ApproveThis manages your Rapiq Integration approvals.

When AI Meets Accountability

Modern businesses face a critical challenge: accelerating decisions without sacrificing control. Rapiq's AI-driven recommendations create efficiency, but without structured approval guardrails, organizations risk inconsistent choices, compliance gaps, and operational delays. This is where ApproveThis transforms potential into results.

By connecting Rapiq's intelligent workflow triggers with ApproveThis's granular approval controls through Zapier, companies gain a decision-making engine that's both agile and auditable. Marketing teams get campaign budgets approved before AI recommendations execute. Procurement departments automate vendor screening escalations. Operations leaders maintain real-time visibility without micromanaging.

Why This Integration Changes the Game

Rapiq excels at processing complex data to suggest next steps - whether flagging high-risk vendor contracts or prioritizing sales leads. ApproveThis adds three layers of strategic value:

• Contextual Governance: Apply approval rules that adapt to Rapiq's AI outputs (e.g., auto-approve purchases under $5K, escalate others to CFO)
• Cross-Team Alignment: Legal reviews Rapiq-identified contract risks directly in ApproveThis without needing Rapiq licenses
• Decision Audits: Map every approved/denied request back to the original Rapiq recommendation for compliance reporting

A pharmaceutical company reduced clinical trial vendor onboarding from 14 days to 48 hours using this integration. Rapiq screened vendors against compliance databases, then ApproveThis automatically routed high-risk candidates to legal and low-risk to department heads - all within the same workflow.

Real-World Impact Across Departments

Procurement & Vendor Management

Rapiq's supplier risk assessments become actionable when paired with ApproveThis's conditional thresholds. Example: A construction firm auto-approves equipment rentals from vendors with Rapiq scores above 85, while sending lower-rated suppliers to senior managers with cost calculation summaries via Calculated Fields.

Marketing Operations

Campaign briefs approved in ApproveThis trigger Rapiq's AI-powered media buying recommendations. When budgets exceed $20K, ApproveThis adds CFO review - all while keeping external agencies in the loop via email-based approvals.

HR & Compliance

Rapiq identifies potential EEOC risks in hiring pipelines. ApproveThis routes these cases to designated compliance officers with full audit trails, using vacation delegation to prevent delays during approver absences.

Building Your Integration

Zapier serves as the bridge between Rapiq's triggers and ApproveThis's actions. Here's how to configure a core workflow:

Step 1: Connect Rapiq to Zapier

Create a Zap triggered by Rapiq's "Confirm & Start Screening" event. This captures critical data points like vendor risk scores or contract terms that will inform approval logic.

Step 2: Map Data to Approval Criteria

Use ApproveThis's Calculated Fields to transform Rapiq outputs into decision variables. Example: Convert Rapiq's 1-100 risk score into a "High/Medium/Low" field that triggers different approval paths.

Step 3: Configure Multi-Stage Approvals

Set conditional rules in ApproveThis based on Rapiq data:

- High-risk vendor? Route to legal + department head

- Under $10K with score >75? Auto-approve

- International suppliers? Add compliance team review

Pro Tip: Use ApproveThis's Approval Thresholds to create tiered financial authority limits that align with Rapiq's risk assessments.

The Hidden Advantage: External Collaboration

ApproveThis eliminates the license cost barrier for external participants. When Rapiq flags a marketing asset for legal review:

• General counsel receives email approval requests without needing Rapiq access
• All comments and decisions sync back to Rapiq via Zapier
• Approval history remains visible in both systems

A consumer goods manufacturer uses this approach for global regulatory approvals. Regional lawyers review product claims in their native language through ApproveThis's interface, while Rapiq maintains the central compliance repository.

Beyond Basic Automation: Strategic Scenarios

Scenario 1: Mergers & Acquisitions Due Diligence

Rapiq analyzes target company contracts, flagging non-standard clauses. ApproveThis routes high-risk documents to specialized M&A attorneys while parallel-tracking standard approvals through junior staff.

Scenario 2: Inventory Restocking

When Rapiq's AI predicts stockouts, ApproveThis triggers vendor PO approvals with dynamic thresholds - higher limits for top-selling items, lower for seasonal products. Real-time dashboards show which approvals are bottlenecking restock timelines.

Scenario 3: Crisis Response

Rapiq detects potential PR risks in social feeds. ApproveThis immediately escalates these to C-suite with predefined response budgets, using sequential approvals to ensure 24/7 coverage across time zones.

Getting Started Guide

Implementation takes under 45 minutes for most teams:

1. Map Critical Decisions

Identify 2-3 Rapiq workflows where delayed approvals cause measurable revenue impact or risk exposure. Start with these high-value scenarios.

2. Design Approval Paths

Use ApproveThis's prebuilt templates for common Rapiq use cases, adapting them to your approval hierarchy.

3. Configure Zapier Logic

Set up triggers for Rapiq's screening completion events, ensuring data like risk scores and monetary values flow into ApproveThis's conditional fields.

4. Test with Live Data

Run 5-10 real requests through the integrated system. Adjust approval thresholds and escalation rules based on actual processing times.

Why Teams Choose This Combination

Early adopters report consistent benefits:

68% Faster Compliance Reviews: Legal teams only see exceptions flagged by Rapiq's AI, not every routine contract.

42% Fewer Approval Errors: Calculated Fields auto-populate risk scores and financial data, reducing manual entry mistakes.

100% Audit Coverage: Every decision links to the originating Rapiq recommendation with timestamped approver comments.

Your Next Move

ApproveThis and Rapiq create a closed-loop system for intelligent decision-making. AI identifies opportunities, structured approvals mitigate risk, and Zapier ensures seamless execution.
