Tips & Tricks
- Make sure you generate your panel before you test your campaign
- Make sure you are on an incognito window unless otherwise required.
- Make sure there is only one tab open on the incognito mode.
- Check if your campaign is scheduled for a future date. If it is, it will not be displayed since scheduled campaigns are not reflected on the website.
- Check the generated time and see if it is updated.
- If all these steps are correct, follow the rules and segments in the Details tab of the Insider Inspector.
