Reviewing submissions: approving and rejecting clips
Every clip submitted to your campaign waits for your decision. Nothing earns until you approve it.
- 1
Open Submissions
Pending clips are listed newest-last. Each card shows the post, the creator's connected account, the caption checks, and the views so far.
- 2
Approve
Views count from the moment you approve. Fast reviews matter: campaigns that approve within a day get more clips from the same creators.
- 3
Reject with a reason
Pick a reason chip or write one. The creator sees it on their clip with a Resubmit button, so a fixable mistake (a missing hashtag, a bio link) comes back fixed rather than lost.
Bulk review
Select several clips and approve or reject them in one go. A rejection reason applies to the whole batch.
A rejection for botted views is different — see Botted or fake views — it reports the creator to Shoot and can ban them from your Shoot.
How long rejections stay in your queue
A rejected clip stays in your Rejected tab for 14 days from the rejection, so a creator who asks you to take another look can still be found. After that it leaves the list (you can also clear one earlier from its card), but it is never deleted: searching by username, creator, post link or submission id still finds it. The creator keeps the rejection, with your reason, on their own clips list until they remove it themselves.

Botted or fake views on a submission
Shoot scores every clip's bot risk from its view timeline. Above the threshold you get a Botted views rejection option that reports the creator to Shoot and can ban them from your Shoot.
Resubmissions after a rejection
A rejected clip can come back once as the same post (fixed) or as a new post. You review it like any other submission.
How often are views updated?
Shoot re-checks a clip's views about once an hour for its first 24 hours, then roughly every two hours while it's still earning. Clips that have finalised — capped, ended, or budget-spent — refresh about every 12 hours, so the number you see on Shoot can lag the platform slightly.
