1. Creating Custom Intake Forms: The content request tool allows you to create custom intake forms to gather specific information from internal stakeholders. You can design these forms with the required fields, such as content type, target audience, and objectives. Once set up, these forms can be shared with any team in your organization, even if they do not have direct access to Contently.

2. Submitting Content Requests: Teams can fill out the intake forms to request content creation. Information such as the purpose of the content, key messages, and deadlines can be included. This ensures that content producers have all the necessary details to begin work without back-and-forth emails or missed information.

3. Managing Requests in the Platform: Once a request is submitted, it appears in the content request section within Contently. Here, content managers can review, prioritize, and assign the request to the appropriate team member. This centralizes all content requests, helping you manage workloads efficiently.

4. Collaboration and Communication: Contently enables seamless collaboration on content requests. Teams can add comments, discuss the content brief, and make revisions directly in the platform. This ensures that any adjustments or additional input from stakeholders are captured, and all communication remains organized.

5. Tracking Request Progress: After a content request is approved, it moves through the workflow like any other content piece. Teams can track the progress from creation to approval and publication, ensuring that all requests are completed on time and meet the original objectives.
