Out of the box reporting for standard industry email metrics does not exist in this platform if you want to be able to slice and dice the data. I have to look to AO Emails to refine by Vertical or Segment, rather than Email Logs, however, it's not intuitive.



Email Logs vs AO Emails

Sent / Delivered / Total Opens / Total Clicks / Unique Opens / Unique Clicks

Email send time (this is equivalent to Delivered) / Email Open Count / Link Clicked Count / Last Email Opened Date / Email Clicked Date

I'm not sure how that could be any less intuitive. Plus, Email Logs and these fields in AO Emails do not allow for Formula fields so I can't have a report or a dashbaord that displays these metrics in rates, from what I've tried so far.



Email Template Performance Report, found in Program Analytics, would be a great start alas it is nowhere to be found in Report Builder and is missing some key metrics. Please give us standard email marketing metric fields that don't require this type of work around.

    Hi Kelly,

    We will enhance the existing formula fields capability in Report Builder to support Email Logs object as well. I will update with more details once we pick it up.

    Hi Rakesh, great to hear, however doesn't solve all problems. Email logs doesn't look up to the Company object, I cannot dig into our email metrics through email logs by things such as product, segment, vertical, etc.

    @sai_ram @lila_meyer  Please change the ‘implemented’ status of this post.

    Bionic reporting and formula fields are not replacements for out of the box reporting.

    It is unreasonable that in order to report on STANDARD email metrics, you have to create a data design, convert date fields to number values, introduce formula fields, etc, just to report on industry standard email metrics. Look at Program Analytics - that data exists somewhere, why is this so difficult?

    @kelly I agree with you. We are planning to redesign program analytics next quarter and will definitely consider your feedback. Once the initial designs are done, I will reach out to you to get more feedback.
