When you hit “create” on a new term, UGC gets to work preparing for ingestion. If you navigate to the Terms screen, you’ll notice your new term has a status of Preparing…
Visual UGC will try and backfill some old content to get you started. Generally, content from new terms will begin to arrive within 20-30 minutes.
Below is a guideline of how many pieces of content will backfill for each network:
Instagram: Up to 120 pieces of content
TikTok: Up to 100 pieces of content
YouTube: Up to 25 pieces of content
Pinterest: Up to 25 pieces of content
Tumblr: Up to 20 pieces of content
Facebook: Up to 25 pieces of content
Twitter: Up to 25 pieces of content*
Twitter only allows backfilling with content posted in the previous 6-9 days.
A note about previews: The preview panel on the “Create Term” screen is just a sample of content designed to give you an idea of the content that will be ingested.
Running a campaign?
To ensure UGC is ingesting content when your campaign launches, we recommend you set up your terms at least a few days before your campaign launch.
This will ensure ingestion has begun and give you time to check your terms are set up and ingesting correctly.
