Overview

The notification bell shows you two types of information: general Notifications and especially important Required Actions. When needed, system-wide alerts also appear as a red bar at the top of the application, often with a link Check our status page for more details. Each entry displays the title, a short message text, a timestamp, and the relevant topic badge. With Mark all as read, you can clear all unread entries at once, and with Load more, you can view older notifications.

For new notifications, a small pop-up window appears at the bottom right, briefly informing you. Clicking on it – if a target is set – takes you directly to more details or to the notification view.

Accessing the Function

You’ll find the notification bell at the top right in the top bar as a bell icon.
For a complete list of your messages, scroll to the bottom of the popup and select Show all notifications.

Notification Overview

Categories in the Bell

• Notifications: All notifications are collected here, including system, general, success, custom, and actionable messages.
• Required Actions: This category only shows notifications that require immediate action from you.

Types of Notifications

• General Notifications: Alerts such as information that an export (from Discover/Dashboard) is finished. These often include a link to the relevant section.
• Success Message: Confirmation that an action has been completed successfully, e.g. campaign creation.
• Action Required: Points out issues that need your attention, such as problems with the Amazon connection, segment setup, or errors with media assets.
• Tags: Notifications can have different tags to clarify their context.

Examples of Notifications

• Dashboard export finished
• Discover export finished
• Amazon token expired (renew connection)
• Segment management setup incomplete
• Error in campaign creation
• Campaign creation successful
• Segment creation successful
• Campaign Creator: Creative creation failed
• Campaign Creator: Partial actions success/fail

Settings & Options

The texts and titles of notifications are automatically displayed in your preferred language. Terms in the bell, like Notifications, Required Actions, and Mark all as read, are also localized. Topic badges are based on platform sections, such as Dashboard, System, or Scheduling.

Limitations & Special Notes

• Required Actions are always clearly highlighted and appear at the very top of the notification area.
• The bell always shows you the current number of unread messages, regardless of type.
• The overview in the full view is organized by pages. Very old messages may occasionally be hidden to ensure good performance.
• Real-time pop-ups require an active internet connection. After a connection interruption, new messages are loaded automatically as soon as you’re back online.

Tips & Best Practices

• Always check the Required Actions section first so you don’t miss any urgent tasks or deadlines.
• After reviewing messages, use Mark all as read to keep everything organized.
• Look for topic badges (System, Scheduling, Amazon Connection) to quickly find the relevant area.
• For system notifications, click on Check our status page to stay informed at all times.
• Use pop-up notifications to jump directly to the relevant details when needed.
