What happens after you are selected (from selection to reward)

Confirming your selection

When you are selected for a campaign you applied to, you receive a notification and the status in your campaign list on My activity (/activity) changes from "applied" to "selected". If the brand sent instructions (how the product will be shipped, how to book a visit and so on), you will find them in Messages (/messages).

The flow: selection → submission → approval within 14 days → payment

Every campaign follows the same overall flow.

1. Selection — the brand picks you from the applicants.
2. Doing the campaign — receive the product, book the visit, make the purchase and so on, depending on the campaign type (delivery, visit, purchase, short-form). Differences by type are covered below.
3. Submitting your deliverable — upload a screenshot of your review from the activity screen. If you have a review URL, you can add it as well.
4. Waiting for approval (up to 14 days) — the brand checks your submission. When the brand approves, the campaign is completed immediately and any reward is paid at that moment. If the brand does nothing for 14 days, the submission is approved automatically.
5. Reward payment — once paid, the status changes to "paid" and the amount appears in your points balance.

Any participation deposit held when you applied is returned at the moment your deliverable is approved (either by the brand or by the automatic 14-day approval).

What differs by campaign type

Delivery-type, visit-type, purchase-type and short-form campaigns differ only in what you do during "selection → doing the campaign" (receiving the product, booking a visit, buying it yourself, producing a video). From there, the submission → approval within 14 days → payment flow is identical. See the separate article for how each type works in detail.

Deliverables and deadlines

• Submit from the form on the activity screen, attaching at least one screenshot of your review. You can add the review URL as well if you have one.
• Each campaign has its own submission deadline, shown as "submission deadline" in your activity list.
• Campaigns close to their deadline show the date highlighted in red.

If you are asked to revise

If the brand finds a problem with your submission, it can send it back as a revision request (rejection). The status changes to "rejected", the reason is shown with it, and you can revise your content and submit again. After resubmission the same process applies: the brand approves, or the submission is approved automatically after 14 days.

If a rejection seems unreasonable, you can message the brand or, if necessary, use the dispute process.

When the reward is paid

• If the brand approves directly, the campaign is completed immediately and any reward is paid at that moment.
• If the brand does not respond, the submission is approved automatically 14 days after you submitted it (and any reward is paid then).
• Paid rewards accumulate as points, which you can later receive as cash through the withdrawal process.

Keep your post up for three months after submitting

• Content you submitted must stay published at its original source (your social channel and so on) for three months from the submission date.
• You can check the retention deadline for each deliverable on the My activity (/activity) screen.
• While a retention period is running, account deletion is restricted. If you have an unavoidable reason, contact the inlink team by chat.
• You are not penalised if the brand asked you to delete the post, if the post was taken down for reasons outside your responsibility such as a platform policy decision, or if circumstances beyond your control such as account theft or hacking are confirmed.
