The current Automation Dashboard does an good job of showing automation savings, actions performed and time saved. However I believe it could become even more valuable by adding an Automation Health section that helps users quickly identify issues requiring attention.
I often come across the following issues when auditing new accounts. In many cases these issues are unintentionally created by us while optimizing the account.
I've categorized them into two groups: Warnings and Alarms.
🟡 Warnings: Warnings are issues that require attention and may lead to problems in the future if left unresolved
1) Paused campaigns are not linked (affects data collection)
2) Active campaigns have no active advertised ASIN (creates dummy campaigns and clutters Campaign Manager)
3) Active campaigns have no active targets (creates dummy campaigns and clutters Campaign Manager)
4) Active campaigns have received zero impressions in the last 7 days (may require bid adjustments or further investigation)
5) Products are out of stock or nearing out of stock, but campaigns remain active (requires updating the linked ASIN or pausing campaigns in a timely manner)
🔴 Alarms: Alarms are critical issues that require immediate action because they can significantly impact automation or PPC performance.
1) Active campaigns are not linked (affects automation and data collection)
2) Active campaigns have no automation assigned (may have been missed during setup, especially Sponsored Brands campaigns)
3) The linked ASIN is inactive (requires updating the linked ASIN to restore automation)
4) Active Discovery campaigns have no Negative Rule assigned (Auto, Broad & Phrase) (may result in wasted ad spend on irrelevant search terms)
Why this would be valuable
As accounts grow to hundreds or even thousands of campaigns, manually identifying these issues becomes difficult.
An Automation Health Dashboard would help users:
1) Quickly identify automation gaps
2) Prevent wasted ad spend
3) Ensure every active campaign is properly managed
4) Catch configuration issues before they impact performance
5) Spend less time auditing accounts manually out of SI
I've also created a simple UI concept (attached) showing how this could fit naturally into the existing Automation Dashboard without adding complexity.
I believe this would be especially useful for PPC agencies and sellers managing big accounts.
