Overview

Assignments are structured tasks you send to your existing advocates — customers already in your Deeto program — asking them to take a specific action on behalf of your brand. The goal is to generate authentic social proof, increase brand visibility, and collect feedback at scale, while rewarding advocates with points for every completed task. Each assignment has a type (such as a G2 review, a LinkedIn post, or a meeting booking), a points reward, a deadline, and a built-in step-by-step workflow that guides the advocate from reading the brief all the way through to claiming their reward. Assignments are found under Workflows → Assignments in your Deeto workspace. You can create and send them directly to individual advocates, or distribute them at scale through an Assignments Only campaign.

Assignment Types

When creating a new assignment, you choose from six types across three categories:

Social

Feedback

Meeting


Creating an Assignment

Step 1 — Choose a type

Navigate to Workflows → Assignments and click Create assignment in the top-right corner. Select the assignment type that matches the action you want advocates to take.

Step 2 — Configure the assignment settings

Every assignment requires the following fields:

Step 3 — Set the approval workflow

You have two independent approval gates you can toggle on or off: Submission approval — requires the advocate to submit their work (a draft, a screenshot, or a link) before the assignment is marked complete. When enabled, choose one of two review modes:
  • Review and approve content manually — Deeto AI suggests whether to approve or request revision, but you make the final call
  • Let Deeto AI approve content automatically — Deeto AI reviews each submission against your brief and grants the reward automatically
Deeto AI acts as a content reviewer. It compares each submission against your assignment brief and suggests approval or revision based on how well the contribution meets your brief. You can always override AI suggestions before anything is sent.
Reward approval — requires the advocate to submit proof of completion (a screenshot or link) before the reward is granted. This is separate from submission approval and can be enabled independently.

Step 4 — Review the advocate-facing content

The bottom of the assignment creation form has up to three tabs depending on the assignment type: Overview — Shows the step-by-step instructions your advocate will see. You can customise the brief text to match your brand voice and specific requirements. Draft review — Available for G2 Review, LinkedIn Post, and Reddit Threads. This is a read-only vendor preview showing exactly what the advocate will see when they open the assignment. The advocate fills in a “Describe your approach” field to explain their plan before submitting content for your review. The tab also shows a warning the advocate sees: “Do not publish before review — Hold off on publishing until the marketing team has reviewed and approved your post.” You cannot edit this tab — it reflects the built-in template for that assignment type. Verification — Shows the proof-of-completion form the advocate will see, typically a screenshot upload and/or a link field. This tab is not editable.

Step 5 — Save and send

Click Save to save the assignment as a draft, or proceed to send it to advocates directly or through a campaign.

What Happens After You Send an Assignment

Once you send an assignment, what your advocate experiences depends on the approval settings you configured. If both submission approval and reward approval are off — the assignment is treated as a simple task. Your advocate sees an “I did it” button. When they click it, the assignment is marked complete and the reward is granted immediately. No review needed on your end. If submission approval is on — your advocate submits their draft or content for your review before they publish anything. You’ll see it in your inbox and can approve it or request a revision. Once approved, they’re cleared to publish and share. If reward approval is on — after publishing, your advocate submits proof (a screenshot or a link) for your review. Once you accept it, the reward is granted. At any point, if you reject a submission or proof, your advocate receives feedback and can resubmit. You stay in control of quality at every step.
