What is the TINT Extension
Use the TINT Extension to obtain legal rights to your UGC from Instagram or to pull TikTok and Instagram content directly into your TINT boards, giving you access from anywhere.
Tiktok: we can add content to your TINT board to display.
Instagram: Request rights to any post on Instagram. Navigate to a post, click the extension, select and paste your message, and post the comment. TINT handles the rest of the process. We host legal terms, check for approvals, and get the highest-quality images to power your UGC marketing.

- Click on Rights Requests
-
You will see the following:
STEP 1: POST FROM/Select a sub account: Choose which account you want to do the rights request from. This is so it links back to the post and updates it automatically when the post author accepts the request.
Step 2: Choose a saved comment: We have a few pre-populated comments to choose from and any custom comment you have saved but unlike in the TINT Editor, you won’t be able to do a custom comment from here. If you want to do a custom message go back to the TINT editor, follow the instructions above and come back to your post on Instagram.
STEP 3: Terms & conditions: Click in your T&Cs. If it appears as no option, again you won’t be able to add the Terms and Conditions from here. Go back to the TINT Editor, follow the instructions above to add the T&Cs, and come back to your post on Instagram.
- Click Submit and you will get the option to Copy Comment.
- Then go to your author’s comment section and copy the comment.
- Now you just need to wait for your author to reply.
- A post is only created in the TINT editor when the author responds granting rights. If this is the first request processed on the selected TINT board, it will also generate the feed called Browser Extensions. Rights requests pending through the extension do not appear in the TINT editor but are available to see from the extension itself, click here to learn how to do this.

How to View Pending Requests
In View Pending Requests, you can view everything you have requested. Please beware that pending Requests from the Extension do not appear in TINT board. Once this gets rights approved, it will disappear from the View Pending Requests list and will appear in the Browser Extension Feed on the TINT board you picked. You can take a look at the URL by clicking on Review Post on each request.
