Uploading Instagram and Facebook Stats

If your Instagram content was automatically collected by GRIN, you will receive an email notification requesting performance metrics for each of the content pieces. The initial email will be sent 24 hours after the content is collected and a reminder email will be sent every 48 hours. This ensures that brands are tracking your performance accurately to enhance your collaboration opportunities and provide insights that can help boost your content's reach. For more information about notifications, see our help article on Managing Settings. 

There are two methods available to upload your Instagram content metrics: Importing a screenshot of your content metrics, which allows you to upload a screenshot(s) of your metrics report and these will be pulled directly into GRIN; or manually entering, which allows you to type in each of the metrics on your Live Site.

To add or update Facebook content metrics, you can follow the steps outlined in our help article Manually Uploading Content.
