Monitoring watches your partnerships for you. It automatically collects all of your content, measures the engagements, and helps you keep track of which influencers have posted. You can set up your campaign in less than 2 minutes.
Step 1: Navigate to the Monitoring tab in Modash and click the "New Campaign" button.
Step 2: Choose a platform and add influencers to your campaign. You can choose one of three options.
You can import influencers from a CSV (spreadsheet).
You can import influencers from an influencer list you have created in Modash.
You can manually add influencers one by one by providing their @username
The easiest way is to build a list on the influencer discovery page and then choose the "select a list" option to easily move that list to Monitoring.
Once you have chosen an input, click "Continue" in the bottom left-hand corner of the screen to move to the next step.
Step 3: Add tracking tags
Tracking tags are the information Modash looks for to determine that a piece of content is a part of your campaign (rather than a normal post from the influencer). We look at 3 different kinds of indicators.
Hashtags:
If the influencer posts any one of the indicated hashtags in the post or story, we will collect it as part of your campaign.
Mentions:
If the influencer writes any one of the @mentions in the caption / description of a piece of content we will collect it as part of your campaign.
Tags (only available for Instagram):
If the influencer tags any one of the indicated accounts as part of the content, we will collect it.
A tag is not an @mention in a caption / description. It is applied to the image itself.
See the image below for an example.
NB! Modash will collect all content with any 1 hashtag, @mention or tag you have indicated. It is not necessary for the creator to use all of the indicators.
After adding tracking tags, you will see two remaining checkboxes at the bottom of the page. They are explained below.
Mandatory hashtags, mentions, and tags:
In Monitoring, we collect all content for you, even if it's missing a mandatory tag or mention. We alert you if something has gone wrong with the content if you choose to check this box.
When we collect the content, we will check if ALL of the hashtags and mentions, and tags are present. If not, you will see an error message like this:
Mandatory ad disclosure:
Similar to the example above, you may want influencers to disclose that the post is an advertisement. If you click this checkbox when setting up your campaign, we will alert you when a post is published that doesn't include an ad disclosure.
Step 4: Add a start date.
The last step is a simple one. Choose the date from which you would like to start collecting content.
To choose a date, simply click the box indicating a start date and choose the one you prefer. Your start date may be up to 6 days in the past.
And voilà! You just created your campaign and made your life much easier 😎
NB! Modash checks for content approximately every 12 hours
