ApproveThis manages your Alchemy Integration approvals.
April 17, 2025
Integration Category: Developer Tools
Let's cut to the chase: blockchain development moves at light speed, but corporate approval processes still crawl like 1999 dial-up. That disconnect costs dev teams real money in delayed deployments and missed opportunities. Here's how combining ApproveThis' approval automation with Alchemy's web3 infrastructure turns bureaucratic sludge into competitive advantage.
Why This Combo Works
Alchemy gives devs the tools to build killer dApps. ApproveThis gives operations teams the control to keep those projects compliant. Together through Zapier, they create guardrails that accelerate development instead of slowing it down. We're talking about:
- Auto-approving routine queries that meet predefined criteria
- Flagging high-risk transactions for human review
- Audit trails that satisfy both engineers and compliance officers
The Niche You Didn't Know You Needed
Most web3 teams handle approvals through Slack pings or Jira tickets that get buried. Alchemy's GraphQL webhooks paired with ApproveThis creates an actual system of record for development decisions. When a new query triggers via Alchemy's custom webhooks:
- ApproveThis automatically generates an approval ticket
- Routes it to the right dev lead/legal/compliance stakeholder
- Locks in approvals with audit trails before code executes
Who Actually Needs This?
Blockchain startups: You're deploying 10x faster than the competition. Prove you're not cutting corners by automating compliance checks on every major query.
Enterprise web3 teams: Your infosec team needs sleep too. Set approval thresholds that auto-approve routine dev work while flagging unusual transactions.
dApp developers: Client wants proof their smart contract changes got proper review? Bake ApproveThis audit trails right into your delivery process.
The Setup That Takes 15 Minutes
1. Create a Zapier account if you don't have one
2. Connect Alchemy as trigger source for "GraphQL Webhook Notification"
3. Set ApproveThis as action app with "Create Request" template
4. Map Alchemy's webhook data to ApproveThis fields
5. Test with a non-critical query
What This Fixes That Manual Approvals Don't
Ever had a critical deployment delayed because the CTO was on vacation and forgot to delegate approval authority? ApproveThis handles that with vacation delegation. Need to adjust approval thresholds as your transaction volumes grow? Update once in the dashboard instead of rewriting your entire process.
Bonus Points for Distributed Teams
ApproveThis approvers don't need Alchemy logins. Critical for:
- External auditors reviewing high-value transactions
- Client stakeholders approving milestone work
- Cross-department approvals (e.g., legal + engineering)
When to Keep It Simple
This integration isn't for every query. Smart teams use it for:
- Smart contract modifications
- High-value token transactions
- New wallet authorization protocols
- Any change that impacts compliance status
Real Impact for Real Teams
A DeFi startup reduced deployment delays by 68% by auto-approving routine queries under $50K while routing larger transactions to specific approvers. Their ops lead said it best: "We finally have approval processes that match our dev speed."
Why This Isn't Just Another Integration
ApproveThis adds three things most approval tools miss for web3:
1. Calculated fields that auto-flag transactions exceeding risk thresholds
2. Conditional logic to route approvals based on query type
3. Email approvals that work for non-technical stakeholders
Common Objections (And Why They're Wrong)
"We're too small to need this"
How many hours did your team waste last month chasing approvals? At 50 employees, those 15-minute delays add up to $18K+/year in lost productivity.
"Our process is too custom"
ApproveThis handles multi-chain approvals where different signers are needed for Ethereum vs. Solana transactions. Your edge case probably isn't edgy enough.
Where This Gets Interesting
Pair ApproveThis' calculated fields with Alchemy's analytics to auto-approve queries from trusted sources while scrutinizing new wallets. Set dynamic thresholds that adjust based on real-time gas fees. Automatically escalate approvals when transaction volumes spike beyond normal patterns.
The Bottom Line
Web3 doesn't have to mean choosing between speed and compliance. By connecting Alchemy's infrastructure to ApproveThis' approval automation through Zapier, you're building an org that can move fast and pass audits.
ApproveThis isn't another layer of bureaucracy - it's the air traffic control system your high-speed development team actually needs. Set it up once and your ops team stops being the bottleneck.
