How It Works

Four steps to deadline-driven approvals

Set it, forget it, and let the system handle the follow-up.

Set deadline when requesting review

When you assign reviewers, set a due date. Each reviewer can have their own deadline if needed.

Silence = approval

If a reviewer doesn't respond by the deadline, their silence counts as approval. Configurable per workflow. The pipeline moves forward.

Why It Matters

Agencies lose hours every week
chasing approvals

Silence-as-approval is the only ethical way to break the deadlock. The reviewer was given every opportunity to respond — notification, reminders, and a clear deadline. If they chose not to engage, the work moves forward.

One reviewer holds up everything

A single unresponsive reviewer can stall an entire project. Campaigns miss launch dates. Content goes stale. Revenue is lost while waiting.

Manual follow-up is a full-time job

Project managers spend hours every week sending "gentle reminder" emails. That's billable time wasted on administrative overhead instead of creative work.

Silence-as-approval keeps work moving

Every reviewer gets ample notice and reminders. If they don't respond, the workflow advances automatically. Fair, transparent, and unstoppable.

Key Capabilities

Deadlines that actually
get enforced.

Per-reviewer deadlines

Set different deadlines for different reviewers. Internal team gets 1 day, client gets 3 days. Each reviewer sees only their own deadline.

Automated email reminders

Configure reminder frequency: 2 days before, 1 day before, day of. Reminders go out automatically — no manual follow-up needed.

Silence-as-approval

Opt-in per workflow. If a reviewer doesn't respond by the deadline, their silence counts as approval. Reviewers are clearly notified of this policy upfront.

Overdue tracking dashboard

See all overdue reviews at a glance. Know who's blocking what, how late they are, and which projects are at risk — across all active documents.

Configurable per workflow

Set different deadline durations and reminder schedules for each workflow. Match the urgency of each review to the right follow-up pace.

Full audit trail

Every deadline, reminder, and auto-approval is logged. Know exactly when reminders were sent and when silence-as-approval triggered.

Stop chasing approvals. Let deadlines do the work.

Automated reminders and silence-as-approval mean your pipeline never stalls on an unresponsive reviewer.
