Pulse basics · Lesson 2 of 4

The journey every post takes

Every post shows a journey bar: who has it now, and what happens next. Learn to read it and its statuses.

The comic

  1. Panel 1 of 3.

    At the top of every post…

    Polly says: Every post has a journey bar. With sign-off it has three steps: “Write and design” by your team, “Client approval” by the client, then “Goes out”, which Pulse does.
  2. Panel 2 of 3.
    Polly says: Along the way a post has a status: “Draft”, “Being designed”, “Ready”, “With client”, “Approved”, “Scheduled”, then “Published”. Clients see friendlier words, like “Your approval needed”.
  3. Panel 3 of 3.
    Polly says: When something goes wrong, the step shows it: “Changes asked” when the client wants a change, or “Didn't publish” when a platform refused the post. Either way, the post tells you what to do next.
