User-Generated Content Rights Monitor

Overview

What it does: Every 3 days, this workflow searches your branded hashtag on Instagram (and other platforms). For each UGC post found, it: 1. Analyzes creator profile (followers, engagement, posting frequency) 2. Classifies post sentiment (brand-safe?) 3. Estimates commercial value (can we repurpose this?) 4. Determines rights status (public use OK? Contact needed?) 5. Suggests next steps (contact for commercial license, repost, feature in ads) Results are logged to a Google Sheet with a priority ranking. Your brand team gets Slack alerts on high-value UGC opportunities. Business outcome: Unlock free content to repurpose in marketing. Build relationships with brand advocates.
