Limitations

  • Location stats (Country and State) are also provided by the vendor so it will be available on messages only if it is provided by them.

  • No new sources can be added to the coverage (via SV or any other way) because we receive a fix set of Print/ Broadcast data from our data vendor.

  • Addition of new sources to Print/ Broadcast requires our vendor to initiate conversations with the Publisher (one to one) and it may take months just for one publisher to tie-up with the vendor (due to legal, pricing negotiations, willingness to share data extracts). Hence, it is not feasible to add new sources.

Frequently asked questions
