Deadlines are a critical part of any project, and it can be a hassle to keep track of them, especially when it comes to getting feedback. But what if you could set a feedback deadline and have automatic reminders sent to your clients and even to you & your team?
Well, now you can with Pastel's Feedback Deadline Reminders!
What Are Feedback Deadlines?
Feedback deadlines help teams establish clear expectations for website reviews and approvals. Instead of waiting indefinitely for comments, stakeholders know exactly when feedback is expected, helping projects stay on schedule and reducing delays throughout the review process.
Deadline Reminders is a powerful feature designed for teams to schedule automated email reminders for clients and team members alike, ensuring deadlines are met and feedback is provided on time! Available on either our Studio or Enterprise plans.
Why Feedback Deadlines Matter for Website Reviews
Website reviews often involve multiple stakeholders, each with their own priorities and schedules. Without clear deadlines, review cycles can stall, causing bottlenecks and delaying launches. By setting feedback deadlines, teams can create accountability, streamline communication, and ensure projects continue moving forward without constant follow ups.
How Feedback Deadlines Work in Pastel
Sharing a Project
Deadline Reminders can be accessed from three different areas:
1. “Deadline & Reminders” button in a Project.
2. “Share” button on a canvas card in your dashboard or Project.
3. “Share” button on the canvas footer.
Setting a Reminder
Setting a reminder is simple. First, set your feedback deadline.
Then, hit the Schedule Feedback Deadline and Reminders button. Pick a date and time in the future when commenting in that canvas will automatically pause, and schedule your reminders.
Choose who you'd like to get email reminders as well as the day and time for the reminder to be sent.You can even add multiple reminder times to ensure that everyone is on the same page!
Plus, every email reminder has a direct link to the project, so you can jump right in and leave feedback.
Managing Reminders
Pastel makes it easy to keep track of all your reminders too!
Check the reminder queue to see a history of sent, pending, and cancelled reminders. And if you need to make changes to your deadline, don't worry - all associated reminders will be cancelled and removed from the history queue.
You can also delete pending reminders at any time.
Managing Client Feedback More Efficiently
Managing client feedback becomes increasingly complex as more stakeholders join the review process. Clear deadlines help teams stay organized, minimize back and forth communication, and keep everyone aligned on project timelines. Combined with Pastel's revision history, teams can easily track changes across multiple rounds of feedback.
Related Features for Review, Revision, and Approval Workflows
Feedback deadlines work even better when combined with other collaboration features in Pastel. Teams can pause reviews when priorities shift or stakeholders become unavailable, ensuring review cycles remain flexible without losing progress. Once all feedback has been addressed, teams can move seamlessly into the approval process for final sign off before launch.
