programs.

The Bottom Line

This integration isn’t about replacing Teachfloor’s course management – it’s about surgically attaching approval logic where it actually matters. No more missed sign-offs. No more “I thought YOU approved that.” Just auditable decisions that keep courses moving forward.

ApproveThis doesn’t require your approvers to have Teachfloor seats. External auditors, client stakeholders, or department leads can review requests via email without cluttering your Teachfloor license count.

Get started with ApproveThis, connect your Teachfloor account via Zapier, and start automating approvals in under an hour. Or schedule a demo to see how other training teams killed their approval bottlenecks.
