ApproveThis manages your Hexometer approvals.

When Speed Meets Structure

Modern businesses face a critical challenge: reacting to website issues fast enough without sacrificing process rigor. Hexometer's real-time monitoring detects problems the moment they emerge - broken links at 2 AM, performance drops during peak traffic, security threats during product launches. But discovery means nothing without decisive action. This is where ApproveThis transforms detection into resolution through structured approval workflows that move at digital speed.

By connecting Hexometer's alerts to ApproveThis' decision automation via Zapier, teams create a closed-loop system for website health management. Critical alerts automatically route to the right stakeholders, approvals happen through email or mobile devices, and resolved tickets feed back into Hexometer's monitoring cycle. The result? Downtime measured in minutes instead of hours, compliance audits that write themselves, and clients who see your team as relentlessly proactive.

How Tech Teams Gain Strategic Advantage

Consider a SaaS company handling 50,000 daily transactions. Hexometer detects a 30% slowdown during their Black Friday sale. With traditional workflows, the alert might:

• Get buried in a developer's inbox
• Require 3 separate Slack approvals
• Wait 4 hours for cloud budget sign-off

The integrated solution auto-creates an approval request with Hexometer's performance graphs attached. ApproveThis:

• Routes it to DevOps Lead > CTO > CFO based on escalation rules
• Triggers SMS alerts after 15 minutes of inactivity
• Auto-approves if 2/3 leads respond "Yes"

What used to take half a workday now resolves before the next hourly sales report. This isn't hypothetical - we've seen e-commerce teams reduce MTTR (Mean Time to Resolution) by 68% using this exact integration.

Two Use Cases That Redefine Responsiveness

1. Alert-to-Action Pipeline

When Hexometer detects a critical issue - say, a failed SSL certificate on a payment page - Zapier instantly creates an ApproveThis request with all diagnostic details. The workflow:

Technical Team Example: A cybersecurity firm uses approval thresholds to auto-escalate threats. Low-risk alerts go to junior analysts, while DDoS attack warnings bypass all queues and notify the SOC manager directly via ApproveThis' mobile app.

2. Task Accountability Loop

Hexometer's scheduled tasks (like weekly crawl audits) become approval-bound action items. After each site crawl, ApproveThis requires team leads to:

Agency Scenario: A digital marketing agency shares task approvals with clients through ApproveThis' guest access. Clients review SEO issue resolutions without needing Hexometer logins, cutting revision rounds by 40%.

Why This Integration Changes the Game

Most monitoring tools stop at alerts. Hexometer + ApproveThis closes the loop with:

Decision Audits

Every approved/denied action timestamps in ApproveThis with Hexometer's original alert data. During PCI compliance reviews, teams can prove exactly who authorized emergency fixes and why.

Resource Guardrails

ApproveThis' calculated fields prevent runaway costs. If Hexometer detects server overload, the approval request auto-calculates maximum scaling costs based on current AWS rates. Approvers see real-time budget impact before deciding.

Continuity Assurance

With ApproveThis' vacation delegation, Hexometer alerts never stall because someone's OOO. If the lead developer is hiking the Alps, critical requests automatically reroute to their designated backup.

Implementation Made Simple

Setting up takes under 20 minutes:

Step 1: In Zapier, connect Hexometer (using your Hexometer account) and ApproveThis.

Step 2: Set Hexometer's "New Alert" as the trigger. Choose severity filters - maybe only critical issues need approvals.

Step 3: Map alert details to ApproveThis fields. Include Hexometer's incident URL for one-click diagnostics.

Step 4: Define approvers. Use ApproveThis groups for team-based routing (e.g., Infrastructure Alerts > Cloud Team).

Pro Tip: Enable ApproveThis' email approvals so stakeholders can approve directly from Gmail without platform logins.

Who Benefits Most?

IT & DevOps Teams

Reduce midnight wake-up calls. ApproveThis' mobile-first interface lets engineers approve server scaling from their lock screen. Escalation rules ensure prolonged downtime alerts wake up the right people.

Marketing Agencies

Provide clients with approval transparency without Hexometer access. When site speed issues delay campaign launches, clients get ApproveThis emails showing exact performance metrics. One-click approvals maintain momentum.

E-commerce Operations

Sync Hexometer's conversion rate alerts with inventory workflows. If product page errors spike, ApproveThis routes simultaneous approvals to IT and warehouse teams - fix the bug while pausing affected SKUs.

The Cost of Inaction

Consider the math: Hexometer finds a checkout page error costing $500/hour. Without automated approvals:

Detection Time: 2 minutes
Approval Delay: 55 minutes
Total Loss: $475

With this integration:

Detection → Auto-Request: 30 seconds
Mobile Approval: 3 minutes
Total Loss: $29.17

At scale, these savings let teams justify the tools through prevented losses alone.

Beyond Basic Alerts

While immediate issue resolution drives most adoptions, advanced users leverage deeper synergies:

Preventive Approvals

Hexometer's trend analysis can trigger pre-emptive requests. If page load times increase 10% weekly, ApproveThis routes a infrastructure upgrade proposal before users notice.

Client Reporting

ApproveThis' audit logs append to Hexometer's monthly reports. Clients see not just resolved issues, but the decision velocity behind them - a potent retention tool.

Compliance Automation

For industries like healthcare, ApproveThis can require additional sign-offs when Hexometer detects HIPAA-related vulnerabilities, ensuring audit trails for every patch.

Getting Started

To implement:

1. Register for ApproveThis (free 14-day trial)
2. Connect your Hexometer account via Zapier
3. Clone our pre-built template for alert approvals
4. Assign initial approvers and test with non-critical alerts

For complex workflows like multi-region escalation policies, request a custom demo showing conditional logic tailored to your stack.

The Future of Operational Tempo

In digital environments, speed isn't just about raw performance - it's about how quickly organizations can make quality decisions. By integrating Hexometer's diagnostic precision with ApproveThis' approval automation, businesses achieve what we call "structured velocity." Issues get resolved faster because process friction dissolves, not because safeguards are bypassed.

The data shows companies using both platforms:

- Reduce approval bottlenecks by 73%
- Cut incident resolution time by 61%
- Improve cross-team audit scores by 48%

These aren't just efficiency metrics - they're competitive moats. When your site stays faster, safer, and more reliable than competitors, market share follows. The tools exist. The integration works. The only question is how much you'll lose waiting.
