How to configure Find creators to explore

Discover creators, choose profiles and collect their available public details. This guide explains how to configure the run and review its inputs in CrowdYeti.

• Input: TikTok keywords.
• Output: Chosen creator profiles with audience information.
• Coverage: Source accessibility and provider support determine available records and fields.
• Limits: Profiles come from TikTok’s creator search, so accounts without videos may be missing. Public results may be incomplete. The limit is a maximum, not a guaranteed collection size. Connected lookups have input limits. Review each step before running. Matching names across platforms do not prove a shared identity.
• Availability: Use available credits for live runs without manual activation. Runs remain subject to service availability and account restrictions. Check Settings and review the maximum credit cost before starting.
• Usage: Review the record limit and maximum credit cost in setup. Unused reserved credits return after the charge is confirmed; a search that finds nothing can still cost credits, but a run is not charged if the source breaks and returns nothing.

1. Choose your source: Start with tiktok keywords. Use the exact public source that fits your research question, and check it contains the activity you want to inspect.

2. Review the available fields: Available output includes Chosen creator profiles with audience information. Decide which details are useful and retain source links with your selection. Actual coverage depends on the source and provider.

   Keep observed facts separate from inferred details. Missing fields should remain missing rather than being presented as verified information.

3. Choose your selection criteria: Write down what makes a record useful before adding deeper research. A relevant topic, a clearly expressed need or a public profile that fits your brief is more useful than a large unreviewed list.

4. Configure your run: Open the populated workflow template, enter the required sources and review each connected Scout, filter and review step.

   Save a separate draft when changing the research source or purpose, so the intended inputs and review criteria remain clear.

5. Inspect coverage and limits: Public platform totals do not guarantee that every record is accessible. Review available fields, duplicate handling and source limits before treating a dataset as complete.

6. Review before execution: Use available credits for live runs without manual activation. Runs remain subject to service availability and account restrictions. Check Settings and review the maximum credit cost before starting.

   Saving a workflow does not start collection. Start the run explicitly, follow its progress in Runs and review the saved records before exporting.
