UGC tasks

Reward users for creating and sharing content across social platforms.

What are UGC tasks?

User-Generated Content (UGC) tasks reward users for creating and sharing content across social platforms. These tasks encourage users to produce posts, videos, images, or links related to your campaign and optionally reward them based on content performance.

Use UGC tasks to:

• Encourage content creation across platforms like X (Twitter), TikTok, and YouTube

• Track post performance through impressions or views

• Reward top contributors based on engagement metrics

• Collect user-generated images and links

For detailed information about general task settings, including task name, header, description, rewards, dependencies, and more, refer to Task settings.

Configure UGC task

When creating your task, select User Generated Content from the Groups section in the General category.

You'll see the following task options:

• Submit X post - User submits their own X post for review

• Submit TikTok video - User submits a TikTok video link for validation

• Submit YouTube video - User submits a YouTube video link for approval

• UGC image - User uploads an image as proof or content

• UGC link - User submits a link as user-generated content

• Select content from their connected platform

• Submit new content multiple times

• Track which content has already been submitted
