Watch: The ProOps Ads Tracker Video Series - Campaign Alerts, Revenue & Inventory, and Building Your Daily Routine

The ProOps Ads Tracker video series is three short walkthroughs - about eight and a half minutes in total - covering the three things publishers ask to see before anything else: how campaign alerts catch direct-sold delivery problems early, how revenue and inventory monitoring flags dips and broken ad units against your own baselines, and how filters, thresholds, and the daily routine turn the raw alerts into a workflow your team actually runs.

We built the series for two audiences at once. If you're evaluating Ads Tracker, it's the honest look at what the coordinator does every morning - real screens, no hype reel. If you're already a subscriber, part three doubles as the setup guide most teams ask for in their first week: the filters and thresholds that separate a useful alert list from a noisy one. Every video is under three minutes and ten seconds, because the entire point of this product is respecting your morning.

Video 1 - Campaign Alerts (2:32)

The one to start with, because it's the alert bucket with the most direct money attached. This walkthrough covers how Ads Tracker watches your direct-sold campaigns every morning: delivery and pacing checked against where each line item should be, problems flagged worst-first with red and orange severity so a glance tells you what needs action now versus what's approaching a threshold. The outcome it's built for: catching under-delivery while it's still a quick rebalance - not a make-good conversation at the end of the flight.

Video 2 - Revenue & Inventory Alerts (2:59)

The two buckets that catch what nobody thought to check. The revenue half covers how earnings - direct and programmatic - are monitored against a rolling baseline, so dips, eCPM declines, and demand-source variance get flagged the morning they start instead of surfacing in month-end reporting. The inventory half covers ad-unit health: the tag a dev release quietly broke, the unit that stopped filling - caught in a day, not discovered three weeks later. Together they're the answer to the most expensive pattern in publisher ad ops: problems that compound in the gap between when they start and when a human finally looks.

Video 3 - Filters, Thresholds & Your Daily Routine (3:04)

The setup video - and honestly the one that determines whether any monitoring tool helps or annoys. This walkthrough covers making the coordinator yours in Ads Tracker HQ: the self-managed filters that control what gets watched, the thresholds that decide when a deviation becomes an alert, and how teams assemble the pieces into a daily routine - alerts reviewed by severity each morning, acknowledged or snoozed through the standard workflow, Excel reports pulled for stakeholders when needed. Tuned well, the morning review runs under ten minutes; this video is how you tune it.

How to Use the Series

Evaluating Ads Tracker? Watch in order - it mirrors the product's logic: what gets watched (1 and 2), then how you shape it (3). Total commitment: about eight and a half minutes, which is less time than the manual morning check the tool replaces. If what you see fits your team's morning, the 30-day free trial runs the real thing on your own network - setup takes under an hour, first alerts arrive the next morning.

Already a subscriber? Send videos 1 and 2 to anyone new on the team - they're the fastest onboarding we have - and treat video 3 as the tuning session: most teams that find their alert list noisy fix it with ten minutes of threshold adjustments. (And if you're building out your team's broader morning workflow, the series pairs naturally with the ad ops morning checklist - the tool automates the checking layer of exactly that list.)

Sending it internally? The series is built to be forwarded - to the director who asks "what does it actually do?", to the security reviewer who wants to see the surface area, to the teammate covering while you're out. Each video stands alone; together they're the full picture in under nine minutes.

FAQ - The Video Series

What does the ProOps Ads Tracker video series cover?

Three walkthroughs totalling about eight and a half minutes: campaign alerts (how direct-sold delivery and pacing problems get flagged worst-first), revenue and inventory alerts (baseline-aware monitoring of earnings and ad-unit health), and filters, thresholds, and routine (configuring Ads Tracker HQ and building the daily workflow around the alerts).

How long are the videos?

Video 1 (Campaign Alerts) is 2:32, Video 2 (Revenue & Inventory Alerts) is 2:59, and Video 3 (Filters, Thresholds & Your Daily Routine) is 3:04 - about 8 minutes 35 seconds in total, deliberately shorter than the manual morning GAM check the product replaces.

Which video should I watch first?

If you're evaluating the product, watch in order - the series mirrors the product's logic: what gets watched, then how you shape it. If you're already a subscriber and your alert list feels noisy, skip straight to Video 3 - most noise problems are solved with a few minutes of threshold and filter tuning in HQ.

Do I need an Ads Tracker subscription to follow along?

No - the videos work as a pre-trial look at the real product. If you want to follow along hands-on, the 30-day free trial runs the full product on your own GAM network: setup takes under an hour via a read-only service account, and the first alerts arrive the next morning.
