ApproveThis manages your Trinsic Integration approvals.

Why Approval Workflows Need Identity Verification

Modern businesses face two critical challenges: moving decisions forward quickly while maintaining airtight security. ApproveThis solves the first problem with automated approval workflows that eliminate bottlenecks in processes like procurement or contract reviews. Trinsic addresses the second through verifiable credentials built on open standards, ensuring only authorized individuals access sensitive systems or data.

When connected via Zapier, these platforms create closed-loop systems where identity verification triggers approval workflows and approved requests automatically issue credentials. A healthcare provider could require identity-confirmed approvals for patient data access. Financial institutions might auto-issue compliance certificates after loan approvals. The combination turns manual security checks into systematic processes.

Three Ways This Integration Transforms Operations

1. Credential Issuance with Approval Completion

When an ApproveThis request receives final approval, Trinsic automatically issues digital credentials through pre-configured Zapier workflows. This works particularly well for:

• Education: Universities auto-issue verified diplomas after graduation approvals
• Healthcare: Hospitals grant system access credentials upon completing staff onboarding approvals

Approvers don't need Trinsic licenses – they interact solely through ApproveThis email notifications or dashboard. The system handles credential distribution silently, reducing IT overhead.

2. Connection-Based Approval Triggers

New Trinsic connections (like vendors completing identity verification) can automatically launch approval workflows in ApproveThis. Practical applications include:

• Manufacturing: Supplier quality certifications trigger raw material purchase approvals
• Consulting: Client credential verification initiates project scope approval workflows

ApproveThis' calculated fields add context – if a Trinsic-verified vendor requests $50K in materials, thresholds could auto-approve orders below $10K while routing larger amounts to executives.

3. Post-Approval Verification Updates

Approval decisions in ApproveThis update Trinsic verification statuses through configured Zaps. Use cases:

Financial Services: Loan approval triggers updated borrower credentials in Trinsic wallets. Government: Permit approvals automatically extend expiration dates in digital IDs. ApproveThis' vacation delegation ensures continuity – if a primary approver is unavailable, alternate authorized users maintain verification timelines.

Implementation Guide for Cross-Platform Workflows

Setting up the integration requires:

1. Active accounts in both ApproveThis and Trinsic
2. Zapier connection between the two platforms

Critical Configuration Steps

Credential Mapping: Align ApproveThis template fields with Trinsic credential schemas during Zap setup. For contract approvals, map "Approved Budget" in ApproveThis to "Spending Authority" in Trinsic credentials.

Conditional Routing: Use ApproveThis' thresholds to control Trinsic actions. Contracts under $25K might auto-issue credentials, while larger amounts require manual verification steps.

Approval Chains: Configure sequential approvals in ApproveThis where Trinsic credentials require multiple validations (e.g., technical reviewer + legal approver).

Team-Specific Benefits

IT & Security Teams

Combine ApproveThis' audit trails with Trinsic's blockchain-based verification for compliance reporting. Security leads gain:

- Automatic revocation of credentials when approvals expire
- Real-time visibility into who approved high-risk access requests

Operations Managers

ApproveThis' real-time tracking dashboard shows where verification-bound approvals stall. If a Trinsic-verified vendor submission waits on engineering sign-off, managers can prioritize reviews without compromising security checks.

External Collaborators

Contractors and partners approve requests through ApproveThis without needing Trinsic access. A construction firm's subcontractors could approve material orders through email while maintaining their Trinsic-verified credentials for site access.

Real-World Workflow Example

A regional bank uses the integration for small business loan processing:

1. Loan officer initiates request in ApproveThis after Trinsic verifies applicant identity
2. Credit committee approves via sequential workflow
3. Upon approval, Trinsic issues loan commitment credential to borrower's digital wallet
4. Borrower presents credential to title company for property purchase
5. ApproveThis tracks credential usage through integrated dashboard

The process reduces loan closing time from 45 days to 12 while maintaining strict compliance controls.

Getting Started

Begin with simple verification-approval pairs:

Phase 1: Connect Trinsic identity events to basic ApproveThis workflows
Phase 2: Add calculated fields for conditional credential issuance
Phase 3: Implement approval thresholds with automated Trinsic updates

ApproveThis' template library and Trinsic's developer docs provide pre-built components for common scenarios like vendor onboarding or compliance certifications.

Why This Combination Works

ApproveThis handles the human decision layer while Trinsic manages the technical verification layer. Together, they prevent common failure points:

- Security Gaps: Approvals without verification become rubber stamps
- Bottlenecks: Manual credential issuance slows approved requests
- Compliance Risks: Disconnected systems create audit trail fractures

The integration particularly benefits heavily regulated industries – healthcare, finance, and government – where approval authority must align with provable identity verification.

Next Steps

Teams using Trinsic for identity management can extend their investment through ApproveThis' approval automation. Conversely, ApproveThis users gain enterprise-grade verification capabilities without complex development.
