Approvals

Every post. Every stage. One view.

Sked's Approvals Board shows your whole pipeline the moment you open it. Clients sign off from a no-login link, backed by multi-step flows you configure per brand and per campaign.

The moment you open Approvals, every post shows up exactly where it sits in your review process. No scanning rows. No mentally sorting by status. Most scheduling tools show approvals as a flat list. Sked shows you a pipeline, because content at volume deserves better than a spreadsheet.

The numbers that matter

What holds the review chain together.

0

logins for client review

Branded no-login review portals for external stakeholders.

2

sign-off moments per post

Approve the concept before design starts, then the finished post before it publishes.

1

board for every stage

First draft to final sign-off in a single pipeline view.

Approvals that flex to your process, not the other way round.

Build a custom chain from first draft to final sign-off, with approval at the two moments that matter: the concept before anyone spends time designing it, and the finished post before it publishes. Alerts go out the moment someone's input is needed, and a status view shows what is waiting on whom. The bottleneck moves out of the inbox and into a workflow.

Every client's approval chain, on one board.

Give each client its own review flow and watch every stage move in one place. Alerts go out the moment someone's input is needed, status cues show what is waiting, and nothing stalls in an inbox no one is checking.

Every client account and its review status in one view.

Approval depth

The parts of review that usually slip.

  • No-login client review

    Send a branded review link to someone who has never opened Sked. They comment and approve in the browser, and you pick it up in your queue.

  • Configurable approval chains

    One approver or five, sequential or parallel, with per-brand rules. Save a flow as a template and reuse it on the next campaign.

  • Audit trail and permissions

    Every edit, comment and approval is logged with who and when. Access levels mean people only see the content that is theirs.

Sked vs the email chase

Sign-off shouldn't live in a reply-all thread.

Chasing approvals by email
  • Forward the draft and wait for a reply that scrolls off the screen
  • Rebuild the feedback from four different email chains
  • Give a client a login they will never use again
  • Guess which version was actually the approved one
Sked Social
  • Route the post through the exact chain your team uses
  • Clients approve from a no-login link, no account required
  • Alerts nudge the next reviewer so nothing stalls
  • The audit trail shows who approved what, and when

Who it's for

Built for the teams a bottleneck hurts most.

  • Agencies

    Run a separate sign-off flow for every client, hand over a no-login link for approvals, and keep a clean record of what each client signed off.

  • In-house social teams

    Move a post from copy to brand to legal without a single status meeting, and see what is waiting on whom at a glance.

  • Regulated and multi-location brands

    Keep a timestamped audit trail for compliance, and set access levels so each location only touches its own content.

Common questions

Questions about Approvals.

  • What approval flows can I set up?

    One approver or several, in sequence or in parallel, with different rules per brand. Save a flow as a template and reuse it on the next campaign, so you are not rebuilding the chain each time.

  • Can external clients review without a Sked login?

    Yes. Send a branded review link and stakeholders comment or approve straight from the browser, with no account and no password. Their sign-off lands back in your queue.

  • Can I run different flows per brand?

    Yes. Agencies set one flow per client, with different reviewers, timing and alerts. In-house teams vary the chain by campaign, channel or business unit.

  • What does the audit trail record?

    Every edit, comment, approval and publish event, each with a timestamp and the user behind it. When legal or a client asks who signed off, the record is already there.

  • Which plans include approvals?

    Approvals are available from the Grow plan up: as an add-on on Grow, and bundled into higher plans. They are not available on the Basic plan. The pricing page shows exactly which plan includes what.
