Create an Automation

Last updated: January 28, 2025

Once you have a rough idea of the three components each Automation is made up of you can start to build out your workflow within Management>Automations.

When you click "New Automation" you'll have the option to "Start from Scratch" or choose one of four templates as starting points, based on some of the most common workflows:

  • Recruiting Creators from your Mentions

  • Recruiting Creators from your Story Responses

  • Auto-approving/rejecting creators' applications forms

  • Sending an Acceptance Email

Using a Template

  1. Click into each "Step" in the Automation to view the various conditions and make adjustments

  2. Make sure to verify you're satisfied with all of the filters - do you want more, or less?

  3. The conditions of those filters, are they too strict, or not strict enough?

  4. Ensure the Actions are aligned with your brand voice - edit the copy to reflect how you'd like to respond, if including the SignUp form make sure to put in the correct link and Program name, removing any placeholder text

Anywhere you see a square bracket in the body of email or direct message copy, like [link], you will need to replace the text, it is NOT a dynamic variable

Once you're satisfied with all the settings, you can save your Activation as a draft before selecting "Turn On" to enable it.

Once you save your Automation you will not be able to edit it, you instead will need to Create a new version (essentially a duplicate) to make changes.

Starting from Scratch

Each new Activation starts with a Trigger. Click "Add Trigger" to see a list of available options (learn more about the different components of Automations here).

  1. Continue configuring your Trigger with filters until the appropriate conditions are set and then click Apply

  2. Next you can add an Action, or an Intermediary Action if you want to incorporate something like a Time Delay or A/B Test

  3. You can include multiple Actions, and many times it makes sense to include an "Active" Action with a more "Informative" one like an Email or DM
