Monitor and analyze your email campaign performance to optimize future newsletters through built-in analytics tools.

Email Campaign Dashboard Overview

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

  • Includes spam folder deliveries
  • Large lists are sent in waves, requiring a few minutes for complete delivery

  • 20% or higher is considered healthy
  • Note: Accuracy affected by:
    • Email provider privacy policies
    • Image loading settings
    • Apple Mail Privacy Protection

Click-Through Rate

  • Measures subscribers who clicked campaign links
  • Excludes unsubscribe links, email addresses, and phone numbers
  • Useful for evaluating content effectiveness
