What the comment buttons do: Approve, Skip and react, Skip, Improve draft

What each button in the comment feed does, and how Skip and react is different from Skip.

Written by Denis Bauer

When Extrovert drafts a comment for a post, you review it in your feed and choose what to do. Here is what each button does.

Approve

Approve posts the comment. Extrovert publishes the drafted comment on the post, and by default also likes the post.

Skip and react

Skip and react does not post the comment. It only leaves a like (a reaction) on the post. Use it when you want to acknowledge a post without commenting. This is the button people most often mix up, so to be clear: it reacts, it does not comment.

Skip

Skip passes on the post entirely. No comment and no like. The post moves to your Skipped tab, where you can bring it back later with Move back for approval if you change your mind.

Improve draft

Improve draft lets you adjust the AI comment before posting. You can give instructions to change the tone or length or add a point, or edit the text yourself. When you are happy with it, Approve it.

Next to it are two icon buttons. One regenerates the draft from scratch for a fresh version. The other lets you dictate your instructions out loud instead of typing them.

Quick summary

  • Approve: the comment is posted (plus a like by default)

  • Skip and react: no comment, just a like

  • Skip: nothing happens, the post moves to Skipped

  • Improve draft: edit or regenerate the draft first, then Approve

On the Skipped tab

A skipped post keeps one button: Move back for approval. It returns the post to Need approval with its draft, and the normal buttons come back with it.

On the Error tab

A post lands on Error when Extrovert could not write the comment or could not publish it. You get three buttons:

  • Retry generation: ask the AI to write the draft again

  • Retry posting: try to publish the comment again

  • Move to skipped: give up on this post and move it to Skipped

On the Pending tab

A comment waiting to be published keeps one button: Cancel. Once a comment is published it appears on Posted, which has no buttons at all.

Acting on more than one post

Bulk approve approves a number of comments in one go. You set how many, and Extrovert approves the most relevant comments waiting in the feed you have open, in the order the feed itself uses, so it can include cards you have not scrolled to yet. The button sits at the top of the feed on the Need approval tab, both in Main Feed and inside a single campaign. See Bulk approve.

The other bulk action is Skip all posts in this campaign (it reads Skip all posts for this prospect list or Skip all posts for this topic depending on what you are looking at). It is available only when you have a single campaign selected, and only on the Need approval and Error tabs.

No buttons on a comment marked Auto

If the campaign has auto comments turned on, its drafts never reach this button row. They carry an Auto label, wait in Pending, and post on their own.

The one thing you can still do is Cancel an automatic comment while it's waiting in Pending. Approve, Skip and Improve draft don't apply, because the campaign is handling it rather than you. If the AI failed to write the comment at all, the post shows up on Error, where you can use Retry generation or Move to skipped.
