The creators you save become an outreach audience. The ones who request samples meet your Auto Review rules. The samples you approve start a sequence. 01 Find ### Creators worth a sample Filter the TikTok Shop creator marketplace by category, followers, GMV range, average views, audience and content type, or describe who you want in plain English and edit the filters Tidecollab writes. Start from creators you trust and find similar ones. Plain-English searchSimilar creatorsProfile drawer [Creator discovery](https://tidecollab.com/product/discovery) > Illustration of a plain-English creator search turned into editable filter chips. Example data. 02 Organize ### Every relationship in one place Static lists for hand-picked creators, dynamic segments that keep their membership current from a saved filter, tags, notes, custom fields and a block list. Bring your creator list in by CSV and take it out the same way. ListsDynamic segmentsCSV [Affiliate CRM](https://tidecollab.com/product/crm) > Illustration of a static list and a dynamic segment side by side. Example data. 03 Invite ### Invites and DMs inside TikTok's limits An outreach agent sends a target collaboration invite, a first message, or both, to a list or segment. It keeps to your sending hours and daily cap, reads TikTok's weekly outreach quota, and sends up to two follow-ups that stop when a creator replies or asks for a sample. Sending hoursDaily caps5 DMs per creator a week [Outreach agents](https://tidecollab.com/product/outreach) > Illustration of an outreach message with filled placeholders; a placeholder that can't be filled stops the send. Example data. 04 Sample ### Sample requests decided by rule Auto Review checks every waiting sample request against approval rules first, then rejection rules, with caps you set. Preview it against today's queue before it decides anything for real. Approval rulesCapsPreview [Samples & Auto Review](https://tidecollab.com/product/samples) > Illustration of two Auto Review rules joined with AND. Example data. 05 Follow up ### Every sample followed to a post A sequence picks up each approved sample and messages the creator at the stage it reaches: ready to ship, shipped, content pending, not delivered, video posted. Branch on what happens, skip creators already in another sequence, and export the report.
