Before setting up rules

Proper preparation and understanding are crucial when working with automations to avoid unintended consequences and to maximize their effectiveness.

Considerations

  • Be aware of the current limitations in automated scheduling and exercise caution.

  • Due to these limitations, you might need to manually execute rules at times.

Recommendations

  • Extensively test the rules to ensure they yield the desired outcomes.

  • Have a clear plan for rule implementation on each account.

Checklist

Known bugs

  • Critical - last execution date/time issue: The system may incorrectly display the attempted execution date/time for a rule, regardless of whether the rule was actually executed or not.

  • Critical - date scheduler failure: The date scheduler is unable to correctly schedule rules for the next immediate date, leading to scheduling failures.

  • Critical - non-running rule update issue: If a rule fails to run, the system does not update it to the next scheduled run date, causing potential disruptions in automation.

  • Critical - campaign strategy and placement options: The system correctly saves rules with bidding placement or strategy but they are not executed

  • Critical - invalid bid value: Modifying account selection triggers a bid value error.

  • Visual bug in bid selector: The bid selector interface has a visual bug where it fails to display the bidding operation options.

  • Missing fields and success status: When fields are missing in a rule, the system incorrectly triggers a success status without any error messages, but the rule is not actually saved.

  • Saving operations and blank state: When saving operations are performed, rules pages may enter a blank state. Depending on the number of rules, this can create an illusion of “disappearing rules.”

  • Run now button issue: The 'Run Now' button does not activate any loaders, giving the false impression that the system is non-responsive or “stuck.”

Future enhancements

  • Filtering with conditions: Plans to introduce advanced filtering options that utilize specific conditions for more precise rule management.

  • Executing actions via overview: A future enhancement to allow direct execution of actions from the overview page, enhancing convenience and control.
