Approval Workflow¶
Dual Approval Process¶

graph LR
A[Draft Created] --> B[Partner A Review]
B --> C{Approved?}
C -->|Yes| D[Partner B Review]
C -->|No| E[Revision Requested]
E --> A
D --> F{Approved?}
F -->|Yes| G[Ready to Publish]
F -->|No| E
Approval States¶
| State | Description |
|---|---|
| Draft | Initial AI-generated content |
| Partner A Pending | Awaiting first partner review |
| Partner A Approved | First partner approved |
| Partner B Pending | Awaiting second partner review |
| Both Approved | Ready for publishing |
| Changes Requested | Revision needed |
| Published | Live on channels |
Review Interface¶
Each asset shows:
- Content preview
- Partner approval status
- Inline commenting
- Edit suggestions
- Approve/Reject buttons
Publishing & Distribution¶
Coordinated Publishing¶
Schedule content across both partners' channels:
Publishing Options:
- Simultaneous: Both partners publish at same time
- Staggered: Partner A first, Partner B 24-48 hours later
- Sequential: Alternating days/weeks
Channels:
| Channel | Integration | Status |
|---|---|---|
| OAuth API | Available | |
| Blog (WordPress) | API integration | Coming soon |
| Email (SendGrid) | API integration | Coming soon |
| Twitter/X | OAuth API | Coming soon |
Distribution Strategy¶
AI recommends optimal distribution:
Recommendation:
- LinkedIn (Partner A): Tuesday 9am EST
- LinkedIn (Partner B): Tuesday 11am EST
- Email (Partner A): Tuesday 2pm EST
- Email (Partner B): Wednesday 9am EST
Rationale:
- B2B engagement peaks Tuesday-Thursday
- Staggered timing extends reach window
- Partner B email delayed to avoid inbox competition
Campaign Management¶
Dashboard View¶
The campaign dashboard shows:

Editing Campaigns¶
You can edit active campaigns:

Approval Reset
Editing approved content resets approval status. Both partners must re-approve.
Pausing & Canceling¶
Pause: Temporarily stop publishing, resume later Cancel: End campaign, archive content
Best Practices¶
1. Align on Goals First¶
Before content creation, ensure both partners agree on:
- Primary KPIs (leads, pipeline, awareness)
- Success metrics
- Attribution model
- Resource commitment
2. Define Clear Ownership¶
Assign ownership for each asset:
| Owner | Responsibilities |
|---|---|
| Partner A | First draft, primary distribution |
| Partner B | Review, secondary distribution |
| Joint | Co-created, equal distribution |
3. Set Realistic Timelines¶
Account for approval cycles:
Content Creation: 2-3 days
Partner A Review: 2-3 days
Partner B Review: 2-3 days
Revisions: 1-2 days
Buffer: 2-3 days
Total: 10-14 days per asset
4. Maintain Brand Consistency¶
Review merged content for:
- Consistent terminology
- Balanced partner representation
- Unified messaging
- Proper logo usage
5. Track Everything¶
Use UTM parameters for attribution:
