    Sent Count and Metrics Availability

    Sent count is not decremented for delivery errors. This means that even if the ESP reports a delivery failure, such as a bounce or drop, the count of emails marked as Sent remains unchanged. These metrics are also available for cc and bcc recipients.

    This section also displays the following stats:

    • Errors: Displays the number of errors for the campaign. These can be technical errors, such as email provider errors, or non-technical errors, such as message frequency exceeded.
    • Control Group: Displays the number of users to whom the campaign was not sent.
    • CC Sent: Displays the total number of emails sent to recipients under the CC field.
    • BCC Sent: Displays the total number of emails sent to recipients under the BCC field.

    Revenue Performance

    The Revenue Performance section shows the revenue boost achieved from your campaign. The following information is displayed in this section:

    • Incremental revenue due to this campaign: Indicates the additional income directly attributed to a specific campaign. It is calculated as:
      [(ARPU of Target Group – ARPU of Control Group) x Number of Users to whom the campaign was sent], where ARPU is calculated as: (Revenue generated / Number of users to whom the campaign was sent)
    • Boost in revenue due to this campaign: Indicates the percentage increase in revenue achieved from running the campaign compared (revenue generated from Target Group) to the baseline revenue that would have been generated without it (revenue generated from Control Group). It is calculated as:
      {[(Target Group ARPU – Control Group ARPU) / Control Group ARPU] x 100}

    Users' Conversion Funnel

    You can view stats for each variant under the User conversion funnel for A/B test, Split delivery, and Message on user property campaigns.

    The Viewed numbers in a report can sometimes be unusually high because of virus scanners, email forwards, email groups, and so on. For more information, refer to Unusually High Email Opens and Clicks.

    Based on your tracking requirement, you can select to hide either the Viewed or Delivered step.

    Key Points to Remember

    The Conversion Performance number for All Variants may be equal to or less than the combined Conversion Performance number for each individual variant. For example, if the Conversion Performance number for All Variants is 10500, with Variant A at 5575 and Variant B at 5053, the total for Variants A and B combined is 10628, exceeding the total for All Variants.

    This scenario can occur due to the following reasons:

    • For Live campaigns, different variants are delivered to various devices, identified by different GUIDs for the same user. Consequently, the Conversion Performance number for All Variants might not match the sum of the Conversion Performance numbers for each variant. For instance, a user may receive Variant A before uninstalling the app and then receive Variant B after reinstalling it until their identity is established.
    • For Recurring campaigns (user property campaigns), the user can qualify more than once when and receive different message copy each time. For example, the user upgrades to a new plan. In this case, the message copy received by the user before and after upgrading the Membership type can be different.

    In both the cases, the same user is counted twice, once for Variant A and once for Variant B. However, when calculating the Conversion Performance number for All Variants, each user is counted only once.

    Split of Clicks

    You can track the distribution of clicks on each link in your email campaign. For example, you want to send an email promotion for an upcoming movie on your video streaming app. You can create an email campaign and add links for reviews, promotions, movie merchandise, and so on, and then send the campaign. We will record the clicks for each link in the email, and you can see them on the Campaign Stats page.

    Email Campaign Errors

    Delivery Errors

    Delivery errors occur when the ESP reports a failure in delivering the email to the recipient's inbox. These errors typically happen after the email has been successfully dispatched to the ESP but cannot be delivered to the end user. Common reasons include:

    • Soft Bounce
    • Hard Bounce
    • Dropped

    Soft Bounce

    A soft bounce indicates that mail bounced due to one of the following reasons even though the email address was valid and the email message reached the recipient's mail server:

    • The mailbox was full (the user has exceeded their storage quota)
    • The recipient server was down
    • The message was rejected as spam
    • The message was too large for the recipient's inbox.
      CleverTap campaign reports include soft bounces and do not mark the users as unsubscribed.

    Hard Bounce

    A hard bounce indicated that the email was returned to the sender and was completely undeliverable. However, common reasons it got rejected include:

    • The email address does not exist
    • The recipient's email server has rejected the email permanently

    CleverTap campaign reports include hard bounces and mark the users as unsubscribed.

    πŸ“˜

    Deferred emails

    The time for retrying a deferred email and the number of retries depend on the ESP. For SendGrid, the retry period is set to 72 hours.
