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 the platform. 

To start, create a message template inside of your campaign: 

1. Open the Setup tab of the relevant campaign.
2. Select Message Templates on the bottom of the left sidebar menu.
3. Click the + button at the bottom of the page.
4. Paste the text from the box below in the message template.
5. Highlight the line “Click here to upload content” 
6. Select the merge tag button shown in the screenshot below and select Self-Report Content Link to insert the merge tag link into the highlighted sentence.

Hello,

For this campaign, we need your help self-reporting content and metrics. 
To do so, simply click the link below, upload your content and submit appropraite metrics for your content type. 

Click here to upload content

Best,

Once the template is crafted, follow the instructions below to send your message:

1. Open the workflow tab of the campaign.
2. Select the relevant influencers using the checkboxes.
3. Click Send Message.
4. Select the relevant message template from the dropdown (or write a new message and insert the merge tag).

*If you are already sending influencers a link to the ICM (Campaign Details merge tag), influencers can access the self-report content link from the Content Deliverables section.
