Client Approval Software for Agencies

Chasing client approvals over email is slow, disorganised, and creates version confusion. ClientProof gives every deliverable a clear approval workflow attached to the project page — clients review, click approve, and the decision is logged in context with a timestamp. No email thread hunting, no "which version did they approve?" confusion, no lost confirmations.

Approval workflows that stay visible and permanently auditable

Email approval chains are the hidden drain on agency delivery velocity. A file goes out, the client replies with "looks good" three days later in a thread buried under other messages, and someone has to manually track whether every deliverable got a sign-off. When a scope dispute arises six weeks later, no one can easily surface what was approved and when. ClientProof replaces that chaos with a structured approval workflow built into the project page. When you upload a deliverable or complete a milestone, you can mark it as requiring approval. The client receives the link, opens the project page without any login, and can review all open approval requests in one view — alongside the files, status updates, and milestone context they need to make an informed decision. Approvals are logged instantly with the approver name, timestamp, and the exact deliverable that was approved. The audit trail stays visible to both the agency team and the client, so there is never a dispute about what was signed off. If a client requests a change on something they already approved, you have a clear record showing when the original approval was given. For agencies running creative or development projects, this removes an enormous amount of administrative overhead. Approvals stop getting lost, version confusion is eliminated because each approval is linked to a specific file version, and clients can batch-approve multiple items in a single session rather than sending individual email replies.

Teams usually adopt this workflow to reduce repeated recap messages, avoid tool-switching confusion, and give clients one clear destination for updates, files, and decisions.

Frequently asked questions

Do clients need to create an account to approve deliverables?

No. Clients open the shared project link and can approve any open deliverables directly from that page without creating an account, downloading an app, or entering a password. The entire approval interaction happens through the browser in seconds.

Where does the approval history live and who can see it?

Every approval is logged permanently in the project timeline. Both your team and the client can see the full approval history, including who approved what, when, and for which specific deliverable or milestone. This audit trail is particularly useful when scope disputes arise.

Can approvals be linked to specific files or versions?

Yes. Approvals are attached to specific deliverables and milestones rather than floating in a thread. When a client approves version 2 of a logo file, that approval is connected to that specific file, not just a general project sign-off.

Can teams require approval before moving to the next milestone?

Yes. You can structure milestones so that an approval on the current phase is required before the next milestone is surfaced to the client. This creates a clear gated delivery flow that keeps projects progressing in order without manual tracking.

Is there a notification when a client approves?

Yes. Your team is notified when a client submits an approval, so you can immediately move forward without checking the project page manually. The approval status is also reflected on the project dashboard in real time.
