Get creative approved without the version chaos.

Patricia routes each draft to the right owner: brand lead, legal when it's needed, founder for the final yes. Feedback lands in one thread, she tracks which version is approved and which is waiting, and she chases the ones that stall. Nothing publishes without that yes.

๐Ÿ–ผ๏ธ New for review: spring launch, 3 statics + 1 video (v2).

  • Sign-off needed from Owen (brand) and Iris (legal)
  • Then to the owner for the final yes
  • Two open comments from v1 carried over and marked resolved

@Pati I'm the final yes on this one. Ping me when Owen and Iris are in.

Owen and Iris both approved, so it's with you for the final yes. I'll chase on Thursday if it's still open, and once you approve I'll lock v2 as the approved version so nothing else goes live by mistake.

How small teams do this today.

Getting a creative approved is a scavenger hunt across email, chat and three folders named final.

Final_v3_REALLY_final

Nobody is sure which version actually got the yes, so the wrong one goes live and the fix eats a day.

The approval stuck in an inbox

The asset was sent for sign-off a week ago and nobody chased, so the launch slips and nobody can say which version was final.

The proofing tool nobody logs into

A per-seat approval platform sits in the stack, but half the team never opens it, so the loop happens in Slack anyway, untracked.

What it looks like when she owns it.

Approvals task in Patricia: a scheduled task that checks each morning which creative is still waiting on sign-off, nudges the reviewers who have stalled, and posts what is pending to the channel, with recent runs listed
She keeps the approval loop moving: routing each draft to its owner, tracking which version is signed off, and chasing whatever has stalled.
Integrations in Patricia with Figma, Google Drive and Slack connected, so she can pull the creative, track versions, and run the approval loop in Slack
Connect where the creative lives. She pulls the asset from Figma or Drive and runs the whole sign-off loop in Slack.

Setup

Running in minutes, then it's hers.

Step 1

Add Patricia to Slack

She joins your workspace like any teammate. Two minutes, no engineering.

Step 2

Connect where the creative lives

Figma and Google Drive, so she can pull the asset, the version, and the open comments into the review.

Step 3

Set the approval path

Who owns brand, who owns legal review, who gives the final yes, and in what order. She routes every draft that way.

Step 4

She runs the loop

Routes each draft, tracks the approved version, and chases whatever stalls, so nothing sits in an inbox and the wrong version never goes live.

What she takes off your plate.

Real behavior of the skill, not a feature list.

Routes the sign-off in order

Brand lead first, legal when the asset needs it, then the owner for the final yes, in the path you set, so a draft never skips a step or goes out half-approved.

Tracks the approved version

She locks the version that got the final yes, so final_v3_really_final stops being a guess and the right file goes live.

Chases what stalls

When an approval has sat for a couple of days she nudges the reviewer, so the launch does not slip because someone forgot.

Keeps feedback in one thread

Open notes from the last round follow the asset, marked resolved or not, so feedback stops scattering across DMs and email.

No separate proofing login

The whole loop runs in Slack where the team already is, not in a per-seat tool half of them never open.

Keeps the audit trail

Who approved what, and when, kept automatically, so there is never a debate about who gave the final yes.

Things to ask her on day one.

FAQ

Creative approvals, answered.

Does this replace our proofing tool?

For most small teams, yes. The sign-off loop runs in Slack where the team already works, with versions tracked and approvals chased, so you are not paying a seat per person for a tool half of them never open.

How does she know which version is approved?

She tracks each version as it moves through the path and locks the one that got the final yes, so the approved file is unambiguous and the wrong one does not go live.

Can more than one person sign off?

Yes. You set the path, brand lead first, legal when the asset needs it, then the owner for the final yes, and she routes every draft that way and only moves on when each step is done.

What about feedback across rounds?

Open comments follow the asset from version to version in one thread, marked resolved or not, so nothing gets lost between v1 and v2.

Is this all Patricia does?

No. Approvals are one job. The same teammate handles creative production, social publishing, and the rest of the work your team hands her, all in the same Slack.

One of the jobs teams hand her. See more content & social use cases or browse them all.

Everybody deserves a Patricia.
