Marketing app directory with submission and approval workflow

Starting promptUse this prompt as a starting point to build your workflow.

Build an internal Marketing app directory that helps employees quickly find approved tools and gives reviewers a structured way to govern them. Create tenant-accessible web routes for the app directory and self-service submissions, plus a space-restricted admin route for reviewers. Add supporting HTTP APIs to manage approved apps, submissions, favorites, and usage analytics. Let reviewers approve, reject, edit, and remove apps; publish approvals directly to the directory; and track visits and clicks. Notify reviewers about new submissions and approvals in Slack—or your team’s preferred chat tool. Persist directory data, submissions, favorites, and analytics across runs. Include light and dark themes, categorized app cards, favorites, and clear navigation between the directory, submission page, and admin console. Tools used: 3B, React, Slack

What this prompt builds

An internal app directory and approval workflow for Marketing teams. Provides a searchable launchpad of approved tools, self-service submission forms, an admin console for reviewers to manage submissions, Slack notifications, and usage analytics. Replaces scattered bookmarks and tribal knowledge with a governed, centralized catalog.

The problem

Marketing teams struggle to discover approved internal tools, often hunting through scattered bookmarks, Slack threads, or relying on tribal knowledge. Meanwhile, the admins responsible for maintaining the directory lack a structured process to review suggestions, publish approved apps, retire outdated ones, and track which tools and data are actually being used. This workflow provides a searchable, categorized app launchpad for marketers, a self-service submission form for anyone to propose new tools, and an admin console where Mapprovers can review, approve, reject, edit, and remove entries with automatic Slack alerts. It delivers one governed place to discover, submit, and track internal apps, complete with favorites and usage analytics.

Solution and impact

The workflow centralizes app discovery and governance in a single managed directory. Marketers find approved tools faster through search and categories, while Mapprovers handle submissions in a structured queue with automatic Slack notifications for new requests and approvals. The built-in analytics surface which tools are visited and clicked, guiding decisions about what to keep, retire, or promote. This reduces coordination overhead, speeds up publishing, improves alignment on shared data and tooling, and replaces ad-hoc approval processes with a transparent, auditable system.
