<h1 id="h_c4082dfdd1"><b>Overview</b></h1><p class="no-margin">A known backend issue can cause OTTO to display a success message after you attempt to create a PPC campaign, even though the campaign was not actually created.

Because the issue originates in the backend, it cannot be resolved through self-serve steps alone — you will need to contact our support team to have the campaign created correctly.</p><h1 id="h_a8f5e74d12"><b>How to Recognise This Issue</b></h1><ul><li><p class="no-margin">OTTO displays a success message or similar confirmation after you attempt to create a campaign.</p></li><li><p class="no-margin">The campaign does <b>not appear</b> in your OTTO dashboard after the success message.</p></li><li><p class="no-margin">Refreshing the page does not make the campaign appear.</p></li></ul><h1 id="h_22ca9e68b2"><b>What to Do</b></h1><p class="no-margin">Because this is a backend bug, our team will need to investigate and resolve it on your behalf.
