Create a Profile in your IRM
What Do I Need to Create a Profile?
The account must meet the following criteria:
- Be public (meaning that anyone on that social network can see it).
- Have at least 1,000 followers.
- Not have content that's inappropriate for minors.
Note: 1,000 followers is generally the minimum to be considered an influencer.
What Are the Steps to Create a Profile?
If your profiles meets the 3 criteria above, you’re ready to begin:
- Go to the Influencers tab and select Profiles. In this view, you’ll see all the profiles that you’ve added from Discover. To add a new one, select Add profiles.
- A side window will appear. Select a social media network and paste the profile URL below.
Warning: When copying a URL, make sure you use the link from the profile homepage, not from a post or video.
- Under Profile Stats, choose if you wish to analyze this profile. If you do, you’ll see all its main KPIs for the cost of 1 monthly analysis. If you do not select this option, this profile will be included in your IRM, but no performance data will be available.
- Click Save.
- This profile has now been successfully included in your IRM. Click on the @handle to see its detailed metrics and add price information.
- To see all the information about your collaboration, click on Associate with an influencer.
Disclaimer: Please note that adding a profile to the platform will automatically generate the associated influencer entry, regardless of whether it is analyzed. You can later on decide if you want to analyze or not the influencer.

Troubleshooting
Check out our answers to your most common questions below.
I Created an Influencer, but I Don’t See Their KPIs
To see KPIs on an influencer’s page in your IRM, you must associate their social media profiles. For example, in the section above we created an influencer named Kylie. To see her performance across her social media accounts, we’d have to add her Instagram page (@kyliejenner), TikTok page, Twitch page and YouTube channel.
I Added a Profile, but I Don’t See an Email Address
Adding a profile to your IRM allows you full access to all its performance KPIs; however, to see the public email address associated with a profile you’d have to associate that profile with an influencer.
How Can I Contact an Influencer that I Add to My IRM?
The first step is to associate this influencer’s various social media profiles. Once this is complete, their public email address will appear on their page in your IRM. Click the Mail icon to send them an email directly from the Influencity platform.
