When Governance Meets Action
Modern businesses face a critical challenge: maintaining control without sacrificing speed. KeepGood excels at monitoring infrastructure health and operational workflows, while ApproveThis brings structure to decision-making. Together, they create a closed-loop system where approvals trigger actions and outcomes inform future decisions. This integration isn’t about adding bureaucracy – it’s about replacing bottlenecks with precision.
Why This Pairing Works
KeepGood users often manage high-stakes environments where unapproved changes can cause outages. ApproveThis adds guardrails without friction. Consider these complementary strengths:
- KeepGood’s Pulse: Real-time visibility into systems and customer data
- ApproveThis’s Governance: Audit-ready decision trails with conditional logic
The Zapier integration acts as a translation layer between oversight and execution. Approval thresholds in ApproveThis can prevent KeepGood from auto-processing risky actions, while KeepGood’s event data can trigger approval workflows based on actual system states.
Three Real-World Patterns
1. Infrastructure Changes with Accountability
The Problem: IT teams need to deploy urgent patches but can’t risk unauthorized changes.
The Integration: New KeepGood actions (like server reboots) auto-create approval requests with system health snapshots.
ApproveThis Features in Play:
- Calculated fields showing downtime estimates
- Vacation delegation to prevent approval delays
Who Wins: Managed service providers handling SLAs for multiple clients.
2. Customer Onboarding at Scale
The Problem: Sales teams overpromise features that ops can’t deliver.
The Integration: New ApproveThis requests auto-create KeepGood customers, but only after legal/compliance sign-off.
KeepGood Advantage: Prevents incomplete customer profiles from polluting dashboards.
Business Impact: SaaS companies reducing onboarding churn by 22% (internal data).
3. Closed-Loop Incident Management
The Problem: Post-mortems lack context about who approved what.
The Integration: Approved changes in ApproveThis auto-create KeepGood events with approver comments attached.
Critical Feature: Approval thresholds escalate $10k+ changes to CTO automatically.
Use Case: Financial institutions meeting audit requirements without manual logging.
Implementation Made Simple
Zapier serves as the connective tissue between ApproveThis and KeepGood. Setup involves:
- Creating a Zapier account (if needed)
- Choosing a trigger (e.g., "New Action" in KeepGood)
- Mapping key data points to ApproveThis fields
- Testing with low-risk workflows first
Pro Tip: Use ApproveThis’s calculated fields to pull KeepGood metrics like current server load into approval criteria.
Cross-Functional Benefits
IT & DevOps
Prevent unauthorized changes while maintaining mean time to repair (MTTR). Approval groups ensure cloud cost approvals involve both engineering and finance.
Customer Success
Auto-pause KeepGood monitoring during approved maintenance windows. Clients get email approvals without needing KeepGood logins.
Finance
Connect KeepGood’s usage data to approval thresholds for auto-approving routine purchases under $5k.
Compliance
Maintain an immutable record of who approved high-risk actions, with KeepGood event logs as supporting evidence.
The Strategic Edge
This integration transforms approvals from speed bumps into strategic tools. A manufacturing client reduced equipment downtime by routing KeepGood alerts through ApproveThis’s conditional workflows – critical issues went straight to on-call engineers, while routine maintenance awaited manager review.
Getting Started
ApproveThis requires no per-approver licensing for external participants. Your vendors can approve procurement requests via email without accessing KeepGood. Start with a single high-impact workflow:
1. Identify a KeepGood action that’s caused past issues
2. Build an approval layer with escalation rules
3. Measure time saved vs. risks mitigated
