Captivate provides you with not one, but four bulk editing tools making it super easy to manage your pre, post and mid-roll content across you entire podcast back library!

Captivate's Bulk Slot Manager tool allows you to easily add, replace and delete all mid roll content across your entire episode library, all at once!

Note: in order to keep our servers running optimally, we’ve put a limit of 3 bulk edits per day. This resets after midnight.

To bulk add mid-roll content slots to your episodes

  • Login to your Captivate dashboard.

  • Click Bulk Ad Editor from the left hand menu under the AMIE header.

  • Select the Bulk Slot Manager tab.

  • Select the time slot where you want to insert your mid-roll content for each of your episodes.

  • Click Select Content and search for the content you want to insert (up to three pieces).

  • Once selected, click Add to Episode to insert your selected content in that time slot.

  • The slot will turn blue and details of the time stamp will be added underneath the episode.

  • Repeat for each episode you want to update.

  • Click Save & Process, and then Confirm in the pop-up box.

AMIE will now process your dynamic content and your episodes will be updated once processing has completed 👍

As your podcast grows, you may find that you take on new sponsors, or content maybe becomes dated and needs to be replaced. Of course, we've made that nice and simple to do.

  • Once chosen, click Replace Ads.

  • Repeat for other slots you wish to replace.

  • Click Save & Process.

  • Confirm that you wish to make the changes in the pop up box.

From time to time, you may need to remove the mid-roll content you have in your episodes. Well, we've also made that super easy to do too!
