ApproveThis manages your Coro Integration approvals.

Why Security Teams Are Finally Breathing Easy

Let’s cut to the chase: security tools that create more work for everyone get ignored. Coro’s cybersecurity platform does the heavy lifting of monitoring your protected devices, users, and workspaces. ApproveThis handles the messy human part – getting actual decisions made without endless email threads. Together through Zapier, they’re like bouncer and manager at a VIP club: one spots the risk, the other gets the right people to say “yeah, this checks out” or “hell no.”

For companies between 50-5,000 employees, this isn’t about adding another layer of bureaucracy. It’s about making security approvals automatic where possible and auditable where necessary. Think procurement requests that auto-flag if they’re from unverified devices. HR system changes that require dual sign-off before going live. That’s the sweet spot.

Three Ways This Combo Stops Dumb Mistakes

We’ve all seen how “urgent” requests bypass security checks. These Zapier templates fix that by baking approvals into existing workflows:

1. New Device? Not Until Someone Signs Off

When Coro detects a new protected device (say, a contractor’s laptop), ApproveThis pings the IT lead with details: who added it, what access level it has, whether it’s compliant. Approvers get everything in one email – no logging into Coro needed. Healthcare companies use this to verify medical device access. Retail chains prevent store managers from adding unauthorized POS systems.

2. User Permission Changes = Automatic Paper Trail

Coro tracks when protected users get updated (promotions, role changes, offboarding). The integration forces a checkpoint: ApproveThis routes requests to department heads with context like “This sales rep now has CFO-level financial system access – intentional?” Legal teams love the auto-documentation for compliance audits.

3. Workspace Creep? Not on Your Watch

Every new workspace in Coro triggers an approval showing who created it, which teams are involved, and whether it follows naming conventions. Education orgs use this to prevent “shadow IT” classrooms. Tech companies stop engineers from spinning up unauthorized dev environments.

What You’re Really Solving For Different Teams

This isn’t just about security nerds and process geeks getting along. Here’s where departments actually feel the difference:

IT Teams

Stop being the bad guys who say “no.” Set up approval thresholds in ApproveThis so routine device approvals under $5K auto-approve. Only escalate exceptions. Vacation delegation means approvals never stall because someone’s at DEF CON.

Compliance Officers

Calculated fields in ApproveThis let you flag requests that violate policies before they hit human eyes. Got a user update that would give someone access to both payroll and vendor systems? The math red-flags it automatically.

Operations Managers

Real-time dashboards show where approvals get stuck. If workspace approvals take 3 days on average but one’s been pending for a week? ApproveThis surfaces that without you hunting through Coro logs.

Setting This Up Without Losing Your Mind

Zapier’s the glue here, and it takes about 15 minutes if you’ve got admin access to both tools:

1. In Zapier, choose Coro as the trigger app (pick “Protected Device Added,” “User Updated,” or “Workspace Created”).
2. Connect ApproveThis as the action app – use “Create Request.”
3. Map Coro’s data (device ID, user role changes) to ApproveThis fields. Pro tip: Use calculated fields to auto-flag requests that exceed risk thresholds.
4. Test with a low-risk change (like adding a test device). Approve via email to confirm it works.

Key thing: Approvers only need ApproveThis access. Your external auditors or client contacts don’t eat up Coro licenses. For companies managing multiple clients (MSPs, agencies), this is a billing lifesaver.

Zapier’s integration docs cover the technical bits, but our support team can pre-build your most common workflows if you book a demo.

When Not to Use This Integration

We’re not here to sell you duct tape. If you have:

• Under 50 employees: Might be overkill unless you’re in heavily regulated spaces.
• No existing Coro setup: Get your security monitoring squared away first.
• One-person approval chains: ApproveThis shines with multi-step reviews.

The Silent Killer of Security Teams (And How This Fixes It)

Alert fatigue is real. Coro might flag 100 “potential issues” daily. ApproveThis adds context so approvers see:

• Is this a standard request from a known department?
• What’s the blast radius if this goes wrong?
• Who requested it and when?

Example: A financial services firm reduced false positives by 60% by routing Coro alerts through ApproveThis with custom thresholds. High-risk items required CISO sign-off. Low-risk device additions auto-approved after 2 hours if no objection.

Your Move

If you’re using Coro, you’re already serious about security. ApproveThis removes the weakest link – human bottlenecks. Either:

Option 1: Start a free trial, connect via Zapier, and test with a single workflow (we recommend new device approvals first).

Option 2: Schedule a 15-minute demo where we’ll show how healthcare/logistics/retail clients use this combo.

Either way, stop letting urgent security changes become unapproved time bombs.
