Editing channels
Once you've connected your channel, you can update its settings at any time. To do this:
- In the Yandex Advertising Network interface, open the Telegram ads tab.
- In the line with the channel name, click Edit.
- Make your changes and click Save.
Changes take effect immediately after saving.
Changing monetization model settings
You can edit these settings:
-
Maximum number of posts per week.
-
The time of publication of the advertisement.
-
CPM Limitation.
-
Advertising selection strategy.
Tip
To help the Yandex Advertising Network algorithms find suitable ads for your channel, we recommend that you don't set the CPM floor that's too high. If you want to improve ad quality, consider adjusting your ad selection strategy by keeping your minimum CPM at an average level.
You can edit these settings:
-
Maximum number of posts per week.
-
The time of publication of the advertisement.
-
CPM rate.
When changing your CPM, select one of the following:
-
Keep current bookings: Existing bookings will use the previous rate, while new ones will be calculated using the updated CPM.
-
Cancel all bookings: All future posts will use the new rate but your scheduled posts won't be published.
-
Warning
Changing the number of posts or the ad publication time may impact previously confirmed placements. In this case, the system will try to redistribute them, but some posts may not get published.
Changing your channel type to private
To make a channel private and continue its monetization:
- In Telegram, grant the advertising bot permission to add subscribers (create invite links).
- Change the channel type to Private.
After making your Telegram channel private, you don't need to add a new channel or update the channel link in the Yandex Advertising Network interface. The Link field will update automatically, and ad impressions will continue as long as your channel meets the requirements. You can view the statistics and edit the settings of your Telegram channel in the Yandex Advertising Network channel that you added earlier.
Transferring channels between accounts
You can transfer your channel to a different Yandex Advertising Network account if your Telegram username is linked to Yandex ID and matches the username of the channel owner. To do this:
- Link your Telegram username to Yandex ID.
- Log in to the Yandex Advertising Network account that you want to transfer your channel to.
- Add your channel to the new account following the instructions.
Once added, the channel is submitted for moderation and archived in the source account.
Clearing the channel ownership attribute
To transfer ownership of the channel to another person, archive it, then clear the ownership attribute. This will allow the new owner to specify the channel in their account and start monetizing it.
To clear the ownership attribute:
-
Find the desired channel in the list.
-
Click Change ownership status.
-
Confirm the action. Please be aware that this action can't be undone.
The channel status will change to “Ownership not confirmed”. The new owner can then specify the channel in their account, complete the standard ownership verification procedure, and start monetizing it.
Note
If you've cleared the ownership attribute but want to continue working with the channel, re-add it to your account and verify ownership.
If the new owner has already verified their ownership, you won't be able to regain control of the channel.
Working with the list of channels
To make your work easier, the channel list in the Yandex Advertising Network interface has filters and supports bulk actions:
-
To display only the channels you need, click and select filters by name, type, status, strategy, or other parameters.
-
To go to bulk actions, select the desired channels. A context menu with available actions opens:
- Stop impressions: Stop ad impressions in the selected channels.
- Start impressions: Restart ad impressions.
Tip
Bulk actions are applied only to channels listed on your current page. To process more channels at once, scroll to the bottom of the list and set the number of lines displayed per page to 100.
Disabling ads in channels
You don't need to remove the bot from your channel to suspend impressions. In the Yandex Advertising Network interface, click → Stop impressions in the list of channels. You can resume impressions by clicking Start impressions.
To fully archive the channel:
-
In the channel settings, remove the Yandex Advertising Network bot from the list of administrators.
-
Archive the channel:
- In the Yandex Advertising Network interface, open the Telegram ads tab.
- In the line with the channel name, click Archive.
