Sprinklr Marketing

Homepage

Homepage | Support for My Favorites Widget

Sprinklr now supports the My Favorites widget on the Homepage which will show all the entities marked as favorites by you. This enables you to quickly navigate to any campaign, sub-campaign, message, task, request, or asset marked as favorites. However, you can view only one entity at a time. You can also view additional details associated with the entities.

For example - While viewing your campaigns in the My Favorites widget, you can also view the sub-campaigns, messages, and tasks associated with it.

Note that these details may vary depending on the entity type you are viewing.

Apart from this, the widget will also have filters namely, Campaigns, Sub-Campaigns, Messages, Requests, Tasks, and Assets. The default filter on the widget will be as per the Persona type:

  • Campaign Marketer: Campaigns

  • Content Creator: Messages

  • Content Manager: Messages

  • Marketing Manager: Campaigns

  • Approver: Messages

  • Requester: Messages

Campaigns

Campaigns | Create Folders within the Assets Tab

You can select assets from Digital Asset Management and the campaign and sub-campaign Assets tab to add to these folders.

Note:

A folder created in a campaign or sub-campaign only gets associated with that particular campaign or sub-campaign.

Also, all the assets added to a campaign/sub-campaign asset folder will be visible within the asset folder even if the asset is not associated with the campaign/sub-campaign.

Campaigns | Subscribe User Groups to Campaigns by Default

While adding a Campaign within Sprinklr, you will now be able to Subscribe Users/User Groups to the particular campaign. The subscribed users/user groups will get In-Platform and Email notifications whenever any changes or updates are made to the campaign.

Editorial Calendar

Editorial Calendar | Ability to Collapse Filter Bar

While viewing the content within the Editorial Calendar, you will now be able to collapse the Filter Bar to access and view more content within the board. This enhancement will be uniform across the platform thus enabling you to perform a similar action in the Editorial Calendar tab of the Campaign and Sub-Campaign details pane.

Apart from this, the Editorial Calendar will remember whether the Filter icon was Open or Collapsed even if you switch tabs, re-login, or refresh your UI.

Within the Editorial Calendar tab of the Campaign and Sub-Campaign details pane, the action to Add Content is moved under the Options icon dropdown to make the Filter icon visible upfront.

A new standard column namely Percentage Workflow Completion is added which will show the % bar with the X% value. Hovering on the % Completion bar will show the number of tasks completed and total tasks.

If no workflow has been initiated on an entity then the Percentage Workflow Completion will show no % workflow. If multiple workflows are running on an entity, you will see an average of % completion of all the workflows.

The percentage of workflow completion is calculated based on the completion of the tasks. If a workflow has 4 total tasks (irrespective of sequence or parallel) Task 1, Task 2, Task 3, and Task 4 then:

  • If Task 1 is completed, % workflow completion is = 25%

  • If Task 1 and 2 are completed, % workflow completion is = 50%

  • If Task 1, 2 & 3 are completed, % workflow completion is 75%

  • If all tasks are completed, then % workflow completion is 100%

Workflow Builder

Workflow Engine | Support for Workflow SLA Field

With this capability enabled, you will be able to view, add, and remove Workflow Completion Time and Workflow SLA columns within the Production Dashboards along with the additional actions such as sort and freeze.

Note

  • If multiple workflows are running at the same time on an entity then the average workflow completion time will be calculated.

With Workflow Completion SLA, Workflow Delay, and Workflow Target SLA as metrics and Workflow Start Date and Workflow Completed Date, and Workflow Due Date as dimensions for Outbound Messages, Social Analytics, Asset, Campaigns, Sub-Campaigns, and Requests you can view reporting on the Workflow SLA and compare it against the actual time taken by the workflow for completion.

Modern Advertising

Ads Composer 

Ads Composer | Customize Asset Placements for Facebook Carousel Post Types

This will allow you to customize your Carousel Ads based on audience behavior, increasing the chances of the ad running in multiple places.

Note that the Snap App ID must be provided in order to view this targeting option.

Ads Composer | Optimize towards Site Visits for Twitter Website Traffic Campaigns

Additionally, you can also perform reporting against these Ads within Sprinklr and gain granular insights.

Ads Composer | Pacing Control Options Removed for Pinterest Objectives

After the introduction of Campaign Budget Optimization (CBO) for Pinterest Traffic, Brand Awareness, Catalog Sales, and Conversions objectives, you can no longer configure pacing control for these campaign objectives. Hence, for custom bidding using these objectives, you will no longer have the Pacing Control options within the Ad Set Budget and Bidding section in Sprinklr.

This will allow you to expand to additional objectives and run carousels that capture your audience’s attention.

Ads Composer | Ad Scheduling Failure Notifications Enhancement

Previously, the notifications for failure in scheduling would go to the user who created the campaign. This wasn’t ideal for situations where the campaign was created by a user and the scheduling was added/configured by another user. Now, we will route these notifications by default to the users who configure the scheduling and dayparting in Sprinklr for the respective Ad Set and Ad Variants.

Ads Composer | Facebook Reach and Frequency Objectives Deprecation

Starting March 3, 2022, you will no longer be able to create Reach and Frequency buying type campaigns for App Installs, Conversions, or CPA Billing for Video Views (including ThruPlay CPA Billing for Video Views and 2-second continuous video views) objectives.

Ads Composer | View Snapchat Credit, Housing, or Employment (CHE) Audience in Predefined Audiences

While creating a new target audience for your Snapchat Credit, Housing, or Employment (CHE) regulated campaign, you can now view a list of all the CHE audiences within Predefined Audiences. This will allow you to only select from the regulated audience targeting for CHE campaigns.

Ads Manager | Facebook Detailed Targeting Changes

As of March 17, 2022, Facebook has paused the delivery of Ad Sets to any of the deprecated Detailed Targeting options. Currently, Sprinklr prompts a warning on Ad Sets that are using these targeting options along with an option to View and Fix. Now, the following changes will go into effect in Sprinklr against the corresponding timelines:

  • April 27, 2022 - You will be able to update the Ad Sets until the 27th of April by clicking on ‘View and Fix’ in the Ad Set level warning. You can also make updates on native.

  • April 28 - 30, 2022 - Sprinklr will automatically update the Ad Sets and audiences by removing the deprecated targeting options. This change will be visible in the Activity section of Ad Sets.

Note

Edits to the Ad Set, including system updates (e.g. Smart Bidding), will be blocked until the deprecated targeting options are removed. Please look for Ad Sets with warnings in the Ads Manager and update them via the Fix it option to avoid any impact on delivery and performance (eg. bid changes made by Smart Bidding).

Ads Manager | Ability to Clear Stop Loss for Ad Variants

You can now use the Clear Stop Loss functionality for Ads having a Stop Loss Strategy Group applied to automatically activate Ads paused by Stop Loss. This action on an Ad will lead to the system not considering any past data for evaluation of the Ad. It will only consider from the next day onwards, i.e. if you use Clear Stop Loss on an Ad on 6th Feb, the system will not consider any performance data up to 6th Feb.

Ads Manager | Search and View Deleted or Archived Entities using Filters

You can now view the Deleted or Archived ad entities in your Ads Manager view when searching using filters. This will allow you to access these entities without any hassle.

Strategy Group

Strategy Group | Apply Smart Bidding to Campaigns with standalone Smart Budget Applied

Previously, if a Strategy Group Smart Bidding (SB) was applied on a campaign/ad set, then the standalone Smart Budget (SBA) applied on any overlapping entity would automatically get disabled. Furthermore, if a standalone SBA was applied, then the SB application was not allowed. We have now updated this behavior to keep SBA running as it was while also allowing to apply SB when a standalone SBA is applied.

Strategy Group | Receive Notification Alerts for Disabled Accounts

Now, Sprinklr will send a notification alert to users when the account is disabled if one of the following Strategy Group features are applied — Pacing Control with pausing enabled, Stop Loss, Smart Ad Rotation, Smart Bidding, Smart Budget. This will avoid the risk of overspending on campaigns if an account is disabled without any alert, as the Strategy Group application runs into an error. The notification will be sent once per Strategy Group for the disabled account.

Strategy Group | Default Attribution Window for Pinterest Conversion Campaigns on applying Smart Bidding

Now, on applying a Smart Bidding Strategy Group to Pinterest Conversion campaigns, the attribution window will now be set to 7/7/1 for Ad Sets with Auto Bid selected.

Ads Reporting | Use Product Created Date as a Dimension and Filter to Create Facebook Product Sets

While reporting on Facebook products, you can now use an additional new dimension — Product Created Date — in your widget as well as filter products using this dimension. This will allow you to derive granular insights and create product sets for products created with a certain date range.

To have this capability enabled in your environment, please work with your Success Manager.

Ads Reporting | Ability to Report on TikTok Start Trial Metric

You can now use the following Start Trial metrics for reporting on TikTok Ads within Sprinklr:

  • Total Start Trial

  • Cost per Start Trial

This will allow you to see how many trials you are garnering from your ads in a TikTok campaign. The total count will be based on when you were billed.

You can now use the following new Pacing Control metrics in Ads Reporting to look at the difference between current pacing and ideal pacing and take appropriate actions:

  • Ad Set Pacing Control Spent vs Ideal Pacing Percentage

Ads Reporting | Ability to Create Product Sets from Reporting Widgets

You can now directly select products from your reporting table or pivot table widgets and create a Facebook product set without leaving your reporting view. This will allow you to determine products based on their performance and add them to a product set. Note that the products need to belong to the same catalog to create a product set. Additionally, we have introduced the following new dimensions for reporting on your products.

  • Product Sale Price

  • Product Discount Value

Ads Reporting | View only Facebook Posts on applying the Facebook Channel Filter

Previously, on applying the Facebook channel filter to view ad posts in a reporting widget, you would find Instagram posts showing up as well if the Instagram post was boosted and used in a Facebook Ad. In order to avoid any confusion, we have corrected this behavior to only show the Facebook posts (for boosted and non-boosted) when the Ad Post dimension is plotted and the Facebook channel filter is applied.

Ads Reporting | Deprecated Twitter Video Mrc Views Metric

We have deprecated the Twitter Video Mrc Views (Paid) metric from Unified Analytics. You can now use the Twitter Post Video Total Views (Paid) (Custom Report) to report on total video views on Twitter.

Ads Reporting | Ability to Report on Instagram Page Dimension in Unified Analytics

Previously, there was no way to distinguish which particular page on Instagram was a Dark Post published. Now, you can use the Instagram Page (Unified Analytics) dimension to report and distinguish the Ad Posts fetched for Instagram Pages.

Creative Library

Creative Library | Create Twitter Multi Destination Carousel Ads

You can now create Twitter Image and Video Carousel cards and drive users to different websites from each card within a carousel. This will allow you to diversify your messaging with unique headlines and landing pages via a single carousel. This feature is supported for Website Traffic, Reach, Video Views (only video multi-destination cards), and Engagement objectives.

Creative Library | Twitter App Card Changes with Ads v9 API Deprecation

Twitter has migrated its Ads API to v10 with certain changes to creating Twitter App Cards. Previously, Twitter supported the creation of App Cards using two separate fields for iOS apps, i.e. iPhone App and iPad App ID and Deeplink fields. With this update, Twitter has deprecated the iPad App fields while keeping a common iOS App field in its App Cards creation flow and the same will reflect in Sprinklr.

Note

You will no longer be able to edit your Twitter App Cards published via Sprinklr. For any existing App Cards in the draft, we will migrate them to reflect the updated fields.

Dynamic Image Templates

Dynamic Image Templates | New Image and Text Editing Capabilities

While creating a Dynamic Image Template, you will now have the following new image and text editing capabilities that will enable you to efficiently create the templates:

  • Maintain Proportion: This option allows you to maintain a fixed aspect ratio on resizing the dynamic images in your template. Note that this is only available for dynamic images.

  • Vertical Text Alignment: Similar to horizontal alignment, this option allows you to adjust the text position between the top and bottom positions of the text frame and keep a consistent gap/margin between two text layers.

Dynamic Image Templates | Use Additional Image Links while applying Image Templates to Catalogs

While applying a Dynamic Image Template to your catalog, you can now map your creative elements to the image links within the Addition Image Link column of your feed. The comma-separated image links will appear as individual options (such as additioal_image_link [1], additioal_image_link [2], etc.) to select from in your template. This will allow you to leverage additional customized images of products to be used for different ads.

Audience Manager

Audience Manager | Ability to Search Detailed Targeting Categories for LinkedIn Audience Creation

While creating a LinkedIn saved audience, you can now search and select a category within Detailed Targeting instead of having to select the category first. This will allow you to include/exclude multiple audiences irrespective of being unsure which category the targeting would fall under. The same will also reflect while creating a target audience within Ads Composer or Ads Manager.

Product Catalog

Product Catalog | Ability to Bulk Upload Products in a Product Set

While creating a new Facebook Product Set, you can now bulk upload your products into your product set for Product and Product Name options. In the bulk upload window, you can provide semicolon-separated products to import and save time on adding individual products to the product set.

Naming Convention

Naming Convention | Retain Naming Convention Parameters on Cloning

Previously, when a Naming Convention was cloned and the channel was changed, then all the parameters would get removed which would impact user experience. Now, on cloning/creating new Naming Conventions and changing the source, Sprinklr will retain the Naming Convention parameters that are common, for ease of use.

Rule Engine

Rule Engine | Increase Lookback Window to Boost Posts using Auto Boost Rules

Currently, on configuring an Auto Boost rule to boost posts, the rule will default to look for outbound posts that are published in the last 30 days. Now, you can have the lookback period extended to a maximum of 60 days to boost older posts.

Please reach out to your Success Manager to have this capability enabled in your environment.

Rule Engine | Support for IG Handle and Facebook Platform Positions in Auto Boost Rules

You can now configure Auto Boost rules with two new actions to create Ads — Instagram Handle and Facebook Platform Positions. This will provide more flexibility in automatically boosting your Facebook or Instagram posts from Sprinklr.

Rule Engine | Ability to Automate Assigning Facebook Pixels

You can now configure an Auto Boost/Paid Rule or a Macro action to automatically assign Facebook Tracking Pixels to your Ad Variants. This will allow you to send alerts in case no pixel is assigned and/or automatically apply the proper pixel to any unassigned Ad Variants.

Web Analytics

Web Analytics | Support for Account-level Custom Properties in Paid Web Analytics Profiles

You can now define Account-level custom properties as values while creating a Paid Web Analytics profile. This will allow you to set the values to be tracked via the account-level custom properties. Note that on applying the web analytics profile, the social account (page/handle) will be given preference; and if the page/handle is not present, then it will be applied to the ad account.

Google Analytics

Google Analytics | Report on Product Dimensions and Metrics using Google Analytics Integration

Using the Google Analytics configuration in Sprinklr, you can now report on Product metrics and dimensions within Ads Reporting and Ads Pivot and evaluate the performance of your e-commerce products. In the Google Analytics configuration screen, you will have a new field to select Paid Product Measurements where you can add the metrics against which you want to view reporting data for your products.

To have this capability enabled in your environment, please work with your Success Manager.

Stat Imports

Stat Imports | Ability to Map data using Unique Identifiers in Google Analytics URL

Previously, to integrate 3rd party data via Stat Imports, you could only map data when the unique identifier is either the Campaign, Ad Set, or Ad. Now, you can map data based on the following Google Analytics unique identifiers in your Stat Imports template and integrate 3rd party data to have a single source of truth to optimize paid activities:

  • GA Ad Content

  • GA Campaign

  • GA Keyword

  • GA Medium

  • GA Source

Engagement Dashboard

Engagement Dashboard | Monitor and Moderate Comments made on TikTok Video Ads

You can now monitor and manage the comments made on TikTok Video Ads and take appropriate actions, all within Sprinklr. From the Engagement dashboards, you can now choose to add either a TikTok Ad Comments or Ad Replies column to fetch the stream of replies/comments from ads associated with the selected ad account(s). Additionally, you can also Reply to comments directly, Hide a comment when desired, and Pin comments. This will reflect the changes natively as well.

To have this capability enabled in your environment, please work with your Success Manager.

Engagement Dashboard | Ability to Restrict ‘Boost Post’ action via Permissions

You can now set role permissions to control who has access to boost posts manually. We have introduced a new permission — Boost — within the Engagement roles that you can use to provide or restrict access. Note that if you already have the Reply permission within Engagement roles, you will be assigned the new permission by default as part of this new permission release.

Engagement Dashboard | View Budget Information in Campaign Approvals Pane

Previously, you could only view the budget information for Ad Sets sent for approval while there was no visibility into the budget set at the Campaign level. Now, you can view the budget information for campaigns in the approval third pane and ensure governance over budgets before approving/rejecting them.

Sprinklr Distributed

Distributed | Lite Ads Manager in Sprinklr Distributed

You can now allow your dispersed businesses to use a lighter version of the Ads Manager to view and manage campaigns using Sprinklr Distributed. This will allow:

  • Central teams to pre-configure the campaign fields that local teams should have visibility into using Ads Manager boards and share them with the local users.

  • Local users to view the campaign details through the pre-configured boards and get a summary of the campaigns.

  • Local users to edit inline campaign properties, including the name, status, and scheduled dates.

However, local users will not be able to make changes and edits to other aspects of the campaign. Additionally, advanced capabilities, including Macros, Import and Export, Cloning, Strategy Groups, and Color tags, will not be accessible for these light users.
