# I would like to join campaigns without connecting my social media accounts

Now you can apply for and participate in campaigns **without directly connecting their social media accounts!**

### 1. What Is This Feature?

Normally, creators are required to connect their social media accounts (Instagram, Facebook, X, etc.) to AnyCreator before joining campaigns. With this new feature, you can now **join eligible campaigns without connecting your SNS account**, by submitting your public profile and post links instead.

This option is especially helpful if:

* You experience technical issues when connecting your SNS account
* You prefer not to grant SNS access but still want to participate

{% hint style="success" %}
Connecting your SNS account is still recommended, but no longer mandatory for some campaigns.

### 4. After You’re Approved

Once approved, you can start working on the campaign.

#### Posting Content

1. Submit a draft post if your campaign requires it and wait until it is approved.
2. Publish your content on the selected SNS platform within the campaign period.
3. Ensure the actual post follows all campaign guidelines.

#### Submitting Your Post Link

Because your SNS account is not connected, **manual post submission is required**.

1. Copy the URL of your published post.
2. Open the campaign in AnyCreator.
3. Scroll down to find **Submit Your Post & Insights** section
4. Paste the post URL and click **Submit**.

{% hint style="info" %}
You may see a reminder message explaining that post links (and screenshots in some cases) are required.
{% endhint %}

### 5. Post Performance Tracking

After you submit your post link:

* The system verifies the post and publication date
* Performance data is collected via available APIs or public scraping
* Metrics are updated up to **4 times per day**

{% hint style="success" %}
You can track your post performance in **AnyCreator → My Job**, just like in campaigns where your social account is directly connected.
{% endhint %}

{% content-ref url="../../marketplace/my-jobs-status" %}
[my-jobs-status](https://anymind-group.gitbook.io/anycreator-help-page/marketplace/my-jobs-status)
{% endcontent-ref %}

{% content-ref url="../../casting/post-status" %}
[post-status](https://anymind-group.gitbook.io/anycreator-help-page/casting/post-status)
{% endcontent-ref %}

### 6. Screenshots Submission Requirements (Upcoming)

Some campaigns may also require you to submit both the post link and screenshots for view-based metrics (such as Instagram Stories or X views) after the campaign has ended.

{% hint style="info" %}
If screenshots are required, clear instructions will be shown in the app.
