Approvals

Set up client approvals for social media posts

Setting up client approvals means defining who reviews a post before it publishes and in what order, then letting clients sign off from a guest link with no account needed. Here is the setup in order.

By Angelina F. · Updated · 5 min read

To set up client approvals, decide who reviews each client's posts and in what order, add that approval route to the client, and send the client a guest link to sign off without an account. In SkedCast, one approval step works on every plan, and multi-stage chains and guest links come with Studio and above.

Key takeaways

  • Define the approval chain per client before sending anything for review.
  • Clients approve from a guest link — no SkedCast account needed.
  • Every decision keeps a full history and comments, attached to the post.
  • Approve in bulk once a batch is ready.

Client approvals for social media posts: step 1, define the chain

Decide the approval stages for a client: an internal reviewer first, then the client, or straight to the client if that fits how you work together.

Step 2 — Connect the client’s accounts

Connect the client’s social accounts and group them under that client, so approvals and reporting are scoped correctly.

Step 3 — Send the first batch for review

Compose or import the posts, then send them into the approval chain. The client reviews from a guest link with no account required, and can approve individually or in bulk.

FAQ

How long does client approval setup take?
A few minutes per client: define the chain, connect accounts, and the guest approval link is ready to use.
Can I change the approval chain later?
Yes, per client, at any time — it is not a one-time setup you are locked into.
Can clients approve posts without an account?
Yes. SkedCast's guest approval links let a client approve or ask for changes without logging in, from the Studio plan up.
Is there an approval step on every plan?
Yes. One internal approval step works on every SkedCast plan; multi-stage chains and guest links come with Studio and above.
Is there a record of who approved each post?
Yes. SkedCast's activity log records who created, edited, approved and published every post.
