# Invite Creators to Your Campaign

When inviting creators to a campaign, you can use impact.com's *Discover* feature, the *Campaign Manager* or *Extended Search*. Depending on how you invite a creator, they may be automatically accepted or need additional approval before being accepted to your campaign. To better understand the possible scenarios, see [Recruiting Creators Explained](https://help.impact.com/brand/creator-program/recruit-creators/recruiting-creators-explained).
