How to review a post in Metricool

Have you been assigned to review a post? You can check the content and approve or reject it in just a few clicks, either from your email or within Metricool.

There are three ways to do it:

• From the email notification, without needing to log in to Metricool. This applies if you don't have an account, or if the creator of the content enabled the email notification.
• From the My Tasks section, if you have a Metricool account (any plan works).
• Or via Bulk actions, to manage multiple posts at once and save time.

We’ll walk you through each option step by step, along with what to keep in mind if you're one of the assigned reviewers.

How to review a post from the email

If you’ve received an email from Metricool to review a post, you don’t need to access the platform — you can manage everything from that same email.

Follow these steps:

1. Open the review email

• Check your inbox. You’ll receive an email with the subject: "New post pending review".
• Inside, click the green button that says: "Review post" 👉 Click to continue.

2. View the post

A preview will open showing all the post details:

• Post text
• Image or video (if any)
• Social network it’s scheduled for
• Scheduled date and time

Now’s the time to check if everything looks good.

3. Choose an action: approve or reject

At the bottom of the preview, you’ll see two buttons:

• Approve ✅: The post will be marked as approved. If all required reviewers agree, it will be published as scheduled.
• Reject ❌: The post will be marked as rejected. You can add a note if you wish.

⚠️ Important: If you reject a post, it won’t be published, even if others approve it.

4. Confirmation

After clicking, you’ll see a confirmation screen with the updated status.

You’re done!

How to review a post from "My tasks"

If you have a Metricool account, you can also review posts assigned to you directly from the My tasks section — no email required.

Follow these steps to do it from the platform:

1. Log into your Metricool account

Use your usual credentials to access Metricool.

2. Go to the “My tasks” section

Click the menu icon (☰) to open the side panel.

Select My tasks.

💡 If you have pending tasks, you’ll see a visual indicator in the menu.

3. See your assigned posts

You’ll see a list of all the posts assigned to you.

Click on the one you want to review.

4. Review the content

You’ll see a preview of the post: text, image or video, social network, and scheduled date.

Check that everything looks right.

5. Choose whether to approve or reject

At the bottom, you’ll find two buttons:

• Approve ✅: The post will be marked as approved and move to the next status, based on the review criteria.
• Reject ❌: The post will be marked as rejected. You can leave a note if needed.

⚠️ Remember: If any reviewer rejects the post, it will not be published.

6. Confirm your action

You’ll see a notification confirming your decision.

Once approved or rejected, you don’t need to do anything else.

How to approve or reject posts in bulk

If you have a Metricool account, you can review multiple posts at once from the planning section.

Here’s how:

1. Log in to Metricool and go to Planning > List.
2. Select the posts you want to review.
3. Click on Bulk actions.
4. Choose either Approve ✅ or Reject ❌.

💡 You’ll only be able to bulk review posts that were assigned to you for approval.

ℹ️ What happens after approving or rejecting?

This depends on how many reviewers were assigned and the criteria selected by the creator:

You can see the updated status right after your decision.

If there are more reviewers, the post will remain pending until all decisions are made.

📝 Important notes if you’re a collaborator

• You don’t need a Metricool account to review posts — you can do it directly from your email.
• If you don’t have an account, you’ll always receive an email for each post assigned to you.
• If you have a Metricool account, you may not receive an email if the notification was disabled. In that case, check the My tasks section in Metricool.
• If you reject the post, it will be automatically cancelled.
• If the post is edited after being sent for review, the creator will need to send it again for you to review.

❓Frequently asked questions

Can I review a post without a Metricool account?

Yes. You can approve or reject it directly from the email—no login needed.

Can I reject a post even if someone else approved it?

Yes. Rejection always takes priority: if one reviewer rejects it, it won’t be published.
