A social media approval workflow,
with a person approving every post.

The short answer

ReelGenie doesn’t make or edit videos. It posts finished ones, only to TikTok, Instagram and YouTube. Saving never publishes: a saved post waits, private, for review. An owner or admin of your team sees the exact files, the caption and each account’s settings, then approves each delivery. If the files, caption, accounts or time change after approval, ReelGenie doesn’t send the post until someone approves it again. Each account then shows its own result.

How the approval workflow runs

1. Your agent saves the finished post

   Claude, Claude Code, Codex or you upload the finished MP4 or images to ReelGenie with a title, caption and hashtags. ReelGenie checks the file and keeps a fingerprint of it. The post waits for review; nothing is sent.

2. A person opens the review

   The post shows the original video or images in a phone frame, the caption, title and hashtags, and the checks for each account you pick. What you watch is the file that will be sent.

3. The person approves each account

   Choose the exact TikTok, Instagram and YouTube accounts, the settings for each one, and post now, at a time, or at each account’s next free posting time. Review the delivery, then confirm it.

4. ReelGenie sends what was approved

   At the posting time, ReelGenie compares the post with what was approved. If the files, caption, accounts, TikTok mode or time changed, it sends nothing and asks for a new approval.

5. Each account shows its own result

   Every account gets its own row on the post: Live, In TikTok inbox, Failed with the platform’s reason, and so on. Delivery health lists every recent send.

When Claude or Codex asks to post

• By default, your agent can only ask. It saves the post and can attach a request with the accounts and time it suggests. A person approves it in ReelGenie.
• Approving from the chat is your choice. When you connect Claude or Codex, you can allow “Schedule posts after your explicit approval”. Even then, the agent must show you the exact accounts and time and get your yes in the chat before it approves, and ReelGenie turns down an approval from the agent that doesn’t say you confirmed.
• Only owners and admins approve. Other team members can work on posts but can’t approve them.
• Every approval is recorded on the post’s history, including approvals made from the chat.

What the person approving sees

• The exact files: the original video, or every image in order, as uploaded. ReelGenie doesn’t resize or re-edit them.
• The exact words: the title, caption and hashtags each platform will get.
• Each account and its settings: which account on each platform, when it sends, and the choices below.
• Checks before approval: whether each account is still connected and allowed to post, whether a sign-in will last until the posting time, and whether a platform’s daily limit is used up.

After approval, the post shows the approved copy. To change it, choose Return to review to edit, then approve it again.

Labels and settings the person chooses

• TikTok inbox draft or Direct Post. Most accounts get the post as a draft in the TikTok inbox, and you finish and post it in the TikTok app. Direct Post appears only on accounts where TikTok has enabled it.
• TikTok Direct Post settings: who can view the post (no default, you choose), comments, Duet and Stitch (off unless you turn them on), a promotional or paid-partnership disclosure, and an AI-generated content switch that adds TikTok’s AI-generated label. For an inbox draft, add the label in the TikTok app.
• YouTube: visibility (public unless you choose unlisted or private) and made for kids (yes, no, or your channel’s default if you leave it). ReelGenie has no setting for YouTube’s altered or synthetic content disclosure; set it in YouTube Studio when it applies.
• Instagram: ReelGenie doesn’t set an AI label. Add one in Instagram when it applies.

Check these before you approve. TikTok Direct Post can’t be approved until someone chooses who can view the post, including when Claude or Codex approves after your confirmation. Settings you leave alone keep their defaults: YouTube posts are public, and made for kids follows your channel’s default.

What approval doesn’t change

Approval means a person has seen and chosen each post. It doesn’t change how TikTok, Instagram or YouTube treat it. Each platform decides what counts as reused, repetitive or inauthentic content, which posts can earn money, and who sees a post. ReelGenie can’t promise views, reach or monetisation, and it can’t tell you whether a channel meets a platform’s rules. Read the rules from the platforms themselves:

• YouTube: channel monetization policies (including inauthentic and reused content), disclosing altered or synthetic content and the spam policy.
• TikTok: AI-generated content and the integrity and authenticity guidelines.
• Instagram: labelling AI content and the Community Standards.

Each account shows what happened

After approval, the post shows a row for each account: Waiting to send, Sending, Live, In TikTok inbox, In TikTok’s review, Failed with the platform’s reason, On hold, or Outcome unknown. One account failing doesn’t stop the others. If an account’s last 3 posts fail with the same error, its scheduled posts show On hold and nothing more is sent to it until you reconnect it or resend one. Delivery health lists the last 30 days of sends, what needs your attention, and a Fix and resend button where it can help. Running several accounts? Read how to manage multiple social media accounts.

Questions about approving posts

Does ReelGenie make or edit the video?

No. You, Claude or a video tool make the video, and ReelGenie posts the finished file. ReelGenie doesn’t generate, edit or resize video, and it doesn’t make posts from a web page address. The one kind of link it takes is a finished HeyGen, Canva or Higgsfield download link.

Does saving a post publish it?

No. Saving makes a private post for review. Nothing is sent until a person approves each delivery.

Can Claude or Codex approve a post by itself?

Only after you say yes. It approves only after it has shown you the exact accounts and time and you said yes in the chat. A connection made with an Agents-page token that leaves out publishing can only ask, and a person approves in ReelGenie.

Will daily auto-uploads get my channel flagged under YouTube’s inauthentic content policy?

ReelGenie can’t answer that, and approving a post doesn’t change it. YouTube decides what counts as inauthentic or reused content; read its channel monetization policies. What ReelGenie does is make sure a person has seen each post before it goes out, and show what happened on each account.

Do posts sent through ReelGenie get fewer views?

ReelGenie can’t promise views or reach. It sends the exact file and words you approved, and each platform decides who sees the post.

Can I add an AI-generated label?

For TikTok Direct Post, yes: turn on AI-generated content before you approve. ReelGenie doesn’t set an AI label for TikTok inbox drafts or Instagram, or YouTube’s altered or synthetic content disclosure; add those in TikTok, Instagram or YouTube Studio when they apply.

What if I change the caption after approving?

ReelGenie sends only what was approved. If the files, caption, accounts or time change, it holds the post until someone approves it again.

Who on my team can approve?

Owners and admins. Other members can work on posts but can’t approve them.

Is it free?

Yes, to start. ReelGenie’s free plan includes 30 posts a month, 1 brand and 3 connected accounts. Solo, Team and Agency add brands, accounts and people, with unlimited posts.
