Campaign and workflow updates
Tag Guaranteed Deals is no longer supported
Beginning June 1, 2023, Display & Video 360 will begin a phased deprecation of Tag Guaranteed as a transaction method when setting up new inventory sources. Users of Tag Guaranteed transactions should be aware of this change to prepare for transitions to other transaction types.
- Beginning June 1, 2023:
No new Tag Guaranteed inventory sources will be permitted. Tag Guaranteed as a transaction method will no longer be a selection when creating new inventory sources. Existing Tag Guaranteed inventory sources will continue to spend for a limited time. - From June 30, 2023:
Any existing Tag Guaranteed inventory sources that are still live will end and will no longer spend. Please ensure any Line Items targeting Tag Guaranteed inventory sources have alternative transaction methods targeted before this date.
Customers who have live Tag Guaranteed deals should set up a replacement deal (e.g., Programmatic Guaranteed deal) to replace the current Tag Guaranteed deal or work directly with the publisher to continue spending on this inventory if a programmatic deal is not an option.
