Approval Process for Social Media Posts (with Notifications)

HubSpot needs to have an approval process for Social Posts that send notifications for post approval to authorized users.

  1. User A drafts a post and submits it for approval
  2. User B gets a notification (email, slack, push, sms etc) that an approval is pending
  3. User B can approve or deny post

It's poor that Hubspot not able to manage the social approval process! Really missing feature!

What a great idea! We use a different system to publish social media posts, but I used to use HubSpot and this would have been a great feature to have. (Maybe we'd even go back to using it, if this was available).

Hi, any idea when this feature will be released?

With no approval mechanism we have to use a separate tool.

Following this, a solid approval process is holding us back from using HubSpot to schedule our social, we have to use another tool.

Also following up and following.

 

My team is switching to Hubspot and was suprised to find we have approvals for Landing pages and blogs but not social when social is far more important in today's landscape

 

@Leeyman Any updates since this went "In Planning"?

Hi, I saw that the above request is in the planning. Can you also outline an expectation of date/period of launching the Beta version of the approval process in social media? In any case, our team can't wait!

 

Thank you very much in advance!

This was suggested in 2018. Has there been any progress?

Looking for updates as well. Company just switched to HubSpot. I manage social media and am trying to learn as much as possible.

Can't believe this very basic feature was suggested in 2018 and it's still not implemented. 7 years is a lifetime. Have Hubspot given up on Social or is there any will at all to get this working as it should?

I'm more interested in the fact that it was changed to "in planning" late in 2023. 🤔 Would be cool to get some info on how that's going. Maybe it's ready for a beta?

Hey there - I recently had a conversation with the product owner and a developer about this addition, and while they (obviously) did not share the exact timeline for development and launch with me, tehy're definitely working on it. Based on that conversation, what I can tell y'all is that it'll ride on similar rails to email / landing page / blog approvals, with some additional customization around the particulars of social media. 

 

Is this a thing they should've launched with the other approvals? Probably. Does HubSpot take their time on some things we all wanted years ago? You bet. Do they abide by the ideal of Crafted Not Cobbled? You know it. 

 

It's being crafted. It's coming. 🕺

And can we have it at a "less than Enterprise" level of Marketing Hub?  Many smaller companies also need this type of formal approval process.
