New Features

Create Ads from CSV supports Creative Template Ads

Management UI users can now use the Create Ads from CSV workflow to create Ads that use Creative Templates. More information is available in our documentation here.

Entity Counts Available in the Management API

Customers can now retrieve counts of billable entities from a new Management API endpoint. This new endpoint returns counts of billable entities for the following types: Zones, Ads, Advertisers, Channels, Sites, Flights, Creatives, Campaigns. More information is available in our documentation here.

Decision Explainer supports SkipFilters field

The Management SDK used by Decision Explainer now uses the latest Kevel API specification. This enables Decision Explainer to consider fields newly added to the specification automatically, as well as any fields that were missed in previous releases including SkipFilters.

Exclude Filters in Reporting API

Reporting V1 API now supports Exclude Filters, which allow users to exclude certain properties from the results of their reports. Full list of functionality here.

Improvements

Validation message when a bad CountryCode is supplied to the Management API

Supplying a CountryCode that doesn’t meet requirements (2-3 characters long and exists in our geodatabase) will result in a readable validation error message.

Up-to-date bulk Ad creation status is displayed in the Management UI

When creating many Ads in one go, such as creating Ads from a catalog of products, the UI would display a status indicating whether all the Ads have finished being created. A problem was found with this feature and was disabled temporarily, but has now returned.

Management API correctly prevents invalid site targeting on a Flight

The API will now check if a site is a member of a channel matching the flight's priority before adding site targeting to the Flight. This ensures that site targeting on flights are properly configured.

Decision engine security enhancements

Kevel constantly maintains our systems to patch security vulnerabilities and resolve performance issues.
