This area has seen small enhancements as the platform has evolved, but has largely fallen behind it’s campaign level equivalent in terms of functionality and user adoption.
Fast forward to 2020; we’re starting to see the rewards of last year’s API migration and the flexibility it provides us, allowing a more streamlined user interface and overall experience. However, this seemingly simple objective is much broader than it seems.
In order for us to streamline, we’re reviewing features that have low adoption, changing data structures on the backend for core services and focusing on the areas of the platform which contain untapped potential to improve our users productivity and joy of using the platform.
Cue the improved ‘Leads’ page, a better way to manage the data within the platform from a single centralised area of the platform. We’ve combined all the functionality of the campaign level lead management to the new ‘Leads’ page, allowing you to bulk flag, delete, undeliver and reprocess leads from one place.
We’ve added more powerful table management inline with the rest of the v2 dashboard.
You can now utilise the custom tables feature to add any form or value transform field to the table for Advertiser, Agency and Admin roles – this will be a big win for users who are more focused company specific data such as job titles and company names or content references which previously wasn’t possible to surface.
We’ve also introduced a new ‘Current Status’ column which provides a streamlined way to represent and filter the various transitions that a Lead can go through (e.g. Caution > Valid, Valid > Invalid etc).
A headline widget now provides some great visuals and insight into performance in the past 30 days.
However, the most significant change is the overhaul of the Lead profile popup. Previously, users moved in and out of the campaign level to view more data. Management and troubleshooting was slow and long winded, and it easy to get lost in tabs when working with multiple leads in quick succession.
The new lead profile popup addresses every downfall of the previous version. It’s faster and easier for our customers to undertake lead management tasks. All data is now available right where you need it without having to leave the ‘Leads’ page. You can also modify data, view logs and perform actions on records without leaving the page.
All of the combined changes will provide an improved level of productivity for your lead management tasks.

What does Billable for Advertiser mean?

Why is my data masked?
This is a setting which prevents users from seeing any Personal Data within the platform. This setting is applied on the User or Agency level meaning that you do not have the right permissions to view the data in the platform.
What’s the difference between Leads and Campaign Leads?
Both areas have nearly the exact same functionality however the key differences are that on a campaign level you can at the moment you can filter by flags & sales conversions, however both which will soon be available on the Leads section.
