A Social Media Approval Workflow for Founders and Small Teams

Use a lightweight, evidence-led approval workflow so the right person reviews the exact social post, account, schedule, and supporting claim before publication.

Create a review process that prevents accidental publication without turning every post into a committee meeting.
Step 01

Define what needs review

Separate routine updates from material claims, launches, customer references, and sensitive topics.

  • List categories requiring approval.
  • State the evidence for each category.
  • Keep scope limited to the publication decision.
Step 02

Review the publication bundle

Present the account, exact revision, media, links, source context, schedule, and timezone as one bundle.

  • Identify the post revision.
  • Show account and destination.
  • Require review after meaningful edits.
Step 03

Record the decision and verify delivery

Approval is a clear decision on an exact revision; afterward verify the destination record.

  • Record who approved and when.
  • Do not publish edited revisions without review.
  • Keep a corrective path for failures.
Before you publish

A final quality check

  • The claim has source evidence.
  • Account and audience are explicit.
  • Exact text, links, media, time, and timezone are visible.
  • The approver has authority.
  • A published record or failure state is checked.
Common questions

Questions about this skill

Does every post need approval?
No. Define a proportionate policy: higher-risk claims and sensitive subjects need more review than routine evidence-backed updates.
What invalidates an approval?
Any meaningful change to text, account, links, media, claim, or schedule should require a fresh decision.
