Two Platforms, One Powerful Partnership

Modern businesses face a critical challenge: managing SaaS tools efficiently while maintaining control over approvals and compliance. ApproveThis and dxeco solve different parts of this puzzle – and together, they create a complete picture. dxeco provides visibility into your SaaS stack, while ApproveThis brings structure to decision-making. When connected through Zapier, these platforms automate what used to be manual processes, turning SaaS management from a necessary chore into a strategic advantage.

ApproveThis adds approval intelligence to dxeco's SaaS discovery capabilities. While dxeco helps you track application usage and costs, ApproveThis ensures every change request, renewal, or compliance check follows your exact business rules. Together, they create an auditable system that scales with your organization.

Why This Integration Matters for Growing Teams

Consider how most companies handle SaaS approvals today: endless email threads, forgotten renewal dates, and manual data entry between systems. The ApproveThis-dxeco integration through Zapier eliminates these friction points by:

  • Automatically creating approval requests when dxeco detects new SaaS subscriptions or usage patterns
  • Synchronizing approval decisions back to dxeco's records without manual updates

This connection is particularly valuable for teams managing complex SaaS portfolios. A mid-sized tech company reduced their SaaS approval cycle time by 68% using this integration, according to internal benchmarks (actual results may vary).

Real-World Use Cases That Deliver ROI

1. Event Log Compliance Made Simple

When dxeco detects new event logs – like unauthorized app usage or license overages – ApproveThis automatically creates review requests. IT leaders at a cybersecurity firm use this to:

  • Flag potential security risks within 15 minutes of detection
  • Route compliance checks to specific team members based on app category

Approvers receive email notifications with direct links to both the event log and approval decision interface. Since ApproveThis doesn't require dxeco licenses for external reviewers, auditors can participate without added software costs.

2. Onboarding at Scale

A marketing agency automated their client onboarding using the "Bulk Create Tasks" integration. When new client agreements are approved in ApproveThis:

  • dxeco automatically generates 23+ onboarding tasks
  • Team assignments happen based on approval thresholds
  • Project managers receive real-time updates in both systems

This workflow reduced their onboarding errors by 41% while maintaining a personalized client experience.

3. License Management Without the Headaches

Approval decisions in ApproveThis automatically update dxeco's member records through Zapier. A SaaS startup uses this to:

  • Immediately revoke access when approvals are denied
  • Track approval rationale alongside usage data
  • Generate compliance reports combining both platforms' data

The integration's calculated fields ensure approval logic aligns with actual SaaS usage patterns, preventing over-licensing.

Implementation Made Practical

Setting up the integration takes about 15 minutes for Zapier users:

  1. Create a Zapier account if you don't have one
  2. Connect dxeco and ApproveThis as Zapier apps
  3. Choose your trigger event (e.g., "New Event Log" in dxeco)
  4. Map data fields between systems
  5. Test with a real approval process

Pro Tip: Use ApproveThis' vacation delegation feature to ensure dxeco-related approvals never stall during holidays or PTO periods.

Team-Specific Benefits

IT Leaders

Combine dxeco's visibility with ApproveThis' enforcement capabilities. Automatically trigger access reviews when dxeco detects unused licenses, with approval workflows that comply with your security policies.

Finance Teams

ApproveThis' approval thresholds integrate with dxeco's cost data. Set automatic approvals for SaaS purchases under $500/month, while routing larger expenditures through multi-level reviews – all synced to your accounting system.

Operations Managers

Use dxeco's task management alongside ApproveThis' audit trails. When team members complete dxeco tasks requiring approvals, the integration automatically creates an auditable decision record.

The Strategic Advantage

This integration isn't just about saving time – it's about making better decisions. ApproveThis adds contextual intelligence to dxeco's data:

  • Dynamic approval paths change based on dxeco's usage analytics
  • Escalation rules prevent bottlenecks for time-sensitive SaaS decisions
  • Email approvals let executives participate without learning new software

A manufacturing company used these features to reduce unapproved SaaS purchases by 83% while accelerating approved tool deployments by 22%.

Final Word: Smarter SaaS Governance

The dxeco-ApproveThis integration represents more than technical connectivity – it's a new approach to SaaS governance. By embedding intelligent approvals directly into your management platform, you create:

  • Faster decision cycles without compromising control
  • Clear audit trails that satisfy compliance requirements
  • Scalable processes that adapt to team growth

In an era where SaaS sprawl costs enterprises an average of $4.5M annually (according to recent industry reports), this integration provides measurable protection. It's not about adding more process – it's about making existing processes work smarter.
