There are two ways to request content rights through Cevoid: sending a direct message or leaving a comment under the original post.
This article explains how to send requests through direct messages. Click here to learn how to request rights through comments.
When sending requests through DM (direct message), you ask the creator to click a link and approve your request through a form.
When you send requests through DM, you also give the creator an option to whitelist themself. If they check this option, you will get access to future posts without the need to send new requests.
Set up your DM request templates
When you send a request, you have access to your templates which includes all the necessary information for a message. We recommend that you set up at least one template for each language you plan to send requests in.
To set up a message template for comments,
Navigate to Settings > Instagram
Click Edit next to request message
Select Direct messages
Click New message
Enter the following information
Title - Used internally by your team
Request message - The default message you want to use for this template

Auto-approve
If you want the post to display directly in your galleries when the creator has approved your request, you can check the Auto-approve box.
Post status after you have sent a request
After you’ve sent your request, note that a post can have four different statuses.
Pending status means you’ve sent the request, and the creator has yet to respond.
Approved status means the creator has replied to your comment with the accepted hashtag, allowing you to use their content.
Declined status means the creator has rejected your request to use their content.
