Guest access for social media approval lets a client open a link, see the posts waiting for them and approve them or ask for changes, without an account or login. In SkedCast, an Owner or Manager shares a signed, expiring guest link for a pending approval, and the client's decision is recorded on the post.
Key takeaways
- Guest reviewer access needs no client account or login.
- It removes the most common piece of client onboarding friction.
- A guest link is scoped to only what that client needs to review.
Guest access social media approval: how it works
A client is sent a link. They open it, see the post or batch of posts awaiting their review, and approve or request changes with comments — no account creation, no password, no app to download.
Why this matters for onboarding
Asking a busy client contact to create an account, remember a password, and log into yet another tool is real friction that slows down approvals and onboarding. A guest link removes that step entirely.
What a guest link should — and should not — expose
A guest link should only ever show that client’s own content awaiting review, never another client’s accounts, drafts, or internal team notes.
FAQ
- Does a client need to create an account to approve a post?
- No — a guest reviewer link lets them approve or request changes directly, with no account creation or login required.
- Is a guest approval link secure?
- It should be scoped strictly to that client’s own content awaiting review — never exposing another client’s accounts or drafts.
- Can a client leave comments through a guest link?
- Typically yes — a guest reviewer can approve, reject, or leave comments requesting changes, all without an account.
- 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.
