Post Approval Flow in Sparkforge Social Planner

Social Planner in Sparkforge supports a built-in approval workflow. Instead of publishing immediately, a post can be routed to another team member for review. The reviewer can approve, reject, edit, or reschedule before it goes live.

Send a post for approval

1. Go to Marketing > Social Planner and create your post with content, media, and hashtags.
2. Click Schedule for Approval instead of Schedule.
3. Pick the date and time, choose the approver, and add an internal note if context helps.

The reviewer gets an email notification and can find the post under Content > Approval.

What the reviewer can do

• View — open the full post details before deciding.
• Edit — tweak content directly inside the approval screen.
• Approve — schedule the post in the social calendar.
• Reject — send the post back with a comment explaining why.
• Reschedule on approve — click the scheduled date in the review screen, pick a new time, and approve in one step.

Brand the approval email

The notification email reviewers receive can be branded. Go to Marketing > Emails > Templates > New > Email Marketing Templates, then open System Templates > Social Planner: Post Approval. Edit it as needed and save.

Apply the template under Social Planner Settings > Notifications by selecting it for Setup Email template for Social Post Approval.

Bulk approval via CSV

When you upload a CSV through New Post, you'll see an option to select an approver after choosing your social accounts. All imported posts route to that approver and only schedule once approved.
