Profile Merge and Profile Refresh
Profile Merge
If there are two Sprout Social Influencer Marketing Profiles for the same Creator, users can merge them. To do so, select the ellipsis, then select "Merge Profile."
For example, if a Creator has two Profiles on Sprout Social Influencer Marketing, one that contains their Instagram handle, one their Twitter handle, merge the Profiles to house all data from both handles in one Profile.
- Sprout Social Influencer Marketing Tip -
If a Creator has two Profiles on Sprout Social Influencer Marketing, the Profile that includes an Instagram Handle should be in the Primary Profile column.
Profile Refresh
When viewing a Profile, keep in mind that the connected APIs refresh the information on a schedule. The information contained within a Profile may not always be up-to-date. To populate a Profile's most recent data, run a refresh. To do so, follow the steps below:
Step 1:
Select the ellipsis.
Step 2:
Select "Refresh Profile."
Collecting the most recent data from the linked platform APIs assures that the Profile contains the most up-to-date information available, including Creator content and all the Sprout Social Influencer Marketing-calculated metrics that accompany that content.

Third-Party Authorization Status
Within the About tab, Sprout Social Influencer Marketing displays the account status regarding authorization for both Instagram and YouTube. To determine authorization status, Sprout Social Influencer Marketing uses the following color-coded system:
Instagram
Red: The selected Profile is not an Instagram Business/Creator Account.
Yellow: The selected Profile is a Business/Creator Account but is not authorized.
Insights data (for example, impressions and story data) is not available.
Green: The selected Profile is a Business/Creator and is authorized. Therefore insights data is available.
YouTube
Red: The selected Profile is not authorized.
Green: The selected Profile is authorized, which provides additional access to YouTube post metrics within Campaigns.
Organization Default
Organization Defaults, such as the selected Profile's bio, are displayed in the left-hand pane. Users can customize cells within Organization Defaults, and changes will only reflect within a user's Organization.
Customize the following information within an Organization:
Photo: Allows users to input a custom avatar photo for the selected profile. Add a photo here to update the Profile Photo within the Agency Portal, Collaborator Portal, and Report Builder.
Background Photo: Input a custom background photo for the selected Profile. Update the background photo on a Profile within the Agency Portal and the Collaborator Portal.

If this information is publicly available over the connected APIs, Sprout Social Influencer Marketing will populate this information to all users.
To edit a Creators email, select the email section. Changes made here will only be seen by other users within the same organization.
Please note, editing the email address here changes the email for the Creator in new Campaigns within the Organization but will not affect any existing Campaigns.
Mailing Address: Add a mailing address to a Creator's Profile.
Sprout Social Influencer Marketing understands that a Creator's mailing address is sensitive information, so no data from this field is shared outside the user's Organization.
Bio: Add or edit the biography displayed on the left-hand pane of the Profile. Edits made to a Profile's bio will only reflect within the user's Organization.
Please note, changes made here will reflect in Report Builder.
