If you’ve been assigned non-social network tasks or you haven’t connected your social networks, such as Instagram or TikTok, you can complete tasks by manually uploading content via your Live Site. When you manually upload, you have to provide a file copy of your content, a link, and the metrics associated with your content depending on the type of task you’re completing.
If you have connected your social network accounts and have started posting content for brands with the correct hashtags and mentions, your content has already been automatically picked up by GRIN. This means you don't need to manually deliver your content since the brands already have it, and if you try to, you'll get a message confirming that the content was already delivered.
- Some social network uploads, such as Instagram Stories, must be captured before they expire.
- Manually uploading content can be 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 supported social accounts with GRIN. 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.
