The Agorapulse Shared Calendar allows you to create social media content and share it with users that don't have access to Agorapulse. These users can view the scheduled content you assign to them, accept or reject it, add comments, and reassign the post to the creator. Typically, this works well if you are an agency who has one or more clients that need to review content published on their behalf.
