Account Overview
Statistics & definitions are organized by widgets.
Mailed - Total # of individual emails sent to contacts.
Received - # of successfully delivered emails.
Opened - Total # of contacts that opened a received email.
Clicked - Total # of contacts that clicked a link in a received email.
Delivered - Emails successfully accepted & processed by the receiving mail server.
Transient Failure - A type of bounce recorded by the receiving server. Also known as a soft bounce, a transient failure indicates an issue that is of a temporary nature, like a mailbox being full or the server being down. Transient failures typically return a 400-level bounce code.
Permanent Failure - A type of bounce recorded by the receiving server. Also known as a hard bounce, a permanent failure indicates an issue that is of a permanent nature, like a mailbox does not exist. Permanent failures typically return a 500-level bounce code.
Mailing engagement is a formula involving campaign recipient actions (opens, clicks, unsubscribes, etc.) divided by the number of recipients of that campaign. This score is commonly used to gauge recipient interaction for the campaign as a whole and to identify campaigns that may not be as effective. Learn more here.
Membership health indicates the growth of an account's contacts in the "normal" status.
The Unsubscribe Rate is found by dividing Total Unsubscribes / Total Received. This KPI gives you an indication of the relative quality of your subscriber list and how relevant your subscribers find your content and campaign frequency.
A complaint is recorded when a recipient of a campaign clicks the Spam or Report as Spam button in their email client. Complainants will automatically be unsubscribed from your account. Ideally complaint rates should not exceed .3% on any email.
Delivery time depicts how quickly sent emails are being accepted & processed by receiving email servers. On Delivra's side of processing, all contacts assigned to receive a campaign are queued and sent immediately. Servers on the other end may temporarily defer acceptance for various reasons. In this case, Delivra places deferred contacts into a re-try pattern to continue the send attempt. Typical retry pattern intervals are 5 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours, etc. up to 24 hours.
