The surprise happens between draft and action
Imagine approving an article for a company blog, then discovering that a revised headline went to the wrong WordPress site. The draft was good. The approval process failed because it did not keep the reviewed version, website, action, and decision together.
A practical approval process answers four questions before anything goes public: What did the person review? Where will it appear? Who approved it? How will AI Promo Services confirm the live result? Different channels answer those questions differently.
Use the right approval for each public action
AI Promo Services separates preparation from publishing, then applies the permission that belongs to each channel. Review mode and automatic publishing are two WordPress publication modes. Reddit replies and direct outreach each require their own decision. Momentum Network starts only after the account owner turns it on for one website and selects which articles may participate. Each choice remains separate.
Approvals can also expire or be withdrawn. AI Promo Services records who approved an action or enabled a rule, when it began, and when it ended.
| Action | Who decides | What the approval covers |
|---|---|---|
| Article in review mode | A person reviews the finished article and WordPress destination. | Changing the article or destination requires another review. |
| Automatic publishing | The account owner turns on automatic publishing after saving the brand profile and publishing rules for one website. | Only articles that follow those rules may publish. A conflict, missing fact, or different destination returns to review. The owner can pause automatic publishing. |
| Reddit reply | A person reviews the selected thread and proposed reply. | A different thread or revised reply needs another approval. AI Promo Services checks an unclear result before trying again. |
| Direct outreach | A person reviews the recipient and message after consent and do-not-contact checks. | A draft, contact discovery result, or campaign idea cannot send a message. |
| Momentum Network | The account owner turns the network on for one property and selects the eligible articles. | While enabled, AI Promo Services may maintain only relevant references for those articles, at most one active reference per eligible article, with the visible relationship disclosure and rel="sponsored nofollow". The owner can pause the network or remove an article at any time. |
Bind the decision to one review card
A useful review card shows the reader and purpose, finished version, claims and sources, unresolved facts, destination, requested action, connection status, and available decisions. The reviewer can approve, edit, request changes, defer, export, or reject.
The interface must not shape uncertainty like success. Missing credentials are not a live connection. A provider timeout is not a verified post. An unavailable consent record is not permission to send.
- Article: the finished version the customer reviewed.
- Destination: the connected WordPress website and planned page address.
- Approval: customer review or the saved automatic-publishing rules for that website.
- Sources: links, claim notes, and every unresolved fact.
- Live check: public URL, publication status, content match, and time checked.
Show the real status from draft to live page
Every article should show a status a customer can understand. Prepared means the draft exists. Ready to publish means its sources and destination are complete. Publishing means AI Promo Services sent the approved request and is waiting for WordPress. Live and checked means AI Promo Services opened the public URL and matched the page to the approved article. Rejected means WordPress returned a clear failure. Result unclear means the connection ended before AI Promo Services could verify what happened.
| Status | What it means | What happens next |
|---|---|---|
| Prepared | A draft exists; nothing public happened. | Edit, complete evidence, or discard. |
| Ready to publish | The sources, article, and destination are complete. | Publish under the selected review or automatic-publishing mode. |
| Publishing | AI Promo Services sent the approved request and is waiting for WordPress to finish. | Wait for WordPress and check the live page. |
| Live and checked | The public URL opens and its content matches the approved article. | Save the live-page check and begin measurement. |
| Rejected | WordPress returned a clear failure and the public-page check found no article. | Fix the named problem, review any changed article, and try again. |
| Result unclear | The connection ended before AI Promo Services could verify whether WordPress published the article. | Check the live page before trying again. |
How AI Promo Services confirms a WordPress article was published
WordPress’s official REST API reference for posts documents post IDs, links, status, title, content, and other returned fields. AI Promo Services uses that response as one input, then opens the public page before calling the article live. This fictional example shows what a useful confirmation includes.
| Check | Fictional confirmed value |
|---|---|
| Article version | Version 7 of the graduation group dinner article |
| Approval | The owner approved version 7 for this website |
| Website | WordPress recorded post 1842 as published |
| Public result | https://example.com/graduation-group-dinner/ returned successfully |
| Live page | Title, article body, links, and page address matched version 7 |
| Date checked | August 4, 2026 at 3:24 PM UTC |
If the publishing result is unclear, check the live page first
Suppose WordPress accepts a create request, but the connection closes before AI Promo Services receives the post ID. AI Promo Services checks the planned public URL and searches WordPress for the reviewed title and content. If the article is live, it records the result. If WordPress confirms the article is absent, AI Promo Services can try again under the same publishing mode. Checking first prevents the same article from being posted twice.
The same principle applies to Reddit. Reddit’s official API documentation defines its actions and responses, while AI Promo Services also checks the comment ID, public URL, and exact text on the approved thread. If the first result is unclear, AI Promo Services checks the thread before another posting attempt.
Make human judgment scarce and visible
A strong system does not make the owner write every first draft. It asks for judgment where judgment matters: business truth, taste, public claims, timing, and which automatic work the owner has turned on. Research, formatting, source checks, metadata, publication preparation, live-page checks, and measurement can move around that decision.
Momentum Engine makes that division concrete. The review card shows what needs a decision. Automatic publishing handles only work that follows the saved website rules. Reddit and direct outreach keep their own approval steps. Momentum Network operates under its separate setting. Every public action ends with a confirmed result or an honest unresolved state.
