QA checklists
Create custom quality-assurance checklists and attach them to campaigns or assets to add a layer of vigilance before anything gets handed off, scheduled, or deployed.
Step-by-step guide
Creating a QA checklist
Navigate to the QA checklists section and create a new checklist. You can create as many checklists as you need (e.g. one for emails, another for SMS). Configure:
- Default checklist — Optionally mark one as the default so it auto-selects when creating new campaigns.
- Associated themes and content types — Tag the checklist with relevant campaign types (e.g. Email, SMS) for organizational purposes.
Adding checklist items
Build out your checklist by adding line items. Each item has:
- Label — A description of what to check (e.g. "Check campaign naming convention is correct", "Validate segments").
- Required toggle — Mark whether the item must be checked for the QA status to be considered approved.
Items are drag-and-drop reorderable so you can set the sequence that makes sense for your team's workflow. You can also clone an existing checklist to use it as a starting point for a new one.
How QA approval works
The QA status is determined by the required items. For example, if a checklist has 3 items and 2 are marked required, the status will show as Approved (green) once those 2 required items are checked — even if the optional item is still unchecked. The progress indicator will always show the total count (e.g. "2 out of 3 items checked").
Attaching a checklist to a campaign
When creating or editing a campaign, scroll to the checklist section and select one of your saved checklists. The campaign will then display:
- A QA status indicator (Not Approved / Approved).
- A progress count of checked items (e.g. "0 out of 2 items checked").
When it's time to review, edit the campaign, go through each checklist item, and check them off. Save the campaign to update the QA status.
Attaching a checklist to an asset
The same functionality is available on assets. When editing an asset, select a QA checklist from the dropdown. The asset will display its own QA status and progress count, independent of any campaign-level checklist.
Tips
- Create separate checklists for different campaign types — an email QA checklist will have different items than an SMS or paid ad checklist.
- Mark only the critical items as required. Optional items are still visible and trackable, but won't block the Approved status.
- QA checklists can also be pre-attached to campaigns via initiative templates, so recurring campaigns come with their checklist already assigned.
