Email Analytics displays performance information on automated and one-time campaigns. The analytics are separated into two categories:
- Engagement
- How customers engaged with email campaigns through opens, clicks, revenue, and conversions.
- Deliverability
- Breakdown on how many campaigns were received versus how many campaigns were not received because of bounces, deferrals, or spam reports.
The analytics are updated every 30 minutes.
The analytics can be downloaded as CSVs or PDFs, and delivered via email on a schedule.
