ApproveThis manages your Pulsetic Integration approvals.

When uptime meets accountability, businesses move faster without risking compliance. Pulsetic’s real-time monitoring paired with ApproveThis’s structured approval workflows creates a safety net for technical teams and stakeholders alike. This integration isn’t just about connecting tools—it’s about closing the loop between detection and action.

Why This Integration Changes the Game

Pulsetic identifies problems, while ApproveThis ensures the right people authorize solutions. Together, they prevent two common pitfalls: delayed responses to critical incidents and unauthorized changes that create compliance risks. For teams managing complex systems or client infrastructure, this pairing turns reactive alerts into auditable processes.

Key Advantages for Technical Teams

Developers and IT managers gain precision in incident handling. When Pulsetic detects downtime or performance thresholds being breached, ApproveThis automatically routes approval requests to designated engineers or clients. This eliminates back-and-forth emails while maintaining a clear chain of custody for changes.

Real-World Use Cases: Beyond Basic Alerts

Consider a SaaS company experiencing server overload during peak sales. Pulsetic triggers an alert when CPU usage crosses 90%, prompting ApproveThis to automatically seek approval from DevOps leads to scale cloud resources. The entire process—from detection to resolution—is documented and timestamped.

Client-Facing Scenarios

Managed service providers (MSPs) can leverage this integration for transparent client governance. If Pulsetic detects repeated login failures on a client’s e-commerce platform, ApproveThis routes a security upgrade proposal directly to the client’s decision-maker via email. No client logins required—approvals happen in their inbox.

Strategic Benefits Across Departments

IT & DevOps: Reduce mean time to resolution (MTTR) by eliminating approval bottlenecks. Emergency patches or infrastructure scaling get greenlit in minutes, not days.

Compliance Teams: Automatically generate audit trails showing who approved specific actions in response to incidents. Approval records include timestamps, comments, and linked Pulsetic event data.

Client Services: Demonstrate proactive governance by involving clients in critical decisions without requiring them to learn new tools. All they need is email.

Implementation Made Simple

Setting up the integration through Zapier takes under 15 minutes:

1. Create a Zap using Pulsetic’s “New Monitor Event” trigger
2. Map critical alert details (severity, affected system, timestamp) to ApproveThis fields
3. Configure approval rules in ApproveThis: Set escalation paths for after-hours alerts or high-severity incidents

Pro Tip: Use ApproveThis’s calculated fields to auto-prioritize requests based on Pulsetic’s severity scores. Critical alerts can bypass junior staff and route directly to on-call engineers.

Maintenance Mode Made Accountable

For teams handling scheduled maintenance, reverse the workflow: Use ApproveThis to require manager sign-off before disabling Pulsetic monitors during planned outages. This prevents accidental monitor deactivation and ensures proper change control.

Unique Features That Multiply Value

ApproveThis adds layers of control that most monitoring tools lack:

• Approval Thresholds: Auto-approve routine alerts below specific severity levels while flagging major incidents for human review
• Vacation Delegation: Ensure 24/7 coverage by automatically rerouting approvals if primary responders are unavailable

Meanwhile, Pulsetic provides the granular monitoring data needed to make informed decisions—uptime percentages, error rate trends, and incident root causes all feed directly into approval requests.

Financial Impact & Risk Mitigation

For e-commerce companies, every minute of downtime costs revenue. By slashing approval delays for emergency fixes, this integration directly protects bottom lines. A retailer processing $10k/hour could save $1,600 per incident by reducing resolution time by 10 minutes.

Equally important, the audit trail protects against compliance fines. GDPR and HIPAA require documented authorization for system changes affecting sensitive data—this integration automatically generates those records.

The Hidden Efficiency: Cross-Tool Visibility

ApproveThis’s dashboard becomes a unified command center, displaying Pulsetic alerts alongside marketing spend approvals and contract reviews. Executives gain holistic visibility into organizational bottlenecks without jumping between platforms.

Scaling With Your Operations

As companies grow, ad-hoc approval processes crumble. This integration scales through:

Dynamic Routing: New team members added to Pulsetic’s on-call roster automatically receive appropriate approval rights in ApproveThis

Conditional Logic: High-priority production incidents can require CTO sign-off, while staging environment alerts route to engineering leads

Getting Started: First Steps

Begin with high-impact, low-risk scenarios to demonstrate value:

1. Connect Pulsetic’s uptime alerts for mission-critical systems to ApproveThis’s basic approval flow
2. Gradually expand to performance threshold alerts and security events
3. Implement calculated fields to auto-classify incident severity based on Pulsetic’s metrics

Most teams see ROI within the first month through reduced resolution times and eliminated compliance near-misses.

Why This Outperforms Custom-Coded Solutions

While some enterprises build internal approval systems, maintaining them drains developer resources. ApproveThis offers enterprise-grade features like SOC 2 compliance and granular permissions out of the box. Updates to Pulsetic’s API or approval regulations are handled automatically, future-proofing your workflow.

The Client Approval Advantage

For agencies and MSPs, ApproveThis removes friction in client interactions. Clients receive approval requests via email with clear options to approve/reject actions—no training required. All while keeping Pulsetic’s detailed incident reports just a click away for technical staff.

Your Next Move: From Reactive to Orchestrated

Monitoring tools shouldn’t exist in a decision-making vacuum. By embedding Pulsetic’s alerts into ApproveThis’s governance framework, technical teams gain authority to act quickly while maintaining organizational oversight.
