ApproveThis manages your Cloudi-Fi Integration approvals.

Two Tools, One Competitive Advantage

When Cloudi-Fi's WiFi identity management joins forces with ApproveThis' granular approval controls through Zapier, businesses gain an operational edge that goes beyond basic automation. This integration transforms guest network access from an IT checkbox into a strategic tool for security compliance, personalized service delivery, and cross-departmental accountability.

Where Cloudi-Fi excels at tracking guest identities and network usage patterns, ApproveThis adds critical governance layers. Together, they enable scenarios like automatically requiring manager approval before granting VIP-level bandwidth access or ensuring legal team sign-off on data collection disclosures for international visitors.

Why This Integration Changes the Game

Most WiFi management systems treat approvals as binary gates – access granted or denied. The Cloudi-Fi/ApproveThis combination via Zapier introduces three transformative elements:

• Context-aware escalation: Approval thresholds automatically route high-risk requests (like extended network access for contractors) to senior staff while approving routine guest passes instantly
• Cross-functional visibility: Legal, IT, and facilities teams collaborate on access decisions without needing direct Cloudi-Fi licenses
• Compliance-ready auditing: Every approval decision ties directly to the specific Cloudi-Fi identity record and its usage history

Real-World Use Cases Beyond Basic Automation

Implementation Made Simple

Connecting Cloudi-Fi and ApproveThis via Zapier takes under 15 minutes:

1. Create Zapier triggers for Cloudi-Fi's "New/Updated Identity" events
2. Map critical fields like access duration, device count, and user type to ApproveThis
3. Configure approval rules in ApproveThis based on risk factors:
   • Auto-approve 1-device access for <8 hours
   • Escalate multi-device requests to IT security
   • Require CTO approval for IoT device network segregation

Pro Tip: Use ApproveThis' calculated fields to automatically flag high-risk requests based on Cloudi-Fi data like failed login attempts or unusual access times.

Department-Specific Benefits

The Hidden Cost Savings

While obvious benefits include faster approvals and reduced IT tickets, the real value emerges in:

• License optimization: External legal counsel or security partners can approve Cloudi-Fi changes without needing full system access
• Error reduction: ApproveThis' pre-approval validation checks prevent misconfigured Cloudi-Fi rules that often lead to help desk calls
• Contract compliance: Automatic approval denials for network access violating vendor agreements

Getting Started

To implement this integration:

1. Create your ApproveThis account (14-day free trial available)
2. Review Cloudi-Fi's identity management documentation to identify approval-worthy events
3. Use Zapier's pre-built template to connect the platforms in under 10 minutes

For complex environments, request a custom demo showcasing scenarios like:

• Merging Cloudi-Fi usage analytics into approval decision criteria
• Automating SLA enforcement for VIP guest access requests
• Generating compliance reports across both systems

Final Considerations

This integration delivers maximum value when aligned with organizational priorities:

• Security-first teams: Focus on auto-escalation rules for atypical access patterns
• Customer experience leaders: Implement approval SLAs with automatic fallback approvers
• Growth-stage companies: Use approval data to identify process bottlenecks during expansion
