Paste Links to Build a Report

Paste the post URLs you already have — Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, blog posts — and InfluenceKit works out which creator posted each one and builds the report for you.

If the work has already shipped and you just want the report, you don’t have to build a campaign first. Paste the post links, and InfluenceKit figures out who posted each one, groups them by creator, and hands you a shareable report.

This is the fastest route to a report on coverage you already have. If you’re planning work that hasn’t happened yet — briefing creators, collecting drafts, tracking due dates — set up a campaign the usual way instead.

How to do it

  1. Go to Reports (or Influencer Hub).

  2. Click Paste links.

  3. Give the report a name (optional — you can rename it later).

  4. Paste your links and click Continue.

Paste whatever you’ve got. One link per line is easiest, but a comma-separated run, a column copied out of a spreadsheet, or a chunk of an email with links buried in the text all work — we pull the URLs out. Duplicates are dropped, including the same post pasted once plain and once with a tracking query on the end.

One report takes up to 120 links at a time. If you paste more, we’ll tell you how many didn’t fit so you can put the rest in a second report.

Checking the creators

The next screen shows what we worked out, grouped by creator. Each post shows its thumbnail and title where we can get them, so you can check attribution at a glance instead of reading URLs.

The review screen: one link needing a decision, then three creators with their posts

Each creator carries a badge saying how we know who they are:

  • Connected — this creator has an InfluenceKit account with their socials connected. Their own connection fetches the numbers, so the report gets reach and impressions, not just public likes and comments. This is the best case.

  • On your roster — someone you’ve saved or worked with before. We reuse that record rather than creating a second one for the same person.

  • Public profile — a profile we’ve already seen, so we know their real name and follower count.

  • New — a handle we haven’t met. We’ll add them to your roster so you can invite them later.

Every link has a dropdown next to it, so if we’ve credited a post to the wrong creator you can move it in one click.

Links that don’t name anyone

Some URLs simply don’t say who posted them. A blog post, a shortened link, a YouTube watch URL, and an old-style Instagram permalink of the instagram.com/p/… form all name the content but not the creator.

Those land in a No creator found group at the top. Pick a creator for each one, or leave them as No creator — either way they still go into the report. Uncredited doesn’t mean dropped; the post is in the report, it just isn’t attributed to a creator.

When you’re happy, click Build report.

What gets created

You land on the finished report, grouped by creator and ready to share.

The built report, grouped by creator

Behind the report, InfluenceKit builds the same structure it always has: a campaign named after your report, one assignment per creator, and their posts as deliverables. That means everything else works normally afterwards — the campaign dashboard, the share link, PDF and CSV export, and adding more deliverables later.

Stats start refreshing as soon as the deliverables are saved, the same as any other deliverable.

Getting fuller numbers afterwards

For a creator who isn’t connected to InfluenceKit, we can only see what’s public — usually likes and comments. Reach and impressions come from the creator’s own connected account.

If you want those numbers, open the campaign the report created and invite that creator to their assignment. Once they accept and connect their accounts, their deliverables start reporting full stats, and the report updates itself.

Asking Kit to do it

You can also hand the links to Kit in chat: “here are the links from the spring launch, make me a report.” Kit will show you which creators it matched and ask about anything it can’t attribute before it builds anything.

Already mid-campaign? Paste links straight into it

If you’re not starting from scratch — you already have a campaign with creators assigned — you don’t need /paste_links at all, and using it would spin up a second, parallel campaign. Instead, open the campaign’s Assignments tab and click Paste links next to New Assignment.

It’s the same paste-and-match flow described above, but scoped to the campaign you’re already in:

  • A creator who already has an assignment in this campaign gets their new links added straight to it — no new assignment, and nothing lands in a second campaign.

  • A creator new to this campaign gets a choice on the review screen: create a new assignment for them, attribute the links to an existing creator in the campaign instead (useful if we matched a handle slightly differently than you did), or skip those links entirely.

  • Links that don’t name anyone land in the campaign’s own Unattributed links assignment, same as the top-level flow.

If you’re even more specific than that — you’re already on one creator’s assignment — the ordinary Add box under Links still works exactly as before, no smart matching needed (there’s only one creator this content could belong to). The one addition: if a pasted URL’s handle doesn’t look like this creator’s — say you meant to paste it on someone else’s assignment — you’ll get a heads-up before it saves, so you can add it anyway or go paste it on the right assignment instead.
