Switching to Shotread

Coming from client reporting tools

For each tool: what you did there, where it is in Shotread and whether it works today, in the order of the work: plan, make, review, publish, measure, grow and run the agency.

What each status means

Works in Shotread
Checked in Shotread and works.
Works with your own account
Works when you connect your own account or key with that provider. The line under it names the account.
Waits
Needs an approval or a provider Shotread does not have yet. The line under it names which. Until then the screen in Shotread says why.
Partly built
Part of it works. The line under it says what is missing.
Not built yet
Shotread does not do this today.
Not verified yet
Not part of the last check, so this page makes no claim about it.
