Nudge Easter Eggs
Double Clicking the Cogwheel: By double clicking the cog button inside of your campaign, you can now open the campaign settings in a new tab. We love making simple changes like this, in order to make your lives easier.
Search bar: Our upgraded search bar allows you to quickly find the campaign you’re looking for by searching Active Campaigns by brand, campaign name, publisher, start/end date, whitelisted URL or even by vertical, i.e. all finance campaigns. For example:
- Use ‘Brand:’ to search by brand.
- Use ‘Category:’ to search by advertiser category, i.e. finance.
- Use ‘start_date:’ followed by the date 2018-01-01 for campaigns that went live on that date.
Content Stream: When building a campaign, Nudge Content Stream allows you to view all tagged content that hasn’t yet been added to the campaign, reducing the time it takes to get your campaigns up and running. More on the Content Stream here.
