Written by Guy Schragger - Sauce Social Commerce

Steps to Request Permission:

  1. Navigate to the UGC Tab:
    Open your Sauce Media Library and go to the 'UGC' (User-Generated Content) tab.
    ​

  2. Select the Media:
    Choose the Instagram post that you'd like to request permission for.
    ​

  3. Click on Rights Management:
    Find and click on the 'Rights Management' icon, represented by the little RM icon.
    ​

  4. Draft Your Request:
    A message box will appear. Type in your permission request message here.
    ​

  5. Send Comment:
    After you've drafted your request, click on 'Send Comment'. This will publish your message as a comment under the selected Instagram post. Note that we can only post a comment on your behalf if the UGC post is one in which you are mentioned. For non-mentioned posts, you will need to paste the comment on the post on Instagram.
    ​

Waiting for Approval:

  • Notification of Approval:
    Once the content creator approves your request by commenting back with a specific hashtag, you'll automatically receive a notification.
    ​

  • Check the Status:
    You can also see the status of all your pending and approved requests in the 'Rights Management' section, located under the UGC tab.
    ​

And that's it! You're now equipped to share user-generated content responsibly and ethically. So don't hold back—dive in and start leveraging this fantastic feature to enrich your brand's social media presence.
