Managing Declined Creators in an Activation

While reviewing proposals in the Review Proposals step in the Workflow, you may end up declining a creator's proposal. If that's the case, you can check who you've declined and manage them from the View Declined Workflow step.

You can learn about the View Declined step in this article.

What You'll Need

Only creators you've declined will appear here. You can decline creators in the Review Proposals step.

How to Do It

You can access this step by navigating to Program > Activations > Your Activation > Workflow > View Declined.

If you ever want to review creators you declined or reset them in the Activation so you can send them a new proposal to fill out, you can do it in this step.

There are also a variety of other ways you can manage creators here. You can learn how with this article's sections on row actions and bulk actions.

Resetting Creators

If you ever want to let creators reapply with a new proposal, you can reset them to send them back to the Activate Creators step. 

1. Hover over the creator you want to reset. 
2. Select More options > Reset Status.

3. Select Reset Status in the modal that appears.

Your creator has been reset. You can find them again in the Activate Creators step.

Row Actions

You can use row actions to work with an individual creator.

Select a creator's name to open a side panel with details about the creator's proposal. Any tasks, products, and other details they agreed to or chose for themselves will appear in this side panel.

You can freely edit or browse their selections with the following tabs:

• Tasks: Review the tasks the creator's agreed to as part of their proposal. You can also add or edit tasks here. These changes will be reflected in the creator's proposal on their Live Site, but you do not need to resend a proposal for them to review.
• Products: Similarly to the Tasks tab, you can review, add, or edit product orders the creator's placed via their proposal in this tab. These changes will be reflected in the creator's proposal on their Live Site, but you do not need to resend a proposal for them to review.
• Payments: Any payments you've made to the creator will appear in this tab. You can also make payments to the creator from here.
• Content Rights: The content rights the creator agreed to will appear here.
• Delivered Content: Any delivered content the creator has submitted as part of the Activation will appear here.

Hover over a creator to display other row actions. They are:

• View Content: Preview the creator's content from their connected social networks.

• Send email: Compose and send creators an email.

• Add Note: Write a note for that creator that you or others with access to the Activation can view at any time. Creators will not see these notes.

• More Options:
  • Reset Status: Reenable the creator so you can send them a proposal again. See Resetting creators for more information.
  • Creator Preview: View a preview of the creator's connected social networks and content.

  • Remove proposal: Permanently remove creators and their proposals from the Activation. You will need to readd creators to the Activation and resend them a proposal if you want them in the Activation later.

Bulk Actions

If you want to manage multiple creators at once, you can use the available bulk actions. To display bulk actions, select the checkbox next to each creator you want to update.

The available bulk actions are:

• Reset: Reenable the creators so you can send them proposals again. See Resetting creators for more information.

  • Set custom property: Update creators with custom properties. Learn more with Creating Custom Properties.
