Campaign Dashboard
A tour of your workspace and of each campaign's tabs: Overview, Posts, Creators, Payments, Referrals and Settings.
Your workspace
Open viewsbase.com/login, choose Brand or agency and sign in. The sidebar has:
- All campaigns: a card for each campaign, with Active first and Inactive below it. Workspace admins create a campaign with New campaign.
- Each campaign, with its own tabs.
- Members, Settings and Billing for workspace admins.
- Activity log for workspace admins and campaign admins. Viewing it comes with Scale and up.
New workspaces start with a Get started list: create a campaign, set how posts are counted, set a pay rate, choose who can join, add creators and connect Discord. It goes away when the first post is tracked, and you can dismiss it.
Each campaign has a pause switch called Campaign active. Campaign admins use it to stop new posts. See Post Lifecycle.
Overview
Overview is the first tab. It answers one question: what do I owe creators?
- Committed to creators is the big number. Under it: Paid out, Ready to pay and Posts.
- Needs you lists what waits on you, with one button for each. See below.
- Filters: date range (7d, 14d, 30d, 90d or All time), creators and platform.
- Cards for Posts, Active creators, Views, Views per post, Engagement and Comments, each compared with the previous period.
- Charts for post status, platform split and each creator's share of views, plus Top posts and Top creators.
- Spend by day and by creator.
Needs you
Needs you replaces the old notifications bell. It appears for admins and editors and lists only what needs action:
| Item | Open it to |
|---|---|
| Ready to pay | Open Payments |
| New payout details to check | Check the change with the creator |
| Creators who locked their payouts | Contact them before you unlock |
| No payout method chosen | See who has not chosen |
| Applications waiting | Review applications |
| Posts that need a price | Start the review, one post at a time. Enter approves and the arrows skip. |
| Analytics to verify | Check recordings. Enter approves and F flags fraud. |
| Posts flagged for quality | Skip or reject each one |
| Views spikes to review | Check before you pay |
| Posts that stopped updating | Retry or enter views |
| Creators waiting on an offer | Set their terms |
Posts
Posts lists every tracked post in the campaign. Search by creator, handle or caption. Filter by platform and status. Choose Add posts to paste links. See Tracking Posts.
Each row shows a status: Live, Needs a price, Waiting on creator, Ready to pay, Paid, Complete, Rejected, Refresh failed or Needs views. The row's main button depends on the status, for example Set price or Mark paid.
The More menu on a row has:
- Edit offer: change the post's rate tier or terms while it waits for a price
- Refresh now: fetch fresh views (Scale and up)
- Request analytics: ask the creator for a recording
- Finalize early: freeze the current views
- Reject: remove the post from earnings, with a reason
Open a post to see its details, offer terms and a views chart. In the details you can Restore post, Mark reviewed for a views spike, Retry view update and Enter views when the platform shows none. Select rows to reject several posts, or mark several paid.
Creators
Creators is the roster. Filter by Active, Ready to pay, Needs offer, Paused or All, and sort by last post, money ready, views or name. A small mark says No ViewsBase account yet for creators who have not made an account.
Add a creator
Choose Add creator. Enter the platform and handle, the campaign and the offer. For YouTube, enter the channel's @handle or its youtube.com/@name link. ViewsBase checks the handle on the platform. You can choose Paste an offer and paste the message you sent the creator to fill in rates, caps and windows.
How they are paid has four choices: by views (CPM), per post plus a view bonus, a fixed amount per post, or No CPM ($0). See Payment Engine. Rules and Discord holds the link in bio, a per-creator Minimum views and Counting window (days), and the creator's Discord channel.
If the creator already has a ViewsBase account with that handle verified, they are added at once and get an email. If not, they link the campaign when they verify the handle or use the join link. A creator with no offer shows Needs an offer, and their posts wait for a price.
Pause and resume
Pausing a creator stops new posts from them and pauses their watched account. Existing posts finish normally.
Creator details
Open a creator for their posts, offer, payout method and History, the last 20 events for them. Choose Watch account to find their new posts automatically.
Applications
If a campaign takes applications, choose Applications on the Creators tab to see each one. Use the arrows or J and K to move. Approve and add adds the creator at once. Pass (or R) asks for a reason. A pass can be undone for a few seconds, and the creator's email goes out after that. A creator with several handles has one application for each handle. Rows from the same person say "Same creator as @x, @y". Approving or passing decides that one row.
Payments
Payments lists what you owe. Mark posts paid, send payment requests to Discord, export payout files and ask creators to update their payout details. See Payment Engine. Payment history is the record of every payment.
Referrals
Referrals shows creator referral codes and what they brought in. See Integrations.
Settings
Settings is for campaign admins and workspace admins. Editors and viewers do not see it. Cards:
- Campaign: name and image
- People: who can open this campaign. Campaign admins invite editors and viewers.
- Post submission link: a public page where creators submit posts
- Joining: who can join, accepted platforms, questions and a default offer. Choose Edit.
- Discord (optional): servers where
/submit-postworks. Use Add server. - Resources: guides and assets creators get when they join
- Counting window and Auto-reject: see Post Lifecycle
- Pause creators who stop posting: off by default. When on, a creator whose latest post is older than the number of days you set is paused.
- Bad post detector (Beta): see Discord Bot
- Views spike alert
- Request analytics automatically
- Creator links: Off, dub.co, or Link template, so each creator gets their own link with their handle
- Referral attribution
- Payouts → Payout methods: which methods the campaign pays with
- Who can see the leaderboard: Hidden, Creators only or Public. Each creator can opt out.
