In this tutorial, we’ll walk through the essential steps for managing influencer campaigns using Upfluence. From customizing email flows to handling product shipments and influencer approvals, this guide will show you how to streamline communication and optimize your campaign workflow.
Upfluence not only saves time but also delivers significant results. Our data shows that influencers who are existing customers are 7x more likely to work with your brand and are up to 52% cheaper for paid collaborations. These authentic partnerships drive the highest ROI for your influencer marketing efforts, making your campaigns both effective and cost-efficient.
In this guide, we’ll cover three major steps:
- Customizing Email Flows and Automating Follow-Ups
- Managing Influencer Invites, Products, and Offers
- Draft Approvals, Performance Review, and Payments
Let’s dive into how these features work and how they can take your influencer marketing to the next level!
Chapter 1: Customizing Email Flows and Automating Follow-Ups
Managing communication with influencers is crucial for keeping campaigns on track. Upfluence makes this easy by allowing you to customize email flows and automate follow-up sequences.
Personalizing Emails:
- Before launching a campaign, personalize your email templates to match your brand’s tone. This ensures that all communication feels on-brand and professional.
Using Merge Fields:
- Use merge fields to personalize each email without manual effort. This feature dynamically adds influencer names or details to your emails, making the messages feel tailored.
Automated Follow-Ups:
- Set up automated follow-up emails to save time. For example, you can schedule reminders for influencers who haven’t yet applied or those who haven’t posted content by a specific deadline.

Chapter 2: Managing Influencer Invites, Products, and Offers
Once your email flow is set, it’s time to invite influencers and manage product distribution. Upfluence streamlines these tasks, making the campaign setup efficient and straightforward.
Inviting Influencers:
- After finalizing your email templates, you can invite influencers to your campaign. You can preview and personalize the invitation emails to ensure the messaging is clear and concise.
Including Campaign Links:
- Ensure that your emails include essential links like the application form or campaign brief. Use hyperlinking to make the content more readable. For example, you can hide long URLs under words like “click here.”
One-Click Product Shipment:
- Once an influencer is approved, you can send their chosen product directly from Upfluence. Simply update their status to “approved,” click the shopping cart icon, and ship the product in one click.
Handling Counter Offers:
- If an influencer counters your offer, Upfluence makes it easy to adjust their payment. For example, if an influencer requests $50 more, you can review the request, update the offer, and send a confirmation email.
Upfluence simplifies product shipment and allows for easy payment negotiations, ensuring a smooth influencer collaboration process.

Chapter 3: Draft Approvals, Performance Review, and Payments
Once influencers start creating content, Upfluence helps you manage drafts, track performance, and process payments efficiently.
Requesting and Approving Drafts:
- You can request drafts from influencers before they post their content. This is helpful when working with newer creators or when you want to ensure the content aligns with your campaign goals. After reviewing drafts, you can provide feedback or approve the draft directly.
Sending Publication Instructions:
- As your campaign’s launch date approaches, send influencers the publication instructions. This should include important details like the campaign-specific hashtag, Instagram handle, and a reminder to upload their content insights after their stories expire.
Tracking Influencer Performance:
- Use the content tab to monitor influencer posts and key performance metrics. Once the Instagram stories are posted, influencers can submit insights, which will automatically populate the content tab for easy tracking.
Authorizing Payments:
- After the content is live, you can confirm that each influencer has completed their tasks and authorized their payment. Upfluence allows you to send a final email with payment instructions, ensuring a seamless process.
Managing drafts, tracking performance, and processing payments are crucial steps that Upfluence simplifies, ensuring campaign success without manual work.
