  • Template Library Visibility Control Support in Ad Manager: How Agencies Can Optimize Campaign Creation with HighLevel (Lead Connector)

    Managing advertising campaigns efficiently is crucial for agencies, especially when coordinating multiple subaccounts and users. That’s why the recent update introducing Template Library Visibility Control Support in the HighLevel (Lead Connector) Ad Manager is a game-changer. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll explore what this feature means, how it simplifies campaign creation, and how agencies can leverage it to maintain strict control over their advertising templates.

    This article is inspired by insights from HighLevel (Lead Connector), a powerful platform that helps agencies and marketers streamline their marketing efforts. For those looking to integrate robust tools into their business ecosystem, HighLevel (Lead Connector) is a perfect fit. It’s part of the all-in-one business ecosystem offered by GFunnel, designed to empower entrepreneurs and agencies alike.

    Understanding Template Library Visibility Control in HighLevel (Lead Connector) Ad Manager

    At its core, the new template library visibility control feature empowers agencies to control which users can access the template library within the Ad Manager. But what does this actually mean for your agency and your subaccount users?

    Previously, all users might have had access to the entire template library when creating ad campaigns. This could cause confusion, inconsistency, or even unauthorized use of templates that agencies prefer to keep restricted. Now, with the visibility control, HighLevel (Lead Connector) respects agency-level permissions set on the template library. This means if an agency restricts access to certain templates or the entire library, subaccount users will no longer see those templates when creating campaigns.

    Key Benefits of Template Library Visibility Control

    • Customized User Experience: Subaccount users only see the templates they are permitted to access, creating a streamlined and less cluttered campaign creation process.
    • Stronger Permission Enforcement: Agencies maintain strict control over who can view and use specific templates, preventing unauthorized usage.
    • Simplified Workflow: If a user’s access to the template library is restricted, they bypass the template selection step entirely and start campaigns from scratch, making the process faster and more straightforward.
    • Improved Agency Control: This feature aligns with agency policies and permissions, ensuring consistency and security across all subaccounts.

    In other words, this update simplifies the ad creation journey for restricted users while giving agencies peace of mind that their templates are safeguarded.

    How Template Library Visibility Control Works in Practice

    Let’s break down the exact process and user experience changes introduced by this update:

    1. Agency Sets Visibility Controls: At the agency level, administrators configure which subaccounts or users have access to the template library. This can involve restricting access to certain templates or disabling template visibility altogether.
    2. User Access Checked at Campaign Creation: When a subaccount user logs into the Ad Manager to create a new campaign, HighLevel (Lead Connector) checks their permissions against the agency settings.
    3. Template Selection Shown or Hidden: - If the user has access, they see the familiar template selection interface.
      - If access is restricted, the template library is hidden, and the user is presented with a “start from scratch” option instead.
    4. Campaign Creation Flow Adjusted: The user chooses the campaign type and platform as usual, but the template step is skipped for restricted users, simplifying the flow.
    5. Consistent Enforcement: The visibility controls are respected every time the user creates a campaign, ensuring ongoing compliance with agency rules.

    Example Scenario

    Imagine you are an agency managing several subaccounts for different clients or teams. You want to ensure that junior marketers or external contractors only use approved templates to maintain brand consistency and compliance with marketing guidelines. Using the template visibility control, you restrict their access to the library.

    Now, when these users create a campaign in HighLevel (Lead Connector) Ad Manager, they will not see the full list of templates. Instead, they receive a simplified interface, allowing them to start fresh without the risk of selecting unapproved templates. This keeps your campaigns aligned with your agency’s standards and reduces the risk of errors.

    Why This Update Matters for Agencies Using GFunnel and HighLevel (Lead Connector)

    For agencies using HighLevel (Lead Connector) as part of the GFunnel ecosystem, this update offers tangible benefits that go beyond just ad management:

    • Enhanced Security and Compliance: Agencies can enforce strict access rules, ensuring sensitive or proprietary templates are not misused.
    • Streamlined User Experience: Subaccount users experience a cleaner, more intuitive interface tailored to their permissions, increasing efficiency and reducing errors.
    • Scalable Agency Management: As agencies grow, managing template access across multiple teams and clients becomes easier and more automated.

    Incorporating this feature into your GFunnel workflow means your marketing teams, contractors, or clients only interact with what they need, making campaign creation both easy and secure.

    Step-by-Step Guide to Implementing Template Library Visibility Control in HighLevel (Lead Connector)

    Implementing this feature is straightforward. Here’s a detailed walkthrough for agencies to set up and benefit from template visibility control:

    1. Access Agency Settings

    Log into your HighLevel (Lead Connector) agency account through GFunnel and navigate to the Ad Manager Settings. Here, you will find the controls for managing template library visibility.

    2. Define Template Library Permissions

    Within the settings, specify which subaccounts or user roles have access to the template library. You can:

    • Allow full access to trusted users or teams.
    • Restrict access for certain subaccounts or roles, hiding templates entirely.
    • Assign access to select templates only, if the platform supports granular template permissions.

    3. Save and Apply Settings

    Once you have configured the visibility rules, save your changes. These settings immediately affect the user experience in the Ad Manager for all subaccounts.

    4. Communicate Changes to Your Team

    Inform your team or clients about the new campaign creation flow. Users with restricted access will notice the missing template library and the option to start campaigns from scratch.

    5. Monitor and Adjust Permissions

    As your agency grows or needs change, revisit the permissions settings to add or remove access. This flexibility ensures your campaigns stay secure and aligned with your agency’s policies.

    How This Feature Fits into the Bigger Picture of Agency Marketing Automation

    Template visibility control is one piece of a larger puzzle that agencies face: balancing user freedom with brand control. Agencies want to empower their teams to work efficiently, but they also need to safeguard brand messaging and marketing consistency.

    Practical Tips to Maximize the Benefits of Template Visibility Control

    To get the most out of this feature, consider the following best practices:

    1. Regularly Audit Template Access: Periodically review who has access to your template library to avoid unnecessary exposure.
    2. Create Role-Based Access Levels: Use user roles to quickly assign template permissions based on job functions.
    3. Keep Templates Updated and Approved: Maintain a library of templates that are brand-compliant and performance-tested.
    4. Train Subaccount Users: Educate your team on the new campaign creation process, especially those with restricted access, so they understand how to start from scratch effectively.
    5. Leverage GFunnel’s Ecosystem: Combine template visibility control with GFunnel’s other tools for automation and CRM to build a seamless marketing workflow.

    Example: Training Subaccount Users to Start Campaigns from Scratch

This ensures their campaigns remain effective even without pre-designed templates.
