Everything that happens after a brand says yes. Each deal in UGC Planner holds: - **The brand and the collab type:** Paid, Gifted, Gift Card, Affiliate or PR, inbound or outbound. - **Deliverables** with format, quantity and price, a delivered checkbox each, and the total added up. - **Usage rights** per deliverable: duration, channels, fee, exclusivity and whitelisting. - **The product shipment:** tracking number and expected delivery date. - **The brief, revision notes, the deadline and how you get paid.** ## What are the stages of a UGC deal? Tap the stage on a deal to move it. These are the 15 stages, in the order the app lists them. Gifted, Gift Card and PR deals skip Awaiting payment and finish at Done instead of Paid. **Deal stages in UGC Planner** | Stage | What it means | |---|---| | Outreach sent | Pitch sent, waiting for reply | | Brief received | Brand sent a brief, decide to take it | | Negotiating | Talking about scope or rate | | Accepted | Terms agreed, ready to lock in | | Contract signed | Locked in, awaiting product or filming | | Product shipping | On the way to you | | Got product | Product in hand, ready to film | | In progress | Filming or editing | | Submitted | Sent to brand for review | | Revisions requested | Brand asked for changes | | Approved | Brand confirmed, ready to post | | Posted | Live, awaiting payment | | Awaiting payment | Invoice sent, waiting | | Paid | Money received, archived | | Declined | Deal didn't go through | Deadlines ## How do I keep track of UGC deadlines? Every deal's deadline appears in the calendar next to your shoots and meetings. You get a notification a week before, two days before and on the day, at 9 am. The Today screen starts with what is due today and what arrives today. - **Worth a glance** on Today points at what needs a nudge: a deadline that passed, a deal with no movement for a week, a brand that hasn't reviewed or hasn't paid. - Approved deals get a button to mark them paid. Product shipping ## How do I track the product a brand ships me? When a deal reaches Product shipping, add the tracking number and the expected delivery date. The number stays on the deal, and Track package looks it up in one tap. The arrival date shows on Today and in the calendar, and Mark as received moves the deal to Got product. After you send ## Can I see when a brand opens my files? Yes. Send videos, photos and documents to the brand in one link, and UGC Planner logs every open, play and download with the time it happened, and notifies you. You choose whether the brand can download. See [content delivery](https://ugcplanner.com/features/content-delivery). Getting paid ## How do I track what brands owe me? Awaiting Pay on the Today screen counts every approved, posted and awaiting-payment deal. When a paid deal reaches Approved, UGC Planner offers to create the invoice from it. Mark it paid and the money lands in Money, next to your monthly goal. See [invoices](https://ugcplanner.com/features/invoices). ## A UGC tracker app or a spreadsheet template? A spreadsheet or a Notion template works when you have a few deals.

Voice Fill fills in the form. - **Move the stage** Tap the stage as things happen: contract signed, product shipping, submitted, approved. - **Send the files** Upload the content and send the brand one link.
