# influData Platform Help

Helps the user with influData platform questions — from AI-powered creator discovery and audience analysis through campaign tracking, social listening, outreach mailing, and reporting.

## Step 1 — Gather context


If `references/learnings.md` exists, read it first for accumulated knowledge.

Ask the user:

1. **What do you need help with?**
   - A) Finding influencers — search, filters, lookalikes
   - B) Analyzing a creator — audience quality, demographics, engagement
   - C) Campaign tracking — setting up tracking, reading KPIs, reporting
   - D) Social listening — brand mentions, hashtag tracking, UGC discovery
   - E) Outreach mailing — emailing creators from influData
   - F) Co-Pilot AI — using the AI assistant for profile insights
   - G) Chrome extension — viewing creator data on Instagram/TikTok
   - H) Pricing / plan selection
   - I) Something else — describe it

2. **Which social platforms are you targeting?**
   - A) Instagram
   - B) TikTok
   - C) YouTube / YouTube Shorts
   - D) Twitch
   - E) Snapchat / Facebook
   - F) Multiple — specify which

3. **What's your influData plan?**
   - A) Pro (€599/mo)
   - B) All-In (€1,199/mo)
   - C) Enterprise (custom)
   - D) Free trial / evaluating
   - E) Not sure

**If the user's request already provides most of this context, skip directly to the relevant step.** Lead with your best-effort answer using reasonable assumptions (stated explicitly), then ask only the most critical 1-2 clarifying questions at the end.

## Step 2 — Route or answer directly

If the request maps to a specialized skill, route:
- Ad campaign strategy / targeting / bidding → `/sales-retargeting` or `/sales-b2b-advertising`
- Email marketing to subscribers → `/sales-email-marketing`
- Affiliate program design → `/sales-affiliate-program`
- UGC gallery / shoppable content → `/sales-tagshop`
- Tool integration architecture → `/sales-integration`

Otherwise, answer directly from platform knowledge below.

## Step 3 — influData platform reference

**Read `references/platform-guide.md`** for detailed module documentation, pricing, integrations, and data model.

*You no longer need the platform guide details — focus on the user's specific situation.*

## Step 4 — Actionable guidance

Based on the user's specific question:

1. **Step-by-step instructions** — walk through the task in influData
2. **Search strategy** — how to construct effective prompts and filter combinations
3. **Audience vetting framework** — which metrics matter most for the user's goals
4. **Campaign setup checklist** — what to configure before launching tracking
5. **Reporting templates** — how to structure influencer campaign reports

### Creator vetting checklist

| Check | What to look for | Red flag |
|---|---|---|
| Engagement rate | 1-3% for 100K+, 3-6% for under 100K | Under 1% or suspiciously over 10% |
| Follower growth | Steady organic growth | Sudden spikes (purchased followers) |
| Audience location | Matches target market | Audience in unexpected countries |
| Audience authenticity | Low fake follower % | Over 30% suspicious accounts |
| Brand collaborations | Complementary brands | Competitor collaborations |
| Content quality | Consistent, on-brand | Inconsistent posting, off-topic |

## Gotchas

*Best-effort from research — review these, especially items about plan-gated features and integration gotchas that may be outdated.*

- **Audience reports are rationed.** Pro gets 300/year, All-In gets 1,200/year. Each time you unlock a creator's audience demographics, it consumes one report. Plan your vetting workflow to avoid burning reports on creators you'll reject for other reasons (check engagement rate and content quality first — those are free).
- **Pro plan doesn't include all platforms.** Pro covers Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube only. If you need Twitch, Snapchat, or Facebook data, you need All-In or Enterprise.
- **Sentiment analysis is rationed.** Pro gets 10 community sentiment analyses per year, All-In gets 30, Enterprise gets 120. The "shitstorm detection" and comment analysis features — arguably the most differentiated features — are very limited on Pro.
- **No public API docs.** If you need programmatic access to influData data, you must be on Enterprise and request API documentation from their sales team. There's no self-serve developer portal.
- **12-month minimum on all plans.** There's no monthly billing option. Factor this into your evaluation — you're committing to at least €7,188 (Pro) or €14,388 (All-In) annually.
- **Audience data can be slow.** Capterra reviewers note that unlocking audience demographic reports has gotten slower over time. Plan for this during time-sensitive campaign planning.
- **Data accuracy varies by platform.** Some reviewers report occasional inaccuracies in audience data, particularly for smaller creators or newer platforms (Twitch, Snapchat). Cross-reference key data points with the creator's own analytics when possible.
- **Lookalike builder is powerful but needs good seeds.** The AI Lookalike Builder requires up to 3 brands or 10 creators as input. If your seed profiles are too diverse, results will be scattered. Use seeds with similar audience profiles for best results.

- **Self-improving**: If you discover something not covered here, append it to `references/learnings.md` with today's date.
