The Campaigns Performance report provides aggregate data of all sent campaigns in your account. This includes campaigns that were sent to a list(s) and automation emails that were sent to at least one contact. This report does not include 1: 1 emails sent to contacts.

With this report, you will be able to:

  • View overall performance metrics for sent campaigns. This includes:
    • Amount of ecommerce revenue generated (requires a connection with a Deep Data integration)
    • Number of sends, opens, clicks, unsubscribes, and bounces
    • Open rates, click-to-open rates, click rates, unsubscribe rates, forward rates, and bounce rates
  • View metrics for split test emails to see how each message performed
  • Set a date range to see how your campaigns performed during a specific time period
  • Export the data into a CSV, TXT, Excel (2007 or later), JSON, HTML, or Markdown file

Only users assigned to the Admin group in an account can access this report. Learn more about user permissions.

How to access the Campaigns Performance report

There are two ways to access the Campaigns Performance report:

  • The first way is to go to "Campaigns" > "Campaigns Performance"
  • The second way is to go to "Reports" > "Campaigns Performance"

The Campaigns Performance report will load the history of your campaigns sent in the last 14 days.

How to filter data in the Campaigns Performance report

At the top of the report, there are three filters that you can use to view Campaign Performance data. These three filters are:

  • Campaign Sent Date
  • Result Start
  • Result End

Campaign Sent Date filter

"Campaign Sent Date" refers to the time period when a campaign was last sent.

The options you can use under this filter are:

  • Today
  • Yesterday (includes the day you are searching for and the previous date)
  • Last 7 days
  • Last 14 days
  • Last 30 days
  • Custom Range

If you choose the "Custom Range" option, then you can set your own "Campaign Sent Date" range using the "Sent Beginning" and "Sent End" filters. To use these filters, click the "Sent Beginning" field. A modal calendar will appear. Click the date on the modal calendar to select it. Then perform these same steps for the "Sent End" date.

  If viewing active automation email metrics, the "Sent End" date filter needs to either be or contain the current date. If you set the "Sent End" date filter to be before the current date, then the report will not show accurate results

Result Start and Result End date filters

Next to the "Campaign Sent Date" filter are the "Result Start" and "Result End" date filters. These are used to display campaign metrics, such as opens and clicks. The date range is associated with the Campaign Sent Date time period. For example, if you wanted to view campaigns sent in the last 14 days and how they performed in the last seven days you would set it up like this:

  • Campaign Sent Date = Last 14 Days
  • Result Start = March 11th (or whatever is 7 days before the current date)
  • Result End = March 18th (or whatever the current date is)

To set a date range, click either the start date field or the end date field. Then click the calendar icon to select a date.

Other ways to view data in the Campaigns Performance Report

Clicking any column header will let you sort the report data in ascending or descending order.

Clicking the name of a campaign will redirect you to the individual report for that campaign.

Clicking the subject line of a split test campaign will let you view performance metrics for each message in the split test.
