Teams cannot track client approval sign-offs within existing project workflows

Marketing and design teams need documented proof that clients approved work before invoicing, but this sign-off happens outside their project management tool (via email replies, Slack reactions, or verbal confirmation). This creates disputes about scope creep and payment delays. Existing tools lack integrated approval workflows that non-technical users can easily set up and manage.
