Standard operating procedure

Manual approval AI reply SOP

A manual approval AI reply SOP should make every public reply pass through visible context, three draft angles, human selection, edit review, and manual final posting. It protects TypeToSell from auto-posting confusion, unsupported proof, hidden account control claims, and spammy CTA pressure.

Owner

Founder, agency operator, creator, or sales lead approving public replies.

Cadence

Run before every copied, inserted, or posted AI-generated social reply.

Last updated: July 12, 2026. The final platform action stays manual.

Inputs

Required inputs before the SOP starts

Visible source context

Use the actual visible post, comment, thread, or pasted text that the user wants to answer.

Saved marketing context

Use only saved product, audience, offer, voice, website, and soft CTA rules; do not invent proof.

Manual posting boundary

The process ends with selected editable text. The user still presses Reply, Post, or Comment manually.

Mobile surface status

Label whether the process is current mobile web, roadmap Android keyboard, roadmap iOS native flow, or browser fallback.

Procedure

Run the steps in order

1

Verify source context

Confirm the draft responds to the actual visible post and not a guessed topic.

2

Choose one draft angle

Pick trust, conversation, or natural next step; do not blend all three into one noisy reply.

3

Edit for platform

Shorten X replies, make Reddit useful-first, and keep Facebook warmer and more conversational.

4

Run claim review

Remove unsupported numbers, testimonials, pricing, product claims, and availability statements.

5

Post manually

The user presses the final Reply, Post, or Comment button after reviewing the editable text.

QA gates

What must pass before handoff

Specificity gate

The draft must include one detail from the source post or a clear reason it is asking for more context.

CTA pressure gate

Cold replies should usually have no CTA. Problem-aware replies can include one optional next step.

Proof gate

Remove unsupported statistics, testimonials, pricing, customer outcomes, review scores, store availability, or platform approval claims.

Manual approval gate

The operator must be able to point to the final human edit and manual platform action before the reply is published.

Fail conditions

What blocks the SOP

Auto-posting implication

Fail the SOP if copy says or implies TypeToSell clicks the final Reply, Post, Comment, or Publish button.

Hidden context assumption

Fail the SOP if it assumes a keyboard or extension can read private or unavailable social app content.

Unsupported availability

Fail the SOP if roadmap surfaces sound currently available in Google Play or the App Store without dated proof.

Guaranteed outcome claim

Fail the SOP if it promises replies, followers, leads, revenue, rankings, or platform safety guarantees.

Quick answers

SOP questions

What does manual approval mean?

The user reviews, edits, and personally presses the final platform button after AI drafts text.

What should block approval?

Missing source context, invented proof, auto-posting language, hidden account control, or excessive CTA pressure should block approval.

Does TypeToSell click Reply or Comment?

No. TypeToSell drafts, copies, or inserts selected editable text only.
