Accepting Applicants

Applicants are prospective creators who have applied to work with your brand through your Landing Page. Once you have applicants, you can accept them into your program with your desired relationship stage, tags, add them to an existing Activation, or assign a manager or agent. You can learn how to accept applicants in this article.

What You'll Need

• A published Landing Page for prospective creators to apply to. See Creating a Landing Page for more information.
