Reports overview

Not sure where to start with analyzing your campaigns? You’re in the right place. This page provides guidance on which reports and analytics you can use to answer common marketing strategy questions.

Which variant won?

Campaign Analytics

Use Campaign Analytics to get real-time updates on high-level results of each campaign and variant within that campaign, as well as message-level details. You can adjust the date range to understand campaign performance over time and preview your messages to remember what you were testing.

Canvas Analytics

  • Number of messages sent within the Canvas
  • Total number of times customers have entered the Canvas
  • How many customers have converted
  • Revenue generated by the Canvas
  • Estimated total audience


Performance by Variant

Analyze Variants in a live Canvas to see automatically calculated conversion rates for every conversion event. You’ll also see uplift and confidence calculations for each variant and conversion event in an easy-to-compare table format.

More questions you can answer with this report:

  • Was there statistically significant confidence?
  • How did Variant 1 perform versus Variant 2?

Report Builder

Use the Report Builder to compare the results of multiple campaigns or Canvases in a single view and quickly determine which engagement strategies most impacted your key metrics.

Check out this page to:

Retention Reports

Use Retention Reports for campaigns or Canvases to measure retention for users who have performed a selected event in a specific campaign.

Check out this report to:
