    This article covers the process of self-reporting campaign content. Self-reporting enables creators to manually add their campaign posts and performance metrics to Later when it can’t be bound automatically through content binding.

    Note: You can apply to campaigns using Instagram alone. However, automatic content binding requires full account authentication. If required permissions are missing or have expired, you may need to self-report campaign content manually.

    When Should I Self-Report Content?

    Most content posted for campaigns can be bound and tracked automatically by Later, allowing the brand to access all posts and metrics in a central dashboard; however, if your content is failing to bind automatically for any reason, you can self-report it instead. Self-reporting may also be requested by the brand due to API outages or other factors. It can also be used for faster data collection. 

    The following content types can’t be tracked automatically and must be self-reported:

    • Facebook Posts
    • YouTube Shorts & Videos
    • LinkedIn Posts
    • Snapchat Stories
    • Twitch Streams
    • High-resolution Images & Videos
    • Blog Posts
    • Product Reviews

    Furthermore, there are file size limits for self-reported content: 500MB for videos, 50MB for photos. 

    Note: TikTok videos can’t be self-reported. If you select TikTok as the content type to upload, you'll be provided a unique link to upload through. If you've already uploaded your video, you can link it to the campaign retroactively. For details, see Publish TikTok Content For Campaigns.

    Self-Report Campaign Content

    These are the steps to manually self-report your own campaign content:

    1. Select the self-report link from the brand, or navigate to the Content Deliverables section of your campaign manager
    2. Select the content type you want to report (for example, YouTube Video, Facebook Reel, etc.)
    3. Upload the content
      • Each piece of content must be uploaded separately
    4. Enter any engagement metrics including views, likes, or comments
    5. Select Submit

    Once self-reported, your content will show up in the Content Deliverables section as Received.
