The Insights section of your account provides a powerful view into the health and performance of your email marketing.
Overall statistics can be viewed for a custom time period, up to 15 months in the past. Campaign and journey data is updated hourly, while subscriber details are updated every 24 hours.
For any selected time period, statistics are compared to the previous period of the same length. For example, if you select a 120 day period, performance is compared to the 120 days prior to that time period. This is useful for month on month, quarter on quarter, or year on year reporting.
As we only retain data up to 15 months in the past, year on year reporting will require you to export your insights and analyze them outside of the app.
Set a date range
To view statistics over a custom date range:
- Click Clients in the top navigation, then select the relevant client.

- Click the left date in the date range box to set your start date, then select your end date. You can change just the end date by clicking the date on the right side of the date range box.
- Select the statistics to view for that date range using the menu on the left.

Statistics
Insights are available for regular and A/B campaigns, automation, content, lists, segments, and engagement. Hover your cursor over a metric to see how it is calculated.
To see how all metrics are calculated, refer to the tables below.
Content
In the "Content" section, you can see how individual links perform in your emails. Each row in the "Detailed performance" report includes a link's Call to Action (CTA) — for example, a button label, or text the link is applied to. If the link belongs to an image, the CTA is shown as "View image", which can be clicked to see the image.
You can click on an email's name, below each CTA, to open its full report.
There are a few things to take into account when looking at the content report:
- If you change a CTA or link when you save a new version of a journey email, it will be shown in a new row — the data does not roll over from the old CTA/link.
- We may not be able to retrieve CTAs for journey emails saved before January 2018. In this case, you'll see the following entries:
- If the CTA of a link is unknown, but its link is unique in the email, it will be shown as N/A.
- If the CTA of a link is known, and there are unknown CTAs with the same link in the email, their stats will be rolled into the known CTA entry.
- If there are multiple known CTAs, and at least one unknown CTA all with the same link, their stats will be rolled into an entry named "Multiple".
Engagement
In the "Engagement" section, you can track how engaged subscribers are in your lists, as well as how engaged people are across your most commonly emailed domains.
Active vs inactive subscribers
In the "Engagement" section of insights, you can view your active and inactive subscribers. Active and inactive are defined as follows:
- Active — any subscriber who you sent an email in the last 30 days, who has opened an email from you in the last 90 days.
- Inactive — any subscriber who you sent an email in the last 30 days, who has not opened an email from you in the last 90 days.
To see the exact number of active and inactive subscribers, hover your mouse cursor over the chart.
Email domains
Below the engagement charts, you can see the delivery, bounce and open rates for the top 10 email domains you are sending to, for example, gmail.com, yahoo.com, and hotmail.com.
Lists
In the "Lists" section, you can see how the lists you've sent to during the selected time period have performed. You can also see how their subscriber count has changed during that time. Subscriber counts are calculated at 0:00UTC each day.
