How to approve or reject a scheduled 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.
Good to know
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 do have an account, you may not receive an email if the notification was disabled; in that case, check My Tasks.
If you reject a post, it will be automatically cancelled and won't be published, even if other reviewers approved it.
If the post is edited after being sent for review, the creator will need to send it again for you to review.
If a post has not been approved or rejected by its scheduled time, Metricool applies a grace period of 3 hours: during that time the post still appears in My Tasks and can be approved and published normally. After that grace period, the task disappears and the post remains unapproved.
How to review a post from an email
This video is in English only.
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:
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".
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.
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.
If you reject a post, it won't be published, even if others approve it.
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.
If you have pending tasks, you'll see a visual indicator in the menu next to My Tasks.
Follow these steps to do it from the platform:
Log in to your Metricool account
Use your usual credentials to access Metricool.
Go to the My Tasks section
Click the menu icon (☰) to open the side panel, then select My Tasks.
See your assigned posts
You'll see a list of all the posts assigned to you. Click on the one you want to review.
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.
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.
If any reviewer rejects the post, it will not be published.
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 review posts in bulk
If you have a Metricool account, you can review multiple posts at once from the planning section.
You'll only be able to bulk review posts that were assigned to you for approval.
Here's how:
Log in to Metricool and go to Planning > List.
Select the posts you want to review.
Click on Bulk actions.
Choose either Approve ✅ or Reject ❌.
What happens after you review a post
This depends on how many reviewers were assigned and the criteria selected by the creator:
Approval rule | What happens? |
|---|---|
No reviewer | The post will be published as long as no one rejects it. |
At least one reviewer | It will be published if at least one approves and none reject it. |
All reviewers | Everyone must approve. If one rejects, it won't be published. |
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.
FAQs
Can I review a post without a Metricool account?
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.
