Approvals add a controlled review step before content is scheduled or published. They are useful for client work, high-visibility campaigns, team handoffs, and AI-assisted content that needs a human check.
Approval workflows are available on Pro and Enterprise plans.

How approvals work

A post submitted for approval enters a pending-review state. It does not publish until an authorized reviewer approves it and the post passes the required publishing checks. The exact actions available depend on the user’s workspace role and the current post state. Socializioz still enforces account ownership, connected-account health, media rules, schedule validity, and platform requirements.

Submit a post for approval

1

Create the post

Open the Composer, choose the destination account, add the caption and media, and complete any platform-specific settings.
2

Send for review

Choose the approval action instead of publishing or scheduling directly.
3

Review the pending item

Open the approvals area in Publishing Hub and inspect the content, account, media, and schedule.

Review actions

Depending on the post state and reviewer permissions, the review workflow can allow you to:
  • Approve the post.
  • Reject it with reviewer notes.
  • Adjust required details before approval.
  • Reschedule it.
  • Publish it when immediate publishing is available and valid.
A post cannot move to a publishable state if required data is missing or invalid.

Rejected posts

Rejected posts are not automatically deleted. Review the feedback, edit the content in the Composer, and submit it again when it is ready.
1

Open the rejected post

Find it from the relevant publishing or scheduling view.
2

Review the notes

Check the reason for rejection and identify the required changes.
3

Edit and resubmit

Update the post, then send it for approval again.

Approval notifications

Where enabled, Socializioz can notify relevant users when a post needs review or when an approval decision changes its state. Notification availability and delivery depend on the current notification settings.

Review checklist

Before approving a post, confirm:
  • The destination account is correct and connected.
  • The caption is accurate and on-brand.
  • Required media is attached and meets platform rules.
  • Platform-specific settings are complete.
  • The schedule time is valid and includes the correct timezone.
  • Any legal, pricing, offer, or factual claims have been checked.
