• Implemented multiple bug fixes, including:
• In Check Essentials, we previously blocked IPs at runtime using the first campaign fetched from the database. However, this approach sometimes resulted in fetching a Performance Max or Video campaign, which led to a 400 error from the API due to unsupported IP exclusions for those campaign types.
• To address this issue, we have updated our method to exclusively fetch Search campaigns. This change ensures that IP blocking functions correctly, allowing users to view blocked IPs in the report.

We’ve released several improvements to make Google Ads connection management more transparent and easier to maintain.

Account Overview Enhancements

• The Account Overview page now shows, per website, whether the Google Ads connection is active and functioning correctly.
• We also indicate when a connection has been revoked and requires reconnection.

Google Ads Connection Alerts

• Users will now automatically receive an email notification whenever a connected Google Ads account becomes disconnected or when Google revokes the connection.

Improved User Invitation Handling

• We’ve improved the invitation flow for users who are invited to multiple accounts.
• Previously, users had to accept invitations individually. Now, once a user registers and activates their account using the invited email address, all pending account invitations are automatically activated.

Google Ads Permission Visibility

• We’ve added a new indicator to the Click Essentials Overview showing the permission level of connected Google Ads accounts.
• The overview now displays whether a connected account has Admin/Standard access or Read-only access.
• This is important because ClickPatrol can only manage IP exclusions when the connected Google Ads account has sufficient permissions. If an account has read-only access, IP exclusions cannot be synchronized automatically.

We’ve released a new feature that allows you to quickly access detailed click information directly from the platform.

Click Details Page

• You can now navigate to the Click Details page by selecting Actions and clicking the eye icon next to a click record.
• This provides a comprehensive overview of all available information related to that specific click.

• Simply copy and paste the link to provide direct access to the click overview, making collaboration and support investigations much easier.
