totally new to aspire, why are my influencer marketing campaign invites not sending out?

• Campaign Status & Launch: First off, ensure your campaign isn't still in 'Draft' mode. Many platforms, including Aspire, require a final 'launch' or 'activate' step before any outreach can begin. You might have built everything out, but haven't flipped the final switch.
• Budget Allocation & Payment: Double-check that you've correctly allocated a budget to the campaign and that your payment method is active and verified within your Aspire account. Some systems won't permit influencer outreach automation until financial parameters are squared away.
• Creator List & Invite Status: Verify that the creators you've selected are properly added to the campaign and are in a status that allows invites to be sent. Sometimes they might be in a 'saved' or 'pending review' state within your list, not yet queued for an invite.
• Mandatory Fields & Campaign Brief: Go through your campaign brief and invite message template one more time. Missing a mandatory field or an incomplete section can often block the sending process. Aspire's system can be particular about having all details filled out.
• Email Sending Permissions: If you're using a custom email sender or integrated email service, confirm that Aspire has the necessary permissions to send emails on your behalf. There might be an authentication step you missed.
• Aspire Account Limits or Review: For brand new accounts or first-time campaigns, some platforms might have temporary limits on the number of invites you can send daily, or even a brief internal review period for the campaign content itself before allowing invites to go out. Check Aspire's support documentation for any such policies.
• Creator Relationship Management Workflow: Consider the specific workflow in Aspire. Are you sending individual invites, or a bulk invite from a discovered list? Ensure you're using the correct function for your intended outreach.

Yeah, all those points Mia are really good, especially the 'activate campaign' step – that's definitely caught me out before! And for new accounts, sometimes there's just a slight delay or a manual review process on Aspire's end for the very first few invites before they properly start flowing, regardless of all the settings being correct.
