The Automations Performance report provides aggregate data of all automations in your account that have at least one sent campaign. You can use this to see how many contacts entered your automations and how well your automation campaigns are performing at-a-glance.
With this report, you will be able to:
- View automation performance metrics, including number of contacts entered and campaign metrics
- Set a date range to see automation metrics within 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.
Take note
All email opens from Apple Mail clients will be reflected in these metrics. This includes contacts who use the Apple Mail app with iOS 15 with Mail Privacy Protection (MPP) enabled on their device. To learn more about MPP, visit ActiveCampaign and Apple iOS 15 Mail Privacy Protection.
