# Client review- approval links that need no client account

Source: https://nexoflow.ai/client-review

One link a client opens with no login to approve, comment on or reject a month of content before any of it publishes.

## What it is

No account, no password, no “can you add me as a user”. Your client opens one link, reads the month's content, and approves or sends it back with a reason.

Client approval is where content pipelines actually stall. Not because clients are slow, but because asking someone to create an account to read four drafts is enough friction to lose a week. So NexoFlow doesn't ask. The link is the whole login.

links expire in 14 days by default- anywhere from 1 to 90

## Three steps, one link

1. Pick what needs signing off- Bundle a batch of drafts into one review. Autopilot can do this for you at the end of every cycle.
2. Send the link- Your client opens it on their phone. No account, no install, nothing to remember. It expires on the schedule you set.
3. Approved goes to the calendar- Approvals are scheduled automatically. Rejections come back tagged with what was wrong, so you know what to change.

## Where this earns its keep

- The client who won't make an account- The most common blocker in agency work, removed entirely. They click a link and they're reviewing.
- Sign-off from a phone, in a queue- The review page is built to be read and actioned on mobile, which is where approvals actually happen.
- Autopilot's own review queue- Run Autopilot in review mode and every cycle arrives as one of these links- the same mechanism, pointed at you instead of a client.
- Feedback you can act on- Rejections carry a reason tag- tone, accuracy, brand, SEO, length, visual- instead of “can you redo this”.

## A public link, properly locked down

A URL anyone can open has to be built carefully. Here's what makes it safe to send.

- Unguessable, and never stored in the clear- Each link carries 32 bytes of randomness, and NexoFlow keeps only a hash of it- the token itself isn't sitting in the database.
- It expires- Fourteen days by default, anywhere from one to ninety. An old link in an old email stops working.
- Publishing is genuinely blocked- While a review is pending and unapproved, that content cannot publish. It's an enforced gate, not a reminder to be careful.
- Approval schedules it- An approved post moves to the calendar automatically, so nothing waits on someone remembering to press the next button.
- Rejection is specific- Seven reason tags turn “I don't like it” into something you can fix on the next pass.
- Edits reset the sign-off- If you change a post after it was reviewed, its approval resets- so a client never gets credited for approving something they didn't see.

Available on the Agency plan: Client review is an Agency-tier feature, because that's who needs it: people shipping content on someone else's behalf who have to prove it was signed off. If you're reviewing your own work, Autopilot's review mode gives you the same approval queue on every plan.

## What your client sees, and what you get back- They see

- one link- No account, no password, no install
- the full batch- Every post in the cycle, in one place
- per-post detail- Open any single item on its own page
- approve- One tap, and it's scheduled
- request changes- With a reason tag attached

## What your client sees, and what you get back- You get

- tone- Reads wrong for the brand
- accuracy- Something stated is not correct
- brand- Off-brand claim, name, or positioning
- seo- Keyword or search concern
- length- Too long or too short
- visual- The image needs to change

## Common questions

Does my client really not need an account? Correct. The review link is the credential. They open the URL and can read the content and approve or reject it without creating anything or signing in anywhere.

Isn't a public link risky? It's built for it. The token is 32 bytes of randomness- not guessable- and NexoFlow only stores a hash of it rather than the token itself. Links expire, fourteen days by default, and you can set anything from one to ninety.

What stops something publishing before the client approves? An enforced block. While a review item is active and not approved, that content cannot publish. It isn't a warning you can click past.

What happens when they approve? The post is scheduled automatically. Rejections go the other way- the content is pulled back out of the schedule and returned to you with the reason tag the client picked.

What if I edit a post after it's been approved? The approval resets, so the post needs signing off again. That keeps the record honest about what your client actually saw.

Which plan includes this? The Agency plan. If you only need to review your own work rather than a client's, Autopilot's review mode gives you the same batch-approval queue on any plan.
