What are campaign analytics?

Campaign analytics display recipient behaviour and engagement after a campaign has been sent.

These metrics help measure:

  • Campaign reach

  • Engagement level

  • Delivery quality

  • Audience interest

  • Call-to-action performance

The information updates automatically once the campaign has been delivered.


Access campaign analytics

Go to:

Campaigns → Campaigns

Select a sent campaign and open the:

Summary

section.

From here you can review metrics, charts and engagement information.


Main available metrics

Unique opens

Show how many unique recipients opened the email.

This metric helps evaluate:

  • Subject line effectiveness

  • Initial audience interest

  • Sending timing

A healthy open rate usually indicates:

  • Engaging subject lines

  • Good domain reputation

  • Relevant audiences


Unique clicks

Show how many users clicked at least one link in the email.

This metric helps measure:

  • Genuine interest in the content

  • Call-to-action performance

Unsubscribes

Show how many recipients requested to stop receiving communications.

A high unsubscribe rate may indicate:

  • Irrelevant content

  • Poor audience segmentation


Bounces

Bounces represent emails that could not be successfully delivered.

This may happen because of:

  • Invalid email addresses

  • Non-existent mailboxes

  • Recipient server issues

  • Poor domain reputation

Keeping bounce rates low helps improve future deliverability.

The standard flow is:

Sent → Delivered → Opened → Clicked

This funnel helps identify possible issues within the communication process.
