Systems and methods for communicating and validating adcopy instructions

Abstract

Embodiments disclosed herein relate to a system and method for validating adcopy instructions. A user selection of an advertising client may be received. One or more advertising orders associated with the advertising client are identified in an order management system. A selection of an advertising order is received from the user. A set of adcopy instructions to be associated with the selected advertising contract is received from the user. The set of adcopy instructions are validated based on one or more rules associated with each of the order management system and a traffic and billing system. When the adcopy instructions are validated, the adcopy instructions are stored in a database associated with the traffic and billing system.

What is claimed is:   
     
       1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
 receiving, by a computer system comprising one or more processors, from a user, a selection of an advertising client; 
 identifying, by the computer system, one or more advertising orders associated with the selected advertising client; 
 receiving, by the computer system, from the user, a selection of an advertising order associated with the selected advertising client; 
 receiving, by the computer system, from the user, a set of adcopy instructions, wherein the adcopy instructions are to be associated with the selected advertising order and include at least one of a zone instruction or a network instruction; 
 accessing, by the computer system, one or more rules associated with an order management system and one or more rules associated with a traffic and billing system; 
 validating, by the computer system, one or more components of the set of adcopy instructions, wherein the validation is based on the one or more rules associated with each of the order management system and the traffic and billing system; 
 displaying, by the computer system, a visual indicator that indicates a progress of the validation; and 
 storing, by the computer system, in a database associated with the traffic and billing system, the set of adcopy instructions when the adcopy instructions are validated. 
 
     
     
       2. The computer-implemented method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 receiving, from the user, login credentials; 
 determining that the login credentials correspond to a valid user account; and 
 displaying a user interface to permit a selection of an advertising client. 
 
     
     
       3. The computer-implemented method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 storing, in a temporary database, the adcopy instructions when the adcopy instructions are not successfully validated; and 
 displaying an error message to the user. 
 
     
     
       4. The computer-implemented method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 receiving, from the user, a request to store a partial set of adcopy instructions; and 
 storing, in a temporary database, the partial set of adcopy instructions, wherein the partial set of adcopy instructions is associated with the selected advertising order in the temporary database. 
 
     
     
       5. The computer-implemented method of  claim 4 , further comprising:
 receiving, from the user, a request to view the partial set of adcopy instructions. 
 
     
     
       6. The computer-implemented method of  claim 1 , wherein receiving a user selection of an advertising client further includes:
 receiving one or more elements of advertising client data, the advertising client data including at least one of an order number, a contract number, an advertising client name, a market, or a database; 
 retrieving, from the order management system, one or more advertising clients based on the received advertising client data; and 
 displaying, to the user, the one or more retrieved advertising clients. 
 
     
     
       7. An ad-copy validation system, comprising:
 at least one memory that stores computer-executable instructions; and 
 at least one processor configured to access the at least one memory, wherein the at least one processor is configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to:
 receive, from a user, a selection of an advertising client; 
 identify, in an order management system, one or more advertising orders associated with the selected advertising client; 
 receive, from the user, a selection of an advertising order associated with the selected advertising client; 
 receive, from the user, a set of adcopy instructions, wherein the adcopy instructions are to be associated with the selected advertising order and include at least one of a zone instruction or a network instruction; 
 access one or more rules associated with an order management system and one or more rules associated with a traffic and billing system; 
 validate one or more components of the set of adcopy instructions, wherein the validation is based on one or more rules associated with each of the order management system and the traffic and billing system; 
 display a visual indicator that indicates a progress of the validation; and 
 store, in a billing and traffic database associated with the traffic and billing system, the set of adcopy instructions when the adcopy instructions are validated. 
 
 
     
     
       8. The system of  claim 7 , the at least one processor further configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to:
 receive, from the user, login credentials; 
 determine that the login credentials correspond to a valid user account; and 
 display a user interface to permit a selection of an advertising client. 
 
     
     
       9. The system of  claim 7 , the at least one processor further configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to:
 store, in a temporary database, the adcopy instructions when the adcopy instructions are not successfully validated; and 
 display an error message to the user. 
 
     
     
       10. The system of  claim 7 , the at least one processor further configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to:
 receive, from the user, a request to store a partial set of adcopy instructions; and 
 store, in a temporary database, the partial set of adcopy instructions, wherein the partial set of adcopy instructions is associated with the selected advertising order in the temporary database. 
 
     
     
       11. The system of  claim 7 , the at least one processor further configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to receive, from the user, a request to view the partial set of adcopy instructions. 
     
     
       12. The system of  claim 7 , wherein receiving the user selection of the advertising client further includes:
 receiving one or more elements of advertising client data, the advertising client data including at least one of an order number, a contract number, an advertising client name, a market, or a database;
