This capability will be especially relevant and beneficial for advertisers delivering campaigns to multiple locations. Note that this capability is only supported for Brand Awareness, App Install, Conversions, Lead Generation, Reach, and Video Views objectives.

Note

Location Customization is an API only capability and is currently not available on Facebook Ads Manager. Use Sprinklr Marketing (Ads) to fully leverage this capability for your Ads.

Ads Composer | Select Existing Posts for Facebook App Install Campaigns

To align with the native platform, while composing a Facebook App Install campaign, you can now select from existing posts as your ad creative to align with the native platform. Note that if the App selected in the Campaign Details and the App URL are incompatible, then the post will be disabled from selection. You can also boost App Install posts if they are compatible with the App using the advanced boost, i.e. Quick Ad Publish.

Ads Composer | Auto-fill Option for Snapchat Story Ads with Website Attachments

While composing a Snapchat Story Ad, you now have an option to Auto-fill posts having a Website attachment in your ad creative.

The following fields are supported for autofill, and will be visible upon swiping up to the initial destination URL:

  • First Name

  • Last Name

  • Phone Number

  • E-mail

Ads Composer | Assign DoubleClick Tracking Tags for Natively Whitelisted Twitter Ad Accounts

Now, the DoubleClick Tracking Tags for Twitter App Installs, App Engagements, and Website Visits can be assigned for Ad Groups only if the Ad Account is natively whitelisted. To maintain parity with native, we have also added the DoubleClick Tracking Tag feature within Ads Manager and Ads Composer for the aforementioned objectives for your whitelisted Ad Accounts.

Ads Composer | Ability to target Snapchat Campaigns across multiple Countries

While composing a Snapchat campaign, you can now set up your Ad Squads to target multiple countries across the world. Multi-country targeting will help extend the reach and optimize ads globally to the best audience. However, there is no guarantee of evenly distributed delivery for the multi-country targeted Ad Squads. If you want to test audiences between countries, then it is recommended that you set up separate Ad Squads. Note that only one language can be selected when multiple countries are present in the targeting. This update is also reflected in the Ads Manager, Audience Manager, and Bulk Import Ads for all Snapchat objectives.

Target Multiple Countries for Snapchat Campaigns

Ads Composer | Support for Minimum ROAS Bid Strategy for Snapchat App Install Campaigns

While composing a Snapchat App Installs campaign, you can now set your Ad Set Bid strategy to Minimum ROAS for the App Purchase optimization goal.

Ads Composer | Deprecated Twitter Charge By App Install Option

On September 1, 2020, the App Install Charge By option corresponding to the billing event will no longer be available for Twitter App Install Campaigns. It will not be possible to associate the App Install Charge By event while creating or editing ad sets for App Install objective. However, the App Clicks Charge By event will continue to be supported. 

Also, on September 15, 2020, campaigns already configured using Charge By App Install will stop serving. To avoid this and allow such campaigns to serve, we request you to associate App Clicks Charge By for such campaigns. You can make these changes by filtering your ad entities by Channel Twitter and Objective App Installs within Ads Manager and applying Macro to the filtered entities at Ad Set level.

Ads Manager | View Information on Facebook Learning Phase for Ad Sets

You can customize two new columns at the Ad Set level of the Ads Manager to view details on the Facebook Learning Phase for each Ad Set. The learning phase is the period when the Facebook delivery system still has a lot to learn about an Ad Set. During the learning phase, the delivery system is exploring the best way to deliver your ad set and so performance will be less stable and cost per action (CPA) will be usually worse. The learning phase occurs when you create a new ad or ad set or make a significant edit to an existing one.

Below are the columns exposed within Ads Manager for Facebook learning phase:

  • Facebook Learning Phase - This column will indicate the following information about your Ad Set –

    • In Learning Phase - Ad Set is still learning

    • Exited Learning Phase - Ad Set has exited the learning phase

    • Learning Limited - Ad Set is not generating enough results to exit the learning phase 

  • Facebook Learning Phase Entry Date - This column will indicate the timestamp of the last significant edit that caused the Ad Set to re-enter the learning phase. Clicking on the date will open up the Activity pane showing you the audit trail.

You can also use the Facebook Learning Phase as an advanced filter in Ads Manager. The Ad Set Learning Status is available as a dimension within Ads Reporting and as a condition in the Paid Rule Engine.

The same is also applicable for ads using Language Customization and Dynamic Creatives. However, for language customization, preview in all languages will be shown.

Ads Reporting

Ads Reporting | Filter Reporting Widget Multiple Times Using Same Metric

We now allow using the same metric multiple times while filtering your Ads Widget within Ads Reporting. When one or more metrics are used as filters more than once within the same widget, then all such metric filter instances will be considered, and the resulting filter criteria will act as an intersection (AND operation) for all the individual filters.

  • Spent Greater than 50K + Impressions Greater than 100K

Ads Reporting | Support for Day of Time Range and Week of Time Range Dimensions

We now support the Day of Time Range and Week of Time Range dimensions within Ads Reporting.

  • Day of Time Range - This dimension specifies the respective day number in the selected time range. Note that the start date will be referred to as Day 1 and so on.

  • Week of Time Range - This dimension specifies the respective week number in the selected time range. Note that the starting week will be referred to as Week 1 and so on.

Ads Reporting | Added Time Range Filter with Regex Filter

We now consider Time Range along with Regex while filtering within a widget. This will only filter the entities that fall within a certain time range and will avoid error that occurs due to the number of search results exceeding the limit of 2000.

For example, when a filter condition is set as ‘Paid Initiative’ Text Contains ‘August_Campaign’, it used to filter Paid Initiatives across all time ranges that matched this text. Now, the filter result will be narrowed down based on the Paid Initiatives that match the text within the dashboard time range.

Accounts

When Ad Accounts get deactivated, multiple accounts get deactivated together for that ad account. You can now re-add the accounts for the deactivated ad account in bulk for all the Ads channels. This will allow you to save time on re-adding ad accounts individually.

UI Change

Listening | Introduced New Header Design for Dashboards

We have made significant changes to the header design of the Sprinklr dashboards to improve the user experience. You will see less white space on the header of the dashboard with the new design.

Introducing new header design for Listening Explorer dashboard

Introducing new header design for reporting dashboards

Below are some of the changes that have been introduced:

Listening Explorer

  • The Search Query box has been shifted to the top of the Listening Explorer dashboard.

  • The Add Filter button will now be shown right beneath the search query box. 

  • The Date Range option has been shifted towards the right of the dashboard. Previously, it was placed in the center of the dashboard.

  • In between the Filter and Refresh icons, the Save option is added. When you hover over the icon, you will see two options: Save Research Query and Add Topic Query.

Reporting Dashboard

  • The Date Range option is now centrally aligned to the dashboard.

  • The FilterRefresh, and Dashboard Options icons have been shifted before the Compare Mode and Add Widget options.

For detailed information on the changes made to the dashboard header, refer to New Header Design for Dashboards.

Note

  • These changes have been made for all the reporting dashboards across different modules that include Listening Explorer, Listening, Benchmarking, Reporting, and Ads Reporting.

  • All the previous functionalities of the dashboards will remain the same with the new design.

Listening | Improved Dashboard Menu Search for Better Search Results

We have improved the dashboard menu search functionality. It will now treat the entered word as a full phrase and search all the dashboards containing that particular word. Let's suppose you enter the word "brand", this will search all the dashboards that have the word "brand" in their names. This change has been made for all the reporting dashboards, such as Listening, Benchmarking, Insights, Reporting, and Ads Reporting.

Improved dashboard menu search for better search results

External Share | Platform Notifications Now Disabled

We have disabled the notifications for External Share. With the new infrastructure changes, the links are now updated/made active as soon as they are created. As a result,  the user who clicks on Update Now from the dashboard will not receive any notification on the platform when the external link gets updated.

Besides, to see new widgets, you need to edit Sharing Configuration and generate link. The data will refresh automatically after every 2 hours.

Smart Theme Explorer

Smart Theme Explorer | Keywords List Split into Top Similar Keywords & Co-occurring Keywords

Since the theme query is dependent on the top similar keywords in Smart Theme Explorer, we have decided to split the top keywords into two sections for better user understanding:

  • Top Similar Keywords: These keywords have a high similarity & association with the current cluster. These keywords primarily constitute the Theme Query.

  • Top Co-occurring Keywords: These keywords are commonly occurring with the top similar keywords of the current cluster.

Top keywords consisted of Top Similar Keywords & Co-occurring Keywords

Besides, the themes will now be created after navigating inside any cluster because no Top Similar Keywords exist at the 0th level to form any query.

Smart Theme Explorer | Introduced New Functionality for Better User Experience

In Smart Theme Explorer, we have introduced new functionality (listed below) for better user experience – 

  1. View More Support: You can now view "n" more to see the remaining rows if you navigate to the deeper levels in the List view of smart clusters. This capability will help you view every cluster so that you do not miss anything important.

  2. View Next 20 Clusters: We have added pagination right below the Cluster View screen. As a result, you will now be able to view the next 20 clusters in the cluster view.

  3. View Sub-Cluster Guidance Text in Drill Down: In the Chart view, clicking the cluster once will show you the drill-down guidance text of sub-navigation. You can click View Sub-Clusters to view the sub-clusters of the main cluster.

In Location Insights, we have introduced a new filter, called Location Insights - Sentiment, at the dashboard and widget levels.

Being a location manager, you will find this useful to analyze the top and bottom performing brands, regions, locations, etc. You can also analyze and act on negative feedback from the customers. To know more about Insights and Experience Score, refer to this document

This filter can have 3 values: Positive, Negative, Neutral.

Advocacy

Advocacy | Ability to Monitor Natively Added Comments on Shared Posts 

When an advocate posts content on a social channel via advocacy, Sprinklr wants to have those posts to be pulled in data and put that in listening, so that admins can analyze the data (likes, comment, shares etc.) and make informed decisions. Since the APIs used in advocacy are public APIs of social networks, it is not possible to fetch that data via those APIs, although they provide some data (very small amount).

As a result, we are now fetching posts and data related to those posts through Sprinklr Listening APIs and push in advocacy reporting, so that it can be analyzed over there. Thus, you can now monitor all the natively added comments on shared advocacy posts. As of now, this capability is only available for Twitter and LinkedIn social channels.
