The Problem

The client approved it. But which version?

A draft changes after sign-off. The approval stays in another thread. Now someone has to work out what the client actually approved.

Context gets scattered

The brief, brand voice, latest draft, and decision live apart. The team has to piece them back together.

Versions stop matching

The approval names one version. The draft ready for handoff contains changes the client has not reviewed.

Handoff needs another check

Before passing it on, someone has to confirm who approved what—and when.

If your process already connects the decision to the reviewed draft, keep it. If it takes a search to confirm, that is the gap to close.

No Client Logins

Your client gets one focused place to review and decide.

Send a time-limited magic link. The invited reviewer can view the submitted draft, comment, approve, or request changes without joining the agency workspace.

An illustrated path from invitation to decision
  1. An invitation by email

    Sam receives a review link from the agency. He opens it without creating an account.

    Email → review link

  2. The draft, in context

    The submitted version opens for Sam to read, with space to leave feedback on the work.

    Submitted draft + comments

  3. A decision on record

    Sam can approve or request changes. His decision stays connected to the version he reviewed.

    Reviewer + version + decision

Reviewer access is free on every plan. Links are time-limited and revocable.

Meet Flo

Flo helps prepare the draft. The sign-off stays human.

Flo helps your team check and revise a draft before human review. Flo doesn't have an approve button.

A check before your reviewer sees it

AI Review checks the draft against your team's review checklist and flags items for a person to review.

Answers from the draft itself

When a revision comes back, chat with Flo right in the editor to track down the passage in question, rework a section, or get an answer about the draft, without pulling a teammate off another job to explain it.

Drafting help, when your team wants it

Hand Flo a rough ask and it builds a full content brief; from there it can draft in the brand voice you've set for that client.

Try Flo on the next piece headed for review.

AI credits are included on every plan, including Free. See how Flo works

Content Planning

Approval starts before
a single word is written.

The Writerflow content calendar connects planning to approval. Schedule content, create detailed briefs, and assign writers. Keep that context alongside the draft when it goes for review.

Visual content calendar

Every client's content on one calendar, with drag-and-drop scheduling and filters by status, type, or writer.

Structured briefs

Define audience, tone, keywords, and format requirements in a structured brief. Writers get clarity before they start.

Built for mobile

Review the calendar, read briefs, and approve content from your phone. No laptop required.
