Approval preferences control when daoco must pause and ask before sensitive actions run in brand chat, post workflows, automations, and connected integrations.

​
Where to manage preferences

Brand owners and admins set defaults per brand:
1

Open Settings

Choose Settings from the manage sidebar.
2

Open the Brands tab

Select the brand you want to configure.
3

Find Approval gate

Use the Approval gate card to set brand-wide defaults.
These defaults apply across connected social accounts and integrations for that brand. Individual users cannot make approval behavior more permissive than the brand default.

​
Policy types

Both policies default to Auto when connected for new brands.

​
Approval modes

​
Automations and chat

Scheduled automations follow the same approval rules. If a run needs approval and no policy allows bypass, the automation pauses until someone approves or denies the action. Run history can show approval audit events with the decision, action type, and policy that applied. See Automations.
