Schedule Report
- Once – Select this option if you just want the report to run once.
- Breakup Report by Days – If you select this option, then the data will be summarized for each date for the date range that you have specified in step one. Since the majority of responses to an email campaign occur within 24 hours of send time, this option is helpful for marketers who want to analyze the "long tail” of their campaigns.
- Recurring – Select this option if you want the report to be sent to you on a recurring basis. You have the option to have the report sent to you on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. You also have the option to specify the time of day (in the Eastern Time Zone) that the report will be generated.
📋Notes:
- You must provide an email address to receive the recurring report.
- The totals in the report reflect the delivery and response data collected from the preceding time period based on the recurring interval that you have selected. For example, if on Wednesday, you created the custom report and selected the option to have the recurring report generated every day at 6 AM then Thursday’s report will include total delivery and response data collected from 6 AM Wednesday to 6 AM Thursday.
- Breakup Report by Days – If you enable this option, then the data will be summarized for each date for the date range that you have specified in Step 1.
Delivery Details
