Email Summary

See the engagement of your campaigns and triggered sends over time with Email Summary. Located in the Analytics menu under Summary, this report offers a consolidated view of all your sends within your Sailthru configuration.

The Report

View aggregate data for your email sends. Locate the Email Summary report in the my.sailthru Analytics menu, under Summary.

The report is broken up into three main sections, numbered in the following image.

  1. Headline Metrics
  2. Configuration Options
  3. Charts

Note: Reporting is about 3-6 hours lagged from real-time. As data comes in, it is updated continuously.

Headline Metrics

This section includes numerical and percentage data for your email sends over a specified time. By default, you will see the Delivery rate, Open rate, Clicks/Opens, Optout rate, Conversion rate, and Email revenue for a one month period. You can add more options or remove any you don’t need to see.

Add Metrics

Select the blue plus icon at the end of the Headline Metrics row to add metrics. This adds another metric box to the row with a drop down menu. Select the metric you wish to add from the list.

Remove Metrics

To remove any metric from the headline row, hover over the top right corner of the box. Select the x in the corner of the box. The metric will be removed immediately.

Filter Data

The Configuration options available for the Summary view allows you to change the date ranges that the reporting pulls from, change views between ‘Summary’ and ‘Table’, and change the filters that matter to you. You can also change your metric window days.

Settings

Change metric window days from the Analytics Settings modal. Select the gear icon next to the date picker to open the modal. From this screen, select your metric window days.

The metric window days option is a time windowing function. Selecting one of the time windows will show the metrics attributed to a campaign starting the day of the send and ending on day 7, 14, or 28.

What this means:

  • Selecting 7 will show your selected metrics, for example clicks, attributed to a campaign within 7 days from the send.
  • Metrics that are attributed after day 7 will not be shown. If a message is opened and clicked on day 8, that will not be included.
  • If you need to see metrics attributed after day 28 or during a different specific time period, use the date picker to select a custom range.

View by Date

Use the date picker to select your custom date range. Select a single date or view data over time.

Filter by Message Type

So you can keep your email summary view organized, all filters are behind the filter icon . Click the icon to open filter options and select the type of message you wish to view.

Filter by Campaign

If you select Campaigns, more filter options are available.

Selecting either Lists or Labels shows the search options.

  

Either type the list or label name into the search box or scroll through your available lists or labels using the dropdown menu. Select one or multiple lists or labels to compare performance on a specific date or over time.

Filter by Triggered Message

Selecting Triggered Messages from the filter options gives the option to filter by label or by Lifecycle Optimizer flow.

Selecting Labels or LO Flows opens further filtering options.

.

Type the label or flow name in the Select box or use the drop-down menu to scroll through the available labels or flows. Select a single label or flow to see the performance over time, or select more to compare performance.

Table View

View message metrics as charts or in a table view. When you select the filter icon and set the filtered message type to Campaigns or Triggered, more configuration options are available. Select Table to switch to table view:

If you keep the filter options open, you can filter the table by list as you can the charts:

Customize the Column View

Customize what data you see and the order you see it in.

Select the table icon to open the Selected Metrics menu. Click on any of the column titles to sort by that column. The Campaign Name will always be pinned. You may pin any other metrics by selecting the pin icon next to the metric name.

Use the checkboxes to add or remove metrics. Select the double bars next to the metric name and drag it into the correct position.

List Removals

If this feature and metric is enabled on your account, you will see a column in the Campaigns table view for List Removals. A List Removal occurs when a user unsubscribes from a specific list associated to a Campaign send by clicking the email service’s unsubscribe link. The email service then sends this information to Sailthru in a feedback loop, which Sailthru then parses where a customer manages multiple brands in one Sailthru instance.

Note: If you wish to have List Removal metrics available in Email Summary, speak with your CSM or Support.
