Set up Review Groups

Create approval workflows by grouping users who must approve an email before it can be sent.

Updated over a week ago

Overview

Review Groups let you define a structured, multi-stage email approval process. Each group can include one or more users. Each stage of the approval must be completed before the email moves to the next. Note: This feature is requires admin access.


How Review Groups Work

  • You must be part of a Review Group to approve emails.

  • Users must have “Approval” access to be added. Learn more about Permissions and Roles.

  • Review stages can be set to require:

    • Approval from all users in that stage, or

    • Approval from just one user to proceed.


Example Workflow

To explain this further let's look at this approval group:

  • Stage 1: Mikayla or Shaira can approve (only one needed)

  • Stage 2: Josh and Nadia can approve (only one needed).

  • Stage 3: Angie must approve alone.

If anyone requests changes, the email returns to Stage 1 and restarts the approval process.

Tip: Add your most senior approver to the final stage to minimize back-and-forth reviews.
