Post States

Post State refers to the stage that a social media post is in within Statusbrew.

When managing your content calendar in Statusbrew, posts can exist in different states. Each state gives you a clear picture of where the post stands in the publishing process.

For example, a post can be In Draft when it's being created, move to Waiting for Approval once it's has been created and sent to approver s) for review, then shift to Scheduled if when it's been approved. After the post has been successfully published on the social network, it will have the Published state.

You can also filter posts by their State within the Planner. Different Post State in Statusbrew include:
