Facebook post approval: set up sign-off for Page posts

Who this is for

Agencies and freelancers managing a client’s Facebook Page, franchise and branch Pages that need head-office sign-off, and teams where more than one person writes for the Page.

1. Turn approvals on for the client

Open Settings, then Clients, and set the client whose Page it is to “Posts wait for a yes”. Or use the Approvals section on the Team screen with that client open. Other clients keep their own rule.

Facebook Pages in Dripost are in live testing now: built and posting for real, open to tester accounts, and open to everyone once that test is done.

2. Invite approvers

Add the manager or client to the team with the approver role. Approvers read and decide; they can’t change posts, and they don’t take a paid seat.

3. Send the Page post for approval

Write the post as usual. With approvals on, the button reads Send for approval. The post waits in Approvals with its chosen time, and approvers get a notice.

4. Decide

An approver sees the Page post with its photo or video. Approve, and it publishes at its time. Ask for changes needs a comment, and the writer sees it on the post.

5. For a client with no login

From the post’s More menu, Send to client creates a private link valid for seven days. The client opens it on their phone, plays the video if there is one, and approves or sends it back with a note. Share it by copy, email or WhatsApp.

6. An edit restarts the check

If a member edits the text, the media, the time or the platforms after approval, the post needs a new yes. An owner or admin editing re-approves it with their name.

Plan availability

Approvals and review links are on Pro and Agency. Pro has 5 seats, and approvers are free on top of them.
