Veriff Integration

ApproveThis manages your Veriff Integration approvals.

Integration Category: Security Identity

Let’s get real: approvals suck. They’re the traffic jam in your workflow highway. But what if you could automate the grunt work of verifying identities and getting sign-offs – without playing email tag with six departments? That’s where ApproveThis and Veriff come in. One handles the paperwork, the other handles the “are you even real?” checks. Together, they’re like the bouncer and the manager at your business’s VIP door.

Why This Combo Works (Besides Saving Your Sanity)

Veriff’s the muscle – it verifies IDs faster than a bartender checks fakes. ApproveThis is the organizer – it routes decisions to the right people, chases slackers, and keeps records. Connect them through Zapier, and you’ve got a system where identity checks and approvals happen in the background while you focus on actual work.

For the Skeptics in the Back

Yeah, you’ve heard “automation” promises before. But here’s the thing: this isn’t about replacing humans. It’s about stopping these two scenarios:

  • The Compliance Nightmare: Sales approves a client, then later finds out Legal never vetted their ID
  • The Bottleneck Blues: HR can’t onboard new hires because Susan from Accounting’s on vacation

The fix? Make Veriff’s verification the starting pistol for ApproveThis’s approval races.

Real Uses for Real Companies (No Fluff)

Use Case 1: The Compliance Shield

What happens: Veriff confirms a user’s ID → Zapier pings ApproveThis → Approval request fires off to Legal/Compliance

Who needs this: Fintechs doing KYC checks, healthcare providers verifying patient identities, any company tired of audit surprises.

Why it’s slick: Approvers get all verification data upfront. No back-and-forth. Plus, ApproveThis’s audit trail shows exactly who approved what – with Veriff’s verification as Exhibit A.

Use Case 2: The Onboarding Accelerator

What happens: HR creates an approval request for new hire access → Zapier triggers Veriff to verify the hire’s ID → Access gets auto-approved if clean

Who needs this: Companies scaling remote teams, contractors handling sensitive data, anyone who’s had a “who approved THIS guy?!” moment.

Pro move: Use ApproveThis’s calculated fields to auto-approve low-risk verifications but escalate sketchy ones. Saves Legal from reviewing every single Starbucks barista application.

Use Case 3: The Fraud Forcefield

What happens: Veriff flags suspicious activity → Zapier creates urgent approval request → Security team gets pinged via email/Slack

Who needs this: E-commerce sites seeing chargeback patterns, banks spotting account takeover attempts, basically anyone who likes money staying where it should.

Bonus points: ApproveThis’s vacation delegation means if your fraud analyst is off-duty, requests automatically reroute to their backup. No gaps.

Setting This Up Without Losing a Day

If you can make a sandwich, you can connect these tools:

  1. Grab your Veriff API keys (their docs are decent)
  2. In Zapier, choose a trigger – like “New Verification Decision” in Veriff
  3. Add action – “Create Request” in ApproveThis
  4. Map Veriff’s data (user ID, verification status) to ApproveThis fields
  5. Test with a real verification – approve/deny in ApproveThis, watch what happens

Total time? Maybe 20 minutes if your coffee’s strong. Less if you’ve done a Zapier integration before.

Who Actually Benefits (Besides Your IT Dept)

Compliance Teams

They stop being the “Department of No” and start being the “Department of Here’s Why.” ApproveThis shows every approval reason tied to Veriff’s verification data. Auditors become slightly less annoying.

HR & People Ops

New hires get access faster because verification and approvals happen in parallel. Plus, no more chasing managers for sign-offs – ApproveThis does the nagging via email reminders.

Finance Departments

Set approval thresholds in ApproveThis. Example: Veriff-confirmed vendors under $5k get auto-approved. Over that? Routes to CFO. Fraud risk drops, accountants stop drinking at lunch.

Customer-Facing Teams

Sales can promise faster onboarding because verifications and internal approvals aren’t stuck in limbo. Support gets fewer “why’s this taking so long?” tickets.

The Nuts & Bolts You Care About

License-free approvers: The VP doesn’t need a Veriff login to approve stuff. Huge for external partners or cheap execs.

Real-time tracking: See where every request is stuck. Is Legal sitting on it? Did Veriff flag something? No more status update meetings.

Conditional logic: Automatically route high-risk Veriff results to senior staff, low-risk to junior approvers. Play favorites with rules, not politics.

Bottom Line: This Isn’t Just About Saving Time

It’s about not being the company that leaks data because someone approved a fake LinkedIn profile. Or the one that loses deals because approvals take longer than building the product.

ApproveThis + Veriff via Zapier is your insurance policy against human error and bureaucratic sludge. And unlike most insurance, this one actually prevents fires instead of just covering the damage.
