When Approval Workflows Meet Community Engagement
Verint Community empowers organizations to build thriving knowledge hubs through forums, blogs, and collaborative spaces. But when user-generated content requires oversight or community management needs structure, manual processes create bottlenecks. ApproveThis eliminates friction by adding enterprise-grade approval automation directly into Verint workflows via Zapier. Together, they enable teams to maintain quality standards while scaling community engagement.
Consider a technical support forum where engineers share troubleshooting guides. Without guardrails, incorrect information could damage customer trust. By connecting Verint Community to ApproveThis, every new thread or blog post automatically triggers a review process. Subject matter experts approve content in minutes via email - no need to log into multiple systems. The result? Faster publishing cycles with built-in compliance.
Key Integration Benefits Across Teams
For Community Managers
Maintain brand consistency by routing all user-generated content through predefined approval chains. Automatically escalate controversial forum threads to legal teams using conditional thresholds in ApproveThis. Real-time dashboards show exactly where each request stands.
For Customer Support Leaders
When a support agent submits a new knowledge base article through Verint, ApproveThis can require peer validation from two senior technicians before publication. Vacation delegation ensures no request stalls because someone’s out of office.
For HR & Internal Comms
Employee resource groups using Verint forums for DEI initiatives gain structure through approval workflows. All announcements about cultural events get automatic routing to ERG leads and HR partners via calculated fields that identify sensitive topics.
Four Strategic Use Cases
1. Content Moderation at Scale
Template: Create approval requests for new blog posts/forum threads
How it works: Every user-submitted blog post or forum thread in Verint Community triggers an ApproveThis request. Legal and subject matter experts review directly from email, with automated reminders if responses stall.
Example: A healthcare company’s patient support community uses this to ensure all medication discussions comply with FDA guidelines. Approvers receive calculated risk scores based on keywords, prioritizing urgent reviews.
2. Role-Based Access Control
Template: Assign user roles for new approval requests
How it works: When a community member requests elevated privileges (like forum moderation rights), ApproveThis initiates a multi-step review. Upon approval, Verint automatically updates the user’s permissions.
Example: A SaaS company’s partner portal uses this to grant solution architects access to premium technical content after sales leadership approval.
3. Profile Synchronization
Template: Update profile fields on approval decisions
How it works: Approved certifications or badges in ApproveThis trigger real-time updates to Verint user profiles. Denied requests automatically notify users with revision notes.
Example: An IT certification community automatically displays "AWS Certified" badges only after exam validation through centralized approvals.
4. Compliance Auditing
Template: Escalate high-risk content
Beyond basics: Combine ApproveThis’ monetary thresholds with Verint’s analytics to flag posts mentioning competitors’ products over $10K. Legal teams get automatic escalation paths.
Example: A financial services firm auto-rejects forum investment advice containing specific stock tickers unless compliance officers manually override.
Implementation Made Simple
Connect Verint Community and ApproveThis in under 15 minutes using Zapier:
- In Zapier, choose Verint Community as your trigger app (e.g., "New Blog Post")
- Select ApproveThis as your action app ("Create Request")
- Map Verint fields to ApproveThis templates (author, content snippet, URLs)
- Activate and test with a sample submission
Critical pro tip: Use ApproveThis’ calculated fields to analyze Verint content length or keyword density. Automatically approve posts under 300 words but require human review for long-form content.
Why This Integration Outperforms Native Tools
While Verint offers basic moderation features, ApproveThis adds:
- Cross-functional routing (e.g., send marketing copy to both legal and product teams simultaneously)
- Conditional thresholds (auto-approve posts from trusted users with 50+ contributions)
- Audit trails meeting SOC 2 requirements
Plus, external approvers never need Verint licenses. Clients, partners, or regulatory bodies can review content through ApproveThis’ email interface without accessing your community platform.
Optimizing for Different Industries
Healthcare
Patient support communities use approval chains to ensure HIPAA compliance. All treatment discussions get reviewed by MDs and privacy officers. Approved posts receive disclaimers automatically appended via Zapier.
Education
University research portals require IT security approval before sharing datasets. ApproveThis sends parallel requests to lab directors and cybersecurity teams, accelerating publish times by 68%.
Enterprise Software
Technical forums implement tiered approvals: Level 1 support handles basic FAQs, complex architecture discussions route to principal engineers. Approval groups in ApproveThis enforce these policies based on tags from Verint.
