Approve social posts without losing context.

Review copy, media, platform targets, and client feedback in Slack. Approvers can accept, reject, or request changes without chasing a spreadsheet.

All plans

Approvals

The approval request carries the post context.

The card shows the owner, window, media, and campaign before anyone approves or requests changes.

The decision path

Review is a route, not a button.

Why it matters

Every decision stays attached to the draft, the approver, the brand, and the reason.

  • Slack-native review actions for approve, reject, hold, and request changes
  • Configurable rejection reasons and permission-aware routes
  • Client-friendly review loops for Slack Connect workflows
  • Audit history for who approved what and when

The preview below shows how approvals appears in Slack — the context, entry points, and next actions your team uses every day.

What makes this different from a Slack thread approval?

A thread can hold comments, but the decision modal captures the structured decision, reviewer, reason, brand, and next state that the publishing workflow can enforce.

Approval request in Slack

Reviewers see the post, creative, timing, and decision controls together.

Approvers see the post context, platform targets, media state, and structured decision controls without chasing screenshots.

01

Let approvers work from the thread they already read.

Slash Social brings the draft, target platforms, media state, and approval controls into Slack so reviewers do not need to compare screenshots across tools.

02

Use consistent reasons instead of vague feedback.

Teams can capture structured rejection reasons, hold states, and comments so creators know what to fix and managers can see recurring friction.

03

Keep client approvals controlled.

Agency and client teams can review brand work without exposing unrelated drafts or internal planning channels.

Outcomes

What your team gets from approvals in Slack.

Shorter review loops

Approvers decide from the draft card in Slack with copy, media state, and platform targets on one screen.

Cleaner client feedback

Client reviewers comment on the assigned post only, with structured change requests instead of a screenshot thread.

Decisions your team can audit

Each approve, hold, or reject record stores who acted, when, and why for later reporting.

FAQ

Approvals questions

Can a creator approve their own post?

Permissions follow each user's role. Teams can decide who creates, reviews, approves, publishes, and manages brand settings.

Can approvers reject with a reason?

Yes. Rejection reasons can be configured so feedback is consistent and easy to report on.
