Article Summary

If you’ve been assigned non-network tasks or you haven’t connected your social networks, you can complete tasks with collaborating brands by manually uploading content via your Live URL. When you manually upload, you have to provide a combination of a file copy of your content, a link, and the metrics associated with your content depending on the type of task you’re completing.

Notes
  • Some social network uploads, such as Instagram Stories, must be captured before they expire.
  • Manually uploading content can be time consuming and potentially inaccurate for delivering social network tasks (such as Instagram or TikTok) as your content metrics change. This may affect how your collaborating brands perceive your content’s performance. To ensure you always share your content with the most up-to-date stats, we highly recommend connecting your social accounts with GRIN. This allows GRIN to automatically pull your content and metrics directly from your accounts and share that data directly with your collaborating brands. 
  • You can learn how to connect your social networks with our help articles in Managing Social Networks. For more information on how GRIN uses your data, you can check out our help articles Creator Data Privacy and Understanding First-Party Data.

 What You'll Need

  • If you’re delivering for a non-network task, the requirements will be different depending on the type:
    • File Upload: An image, video, Word document, or PDF file
