Mailing Activity Report
If there's only one report to know about in Thrive Marketing Professional, it’s the Mailing Activity Report. Every time you send a message, Thrive Marketing Professional creates a corresponding report with the metrics for that message. While you may be eager to see things right away, try to let 24-48 hours elapse before reviewing a report. This gives enough time for most subscribers to have a chance to view and interact with the message.
NOTE: Mailing Activity Reports are specific to individual sent messages.
To access a message's activity report:
- Navigate to Messages > List.
- Click the down arrow to the right of the page title and select Sent.
- Click a message to select it, and then click Track.
The following tabs are available in each report:
- Snapshot - A high-level view of all major benchmarks and statistics.
- Key Metrics - Any key statistics regarding your mailings.
- Details - Granular details about many different reporting options ranging from deliveries to open rate to web tracking, etc.
- Published Mailing - A view of the published mailing along with a heat map that lets you view the mailing locations that had the most user-interactions (links, etc.).
- Options - Shows the meta-data associated with the mailing (subject, dates, addresses, etc.).
Message Summary Reports
While Mailing Activity Reports give you a good look into individual messages, sometimes you want a birds-eye view of everything. This is where the Message Summary Reports come into play. This report offers a view of all your messages in one convenient, searchable package.
To access it:
- Navigate to Messages > Reports > Message Summary Reports.
- The Select Messages tab is where you apply filters to refine the report's results. These filters are described in detail in Filter the Message Summary Reports.
- Click View Reports to view the summary details for your chosen mailings.
