ApproveThis manages your Isofy Integration approvals.

Let’s be honest: managing network access permissions is the administrative equivalent of herding cats. Between onboarding new members, deactivating old ones, and keeping security tight, it’s easy for things to slip through the cracks. Enter ApproveThis and Isofy – two tools that, when combined via Zapier, turn that chaos into a well-oiled machine. No capes required.

Why This Combo Works (Besides the Obvious)

Isofy handles the technical heavy lifting of network access control for co-working spaces and hybrid offices. ApproveThis handles the human side: getting decisions made fast without endless Slack threads. Together, they solve the "who said yes?" problem that plagues IT teams and facility managers.

The Nuts and Bolts

ApproveThis isn’t just a digital rubber stamp. Features like conditional approvals (auto-approve under $500), delegation during vacations, and real-time dashboards mean requests don’t die in someone’s inbox. Isofy’s member management ensures network permissions match those decisions exactly – no more ghost accounts haunting your WiFi.

Real Uses for Real Companies

We’re not here for abstract theory. Let’s talk about how this integration actually works in the wild:

1. Co-Working Spaces: Member Onboarding That Doesn’t Suck

Picture this: A new member signs up at a co-working space. Isofy creates their profile. Zapier triggers ApproveThis to route a request to the facilities manager, security lead, and accounting (because someone’s gotta approve that discount code). Once approved, Isofy automatically grants building access and WiFi credentials. No spreadsheets. No “did you get my email?”

2. Tech Companies: Offboarding Without the Security Nightmares

An employee leaves. HR initiates an offboarding request in ApproveThis. Once approved, Isofy kills their network access across all offices before the exit interview ends. Bonus: Calculated fields in ApproveThis can auto-approve standard terminations but escalate if the employee had elevated access privileges.

3. Client-Facing Teams: Secure External Collaboration

Law firms, agencies, anyone sharing sensitive docs: Create approval workflows where external clients approve Isofy guest access requests via email (no ApproveThis login needed). Once they approve, Isofy grants time-limited WiFi access. Clients feel the professionalism; your team avoids being the VPN helpdesk.

Setup: Less Time Than Your Daily Standup

Connecting ApproveThis and Isofy via Zapier isn’t some DevOps project. Here’s the playbook:

1. Pick Your Trigger: Start in Zapier – maybe “New Member Added in Isofy”
2. Build the Approval: Map Isofy data (email, access level) to an ApproveThis template
3. Add Logic: Set thresholds (e.g., auto-approve basic access, escalate premium tiers)
4. Close the Loop: Add a Zap step to update Isofy once approved/denied

Pro tip: Use ApproveThis’ calculated fields to auto-flag requests needing extra scrutiny. Example: If a Isofy member request includes admin-level permissions, require CTO sign-off.

Teams That Win With This Integration

IT & Security Teams

Finally align access permissions with actual approvals. Automatic Isofy deactivations when ApproveThis requests are denied = fewer security holes. Vacation delegation means the network isn’t held hostage because someone’s on PTO.

Operations & Facilities

New office location? Approval workflows for site-specific access in ApproveThis feed into Isofy’s zone controls. Track everything in ApproveThis’ dashboard instead of digging through tickets.

HR & People Ops

Onboarding 50 interns? Bulk create Isofy profiles, let ApproveThis handle department-specific approvals (manager, IT, etc). Offboarding? One denial in ApproveThis triggers Isofy access removal across all systems.

The Unspoken Perks

Beyond the obvious time saves, this combo solves two headaches you’ve learned to tolerate:

Approvals Without Logins (Yes, Really)

ApproveThis lets external approvers (clients, vendors, board members) vote via email. They don’t need Isofy logins – critical when dealing with non-technical stakeholders who shouldn’t have access to your network dashboard.

Audit Trails That Don’t Lie

Regulatory compliance loves this: Every Isofy access change is tied to an ApproveThis request with timestamps, comments, and approver IDs. No more “That wasn’t me!” during security reviews.

When to Think Twice

This integration isn’t magic pixie dust. If your approval process is “the CEO emails IT when they feel like it,” you’ll need to define actual workflows first. Also, Zapier handles the basics – for complex logic, use ApproveThis’ built-in conditional steps before hitting Isofy.

Bottom Line

ApproveThis + Isofy via Zapier is about eliminating the “middlemen” in network access decisions. It’s for teams tired of being human routers between departments. The setup’s straightforward, the payoffs are immediate, and no one needs to learn another dashboard.

Next Steps: If your Isofy admin spends more than an hour a week on access requests, register for ApproveThis and explore the Isofy Zapier integration. Or, book a 10-minute demo to see how approval thresholds can auto-approve 60% of your Isofy requests.

Either way, stop letting network access controls be the bottleneck. Your security team (and your sanity) will thank you.
