Shared creator inbox
Meta and Instagram DMs in a team queue with owner, status, last touch, and “needs reply” views.
For Shopify teams running creator ads
Built for Shopify teams running creator ads: heavy Meta partnership ads, growing YouTube spend, Instagram DMs everywhere, and spreadsheets that do more than most software.

What breaks today
Instagram DMs show the conversation, but not who owns it.
Sheets show the roster, but not the latest blocker.
Drive has the raw clips, but not whether ads can run yet.
Meta has spend and access, but not payment context.
YouTube and Google creator ads grow into their own second tracker.
Multiple people reply, so work gets doubled, dropped, or guessed.
The V1 shape
CreatorBoard should feel like the sheet the team already trusts, with the missing operational layer added on top.
Pull in Instagram creator conversations, assign them to the right person, and flag what still needs a reply.
Handle, niche, code, size, shipping, PayPal, access status, uploaded assets, and notes stay beside the thread.
See what to run, where the raw files live, current spend, ROAS, impressions, purchases, and payout math.
Offerings to nail first
Meta and Instagram DMs in a team queue with owner, status, last touch, and “needs reply” views.
Clear next step: waiting on creator, waiting on team, needs payment, needs asset, ready to run, or paused.
Base fee, spend percentage, bonus, PayPal, paid status, and monthly owed amount beside the conversation.
What to film, what has been uploaded, where the Drive folder is, and what creative is ready for editing.
Spend, ROAS, impressions, purchases, creator code, and fatigue signals without digging through ad accounts.
Import the current roster, sync clean fields back, and keep Google Drive as the place where raw files live.
Positioning
The line to defend: CreatorBoard is the operating layer for creator ad programs. It does not replace Meta, Shopify, Sheets, Drive, or Slack. No CRM cosplay. No dashboard theater. It keeps the team from losing the thread.
