Changes and optimizations

We've resolved an issue where previously uploaded and mapped CSV files disappeared after a new update. Now the mappings will remain intact, eliminating the need to re-associate them after each update.

We added more flexibility on Programmatic Data Import, we can distinguish records by Deal Type thanks to the Unique Key update and added compatibility with multiple currencies.

Changes and optimizations

Programmatic Media Campaign Generation

Changes and optimizations

The main logic was enhanced so the query for media campaigns can avoid issues while processing the programmatic data working sets and some extra validation was added to clean up both Media Campaign and Campaign Item records to avoid duplicated values.

We’ve introduced a new Media Buying Integration: Snapchat Ads.
Gain instant insights into your Snapchat Ads performance, by retrieving delivery data in ADvendio with just one click.
Our new integration not only enables real-time tracking of your spending to stay within budget and optimize campaigns effectively but also seamlessly incorporates Snapchat ad costs into your ADvendio invoicing workflow, saving valuable time and ensuring accurate billing.

Integration / Pinterest

Changes and optimizations

We've identified and resolved an issue causing import errors in ADvendio when using the Pinterest Technical Name field. Previously, descriptions exceeding the character limit supported by ADvendio (when creating a new Pin in the Pinterest UI) would lead to errors during import.
We also added more specific descriptions for the error messages received after submitting Buying Orders.

Integration / The Trade Desk

New Feature

We’ve enhanced the Trade Desk integration to enable “Budget Impressions” and “Pacing” at the Buying Item level.
Additionally, updating a Buying Item now only modifies the specific ad group it's linked to on TTD. This means other ad groups you created previously for the same item won't be changed.

Integration / Google Display & Video 360

Improvement

We introduced a new budget type for the DV360 integration: now when creating a new Buying Order it will be possible to choose between “Revenue Budget” and “Impression Budget” from the new “Budget Types“ dropdown menu.

We fixed a few issues impacting the user interface after the last Salesforce Winter 24 release.

Buying Delivery Data Email-Notification

Improvement

We enhanced the error message field in the Email Report of Buying Delivery, specifically to include the corresponding connection, aiming to facilitate quicker troubleshooting

We improved the Buying Order information table in the email report so that it shows the “Start Time“ and “End Time“ information.

Check Login / Authentication and Submit Buying Order

Changes and optimizations

We've identified and resolved an issue where the authorization request for Media Buying features (like submitting buying orders or syncing delivery information) wasn't clickable. This meant you couldn't complete the process if you hadn't previously authenticated via the connected app.
Now, the authorization link will seamlessly direct you to the connected app on the ad server, allowing you to authenticate and proceed with your Media Buying tasks smoothly.

We've improved the user experience when you request a gateway operation (by clicking a button). Previously, the loading screen might have shown sections that weren't clickable or accessible, which could be confusing.
Now the loading screen will only display relevant information, ensuring a clearer and more streamlined experience while you wait for the operation to complete.
