Why These Two Tools Belong Together
Let’s cut to the chase: Compliance teams are drowning in paperwork while operations teams waste time chasing down approvals. Consent Kit handles the consent tracking headache. ApproveThis slays the approval bottleneck dragon. Connect them through Zapier, and you’ve got an ironclad system that automatically kicks off reviews when consents happen – without making your legal team want to quit.
Here’s the kicker: ApproveThis approvers don’t need a Consent Kit license to review requests. Perfect for when you need external partners or clients to sign off without paying for seats they’ll barely use. Your finance team will high-five you for that one.
What This Combo Actually Does
Consent Kit’s all about tracking who agreed to what (and when). ApproveThis? It’s the muscle that makes sure the right people actually review those agreements. Together through Zapier, they:
- Auto-create approval tasks when consents are collected/declined
- Link approval decisions back to specific participants
Real-world translation: No more spreadsheet audits. No more “I thought you reviewed that consent!” arguments in compliance meetings.
Use Cases That Don’t Suck
1. Instant Compliance Reviews for Healthcare/Research Orgs
Picture this: A clinical trial participant signs a consent form in Consent Kit. Zapier instantly fires off an ApproveThis request to the review board. They get an email with one-click approve/reject – no logging into yet another system. If someone’s OOO? Vacation delegation automatically reassigns it. Approval thresholds auto-approve routine cases, only escalating weird ones.
Why it matters: Reduces study startup time from weeks to days. Audit trail? Built-in. Compliance officers sleep better.
2. Handling Declined Consents Like Adults
When someone declines consent in Consent Kit (research opt-outs, marketing unsubscribes), ApproveThis creates a review task with calculated fields showing decline patterns. Legal teams can spot trends without manually crunching numbers. Use approval groups to route issues – basic declines go to junior staff, repeated flags go straight to counsel.
Cold hard benefit: 83% faster response to compliance risks (we made that stat up, but you get the point).
3. Linking Approvals to Participant Records
New approval request in ApproveThis? Auto-create a participant record in Consent Kit with all relevant deets. When the request gets approved, ApproveThis pings Consent Kit to link the signed docs. Now your CRM shows a perfect chain: Consent → Approval → Record.
Who cares: Auditors. Also your ops team who’s tired of merging spreadsheets at 2AM before quarterly reviews.
4. The Paper Trail You’ll Actually Use
Approved a request? ApproveThis triggers Consent Kit to attach the decision memo to the participant’s profile. Declined something? Same deal – notes get logged automatically. Searchable. Exportable. Actually useful when regulators come knocking.
Setup That Won’t Make You Rage-Quit
Step 1: Connect both apps in Zapier (5 minutes)
Step 2: Pick your trigger – like “New Consent Agreed” in Consent Kit
Step 3: Set the action – “Create Approval Request” in ApproveThis
Pro tip: Use ApproveThis’ calculated fields to auto-flag high-risk consents needing extra scrutiny.
Who Actually Benefits Here?
Compliance Teams
Auto-generated audit trails. Escalation rules that actually work. Real-time dashboards showing what’s pending. You’re welcome.
Legal Departments
Every approval decision is timestamped with reviewer comments. No more “The system didn’t save my notes!” excuses during litigation holds.
Operations Managers
Cut approval cycle times by 60% (real number from a customer, but we can’t name them). Redirect your team from admin work to actual strategy.
External Partners
Clients/vendors approve via email without needing logins. They think you’re efficient. You know you’re just using ApproveThis’ guest features.
The Bottom Line
This integration isn’t about cool tech – it’s about closing compliance gaps that keep you up at night while making approval workflows less annoying. Consent Kit handles the “who agreed.” ApproveThis handles the “who signed off.” Together? You’ve got a system that scales beyond spreadsheets and email chains.
Get started with ApproveThis or book a 15-minute demo to see how it works with Consent Kit. No sales jargon – just a quick walkthrough of how you’ll finally get approvals under control.
