Creator links
Upload links let creators add their own posts to your campaigns.
Last updated
A creator link is a public page where a creator pastes the link to a post they've published and selects Submit post. Roar then tracks the post in the campaign and group you chose.
Creating a link#
- Open Campaigns in the sidebar.
- Open the menu on the campaign's row and choose Manage Links.
- Under Create new upload link, choose a group in Assign to Group (optional), or leave it at No group (campaign level).
- Set a Submission Limit between 1 and 100. The default is 1.
- Select Create Link, then Copy it and send it to the creator.
Submitting a post#
The link opens a page titled Submit your post. The creator pastes the link to their live post and selects Submit post. Each submission is one post.
| Message shown to the creator | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Your post is in. Tracking starts shortly. | The post was accepted and added to your campaign. |
| This post was tracked before. It's linked to the campaign now. | The post was already in your workspace and has been added to this campaign. |
| That doesn't look like a post link we can track | The link isn't a TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube post. |
| This link is closed | The link reached its limit, expired, or was revoked. |
| This link doesn't work | The link was deleted or the address is incomplete. |
Managing links#
Links are listed in Settings → Creator Links and under Manage Links on each campaign, with their creation date, submissions used, and status:
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Active | Accepting submissions |
| Limit Reached | Has accepted as many posts as its limit allows |
| Expired | Past its expiry |
| Revoked | Turned off by you. Can be reactivated. |
From the list you can Copy link, Open link, revoke, reactivate, or delete a link.
Recommendations#
- Create one link per creator with a limit of 1 or 2, so each post is tied to the right creator and a shared link can't be reused.
- For a cohort posting into the same group, create one link for the group with a limit that matches the cohort's size.
- Add the link to the campaign's Brief along with the posting date.
