Why This Update Even Matters
Before Campaign Grouping, campaign setup was heavily reliant on Meritto’s support teams or default logic:
- Traffic Channels were hardcoded
- Publishers were centrally managed by Meritto
- Institutes could not create, rename, or reorganize campaign sources on their own
- Any attribution clean-up = support ticket
Now with Campaign Grouping:
- Campaign Management becomes fully self-serve
- Attribution logic is customizable per institute
- Reporting, filtering, and automation can finally match your marketing reality
What Changes in Campaign Management?
You Now Manage Publishers Locally
| Earlier | Now |
| Publishers were global and Meritto-managed | Each institute has its own set of publishers |
| Common source tags like Shiksha, instituteDunia were shared across all | You can create/edit tags per your requirement |
| Request changes via ticket | Do it directly from UI in Campaign Grouping Tab |
Traffic Channels Are No Longer Fixed
You can now:
- Rename traffic channels
- Create new custom channels (up to 30)
- Assign publishers/referrers to any channel (within rules)
Earlier Channel
Editable? Now Paid Ads ❌ No ✅ Fully Editable Publishers, Offline, Other Campaigns ❌ No ✅ Flexible Direct, Chat, Referral ❌ No ✅ Fully Editable More Granular Attribution Control
| Earlier Channel |
You're no longer bound by:
- One-size-fits-all logic
- Fixed campaign labels
- Central publisher definitions
Now you define:
- What counts as a “traffic channel” or “publisher/referrer”
- How each utm_source gets mapped
- How leads are bucketed across dashboard views
This means your Campaign Dashboard, Admin Dashboard, and Filters will reflect exactly how your team runs marketing.
Direct Impact on Attribution Reporting
| Action You Take | Result |
| Move a publisher from “Other Campaigns” to “Paid Ads” | Attribution numbers update in reports |
| Add new publishers for new agencies | No need to wait for support |
| Sync after editing source tags | Past + future leads are re-attributed |
| Use Offline toggle smartly | Lead Origin = Offline leads move to Offline Channel |
Role-based Access Control (New Behavior)
You control who in your team can:
- View Campaign Grouping Settings (newly added)
- Edit Campaign Grouping Settings (newly added)
- Just access Campaign Management Settings (Earlier Campaign Tracking Settings)
| Permission Combo | What They Can Do |
| View + Edit | Full access to the Campaign Grouping tab |
| View only | Tab is visible, but not editable |
| ❌ View & ❌ Edit but Campaign Tracking | Only legacy Campaign Management settings are shown |
Impact on Lead Attribution
All edits to publishers or traffic channels trigger a “Save & Sync Leads” step.
This updates attribution across:
- Campaign Dashboards
- Admin Filters
- Automation Rules (where used)
- Publisher Panels (if enabled)
Notes:
- Removing source tags means leads with that tag will no longer match the publisher
- Reassigning a publisher moves it across channels — it impacts filters and reporting views
- Disabling a channel moves all its publishers to Unclassified
