New updates:
Some budget focussed updates this week, setting up the platform to have custom Budget Spend and Pacing Alerts. Plus, a centralized place to manage non-user contacts - for emails like Slack Channels or email groups.
New Alerts page
New non-user Contacts (for emails like Slack Channels or email groups)
Updated UI for Budget Settings
New Alerts page
We have created a new /Alerts page that will capture all of the Alerts generated by Adpulse. All Alerts will display here in addition to an email being sent.
The Alerts currently included are:
Ad Account Credential Failure
Ad Accounts Inaccessible
Budget Adjustment Error
Budget Adjustment Large Increase
Budget Campaigns Paused
Budget Campaigns Unpaused
Budget Spend Over Threshold
Credential Invalid
Coming soon: Custom Budget Spend and Pacing Alerts
Non-user Contacts
You now can now add 'non-user contacts' to your account. These are emails that are not actual users but could be an email group, a Slack Channel, or a Zapier Action.
Once created you can then use these Contacts as recipients for Alerts throughout the platform.
How to create a 'Non-user Contact';
Head to Setting > Admin > Contacts
Click on 'Create Contact'
Enter:
Contact name, ie 'Slack #alerts'
Email address
These Contacts will then appear on the Budget Settings page as a potential recipient for Alerts
Updated UI for Budget Settings
We've made some updates to the Budget Settings page to pave the way for custom budget alerts coming very shortly.
The changes are:
Rather than entering an email multiple times for each Smart Budget setting, you can assign User Tags and all emails will go to those users
You can also send these to 'Non-user Contacts' - as outlined above.
The Spend Alerts still have an explicit email, but this will change soon with the new custom budget alerts.
We have done a migration so existing email-to-alert relationships have been maintained, but now use the User Tags. If these alerts used an email address that did not match a user, then we have created it as a 'Non-user Contact' and added it to the Budget.
Therefore - all relationships between alerts and email addresses have been maintained.
