Holiday mode lets an influencer signal that they are temporarily unavailable for new campaigns. It is designed for planned absences such as travel, illness, or peak season overload.
Enabling Holiday Mode
- Go to Settings → Availability in the influencer dashboard.
- Toggle Holiday Mode on.
- Set a return date (required). Optionally add a reason and an autoreply message for incoming messages.
- Save.
Server-Side Enforcement
An influencer with active projects (status = 'active') cannot enable holiday mode. They must complete or close all active projects first.
Effects While on Holiday
- The influencer’s profile is excluded from brand discovery search results.
- Brand invitation attempts are blocked with a holiday notice.
- Incoming direct messages receive the autoreply text if one was set.
Returning from Holiday
Turn holiday mode off from Settings → Availability at any time — including before your stated return date. Your profile is restored to full visibility in brand discovery results immediately. Brands who had bookmarked your profile can find you again, but they are not notified automatically that you are back.
The return date you set is informational — it is displayed on your profile card so brands know when to expect you, but the platform does not automatically disable holiday mode on that date. You must turn it off manually when you return.
