ApproveThis manages your Webling Integration approvals.

Let’s Fix Your Approval Bottlenecks

Let’s face it: approvals are the traffic jams of business processes. Someone submits a request. It sits in an inbox. People chase emails. Deadlines get missed. Multiply that by 50 departments, and you’ve got a full-blown organizational gridlock. This is where ApproveThis and Webling come in – like a carpool lane for your membership management.

Webling handles the nuts and bolts of member data, events, and finances. ApproveThis cuts through the chaos of decision-making. Together, they automate the “should we let this person in?” dance that clubs, associations, and mid-sized companies do daily. No more lost requests. No more “I thought YOU approved this!”

Why This Combo Works (Besides Saving Your Sanity)

Most membership platforms make you choose between flexibility and control. Webling’s great at tracking members but wasn’t built to handle complex approval chains. ApproveThis doesn’t care about your industry – it’s a Swiss Army knife for decisions. Connect them through Zapier, and you get:

• Fewer “Who’s Responsible?” Meetings: Auto-route membership requests to the right people based on rules you set
• No License Headaches: Approvers don’t need Webling logins – perfect for boards, clients, or cross-company teams

Example: A regional sports league uses Webling for player registrations but needs board approval for new club members. Their old process? Email chains that took 11 days on average. With ApproveThis, they cut it to 2 days by auto-escalating stalled requests.

Real Uses for Real Teams

Use Case 1: Vetting New Members Like a Pro

The Problem: Nonprofits get ghost applicants. Corporations get vendors trying to sneak in. Everyone gets people who forget to attach required docs.

The Fix: When Webling gets a new member signup, ApproveThis automatically:

• Checks if they completed all fields
• Routes to the membership committee if dues are over $500
• Pings the treasurer if payment info looks sketchy

Who This Helps: Alumni associations needing faculty approval for honorary members. Co-working spaces vetting corporate clients.

Use Case 2: Auto-Enroll Approved Members

The Problem: Approved members stuck in “processing” limbo. Event planners manually copying data between systems.

The Fix: The second ApproveThis gives a thumbs-up, Zapier pushes the member into Webling with:

• Correct membership tier
• Event access permissions
• Auto-generated welcome email triggers

Who This Helps: Trade associations onboarding conference attendees. Fitness clubs syncing class passes with member status.

But Wait – There’s More (Without the Infomercial Cheese)

ApproveThis isn’t just a middleman. It adds layers Webling can’t:

Approval Thresholds: Automatically approve renewals under $250 without human input. Escalate anything over $5k to the CFO.

Vacation Coverage: Board member on safari? Requests auto-reassign so you’re not waiting for satellite internet.

Calculated Fields: Auto-flag applications where age + membership type doesn’t compute (looking at you, 16-year-old “senior” applicants).

Setting This Up Without an IT Degree

If you can set up a Gmail filter, you can do this:

1. Connect Webling and ApproveThis to Zapier (15 minutes max)
2. Pick your trigger: “New Webling Member” or “ApproveThis Approval”
3. Map fields: Name → Name, Dues → Payment Threshold, etc.
4. Test with a fake “member” (We use “Hugh Mann”)

Pro Tip: Start with one workflow – like high-value member approvals – before automating everything. Less panic that way.

Who Actually Benefits? (Spoiler: More Than Just Membership Teams)

Finance Teams

Get automatic flags for members with past-due balances. ApproveThis can hold applications hostage until accounting clears them.

Event Planners

Auto-add approved speakers/vendors to Webling’s event module. No more manually updating five systems.

Compliance Officers

Require legal review for members from high-risk regions. All approvals are logged for audits.

The Part Where We Tell You What to Do Next

If you’re still manually approving memberships, you’re leaving time (and money) on the table. ApproveThis scales whether you’re processing 50 or 5,000 members a month.

Try This:

• Book a 15-minute demo – we’ll show how other associations use it
• Free trial with pre-built Webling templates

No Zapier expert? Their templates make this drag-and-drop simple. Seriously – if you can forward an email, you can set this up.

Common Objections (And Why They’re Wrong)

“We’re too small for this.” Cool. How many hours does your team waste weekly on approval follow-ups? Multiply that by 52. Now look at our pricing.

“Our process is too complex.” Good. We eat complex workflows for breakfast. Conditional approvals? Multi-tiered reviews? Bring it on.

“We’ll set it up later.” Said everyone who ended up firefighting compliance issues. Later is code for “never.”

Bottom Line

Webling keeps your member data tidy. ApproveThis keeps your decision-making from turning into a dumpster fire. Together? They’re the closest thing to an “easy button” for organized growth.

Next step: Pick one approval process that annoys you most. See if we can automate it. (Spoiler: We can.)
