How to Approve Ad Campaigns and Creatives

Updated 

Approval of ads and creatives is required to make them safe and appropriate for everyone. While approving Campaigns, Ad Sets, Ad Variants, and Creatives, we ensure that your ad campaigns meet the channel guidelines and restrictions before they are published. This helps you to have greater control over the quality of your ads and creatives.​ In this article, one can get a detailed guide on how to manage and approve ad entities within Sprinklr's platform.

    FAQs

    If you create a Paid Iniaitive with Ad Sets & Ad Variants in the Ads Composer or Manager, and it is sent for approval (either manually or via Rules), then once the Paid Iniative is approved, all the entities underneath it will be automnatically approved. For adding more Ad Sets or Ad Variants later, see "Other Ad Entity Approval Scenarios".

    Instantly. As soon as an ad entity is Rejected, its status is changed to Draft within the Ads Manager.

    Only the owner of the ad entity (who composed it) will receive a notification on the rejection/approval of the ad entity. Currently, you cannot assign permission to other users to receive notifications.
