How Long Does It Take for Your Post to Be Reviewed on Ainfluencer?
There is no fixed review time, and it is important to be straight about that rather than quoting one. Review is done by the brand or by an Ainfluencer admin, and nothing approves automatically.
The thing to understand about getting paid
There is no automatic approval. Payment is released only when the brand or an Ainfluencer admin approves your delivery. If nobody approves, the deal fails and the money goes back to the brand. Posting on time is necessary but it is not sufficient.
What this page used to say
Correction to an earlier version of this page. It said the maximum review time is the deadline you agreed with the brand. That is not how it works. The agreed deadline is when you have to post. The clock that matters after you post is the refund timer below, which runs from when you submitted, not from the agreed date.
The clock that actually applies
Submitting a readable link pushes your deadline out by 7 days. A link we cannot read does not push it at all
| What you did | Deal fails | Brand is refunded |
|---|---|---|
| Submitted a link we could read (Instagram post or reel, TikTok, YouTube) | About 9 days after you submitted | About 10 days after you submitted |
| Uploaded content files | About 9 days after upload | About 10 days after upload |
| Submitted a link we could not read (a story, a private post, an unsupported site) | 2 days after the agreed publish date | 3 days after the agreed publish date |
| Submitted nothing | 2 days after the agreed publish date | 3 days after the agreed publish date |
| The brand disapproved | Straight away | 14 days after the deal’s start date |
The single biggest trap in delivery
An Instagram story is not a readable link. Nor is a private post, a profile link, or a link on an unsupported site. When we cannot fetch the post, your deadline is not extended by 7 days, so a late submission can fail within hours. Submit the direct link to a feed post or reel.
What to do while you wait
1
Check the deal in your inbox, not the Scheduler. Waiting deals are not listed in the Scheduler tabs.
2
Published & Waiting Approval means we have your submission.
3
Message the brand. Asking them to approve in the chat is the single most effective thing you can do, because their approval is what releases the money.
4
If nothing moves after several days, contact support and ask for a review. An admin can approve the delivery.
Good to know
Do not wait silently. A brand who has gone quiet is the most common reason a genuine, on-time delivery still ends in a refund. One polite message in the chat prevents most of these.
Once it is approved
The money moves from escrow into your available wallet balance within about a minute, and you get Funds Added to Wallet. From there you request a payout, which our finance team pays by hand.
Why this helps you
Approval being a human decision is why a brand can accept a post that was not pixel-perfect to the brief, and why a genuine delivery can be approved by our team when a brand simply disappears. Ask for it rather than waiting for it.
