The campaign manager enables you to invite new creators to your campaign or filter through, reach out, and pay active creators. You can also pause campaign applications restricting new creators from applying.
impact.com allows you to accept a creator either to a specific creator campaign or to your overall program. To better understand the possible scenarios when recruiting creators or processing creator applications, see Recruit Creators.
See the scenarios below to better understand what happens when a creator joins your creator campaign, and where to find the creator in each scenario.
If a creator applies to your creator campaign from the marketplace while already joined to the associated program, you can locate and manage their application as follows:
From the left navigation bar, select
[Engage] → Campaign Manager → Creator.Hover over the campaign for which you want to manage applications and select Manage Campaign.
Under the top navigation bar, select the Applied filter. From here you can manage your campaign applications.
See Manage Campaign Applicants for further guidance.
Alternatively, if you invite the creator to your campaign via the marketplace and they accept, they'll be automatically approved to your program and the campaign they were invited to, and you can locate them under:
If a creator applies to your creator campaign from the marketplace without first joining your associated program, impact.com registers this as a double application to both the campaign and the program, and the applications will appear in both the Campaign Manager and Applications screens:
To approve the application for the program only, accept the application under
[Engage] → Partners → Applications.
To approve both applications simultaneously, hire the creator from the Campaign Manager as follows:
From the left navigation bar, select
[Engage] → Campaign Manager → Creator.Hover over the campaign for which you want to manage applications and select Manage Campaign.
Under the top navigation bar, select the Applied filter. From here you can manage your campaign applications.

[Engage] → Partners → Creators.
If you invite a creator via a campaign Invite link, you are essentially inviting them to both the creator campaign and your associated program. If the creator signs up via the link, they will be approved automatically for your program (if they aren't already joined). You can then manually approve their campaign application as follows:
From the left navigation bar, select
[Engage] → Campaign Manager → Creator.Hover over the campaign for which you want to manage applications and select Manage Campaign.
Under the top navigation bar, select the Applied filter. From here you can manage your campaign applications.

[Engage] → Partners → Applications.

You can locate them under
[Engage] → Partners → Applications, in the Processed tab. See Review Partner Applications for more guidance.
From the left navigation bar, select Campaign Manager → Creator.
On the Campaign Manager screen, select the Active tab to view all your currently active campaigns.
