Analyzing and Optimizing Campaigns

You might be running campaigns to support your product-led marketing activities already. Analyzing and optimizing them is equally important for running successful campaigns.

Introducing ‘Campaign reports’ on Inflection. This feature gives you a unified view of how your emails are performing. You can analyze the entire campaign’s and each email’s performance up to an individual recipient level in Campaign reports.

The report gives you insights on all the basic deliverability (delivered emails, bounced emails, etc.) and engagement metrics (open and click rates, etc.). Let’s break down the sections in the Overview tab.

Delivery info gives you a glimpse of the overall performance of your campaign and a little more detailed view of opens and clicks.

‍Top links section shows you your best-performing link and the number of times it was clicked.

‍Email client shows you a comparative bar graph of opens and clicks in different email clients and browsers used to access your campaign emails.

‍Campaign history as the name suggests shows you the historical performance of your recurring or batch campaigns at the instances they were run.

Campaign Report at Recipient Level

You can see the complete list of recipients with individual tabs that show you the deliverability metrics — the opens, clicks with a preview of the links, bounced, unsent, unsubscribed, and spam reporters.

The campaign report at recipient level also populates the reason for the bounce and sending failure to help you keep a healthy list of contacts.
