The dealer approval process occurs when the client has requested to approve their written content before publishing it on their website.
To start this process, there is one step that the SEO Rep must take:
Navigate to the 
Dealer Spike SEO Content Staging Board or the ARI SEO Content Staging Board on Trello and pull up the client card.
Add the “Requires Dealer Approval” red label to the Client Card Template.
...
On the monthly sheet, the SEO rep should add the “Needs Dealer Approval” label to column A of the client line, then notify their SEO Team Lead so they can go into Salesforce and switch out the fulfillment task template for the labeled one.
Instructions for the SEO Team Lead:
Separate Fulfillment Task Templates have been created that include "dealer approval" in the task name as well as instructions in the description. These task templates do not have a fulfillment type listed on purpose; this keeps the template from automatically generating on every active ongoing fulfillment that matched the fulfillment type every month. This will then require someone to go in and edit the fulfillment task templates used within the ongoing fulfillment's fulfillment schedule in order for tasks to generate monthly that include the approval label. Just click into the SEO ongoing fulfillment, then select the desired fulfillment schedule (usually Content Piece 1 or 2) and click edit. then just replace the fulfimment task template number with the approval template and that's it! Tasks that generate monthly moving forward will automatically include the approval label in the task name.
Continue filling out the content requests as normal and forward the card to the Dealer Spike Writing Board or the ARI Content Writing Board.
The rest of this process continues when the card is moved into the Awaiting Dealer Approval column on the Dealer Spike Content Posting Board or the ARI Content Posting Board. A Juniper rep will monitor the columns daily.
When a card is moved to the list “Awaiting Dealer Approval” by anyone, within the content task in Salesforce, which will then go to the content team’s queue to fulfill.
Once the content writer attaches the content link to the Completed Piece URL field within the FWD line, they will reassign the task to the QA team’s queue, who will QA the content and then change the queue to go to Juniper while leaving it in New status. Then an assigned Juniper rep will send an email notification to the Account Manager. The account manager can be found in the CRM digital marketing project:
...
The Juniper rep will go into the Trello card Fulfillment Work Done line and open up the link to the content Google doc, then download it as a Word doc (.docx). Below is the template the Juniper rep can use to email the account manager:

Once the email is sent to the account manager, the AM has 6 days to send an email to the dealer, and they should reply to the Juniper rep’s email when the content approval email has been sent. That is when the 5 day period begins to get word back from the dealer. If the account manager does not reply with this confirmation, the Juniper rep should reach out to the AM team lead to see if the AM is out of the office. If this is the case, the AM team lead should send out the dealer approval email instead. *The *The |
