Collaboration & Approvals

Feedback and approvals, built into the campaign

No more screenshots in Slack, PDF markups, or approval-by-email-thread. Comments and sign-off happen on the campaign itself, pinned to the exact module they're about. Reviewers outside your company join from a private link.

Review, fix, approve, and ship. All in one place.

Review

Feedback that lives on the campaign

No more feedback in email threads, Slack messages, or spreadsheets. Pin comments directly on the email preview, keep the discussion threaded, and resolve items as they're fixed.

  • Pin comments to the exact spot
    Click anywhere on the email preview to drop a pin. Comments anchor to the specific module you clicked and remember whether you were looking at the desktop or mobile view.
  • Threads, resolve, and reopen
    Every comment is a thread. Reply, discuss, resolve when done, and reopen if the feedback comes back.
  • @mentions and notifications
    Mention a teammate to pull them in. They get notified in-app and by email, and can filter the comment list to All or just their Mentions.
  • Stale comment detection
    Comments know when the content they’re anchored to has changed since they were written, so reviewers never act on outdated feedback.

The headline should say “Final days” instead of “Last chance”, and can we make the CTA button bigger?

Fix it with Betty in one click

Feedback usually means a round-trip back to whoever built the campaign. Not here. Hand any comment straight to Betty, and she reads the feedback and applies the fix in the campaign.

Because Betty works within your Email Design System, every fix stays on-brand. Reviewers describe the change; Betty makes it happen.

Sign-off

Approve or request changes

Every approver makes one of two decisions on the latest revision. Teammates and external reviewers get the same two buttons, and both decisions are recorded on the campaign.

Approve

Signs off on the current revision. Reviewers resolve their own open comments first. An approval can be revoked, and it stops counting when the campaign changes.

Request changes

Sends the reviewer’s open comments to the team as one decision, with an optional summary. It stays on the campaign until the reviewer approves or updates the request.

The request changes dialog, listing the reviewer’s open comment and a short summary of the change they need
  • Required and optional approvers
    Required approvers gate export. Optional approvers are advisory. Anyone who approves without being asked joins as an optional approver.
  • Request, remind, re-request
    Ask for approval in one click. Remind anyone who hasn’t answered, and re-request once the campaign has changed.
  • Approvals tied to a revision
    An approval counts for the revision it was given on. A new revision needs its own approval, so nobody signs off on content they haven’t seen.
  • Readiness at a glance
    The approvals panel shows where sign-off stands, from “Waiting on 2 of 3 required” to “Approved · ready to send”, with every decision in the timeline below.

Approval gating

One organization setting decides what happens when approvals are missing. Warn shows a pre-flight warning. Block stops the campaign from syncing to your ESP until every required approval is in.

External reviewers

Reviewers outside your company, under your logo

Agencies, legal, a partner brand. Invite anyone by email to review a campaign. They open a private link, with no login, on a review page that shows your organization’s logo.

The external review page for the Vandra autumn trail collection campaign. Vandra’s logo sits in the top left corner. The external reviewer has pinned a comment on the headline and requested changes, with Update request and Approve buttons in the top bar.
The Add approvers dialog on the Someone outside Vandra tab, with an email address, name, required approval, and a message for the reviewerThe external review page on a phone, with the Vandra logo at the top and Update request and Approve buttons at the bottom
  • Your logo on the review page
    The page an external reviewer opens carries your organization’s logo in the top corner, next to the campaign they were asked to review.
  • No account, no seat
    External reviewers aren’t users of your organization. They need no password, don’t take a seat, and their link opens one campaign. They never see your other campaigns or your internal comments.
  • The same decisions as your team
    They pin comments, approve, or request changes, on desktop or mobile. A required external reviewer counts toward the export gate like a required teammate.
  • You control the link
    Links expire after 30 days. Copy, resend, or turn off a link, switch a reviewer between required and optional, or remove them.
