Collaboration Preferences
Control who can discover and contact you across all PodSwap features by configuring your custom collaboration gates.
What are Collaboration Preferences?
Collaboration Preferences act as privacy and quality filters that control who is allowed to discover you in the Creator Directory.
By toggling on different "gates," you set strict requirements that other creators must meet in order for your profile to appear in their search results. If a creator does not meet your criteria, you remain completely invisible to them. They do not receive a rejection notification; your account just simply will not show up in their directory feed.
Minimum Follower Tier
This gate allows you to establish a floor for the audience size of creators who can discover your profile.
You can select a specific follower group tier (e.g., "10k - 50k followers"). Once active, any creator whose audience size falls below this minimum threshold will not be able to find or engage with you through the directory.
Verified Accounts Only
If you only want to collaborate with highly established creators, you can restrict your visibility strictly to Instagram-verified accounts.
Note: This premium filter is only available if your own connected Instagram account is officially verified.
Niche Alignment
Relevance is critical for successful collaborations. By enabling the Niche Alignment gate, you ensure that only creators who share at least one of your selected niche categories can discover you.
Ensure your own account niches are up to date in your settings; otherwise, enabling this rule with zero configured niches will effectively block everyone from finding you.
Location Preference
If you are looking for local meetups, regional brand deals, or culturally relevant cross-promotions, you can restrict your visibility based on geography.
You can limit your discoverability to creators within the same:
- State (Currently limited to enabled regions, requires your state to be set)
- Country
- Continent
