When Process Automation Meets Human Decisions
Let's be real: most approval processes suck. They're either trapped in email threads that never die or buried under layers of clunky enterprise software. That's why pairing ApproveThis with LogicGate through Zapier isn't just another integration - it's a surgical strike against bureaucratic slowdowns.
LogicGate handles the heavy lifting of compliance workflows and risk management. ApproveThis does one thing brutally well: getting human decisions faster without drowning in follow-ups. Together, they create closed-loop automation where nothing falls through the cracks. Think of it like giving your GRC platform a shot of espresso - suddenly, those risk assessments and audit trails actually move at business speed.
Why This Combo Works for Mid-Sized Companies
Companies between 50-5,000 employees get squeezed the hardest by approval bottlenecks. You're too big for ad-hoc processes but too lean to waste money on enterprise bloatware. Here's where this integration shines:
For compliance teams: Automatically kick off approval workflows when LogicGate detects policy exceptions. ApproveThis handles the stakeholder sign-offs while maintaining a crystal clear audit trail back in LogicGate.
For procurement: Trigger purchase approval requests the moment a vendor risk assessment hits specific thresholds in LogicGate. No more manual handoffs between risk management and purchasing teams.
For IT: Auto-escalate access requests based on LogicGate's security risk scoring. ApproveThis ensures the right people review high-risk permissions without creating license headaches for infrequent approvers.
The kicker? Approvers only need access to ApproveThis - no extra LogicGate seats required. Perfect for involving external auditors or cross-functional teams.
Real-World Workflows That Don't Feel Like Work
1. From Risk Flag to Resolution in 3 Clicks
A healthcare compliance officer sets up LogicGate to flag unusual provider contracts. When high-risk terms are detected, ApproveThis automatically:
- Routes contracts to legal + compliance leads
- Applies dollar-amount approval thresholds
- Updates LogicGate with final decisions and comments
Result: 68% faster contract reviews at Memorial Health System*
2. Purchase Orders That Actually Follow Policy
A manufacturing company links LogicGate's vendor assessments to ApproveThis. Now:
- High-risk vendors require extra approvals
- Budget overages auto-escalate to CFO
- Approved POs sync back to LogicGate with terms
Result: Benton Manufacturing reduced rogue spending by 41% in Q1
3. Audit-Proof Access Requests
A fintech company connects LogicGate's access risk scores to ApproveThis workflows:
High-risk system access? Requires CISO approval. Standard requests? Auto-approved if under 48hrs. All decisions feed back into LogicGate for compliance reporting.
Setting Up Without the Setup Headaches
Here's the beauty of using Zapier - you're not building some fragile custom integration. Three steps:
- Connect ApproveThis and LogicGate to your Zapier account
- Choose your triggers:
- LogicGate record moves to specific step
- ApproveThis request gets created/completed - Map critical data fields between systems
Pro tip: Start with one workflow (like vendor approvals) before scaling up. Most teams get their first Zap live in under 20 minutes.
Features That Make This More Than Just Notifications
ApproveThis brings muscle where other approval tools tap out:
Approval thresholds: Auto-approve low-risk LogicGate items under $5K? Done. Flag anything over $50K for CFO review? Easy.
Calculated fields: Combine LogicGate risk scores with financial data to trigger custom approval paths. No coding - just spreadsheet-like formulas.
Vacation coverage: Approvers OOO? ApproveThis automatically delegates their LogicGate-triggered requests. No more "waiting on Karen from Legal" emails.
Who Actually Benefits From This?
Compliance Teams
Stop chasing signatures for policy exceptions. Now LogicGate findings automatically route through ApproveThis with:
- Pre-built audit trails
- Version-controlled documents
- Deadline enforcement
Procurement Departments
Link LogicGate's vendor risk assessments to purchase approvals that:
- Enforce tiered approval chains
- Prevent maverick spending
- Sync final decisions back to vendor records
IT Security
Connect LogicGate's access risk scores to approval workflows that:
- Require CISO sign-off for high-risk permissions
- Auto-approve low-risk access within SLAs
- Maintain immutable access decision logs
The Bottom Line for Scaling Companies
ApproveThis isn't trying to replace LogicGate - it's making human decisions keep pace with automated workflows. For companies hitting that growth stage where manual approvals start crippling velocity, this integration acts like a pressure release valve.
You get:
- Fewer status meetings about "where's that approval"
- No more Frankenstein systems of emails + spreadsheets + sticky notes
- Actual enforcement of approval policies across teams
And because it's all powered by Zapier, you're not waiting on IT to build custom connectors. Marketing can set up their campaign approval workflows while HR handles onboarding checks - all using the same integration.
Ready to Stop Chasing Approvals?
If your company's caught between rapid growth and approval gridlock, this integration is your off-ramp. It takes about 15 minutes to connect ApproveThis and LogicGate through Zapier - less time than it takes to get one manual approval through legal.
