Choose the past report you mean to discuss instead of sending everyone to the latest result and asking them to work backward. It makes an earlier review easier to bring back into the conversation. https://theadspend.com/changelog#2026-09-18-connection-permission-warnings https://theadspend.com/changelog#2026-09-18-connection-permission-warnings Fri, 18 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT Integrations A connected account can show a warning when a required permission is missing.

Shape the draft around the question, then choose the recipients and delivery schedule that fit your team. Suggested reports give you a starting point without making every review follow the same format. https://theadspend.com/changelog#2026-09-10-report-evidence-data-tab https://theadspend.com/changelog#2026-09-10-report-evidence-data-tab Thu, 10 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT Reports Open the Data tab to see the supporting evidence for the report revision you're reviewing. Check what a finding is based on before putting it in front of a client or leadership team. The evidence belongs in the review, not in a separate hunt after someone asks how the report reached its conclusion. https://theadspend.com/changelog#2026-08-26-report-revision-editing https://theadspend.com/changelog#2026-08-26-report-revision-editing Wed, 26 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMT Reports Edit a generated report and review its revisions as the work develops.

Development milestone; customer rollout date not established. https://theadspend.com/changelog#2026-08-25-unified-history-timeline https://theadspend.com/changelog#2026-08-25-unified-history-timeline Tue, 25 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMT History Settings changes and available platform events now come together in one History timeline. Follow a thread, compare before-and-after values, or open an item's revision history to investigate what happened around a performance shift. The record includes timing and actor details where the platform provides them, so the review starts with the available evidence instead of recollection. https://theadspend.com/changelog#2026-07-30-email-code-sign-in https://theadspend.com/changelog#2026-07-30-email-code-sign-in Thu, 30 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMT Improvements Use the code from your sign-in email when a magic link isn't convenient.

Review the earlier exchange instead of starting from an empty chat. Conversation history remains separate from the account-change timeline and the business context saved in Strategy. Development milestone; customer rollout date not established. https://theadspend.com/changelog#2026-07-23-openai-ads https://theadspend.com/changelog#2026-07-23-openai-ads Thu, 23 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMT Integrations Advertisers with the required API access can review aggregate OpenAI Ads campaign reporting in The Ad Spend. Keep that campaign-level view alongside the rest of your account review without treating it as a per-event or conversion-value breakdown. Access and reporting detail follow the connection available to the advertiser. Development milestone; customer rollout date not established. https://theadspend.com/changelog#2026-07-08-slack-mention-only https://theadspend.com/changelog#2026-07-08-slack-mention-only Wed, 08 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMT Slack The Slack assistant now only responds when you @mention it or use a slash command, so channel threads between teammates stay between teammates. https://theadspend.com/changelog#2026-07-07-fixes-and-polish https://theadspend.com/changelog#2026-07-07-fixes-and-polish Tue, 07 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMT Improvements Reconnecting an ad account no longer fails, and disconnecting a provider no longer hangs. Viewing and editing alerts is stable again. Agency batch notifications read more naturally — single reports arrive as normal messages, and rollups name each report. Daily reports no longer show an irrelevant schedule picker. Dark-mode calendar contrast and sidebar scroll fixed. https://theadspend.com/changelog#2026-07-06-richer-budget-alerts https://theadspend.com/changelog#2026-07-06-richer-budget-alerts Mon, 06 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMT Alerts Budget pacing alerts now show Current Spend alongside Target and Projected, so the pacing math is legible at a glance.

A partial day is no longer compared against a full-day forecast, eliminating false morning alarms. https://theadspend.com/changelog#2026-06-22-agency-alert-management https://theadspend.com/changelog#2026-06-22-agency-alert-management Mon, 22 Jun 2026 00:00:00 GMT Agencies Agency users can now view, edit, and delete alerts belonging to any managed client org from the agency workspace — no more switching contexts or asking clients to make the change. https://theadspend.com/changelog#2026-06-17-reports-new-delivery-indicator https://theadspend.com/changelog#2026-06-17-reports-new-delivery-indicator Wed, 17 Jun 2026 00:00:00 GMT Reports The Reports page now signals which reports have fresh deliveries directly in the collapsed list view, so you can spot new reports without expanding each row. https://theadspend.com/changelog#2026-06-17-web-chat-full-agent https://theadspend.com/changelog#2026-06-17-web-chat-full-agent Wed, 17 Jun 2026 00:00:00 GMT AI The web chat sidebar now runs on the same agent as Slack, so it can answer questions like "why did my CPA spike last week?" with your full ad data, alerts, trends, reports, and settings history — not just what's on the current page. https://theadspend.com/changelog#2026-06-12-batched-slack-notifications https://theadspend.com/changelog#2026-06-12-batched-slack-notifications Fri, 12 Jun 2026 00:00:00 GMT Slack When several trends or reports fire at once, we now bundle them into a single Slack message instead of flooding your channel, keeping notifications useful and easy to scan.

they cost you. https://theadspend.com/changelog#2026-05-28-faster-load-times https://theadspend.com/changelog#2026-05-28-faster-load-times Thu, 28 May 2026 00:00:00 GMT Performance We sped things up
