Approvals
Real approval rails for social — internal review, client sign-off, multi-step routing, and compliance lanes. Every approval is versioned, every change is recorded, and material edits reset approval automatically when policy requires it. No more clients approving stale drafts in Slack.
What approvals do
Approvals that match how your team actually works.
Internal + client approval lanes
Configure a sequence: internal reviewers first, then named client approvers. Or run them in parallel. Or require a specific compliance reviewer for certain channels. Per-workspace and per-channel policy.
Scoped no-login client links
Send clients a signed, scoped review link — no account creation. They review, comment, request changes, or approve from email or Slack. Every action is timestamped and recorded.
Requested changes + approval deadlines
Clients can request specific changes inline. Deadlines trigger reminders before they lapse. Overdue approvals are surfaced on the team's dashboard.
Material edits reset approval
When a post is edited in a way that policy considers material — copy change, asset swap, link change — the approval state resets and re-routes. No one approves a draft they didn't actually see.
Version history per post
Every revision is stored with diff, author, and timestamp. Pull up the version that was approved when leadership asks what shipped.
Audit export for compliance
Export the full approval log — who saw what, when, and what they did — as CSV or JSON. Required for regulated industries; useful for everyone.
Why this matters
Approvals in chat aren't approvals.
If a client approved in DMs, your audit log says nothing. If they approved a draft that was later edited, no one knows. If they were on PTO and someone else approved on their behalf, the record is silent. SignalDeck's approvals capture the version, the person, and the moment — so the record holds up.
Approval shapes
Configurable to your reality.
Single-approver client
One client, one approver, one email. Approve from a no-login link in under 10 seconds.
Multi-stakeholder review
Brand, legal, exec — sequenced or parallel, with required reviewers and deadlines.
Compliance-bound industries
Required compliance approver per channel, material-edit re-approval, and full audit export.
High-volume queues
Bulk-approve a campaign's worth of posts with a single review session and per-post diff visible.
FAQ
Frequently asked
Do clients need an account?
No. Scoped, signed approval links work from email or Slack. They can comment, request changes, and approve without creating anything.
Can I customize what counts as a 'material edit'?
Yes. Per workspace and per channel, you choose which fields reset approval when changed.
What about emergency posts that bypass approval?
Permissioned roles can override. Every override is logged with reason, user, and timestamp — visible to admins and exportable.
