Unverified talent refers to individuals who have not yet created an account and linked their socials to Foam. Adding unverified talent can be helpful when your creators are still in the process of signing up for Foam, but you'd like to include them in your roster, custom list, or embeds.
While you won't have access to the detailed content and metrics for unverified talent, you can still view their name, avatar, linked social accounts, and number of followers.
📌 Unverified talent can be submitted for consideration in Whalar Brand Deals; however, they must verify their social accounts to participate in a campaign and gain access to the Payments and Messaging tabs. If you wish to submit your talent for brand deals, please refer to the following article.
Adding Unverified Talent
1. Log in to your Foam account.
2. Click on your profile icon in the top right and select "Add Talent".

4. Confirm the account you want to add by clicking "Next".
5. Complete the creator's profile by customizing their name and avatar. Once done, click "Next".
6. All set! Your unverified talent will now appear on your talent page, as well as in your Chrome Extension and embeds.
