Reasons posts may not appear in the 'Awaiting Approvals' section.
In this article, we will cover:
- Why posts may skip the “Awaiting Approvals” section
- How team permissions affect approval visibility
- The importance of selecting the correct team during post creation
- FAQs
If you're expecting a post to appear in the "Awaiting Approvals" section but it's missing, there are typically two main reasons:
The Approver Is Also the Creator
If the person who has approval rights is the one creating or scheduling the post, it will not appear in the "Awaiting Approvals" section.
✅ Tip: Ensure that someone without approval permissions is creating the post so it can go through the approval process.
The Team Was Not Selected in the Post Composer
When composing a post, make sure to select the correct team from the dropdown in the composer.
If you manually select accounts from the "All Accounts" list and not through a team, the post will not be routed for approval.
✅ Tip: Always select the relevant team to activate the approval workflow properly.
FAQs
- Why don’t I see posts pending my approval even though I’m a team approver?
If you're also the one who created the post, it won't go through the approval step.
- Can a post be manually pushed into the approval queue?
No, approvals are triggered automatically based on roles and team selections.
- I selected accounts but skipped selecting a team. Why isn’t the post awaiting approval?
Approval logic only works when posts are created within the context of a team.
