Changelog #13 (October 18, 2022)

This week we launched the Sales Training module on the admin dashboard, launched Analytics access for vendors, added email notifications for the rejected banner ads, and deployed some UI changes to make it easier to monitor your balance and ad spend and configure banner ads.

Release Notes

Ad Sales Training

We understand that a new ad solution comes with the skills to sell these ads. That’s why we have been offering ad sales training to help our partners to build their dream sales teams to get the most out of their new ads platform.

We put together all the notes we shared, the questions we answered, and the guides we created to build a central knowledge repository for the marketplace admins.

Today we launched our Sales Training module within the admin dashboard. Walk through each module enriched with how-to guides, video tutorials, product screenshots, and tips to become an ad expert in no time!

You can access the Sales Training module within the admin dashboard.

Analytics Access

Before all self-service vendors had the same permissions and access to all features of the platform, but each marketplace operates differently and needs different permissions for their vendors.

We implemented custom access levels to address the needs of different teams.

Now, Marketplace admins can give Analytics access to the vendors. Vendors with Analytics access can see the metrics but can’t create or edit campaigns.

You can customize the permissions when giving self-service access to the vendors. By default, full access is given to the vendors.

Email Notifications for Rejected Banner Ads

Vendors are notified when their banner ads are rejected so they can quickly update and re-submit them for approval. In the notification email, they can see the details of their campaigns, the reason for rejection, and the feedback you left for them.

Improvements

  • The "back" button on an approved campaign page takes users to the “manage” page, instead of the "configuration" page
  • Now you can see all the pages you can configure for banner ads as you land on the "Add a Configuration" page
  • We've changed the titles in the "Balance Breakdown" to make it easier to see the account balance and target spend, as well as when to top up your account.
  • We added a quick link to our documentation from the Settings > API Integrations page
