There are some occasions that require influencers to self-report their content and metrics to a campaign. The need to self-report can arise when an influencer doesn't include the campaign's binding hashtag, or their account is not connected properly, or the content is a type that cannot be bound automatically.

Requests for influencers to self-report content must come from inside Later Influence.
