When Risk Meets Speed

Modern businesses face a critical challenge: balancing thorough risk management with operational speed. 6clicks provides the framework to identify and track risks, while ApproveThis delivers the decision-making engine to act on them. Together through Zapier, they create a closed-loop system where risks trigger actions and approvals drive resolutions.

Consider a financial institution managing vendor onboarding. 6clicks flags a compliance gap in a new supplier's documentation. Within minutes, ApproveThis routes the issue to legal, procurement, and infosec teams for review. Conditional approval paths ensure the right eyes see high-risk items first. Final decisions automatically update 6clicks with resolution details – all without manual handoffs.

Why This Integration Changes the Game

Traditional risk management often creates silos between identification and resolution. Teams using 6clicks gain visibility into issues but then face approval bottlenecks via email chains or legacy systems. ApproveThis removes these friction points by:

  • Converting 6clicks alerts into structured approval workflows
  • Applying business rules to prioritize critical items
  • Maintaining full audit trails that sync back to risk registers

A healthcare provider reduced compliance audit prep time by 40% using this integration. Their quality team automatically routes patient safety incidents from 6clicks through multi-level clinical approvals in ApproveThis. Approved mitigation plans sync back as completed actions, while denials trigger new risk assessments.

Real-World Use Cases That Deliver ROI

1. Incident Escalation & Authorization

When 6clicks detects a cybersecurity breach in a retail company's systems, ApproveThis immediately:

  1. Routes containment protocols to the CISO
  2. Secures budget approval for forensic analysis
  3. Triggers customer notification workflows upon final authorization

This automated handoff helped one e-commerce firm reduce incident response time from 72 hours to 9 hours.

2. Cross-Functional Risk Reviews

A manufacturing company links 6clicks risk registers to department-specific approval chains. Safety hazards go to plant managers, financial risks to controllers, and supply chain issues to procurement leads. ApproveThis' calculated fields automatically escalate overdue items based on potential revenue impact.

3. Audit Trail Synchronization

Every approval decision in ApproveThis updates corresponding 6clicks records with:

  • Approver comments
  • Decision timestamps
  • Attached supporting documents

This bidirectional sync proved crucial for a SaaS company during SOC 2 audits, providing end-to-end evidence of risk mitigation processes.

Technical Setup Made Simple

Connecting 6clicks and ApproveThis requires no coding through Zapier. Here's the straightforward process:

  1. Create a Zapier account (if new to the platform)
  2. Choose 6clicks as your trigger app
  3. Select ApproveThis as your action app
  4. Map critical data fields between systems

Most teams complete initial setup in under 20 minutes. The integration works bi-directionally – you can trigger approvals from new 6clicks issues or create 6clicks tickets from approval requests.

Team-Specific Benefits

Compliance Officers

Maintain regulatory alignment by attaching policy documents directly to approval requests. Vacation delegation ensures continuous coverage during audits or peak periods.

Operations Managers

Use approval thresholds to auto-approve low-risk maintenance requests while flagging high-cost capital expenditures for CFO review. Real-time dashboards show approval bottlenecks impacting production timelines.

IT Security Teams

Configure sequential approvals for critical system changes identified in 6clicks. ApproveThis' email-based approvals work seamlessly with existing PagerDuty or ServiceNow integrations.

Key Features That Power the Integration

ApproveThis enhances 6clicks' capabilities through:

Conditional Routing: Send high-severity risks from 6clicks directly to executive approvers while routing routine items to department leads.

Approval Groups: Require consensus from all legal team members when approving regulatory exceptions, but only one approval from engineering for technical debt issues.

Mobile-Friendly: Approvers can review 6clicks risk context and make decisions directly from smartphones, crucial for manufacturing plant managers or traveling executives.

Getting Started

To implement this integration:

  1. Create your free ApproveThis account
  2. Connect to 6clicks via Zapier using the templates provided
  3. Configure your first approval workflow in under 15 minutes

No special licenses required for approvers – external auditors or clients can participate in workflows without 6clicks access. All activity logs automatically sync between systems for complete visibility.

The Bottom Line

Combining 6clicks' risk intelligence with ApproveThis' decision automation creates measurable business impact:

A logistics company reduced risk-related downtime by 62% after implementing the integration. Their team now resolves warehouse safety issues before they escalate, with automated approvals from regional managers and quick resolution tracking in 6clicks.
