How to invite discovered influencers and directly onboard influencers you’ve already vetted, including single, bulk, and manual invite flows.
Mention Me supports two ways to bring influencers into your programme: inviting discovered influencers from the Suggested section, and directly inviting influencers by email (bypassing the application process entirely).
When inviting, you can send via Mention Me using the invite email template (previously configured) or manually through your own CRM.

For emails sent via Mention Me, after clicking Invite:
1
Select programme
Select which programme to invite the influencer into. All of your programmes are available, regardless of the influencer’s suitability scores - scores are advisory and do not restrict which programmes you can invite to. If you only have one programme, it is selected automatically.
2
Choose language
Choose the language for the email (auto-selected if only one is set up).
Download a list of influencer emails and send invitations directly from your own CRM.Once your influencers have been invited, proceed to reviewing and onboarding them.
For influencers you’ve already vetted — from an outreach campaign, a personal introduction, or an existing relationship — you can invite them directly. No application process is required. You can invite up to 100 influencers at once.
Navigate to My Influencers and click the Invite influencers button in the top-right corner.
