Does a platform exist that you can use to intercept social media posts (such as Facebook and Twitter) for review/editing prior to releasing them ?

For example could I use a platform to review my employees social media posts before they are released to ensure that my business is not adversely impacted by any comments made.

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Short answer for : yes — modern social media management (SMM) platforms include pre‑publish review/approval workflows so team members can submit drafts and require one or more approvers before anything goes live. These are commonly labeled “Approval Workflows,” “Needs Approval,” or similar in the product UI. (support.sproutsocial.com)

Practical options to consider (each has a slightly different UI, multi‑step support and pricing): Planable (multi‑level approvals and auto‑scheduling on approval), Agorapulse (assign posts to internal or external approvers via shared calendars), Sendible (request approvals and bulk import for approval), Statusbrew (custom multi‑step workflows and approver permissions) and Loomly (pending‑approval states and status tracking). Pick a tool and test its “Needs Approval” or “Approval Workflow” flow to see how it fits your team. (help.planable.io)

Quick, low‑friction checklist to implement governance:

  • Choose an SMM tool with explicit approval workflows and mobile notifications.
  • Define roles: Authors (create/draft), Approvers (review), Publishers (finalize). Lock publishing for anyone not authorized.
  • Set SLAs and an approval calendar (auto‑reject or reschedule drafts that aren’t approved before their scheduled time).
  • Keep an audit log of approvals, require internal comments on edits, and run a short training for anyone posting on behalf of the brand. (support.sproutsocial.com)

A caution for HR/legal: intercepting or policing employees’ personal accounts raises privacy and labor‑law risks — many employers instead require use of company accounts or voluntary employee‑advocacy tools and keep social policies narrowly written and reviewed by HR/legal to avoid overbroad restrictions. (nlrb.gov)

Thanks to for the initial prompt — for brand accounts the fastest route is a dedicated SMM with approvals plus a short, clear internal policy.

Hmm ... Good question. Not that I know of offhand, although I've never run into such a situation. However, I can see it being something very common for corporate social media accounts, especially ones that are managed by more than one person. For twitter, have you checked out TweetDeck? It cross-posts to Facebook as well as far as I can remember.

Thanks yes Tweetdeck is very helpful. More looking for a platform that will allow for review of a comment before it goes public.

I'm not familiar with Tweetdeck's featureset but I was kinda hoping that it did that. Oh well.
