How your influencer community is calculated and managed

Understanding community size in Upfluence

Updated yesterday

If you’re reading this, you’re likely wondering about Upfluence’s community size and how it’s calculated. Below, we answer the most frequently asked questions to provide full transparency.

What is your influencer community

Your influencer community is the total number of unique influencer profiles stored in your Community (IRM) app.

Actions add an influencer to your community

An influencer is automatically added when you:

  • Add a profile to a list from search

  • Reveal an influencer’s email, even if you don’t add them to a list

  • Send an email to a profile

  • Add a profile to a campaign

  • Include a profile in a Stream

  • Capture an influencer via Live Capture or a third-party integration (Shopify, Klaviyo, WooCommerce, Zapier, etc.)

  • Use the Chrome Extension to add a profile

  • Upload a file with influencer data

  • Export an influencer's full data

Influencers can also be added back after deletion if:

  • They respond to an email

  • They interact with a Campaign (e.g., apply, upload content, request payment)

How to check your influencer community size

For maximum transparency, you can view your influencer count in multiple locations:

  • Community table view

  • Navigation bar throughout Upfluence

  • Upfluence welcome page

  • Billing & Usage tab in Account Settings

Frequently asked questions


Why does Upfluence have community size limits?

Upfluence regularly analyzes and updates influencer metrics for accurate insights. Data processing has associated costs, and community size plans help maintain data quality while keeping pricing flexible.


What does "You've reached your community capacity" mean?

If you see a message saying you’ve reached your community limit, it means you’re close to or have exceeded the number of influencers allowed in your plan.


How can I change my community size?

Your community size defines the maximum number of influencers you can manage. If you reach your limit, you can adjust your plan to accommodate more influencers.


What happens when I reject an influencer?

  • Before adding them: They will not be added to your community.

  • After adding them: They will still be part of your community, but you can manually remove them.


Why are there influencers in my community that I haven't added to any lists, emails, campaigns, or streams?

This could have happened for a few reasons:

  • Email reveal: Revealing an influencer’s email automatically adds them to your community.

  • Live capture match: Influencers might have been automatically matched and added through Live Capture.

  • Plugin addition: Influencers added via the Chrome plugin will appear in your community.


How can I determine who added an influencer to our community?

To find out who added an influencer:

  1. Navigate to the Community(IRM) table view within Upfluence.

  2. Go to Manage Fields and enable the “Owner” column, which will show who added the influencer's profile to the database.
