ApproveThis manages your Teachmore Integration approvals.

Why Approval Automation Matters for Course Creators

Education platforms like Teachmore handle sensitive operations daily: validating course completions, processing paid enrollments, vetting new instructors. Each step requires human oversight, but manual approval processes create bottlenecks that slow growth. Missed enrollments delay student progress. Unreviewed course completions hold up certifications. Unchecked orders risk revenue leaks.

ApproveThis solves this by adding structured decision-making to Teachmore's course delivery engine. Together, they automate verification steps while maintaining human oversight where it matters. Course admins control what gets approved; the integration handles how it gets done.

How Teachmore Benefits from Approval Automation

Teachmore excels at delivering courses through branded apps and websites but wasn't built for complex approval logic. ApproveThis fills this gap by adding:

• Multi-tiered verification: Require department heads, finance teams, or external partners to sign off on critical actions
• Conditional routing: Auto-route high-value orders to senior staff while approving routine requests instantly

For example, continuing education programs often need accreditation body sign-offs on completed courses. With this integration, certificates only issue after both the instructor and accreditor approve via email – no separate logins required.

Real-World Use Cases: Beyond Basic Automations

1. Validating Course Completions (With Audit Trails)

Corporate training teams use Teachmore to upskill employees but need proof of compliance for audits. When a learner completes anti-bribery training:

1. Teachmore triggers ApproveThis via Zapier
2. HR and Legal teams receive approval requests with quiz scores & time-spent data
3. Once both approve, the system updates the employee's certification record

Approvers don't need Teachmore access – they review everything via email. Decline a request? The Zap can automatically notify the learner's manager to schedule retraining.

2. Handling High-Stakes Enrollments

Universities using Teachmore for continuing education programs often require departmental approvals before enrolling non-degree students. When someone applies for a medical coding course:

1. Admissions creates a Teachmore user account (trigger)
2. ApproveThis routes the application to the registrar and department chair
3. Only after both approve does the system enroll the student via Zapier

Bonus: ApproveThis' vacation delegation ensures applications aren't stalled if a dean is traveling.

3. Streamlining Paid Course Approvals

Edtech startups selling $2,000+ certification courses need payment verification before granting access. When an order hits Teachmore:

1. ApproveThis checks if the amount exceeds $1,500 (approval threshold)
2. High-value orders route to finance for payment validation
3. Others auto-approve and grant instant access

This prevents revenue loss from fraudulent purchases while maintaining fast access for legitimate students.

Implementation Guide: Start Smart

Step 1: Create a Zapier account (free tier works for testing)
Step 2: Connect Teachmore and ApproveThis as apps in Zapier
Step 3: Choose your trigger ("New Order" in Teachmore, etc.)
Step 4: Map critical data points:
- Teachmore: User email, course ID, payment amount
- ApproveThis: Approval type, approver emails, escalation rules
Pro Tip: Use ApproveThis' calculated fields to auto-set thresholds based on Teachmore's order data.

Team-Specific Benefits

Academic Departments

Curriculum teams maintain control over who teaches advanced courses. New instructor applications from Teachmore trigger approval chains requiring peer reviews and background checks before system access is granted.

Finance Teams

Automatically flag Teachmore orders that need purchase order validation. ApproveThis routes them to AP clerks with context from CRM systems before processing payments.

Compliance Officers

Receive automated audit trails showing who approved each course completion certificate – with timestamps and comments pulled directly into compliance reports.

Why This Combo Becomes Your Safety Net

Teachmore handles course delivery; ApproveThis enforces governance. Together, they create checks without complexity:

• Forget missed approvals: Automatic reminders nag approvers until resolved
• No more shadow IT: All requests funnel through one system with role-based access
• Scale securely: Add new approval rules as course offerings grow

A vocational school used this integration to cut certification processing time from 14 days to 47 minutes by replacing manual spreadsheets with automated approval chains.
