Creator portal
Every creator in a campaign can have a space of their own: they log in with their email, see what they have to deliver, upload their drafts, get your comments and let you know when they publish. All in one place, with no Influgest account.
What it's for
Without a portal, content review ends up as a chain of emails with attachments, stray versions and lost comments. The portal turns it into a board: one card per deliverable, one status per card, and a history of numbered versions nobody has to reconstruct from memory.
It's opened from the creator's record inside the campaign, in the Content instructions and Content approval blocks.
Opening the portal for a creator
- 1
Check the expected content
Deliverables are generated from the campaign's media plan — post, story, reel, video, carousel, short or TikTok — each with its own tag and, if you want, its own deadline. - 2
Write the briefing
In theWrite the briefing for the creator…box you set out what you need: references, mandatory messages, what to avoid. It's what the creator will read on their instructions tab. - 3
Enter their email and share the link
Validate & Share the linkcreates their space. You'll get theCreator linkwith aCopybutton, and the creator will receive an email with their access.
How the creator logs in
Opening the link brings up the Connect to the {campaign} campaign screen, where they type their email under Your email and press Log in. There's no password and no sign-up.
The first email used to log in is bound to that space: from then on only that address can get in, and any other one gets the notice that it doesn't match the invitation.
The portal's three tabs
Follow-up
The creator's board: one card per deliverable with its type, its tag, its Deadline and its status. The available actions change with that status — send a proposal, upload a new version, or mark the piece as published.
Instructions
The Expected content as tags with type and date, and below it the briefing you wrote. If you haven't put anything in yet, the creator reads No instructions.
Proposals
The full history of what they've sent: version number, the deliverable it belongs to, file or link, date and status, with the option to view it again or download it. When they haven't sent anything yet, it shows You haven't sent any proposals yet.
Uploading a proposal and numbering the versions
From a card, the Send proposal button lets them hand over their material in two ways: by uploading a file (Drag a file or click to choose) or by pasting a link. They can also fill in two optional fields: Post caption (optional), for the text that will go with the piece, and Note (optional), to explain anything to you.
Every submission creates a new version: v1, v2, v3… Nothing gets overwritten. If you ask for changes and they upload again, you'll have both versions to compare, each with its date. That history lives on the Proposals tab and you can see it too from the campaign.
The five states of every piece
Every piece always goes through the same states. The creator sees them on their card and you see them on the campaign board:
| Status | What it means | Whose move it is |
|---|---|---|
| Waiting proposal | No draft has been uploaded for that deliverable yet. | The creator's |
| To be approved | The creator has uploaded a version and it's waiting for your review. | The agency's |
| Need iteration | You've asked for another round: a new version is due. | The creator's |
| Approved | The content is signed off and ready to be published. | The creator's |
| Published | The piece is live and its link is on record. | Nobody's: the cycle is closed |
How the cycle closes
Feedback arrives by email
Nobody has to sit watching a screen. When the creator sends a proposal, your agency gets an automatic email and the piece moves to To be approved. When you approve it or ask for changes, it's the creator who gets an email with the link to their portal so they can go in and see what you told them.
Marking the piece as published
As soon as a piece is Approved, the creator's card shows the Published post URL field and the Mark published button. Pasting the link to the real post and confirming moves the piece to Published, and from then on the link to the post stays accessible.
That marks the deliverable inside the portal, but it does not register the post in the campaign: pieces on the Publications tab only get in through automatic detection, when they carry the hashtags or mentions from the brief.
What you see from the campaign
Your side of the board is the same one, with the review tools:
- All of the creator's deliverables with their status and every version sent, in order.
Viewto preview a version andDownloadto save it.Upload version, for when it's you providing the material (a retouched edit, a copy fix) rather than the creator.- The status change for each piece: approve it, ask for changes or mark it as published.
Each creator's progress within the campaign is reflected in Creators and statuses.
If the link doesn't work
If the creator sees an invalid or expired link notice, there's nothing for them to fix: they just have to ask you to share it again from the campaign.
