When Bureaucracy Meets Automation
Let's be real: education businesses aren't in the business of paperwork. Yet here you are - managing class schedules, chasing down payment approvals, and herding cats (sometimes literally) to get sign-offs on new student enrollments. This is where ApproveThis and Teach 'n Go become your new favorite teacher's pets.
When you connect these two through Zapier, you're essentially building guardrails for your approval processes without the red tape. Think automatic class creation approvals that don't require 3 separate Slack pings, or payment verifications that happen faster than a kid raising their hand to ask "But why?"
Why This Combo Doesn't Suck
Teach 'n Go handles the operational grind - scheduling, payments, student records. ApproveThis handles the decision-making bureaucracy. Together through Zapier, they:
- Cut approval delays from days to hours
- Eliminate "I thought YOU approved that!" scenarios
The kicker? Approvers don't need a Teach 'n Go license. Perfect for board members who only need to approve budgets, or external partners reviewing class proposals. No more paying for seats that'll collect digital dust.
Real World Wins for Education Teams
1. Class Creation Without Committee Meetings
Scenario: Your coding bootcamp uses Teach 'n Go to manage courses. Every new class proposal needs director approval for scheduling and resource allocation.
The Fix: Zapier auto-creates ApproveThis requests whenever a new class pops up in Teach 'n Go. Directors approve via email while commuting. Approved? The class goes live instantly. Denied? Teacher gets automated feedback.
Who Benefits: Language schools rolling out new immersion programs, vocational trainers expanding course catalogs.
2. Student Onboarding That Doesn't Make You Want to Quit
Scenario: Your music academy requires background checks for new instructors. Each approved hire needs their students added to Teach 'n Go.
The Fix: Approved staff requests in ApproveThis auto-create student profiles. Bonus: Use calculated fields to ensure class sizes don't exceed fire marshal limits.
Who Benefits: Tutoring centers, after-school programs with strict student-teacher ratios.
3. Payment Approvals That Actually Happen Before the Field Trip
Scenario: Your STEM camp needs multiple approvals for vendor payments over $2k. Currently tracked through 12 different spreadsheets.
The Fix: Zapier triggers ApproveThis requests for every Teach 'n Go payment entry. Approval thresholds auto-approve small expenses, escalate big ones. All logged with timestamps for audit trails.
Who Benefits: Nonprofits with grant restrictions, franchises managing multiple locations.
4. Prospect Management That Doesn't Leak Leads
Scenario: Your adult education center gets course inquiries that need program director review before follow-up.
The Fix: New ApproveThis requests (think "Spanish 101 Waitlist") auto-create Teach 'n Go prospects. Approval groups ensure the right subject matter expert reviews each lead.
Who Benefits: Continuing education programs, corporate training departments.
Setting This Up Without Losing Your Mind
1. Pick Your Pain Point: Start with one process that currently uses the phrase "I'll just approve it this once."
2. Build Your Zap: Connect Teach 'n Go triggers to ApproveThis actions in Zapier - about 15 minutes if you've ever used a toaster.
3. Test Drive: Run a fake class proposal through. If it works, pop the champagne. If not, tweak field mappings.
Pro Tip: Use ApproveThis' vacation delegation so summer break doesn't bottleneck approvals.
Why This Isn't Just Another Integration
While other tools force you to build approval logic from scratch, ApproveThis brings pre-baked features that actually match how education ops work:
Approval Thresholds: Auto-approve routine supply orders under $500, flag unusual facility rental deposits.
Calculated Fields: Automatically check if new classes exceed room capacities based on student enrollment numbers.
Real-Time Tracking: See which scholarship applications are stuck in limbo, then nudge specific approvers.
Teams That Stop Hating Mondays
Program Directors
Finally get visibility into class proposal status without micromanaging. Set conditional rules so only courses exceeding capacity need their eyes.
Finance Teams
Stop playing detective with unauthorized purchases. Payment approvals get enforced before funds leave accounts.
Admissions Staff
Stop losing prospects in email threads. Approval-based lead routing ensures qualified inquiries get fast-tracked.
Bottom Line
If your education business still runs approvals through email chains or "Hey, quick question..." Slack messages, you're not just inefficient - you're risking compliance issues and missed opportunities.
ApproveThis + Teach 'n Go through Zapier isn't about flashy tech. It's about making sure the 37 approval processes required to run a modern education business don't collapse under their own weight.
