The Social Media Approval Workflow That Simplifies Sign-Off
Send your social posts to clients and stakeholders for sign-off before they publish, and stop chasing approvals over email.
Make Every Post One Your Team Is Proud Of
Put every post that needs review through approval before your audience sees it.
Protect Your Brand's Reputation
Add approvers to a post, and Social Approvals keeps it from publishing until they sign off. Your audience only sees posts your team has approved.
Get Every Stakeholder's Sign-Off
When a post needs more than one yes, require approval from all of its approvers. For routine posts, one approval is enough to keep things moving.
Client Approval Without The Back-And-Forth
Clients review and approve their posts in CoSchedule, not in long email threads.
Give Clients A Simple Way To Say Yes
Social Approvals emails clients when a post is ready for their review. They approve it, or request changes in comments that stay in CoSchedule for your team to see.
Send Every Post To The Right Client
Every client gets their own login at no extra cost and sees only their posts that need approval. Each client reviews and approves only their own posts.
See What's Waiting For Approval
Know what's waiting on you, what's waiting on your team and what's already approved.
Know What Needs Your Approval
The Approvals page shows every post waiting for your sign-off and every post waiting on your team. Nothing that needs review gets buried in your email.
Keep Your Posts On Schedule
Send an approver a friendly reminder with one click when a post is still waiting for sign-off. Approvals keep moving, and every post publishes when you planned.
Build Approval Into Every Post
Set up your approval process once, and every post follows it from first draft to final sign-off.
Send Every Post To The Right Approver
Name a default approver, and CoSchedule adds them to every post that needs sign-off. You can still bring in other approvers when needed.
Spot Pending Posts At A Glance
Posts waiting for approval are marked on your calendar. You always know what's scheduled and what's still out for review.
