Marketing Metrics aggregates unique messages into delivery and engagement trends. Use it for overall health; use Marketing Logs when you need evidence for one message.

Open metrics

Go to MarketingMetrics. The default view covers the last 30 days. Choose:
  • Last 24 hours
  • Last 7 days
  • Last 30 days
  • A custom range within the available 120-day window
The 24-hour range groups volume by hour. Longer ranges group it by day.

Filter by send type

Use Send type to compare: This is useful when a large broadcast would otherwise hide the behaviour of lower-volume automated email.

Metric definitions

Rates use these denominators:
  • Delivery, rejection, bounce, defer, and complaint rates: messages sent
  • Open and click rates: messages delivered
Delivery statuses can overlap. For example, a receiver can defer a message and later accept it, so Deferred and Delivered are not necessarily mutually exclusive.

Send volume

The volume chart groups messages by their send time. Hover a bar to see:
  • Sent
  • Delivered
  • Opened
  • Clicked
Look for sudden changes rather than treating one isolated hour or day as a conclusion. Compare the same send type and a similar audience when evaluating a campaign.

Delivery health

The delivery-health panel compares delivered, rejected, bounced, and deferred counts and rates. Investigate when:
  • Rejections rise after adding a domain or changing a sender
  • Bounces cluster after a new import
  • Deferrals rise at one recipient provider
  • Complaints increase after a content or frequency change
Open Marketing Logs with a matching date and status to see the receiver responses behind the aggregate.

Top recipient domains

This list shows the domains receiving the most messages during the selected range. It can reveal whether a delivery change is:
  • Account-wide
  • Concentrated at Gmail, Microsoft, Yahoo, or another provider
  • Driven by an unusual audience mix
Compare the provider distribution before and after a metric change. A campaign sent mostly to one provider is not directly comparable to one with a different domain mix.

Interpret opens carefully

Open tracking depends on a remote image loading. Results can be affected by:
  • Image blocking
  • Privacy proxies and prefetching
  • Security scanners
  • Cached images
  • Text-only reading
Treat opens as a trend signal. Clicks and product-side outcomes are usually stronger indicators of deliberate engagement.

From a metric to a diagnosis

1

Narrow the range and send type

Identify when the change began and whether it affects broadcasts or non-broadcast traffic.
2

Check recipient-domain concentration

Determine whether the issue is isolated to one receiving network.
3

Open Marketing Logs

Filter by date, status, sender, recipient, broadcast ID, or contact ID.
4

Inspect message timelines

Read the final receiver response, outbound IP, return path, and event sequence.
5

Correct the source

Fix DNS, list quality, content, frequency, or a broken destination based on the evidence.
