The spend forecaster is a tool to turn a high level budget (or no budget at all!) into a daily, granular budget that follows patterns observed in your historical data.
To run a spend forecast, you supply:
-
depvar_configurations- deployment_ids are the only thing that matter, other fields are optional and ignored. -
start_date -
end_date -
total_spendORconstraints-total_spendallows you to specify the total spend amount (Recast will spread it across channels based on historical patterns) or you can specify constraints more granularly in a constraint matrix. -
use_latest_deployments- whether to swap out the depvar_configurations deployments with the latest from the same dashboard or not
