# Can my influencers join campaigns without connecting their social accounts?

Yes! Influencers can now join eligible Marketplace campaigns **without connecting their social media (SNS) accounts** on AnyCreator.

### 1. Overview

Influencers are encouraged to connect their social media (SNS) accounts to AnyTag for automated eligibility checks and performance tracking. However, for eligible campaigns, influencers may participate **without connecting their SNS accounts** by submitting public profile and post links.

This approach:

* Reduces technical friction during application
* Expands the available influencer pool
* Still supports campaign tracking and payment

SNS connection remains recommended, but is **not mandatory** for eligible campaigns.

### 2. How the Application Flow Works?

#### Step 1: Influencer applies to the campaign with skipping SNS account connection

When an influencer applies without connecting an SNS account:

* The influencer submits a **public SNS profile link**
* The system performs **automatic initial eligibility checks** using publicly available data

AnyTag system will then:

* Internally register the submitted profile as a non-signup account on AnyTag
* Fetch publicly available metrics (such as follower count and engagement)

#### Step 2: Application Review & Approval

For influencers who do not connect SNS:

* Applications that do not meet minimum requirements may be **automatically** rejected
* Other applications require **manual review** by the campaign owner or internal team.

You can review and approve influencer applications in  **Applicant Influencers** tab.
{% endhint %}

### 3. Posting & Submission Requirements

Once approved, influencers follow the standard campaign execution flow with one key difference: **manual post URL submission is required**.

* Influencers publish content on the social platform within the campaign period
* Influencers must manually submit the **post link** via **AnyCreator** application.

### 4. Performance Tracking & Reporting

Even without SNS connection:

* Submitted post links are verified by the system
* Performance data is collected via scraping or available APIs
* Metrics are refreshed up to **4 times per day**

{% hint style="info" %}
Tracking accuracy depends on post visibility and platform limitations.
{% endhint %}

### 5. When Are Screenshots Required?

By default, influencers only need to submit a **post link**.

Screenshots are required for **view-based campaigns** on platforms where views cannot be reliably fetched automatically.
