ApproveThis manages your reteach Integration approvals.

Let’s get real: training programs are chaos. Between onboarding new hires, updating compliance courses, and managing external certifications, approvals pile up faster than unread Slack messages. Enter ApproveThis and Reteach – your new tag team for taming the approval beast. Here’s why mid-sized companies are connecting these tools through Zapier to finally stop playing email tennis with training requests.

Why This Combo Works Like a Swiss Watch

Reteach handles the heavy lifting of course creation and learner management. ApproveThis does one thing brutally well: getting decisions made fast. Together through Zapier, they create closed-loop systems where:

• New courses get reviewed before going live (no more rogue PowerPoints masquerading as "training")
• Customer access gets approved while keeping Reteach records in sync

The kicker? Approvers only need ApproveThis access – no extra Reteach licenses required. Perfect for getting sign-off from external partners or execs who shouldn’t be knee-deep in your LMS.

Four Ways This Integration Saves Actual Hours

1. Course Launch Governance That Doesn’t Suck

Scenario: Your HR team creates a new cybersecurity course in Reteach. With ApproveThis hooked up via Zapier, that course creation automatically:

• Pings the CISO for review
• Routes to Legal if data privacy clauses are mentioned
• Publishes automatically once approved

Real-world win: A 200-person fintech company cut their course review cycles from 11 days to 38 hours by using approval thresholds. Courses under $5k budget auto-approve, anything over routes to CFO.

2. Customer Onboarding Without the Spreadsheet Juggling

When your sales team closes a client needing custom training, ApproveThis handles the intake form > legal review > Reteach provisioning chain. The magic happens in features like:

- Calculated Fields: Automatically flag contracts requiring executive review based on deal size
- Vacation Delegation: Sales approver OOO? Requests auto-reroute to their backup

Case in point: A SaaS company reduced client onboarding errors by 72% by syncing approved customer data directly into Reteach.

3. Compliance Audits You Might Actually Pass

Every time a customer’s training status changes in Reteach, ApproveThis can:

- Require re-approval if certification expiration dates change
- Trigger re-training workflows when industry regulations update
- Maintain immutable approval records for auditors

Bonus: Use approval groups to require consensus from both Compliance and Department heads on high-risk updates.

4. Budget Approvals That Don’t Require Mind Reading

Training budgets are political minefields. Connect Reteach enrollment data to ApproveThis for:

- Automatic spend alerts when departments near limits
- Escalation paths for overages
- Real-time visibility without nagging finance

Pro tip: Add calculated fields to show cost-per-learner upfront in approval requests.

Setting This Up Without Calling IT

Zapier’s the glue here. For the "New Course > Approval" workflow:

1. Trigger: New course created in Reteach
2. Action: ApproveThis creates request with course details
3. Conditions: Route based on course type/budget
4. Post-approval: Publish course OR notify creator

Total setup time? About 15 minutes if you’ve used Zapier before. Yes, really.

Common Objections (And Why They’re BS)

Cool. Now connect them to actually enforce approvals instead of letting tickets rot in backlog.
