How to make an app for a digital marketing agency

A small agency with fifteen clients juggles hundreds of posts a month, each waiting on a design, a caption or a client's okay. An app for your team shows what is due today, which posts are stuck at approval and which clients have paid this month.

Updated 2026-11-09

Who uses the app

The agency team: the owner, designers and the person who talks to clients. Since several people use it on their own phones, connect a Supabase database so everyone sees the same calendar and tasks.

The screens a digital marketing agency app needs

Today: Posts and reels due today across all clients, with who is working on each and its stage
Clients: Each client with package, platforms, monthly fee, brand colours and contact person, with call and WhatsApp buttons
Content calendar: A month view per client with each post's date, type, caption and status: idea, design, approval, scheduled
Approvals: Posts waiting for the client's okay, with a button that opens WhatsApp with a ready message asking for approval
Team tasks: Work assigned to each designer or editor, with due dates
Invoices: Monthly fee per client, paid or pending, and an invoice as a PDF to share

Features worth asking for

Post status in fixed stages, so you can filter everything stuck at 'waiting for client'
A WhatsApp approval request with the post date and caption filled in; you add the design in the chat
A count of posts delivered against the package for each client this month
Monthly invoices as PDFs with your agency name and the client's GST details if you enter them
A pending-payments list with a polite WhatsApp reminder button
Client notes on brand colours, fonts and things they never want in a post

Where the data lives

With several team members on their own phones, connect your own Supabase database from the chat and ask for sign-in. If you later want clients to pay invoices online, connect your Razorpay account; the money goes to your agency.

How to make it with AppCub, step by step

Decide what the app does. List the screens you need, for example: Today, Clients, Content calendar, Approvals, Team tasks.
Describe it to AppCub. Paste the request below, changed to your own business and details.

Share it. Share it as a web link, an APK file, or publish it on Google Play from your own developer account.

Copy this request, change the details to match your digital marketing agency, and paste it into AppCub:

Make an app for my digital marketing agency, Pixel Path Media in Indore. Screens: today, clients, content calendar, approvals, team tasks and invoices. Each client has a package (posts and reels per month), platforms, monthly fee, brand notes and contact person. The content calendar has posts with date, type, caption, assigned designer and status: idea, design, waiting for client, approved, scheduled. Show posts delivered against the package each month. Approvals screen with a WhatsApp button to ask the client. Monthly invoice as a PDF and a list of unpaid invoices. Team members sign in. Navy and orange colours.

Tips for a digital marketing agency app

Agree on the post stages with your team first; the app is only useful if everyone moves posts through the same steps.
Start with clients, the content calendar and invoices. Add team tasks once the calendar is in daily use.
Keep design files in the tool you already use and put only the caption and status in the app.
Give AppCub a photo of your current invoice so the PDF looks the same.
Run one client's month through the app before moving everyone in.

Good to know

AppCub doesn't post to Instagram or Facebook, connect to ad accounts or pull reports from them. It keeps your calendar, approvals and invoices, and messages go out when someone taps the WhatsApp button.
AppCub builds Android apps. You can also share the app as a web link that opens on any phone; for the iPhone App Store, AppCub’s team can do it for you.

Questions

Can the app post to Instagram for my clients?

No. AppCub doesn't connect to social media accounts. The app tracks what is planned and approved, and your team posts or schedules it in the usual tool.

Can clients approve posts inside the app?

That needs a client sign-in and an online database. Most agencies send the design on WhatsApp from the approval button and mark it approved in the app.

Can the app show how many posts are left in a client's package?

Yes. Ask for posts delivered against the package each month, and each client's card shows the count.

Can my designers see only their own tasks?

Yes, with sign-in and a Supabase database. Ask AppCub for each person to see their tasks first, with the full calendar for the owner.

Can the app pull ad results from Google or Meta?

No, it doesn't connect to ad accounts. You can type the monthly spend and notes into the client's record if you want them in one place.

Can the app make GST invoices?

It can make an invoice PDF with your GST number, the client's details and the tax lines you specify. Check the format with your accountant.
