Key Performance Indicators kpis

Browse to the home page to check key performance indicators for your platform. These indicators show the number and percentage of messages delivered, opened, clicked, unsubscription, and error rates.

Metrics are calculated for deliveries sent over the previous 7 days by default. You can change the period from the drop-down list on the upper right section of the card. Messages sent to test profiles are excluded.

You can select the channel to display. By default, these indicators reflect metrics for the email channel.

Message delivered ui-delivered-kpi

The number of messages delivered reflects your deliverability rate. It can never be 100% for the following reasons: some addresses or phone numbers can be wrong, spam blockers at emails providers may reject your messages, or deliverability issues can happen.

The Delivered indicator shows the following KPIs, for each channel:

In Adobe Campaign, the rule to mark a message as ‘Delivered’ is:

Count of messages for which the “seed address” field equals “No” and with a status equal to “Taken into account by the service provider” (for SMS) or “Sent” (for Emails) or “Received on the mobile” (for Push notifications).

Total opens ui-open-kpi

Total opens are calculated by tracking the total number of times a message is opened, regardless of how many individual recipients those opens are generated by. This indicator is only available for emails.

The Opens indicator shows the following KPIs, for each channel:

Adobe Campaign detects message opens when the recipient downloads the images in the email. HTML and Multipart/Alternative emails include a 0 pixel image, which enable you to detect messages which have been opened. Since messages in text format do not include any images, it is impossible to detect whether they have been opened or not. Values calculated based on message opens are always estimates, due to the error margin linked to image display.

Click-through rate ui-click-kpi

You can add URLs in your message content, which redirects recipients to a particular page. The Click-through rate measures the number and percentage of recipients who clicked on a link in the message.

The Clicks indicator shows the following KPIs, for each channel:

This metrics are based on the Consolidated tracking table (nms:trackingStats). This aggregate table is used for performance reasons when displaying reports, in the place of the Recipient tracking logs table (nms:trackingLogRcp) and it is not calculated in real-time. The table is generated a few minutes after the tracking logs are retrieved.

Unsubscription rates ui-unsub-kpi

Recipients must be able to opt-out from Email and SMS through a dedicated unsubscription link in the email content, or by replying STOP to a SMS.

The Unsubscriptions indicator shows the following KPIs, for each channel:

Error rates ui-error-kpi

Some messages sent by your Adobe Campaign platform might not reach their destination. It can happen when the user address or phone has typos, or if the recipient changed their email address, or if their mailbox is full. If a message cannot be sent to a profile, the remote server automatically sends an error message to Adobe Campaign. This error is qualified to determine whether the email address, phone number or device should be quarantined.

As a consequence, you should always check and update your database, and make sure all profiles are active and real. Delivery errors can be temporary or permanent - soft or hard bounce - depending why the message was not delivered.

The Errors indicator shows the following KPIs, for each channel:
