Analyzing Push Campaigns

Once you launch a Push campaign through the channel or a journey, its impact on user engagement and revenue can be analyzed in detail through Campaign Overview.

How to Access

Let's quickly show you how you can access campaign analysis through the various sections of your dashboard:

Access Campaign Overview through List of Campaigns

A list of all the campaigns created through the channel can be found under List of Campaigns or the central hub of Push. As shown below, you can click on the (hyperlinked) Campaign’s Name to analyze a campaign in further detail.

Access Campaign Overview Through Journey Overview

A list of all the campaigns attached to a journey can be found under Campaigns in the journey's Overview. As shown below, you can click on the (hyperlinked) Campaign Name to analyze the Push campaign in further detail.

Understanding Top Panel

As highlighted above, the top panel provides a quick snapshot of the campaign with key details like:

• Campaign Name: As defined at Step 1: Audience, while creating the campaign.

• (Target) Audience: Indicates the segment targeted by the campaign, as defined at Step 1: Audience, while creating the campaign.

  • You can click the (hyperlinked) segment's name to analyze its users and rules of segmentation, as shown below.

• (Campaign) Type: As selected at Step 2: When, while creating the campaign.

• (Campaign) Type: As selected when you initiate camaign creation in your dashboard. Push campaigns can be of the following types:

  • One-time

  • Triggered

  • Recurring

  • Transactional

  • Journey (can be created only through the Journey interface)

  • Relay (can be created only through the Relay interface)

  • As shown below, all journey campaigns can be traced back to the journey they're attached to by clicking on the (hyperlinked) campaign type, Journey. Doing so will direct you to the journey's Live View.

• (Campaign) Status: Indicates the current status of the campaign, as per the settings specified at Step 2: When, while creating it.

  • If you save a campaign without launching it, then it will be saved as a draft. The same is reflected by the status, Draft.

Now, let's get you acquainted with its features:

Modify Campaign

As shown below, using the icons placed next to the Campaign's Name, you can choose to Edit, Delete, Duplicate, Pause/Resume and Tag the campaign, as per your marketing needs.

• Given the short lifespan of one-time campaigns, Pause has been disabled for such campaigns.
• Further, all modification icons are hidden for journey campaigns, since they can be modified only through the journey they have been created through.
• Once you Pause a Running campaign, you can choose to Resume it's delivery to the target audience by clicking the Resume icon (that replaced the Pause icon).

• Understanding Report Stats

Step 3: Select Data Breakdown

In this dropdown you can choose from 4 options i.e. Day-wise, Week-wise, Month-wise, and 30 days rolling window. Each of these have been explained below.

• Day-wise: When you choose the day-wise option the report that will be sent to you will have an aggregate of each day i.e. each row will consist of each campaign or variations day wise statistics.
  For example, if you want to download a report for the last 7 days, by choosing the day wise data breakdown option, you will receive a report with 7 rows each containing data for each of the days.
• Week-wise: When you choose this option the report will consist of the aggregate of each week, i.e. Every row will contain the week-wise statistics for each campaign or variation, with each week defined from Monday to Sunday.
  For instance, if you download a report for the past 1 month on the 30 Nov ’23 , and set the data breakdown option to week-wise, then you will receive a report that consists of 5 rows of aggregated data for each week starting from Monday to Sunday. Whereas, if a month starts during the middle of the week, for example the 1st of the month is on a Thursday, then the row for the first week will be from Thursday to Sunday.
• Month-wise: On choosing this option your statistics will be aggregated for each month i.e. each row will consist of month wise statistics. (calendar month will be considered).
  If you wish to download a report spanning from January 1st to November 30th and select the month-wise data breakdown option, you will receive 11 rows. Each row will contain aggregated data for each respective month, providing a comprehensive breakdown of information (based on calendar month).
• 30 day (Rolling window): On choosing this option, your statistics will be aggregated based on every 30 days irrespective of the calendar month, i.e. Every row will include the rolling window statistics for each campaign or variation for up to 30 days.
  For example, if you choose a date range from 15th June to 14th August, two rows will be generated i.e. 15th June to 14th July and 15th July to 14th August.

Step 4: Specify Level of Data Granularity

You can create upto 5 versions of a campaign and test each one to determine the copy that resonates with your audience. Thus, while downloading a report, you can choose to analyse consolidated campaign stats OR a variation-wise breakdown.

Now, let's show you how you can analyze a Push Campaign to gain valuable insights into its impact on user engagement, conversions, and revenue.

How to Analyze

🚧

Must Read

Please refer to Campaign and Channel Performance Indicators for a complete list of all the user-channel interactions tracked for Push campaigns.

As shown above, using the navigation bar, you can toggle between the following sections to slice-and-dice data and analyze multiple aspects of the campaign:

• Overview
• Analyze
• List of Users

Select Time Frame of Analysis

🚧

Please Note: You Cannot Analyse 'List of Users' for a Specific Duration

List of Users includes campaign engagement details for all the users that have been a part of the campaign's target audience throughout its lifetime.

By default, all stats under Overview and Analyze are shown from the campaign's Start Date till present day (if the campaign is running) or till upto 45 Days from the campaign's End Date (if the campaign has ended).

For example, in the above visual, stats for the campaign, Send Push Notification to all devices are shown from the selected Custom Dates

Using the date range filter, you can analyze the campaign's performance for a custom time frame.

📘

The following time periods can be selected here:

• Today

• Yesterday

• Last 30 Days

• Last 60 Days

• Last 90 Days

• Custom Dates (as selected by you)

Now, let's dig into each section, starting with Overview.

Overview

Here you can analyze the campaign's performance from its Start Date till the present day (if the campaign is running) or till 45 days from the campaign's End Date (if the campaign has ended), against key performance indicators like Sent, Message Deliveries, Clicks, Conversions, Revenue, Failures for each Variation. You can alter this by selecting a time frame.

1. Performance Overview

This subsection presents a summary of the campaign against parameters like the number of messages Sent, Failed, Delivered, Queued and indicates its overall performance against key metrics like Unique Clicks, Unique Conversions, and Total Revenue.

• You can also analyze the impact of WebEngage's Amplification Engine on boosting your campaign's reach and ROI for Android users.

Let's go over each card:

Sent

Indicates the total number of messages that have been sent to the campaign's target audience within the selected time frame, including all the messages that failed or got queued for delayed delivery.

• Failures: Indicates unique users who failed to receive the message within the selected time frame. As shown below, you can hover over the field to analyze the reasons for failure.

• For example, in the visual above, we can see that maximum messages failed due to Uninstalls.

• This implies that the users had already uninstalled the app before the Push Notification was sent to them. The same was conveyed by FCM (if Android app) / APNS (if iOS app) as the reason for campaign failure. Hence, all these users will be marked unreachable through Push.

• You can further analyze this behavior through the Uninstalls section of your dashboard.

🚧

Related Read: Why a Push Campaign can Fail

Complete list of all the reasons due to which a Push campaign can fail to get delivered.

Delivered

• Delivery Rate: Calculated against the total number of messages Sent, it indicates the percentage of messages Delivered, within the selected time frame.

• The card also indicates the total number of messages Delivered within the selected time frame.

• Queued: Indicates unique users for whom the messages are currently queued for delayed delivery. As shown below, you can hover over the field to analyze the reasons for queueing.

  • You cannot analyze queued messages for a particular time frame as it represents the current state of message delivery to the target audience.

• For example, in the visual above, we can see that at present, maximum messages have been queued due to the account's Frequency Capping settings. This implies that any or all of the following scenarios have occurred:

  • The upper limit on the total number of messages a user can receive within a Day/Week/Month has been reached for a few users of the target audience.
  • The time gap (maintained between the delivery of subsequent messages) is currently being observed for a few users of the target audience.

• If a delivery window doesn't open up for a user before the queueing duration ends, then the message will fail to get delivered to them. (Detailed read on how delivery time is determined for queued messages)

Unique Clicks

• Unique Click Rate: Calculated against the total number of messages Delivered, it indicates the share of users that clicked on the Push Notification within the selected time frame.

• The card also indicates the number of users that clicked on the Push Notification , helping you gauge the campaign's true impact on user engagement.

• If your campaign target includes multiple devices or if Enhanced Delivery Options is enabled, you can check 'Distribution' or bifurcation of unique clicks to see which OS or push services contributed the most clicks.

• The impact of our Amplification engine on boosting the ROI for your Android app is indicated in green here. (How It works)

Unique Conversions

• Unique Conversion Rate: Calculated against the total number of messages Delivered, it indicates the share of users that have performed the campaign's Conversion Event at least once within the selected time frame.

• The impact of our Amplification engine on boosting the ROI for your Android app is indicated in green here. (How It works)

• The card also indicates the number of users converted through the Push Notification, helping you draw a fair comparison between the number of users who clicked on the campaigns, users who converted, and the total Revenue.

• For example, a quick look at the campaign's Performance Overview below reveals an Average Revenue per User (ARPU) of $12.K (that's a great ROI for a one-time Push campaign!)

🚧

Please Note

Conversions will not be tracked for your campaign/journey if you have not specified a Conversion Event at Step 4: Conversion Tracking, while creating it.

Detailed Read on how Conversion Tracking works.

• Compare Unique Conversions with Control Group: If you have enabled Control Group while creating the campaign, then as highlighted below, you will be able to draw a scientific comparison between the campaign's conversion rate and the organic conversion rate - helping you understand its true impact.

👍

Analyzing Push Campaign's Conversion Rate against Control Group

In the above visual, we've analyzed a One-time Push campaign nudging users to purchase plushies. Here's what its Performance Overview reveals:

• Campaign's Unique Conversions: 1.15%

• Unique CG Conversions: 1.13% (Control Group)

• Conversion Uplift: 1.77%

These stats imply that the campaign played a minimal role in motivating users to purchase as most of them were organically inclined to buy the plushies.

However, had we not tested the campaign with a Control Group, the e-commerce app would have wrongfully attributed all the conversions to the campaign!

Thus, it's always advisable to test your campaigns (and journeys) with a Control Group before sending it to the entire target audience to ensure that it helps amplify the desired user behavior, and not hinder it. Here's how you can automate Variation testing with a Control Group.

Now, let's walk you through the metrics shown here:

• Unique CG Conversions: Calculated against the total number of users included in the Control Group (CG), it indicates the share of users that performed the campaign's Conversion Event at least once within the selected time frame, even though they didn't receive the campaign.

• Conversion Uplift: Indicates the percentage increase or decrease in the Unique Conversion rate achieved by the campaign, calculated against the Unique Conversion rate of the Control Group.

  • It's shown beside the campaign's Unique Conversion rate, in Green for positive uplift, in Red for negative uplift, and in Grey for no uplift.

👍

Fact Check

Conversion Uplift equals [(Unique Conversion Rate of Campaign/ Unique Conversion Rate of CG) x 100] - 100

Revenue

Indicates the amount of Revenue tracked for the Total Conversions that have occurred within the selected time frame.

• Revenue numbers are always shown in the currency selected by you while setting up Revenue Mapping

• The card also indicates the impact of our Amplification engine on boosting the ROI for your Android app. (How It works)

🚧

Please Note

Revenue will not be tracked for your campaign if:

• You have not set up Revenue Mapping for your account

• You have not specified a Conversion Event while creating the campaign (or its journey)

• You have not mapped the specified Conversion Event as a Revenue Event in your account

Detailed Read on how Revenue tracking works and how Revenue is attributed to a campaign.

Impact of our Amplification engine on your Push Notification's Unique Clicks, Conversions & Revenue

Our Android SDK v3.12.0 makes it possible for you to amplify push notification deliveries, helping you achieve up to 30% higher Clicks, Conversions and Revenue!

As shown above, you can analyse the real-time impact of WebEngage's Amplification Engine on your campaign's through the stats indicated in green. All you need to do is upgrade/integrate your Android apps with the latest SDK version and we'll take care of the rest :)

👍

Understanding How Amplification Stats are Calculated

With reference to the Unique Clicks indicated in the above visual:

• Unique Click Rate = 0.2%

• Amplification Rate = 8%

  • Unique Android users that clicked on the notification = 6,022

  • 8% of 6,022 users = 481 - indicates users that clicked on notification after receiving it through the amplification engine

  • This means that the amplification rate is a subset of the total unique click rate. It's explicitly calculated for Android users that are using the app version that contains the WebEngage Android SDK v3.12.0.

Amplification stats are calculated in a similar manner for Unique Conversions and Revenue. You can hover over the corresponding tooltips to access these details for your campaign.

2. Variation Comparison

The most insightful section of Campaign Overview, Variation Comparison helps you analyze the impact of each message Variation against key metrics like their Layout (each Variation can have a different template), Dismisses, Clicks, Conversions, Revenue and so on, for the chosen time frame.

However, depending on the settings specified while creating the campaign, the stats shown here may vary. Let's get you acquainted with the impact of each setting:

🚧

Skip to: How to customize and analyze this section as per your strategic needs.

2.1. When Variation Distribution is Set Manually

If you have manually specified the audience size for all the Variations at Step 4: Conversion Tracking, then using this section, you will be able to identify a winning Variation by analyzing the performance of each. The following aspects of the test will be highlighted here:

• Percentage of the audience targeted by each Variation (calculated against the total target audience)
• The performance of each Variation against all the performance indicators tracked for Push campaigns.

🚧

Skip to: How to customize and analyze this section as per your strategic needs.

2.2. When Send Winning Variation is Enabled

If you have enabled Send Winning Variation Automatically at Step 4: Conversion Tracking while creating the campaign, then you will be able to analyze the test results through this section. As shown below, the following aspects of the test will be highlighted here:

• The winning Variation (which was automatically sent as the only campaign to the entire target audience)
• The performance of each Variation that was tested with the test audience

For example, in the above visual, we can see that Variation C was determined as the winner as it achieved the highest Unique Conversion Rate. This is because Conversions was selected as the Win Criteria of the test while setting it up. Similarly, you too can select a custom Win Criteria for testing the Variations, as per your business goals.

🚧

Skip to: How to customize and analyze this section as per your strategic needs.

2.3. When Control Group is Enabled

You can compare each Variation's conversion rate with the Control Group's organic conversion rate to determine it's true impact on driving conversions. This can be done by enabling Control Group at Step 4: Conversion Tracking while creating the campaign or the journey (the campaign is attached to).

As shown below, the extent to which a Variation influences users to perform the Conversion Event can be measured through its Conversion Uplift, indicated alongside Total Conversions and Unique Conversions, in Green, for positive uplift, in Red, for negative uplift and in Grey for no uplift.

👍

Analyzing Variations with Control Group through Conversion Uplift

In the above visual, we have compared the performance of 2 Variations of a Push Notification and a Control Group against Unique Conversions, Total Conversions, and Revenue.

• Both Variations and the Control Group were equally divided amongst the campaign's test audience.

• Since Control Group was enabled for the campaign, Unique Conversions was the sole Win Criteria used to identify a winner version of the message.

On comparing the Variations with the Control Group we learn that:

• User who did not receive the campaign, as a part of the Control Group, converted at a rate of 0.17% (Total Conversions), contributing $1.2K in Revenue.

• Variation A influenced the maximum number of users to convert, achieving a Conversion Uplift of 788% and contributing a whopping $18K in Revenue!

  • As a result, Variation A was automatically sent as the only campaign to the entire target audience. (How it works)

• Variation B achieved a Unique Conversion rate of 0.05%, representing 80% lower conversions than the Control Group.

  • This implies that Variation B actually had a negative impact by deterring users from making a purchase.

2. How you can test Variations with a smaller test audience and automatically send the winner to the entire target audience of the campaign!

Now, let's show you how you can slice-and-dice this section to gain relevant insights:

Step 1: Customize Table

By adding values to the query bar highlighted above, you can choose to analyze Variations split by the Device, OS or vice-versa, against all the performance indicators tracked for Push campaigns.

In doing so, you will be shown a secondary view of each Variation, split by the selected option, helping you analyze user-campaign interactions in further detail, as shown below.

📘

The following options can be selected under both the fields:

Variations: Helps you compare the performance of all the Variations for the selected time frame.

Technology

• Device Type (Mobile, Desktop, Tablet)

• OS (iOS, Android)

Step 2: Select Performance Indicators

As shown above, using the filter icon placed on the top right, you can select/deselect metrics to customize the table as per your analytical needs. For example, in the above visual, we have analyzed each campaign Variation against Unique Clicks, Total Clicks, Unique Conversions, and Total Conversions.

It reveals that users that received Variation B, performed the campaign's Conversion Event multiple times (indicated by the fact that Unique Conversions equal 22, while Total Conversions equal 53).

📘

The following metrics can be selected here:

Overall (Sent): Helps you analyze the total number of messages that were sent to the target audience within the selected time frame, including all the messages that may have failed or may still be queued.

Overall (Delivered): Helps you analyze the total number of messages that were successfully delivered to the target audience within the selected time frame.

Totals (Total Dismisses, Total Clicks, Total Conversions, and Total Click-through Conversions)

Uniques: (Unique Dismisses, Unique Clicks, Unique Conversions, Unique Click-through Conversions)

• Failures: Helps you analyze all the reasons due to which a Push campaign could fail to get delivered. Here's the complete list.

• Queued Helps you analyze all the reasons due to which a Push campaign could get queued for delayed delivery. Here's the complete list.

• Revenue (Total Revenue, Click-through Revenue)

(Detailed read on what each performance indicator denotes)

Step 3: Preview Variation's Message & Layout

As shown above, using the View icon _placed next to each _Variation's header, you can preview the Push Notification for both, iOS and Android users. This is a great way to understand how varied copies and layouts impact user-campaign interactions.

For example, in the above visual, on comparing the layouts we learn that Variation B (that recorded the highest conversions) was a Banner style notification, while Variation A was a simple Text notification.

• This indicates that adding a visual to the notification could have played a major role in motivating users to convert.

Step 4: Select a Data Format

While the default view shows you percentage values (%) for all the campaign performance indicators, using the overflow menu highlighted above, you can choose to analyze these stats as numbers (by selecting #).

• Percentage value of messages that are Queued or have Failed (Failures) is calculated against the total number of messages Sent.

• Percentage value of all the performance indicators like Dismisses, Clicks, Conversions is calculated against the total number of messages Delivered.

3. Carousel / Ratings Review

An additional section is added to Push Campaign Overview if you have selected Carousel or Rating as a layout for a campaign Variation, helping you analyze the impact of each layout on user engagement.

3.1. Carousel Images

If you select Carousel as the layout at Step 3: Message, while creating a Variation, then, as shown above, you will be able to analyze the impact of each image of the carousel on user engagement against Impressions and Clicks. Let's quickly walk you through all the columns of this section:

• Type: Indicates the type of creative (image, GIF) added to the carousel while creating the campaign.

• Unique Impressions: Indicates the number of users that viewed a carousel image on their device (mobile, tablet), within the selected time frame.

• Total Impressions: Indicates the total number of times users viewed a carousel image on their device (mobile, tablet), within the selected time frame.

• Unique Clicks: Indicates the number of users that clicked on the carousel image within the selected time frame.

• Total Clicks: Indicates the total number of times users that clicked on the carousel image within the selected time frame.

3.2. Ratings

If you select Rating as the layout at Step 3: Message, while creating the Push campaign, then you will be able to analyze the responses collected for all the users against a scale of 1 - 5 stars, as shown above.

4. Engagement Trends

This section helps you analyze day-wise user engagement trends for each Variation against the following performance indicators, as per the chosen time frame:

• Sent
• Total Failures

Skip to: How you can customize the stats shown here as per your analytical needs.

Now, let's show you how you can customize this section as per your analytical needs:

Step 1: Select a Variation

By default, engagement trends are shown only for Variation A (the first version of the campaign). Using the dropdown placed on the top left, you can choose to analyze trends for each Variation against - Sent, Failures, Queued, Unique Dismisses, Unique Clicks and Unique Conversions.

• If you have enabled Control Group for the campaign, then you can choose to analyze its Unique Conversion trends by selecting 'Control Group' from the dropdown highlighted above.

While the default format of visualization is a Line Graph, as shown above, using the overflow menu placed on the top right, you can change this to a Bar Graph or a Table, as per your analytical needs.

Analyze

While Overview presents a comprehensive view of the campaign's performance, this section helps you slice-and-dice data in multiple ways to gain maximum insights into user-campaign interactions.

First Impression

The default view of this section shows you a Day-wise trend for all the messages that have been Sent from the campaign's Start Date till the present date or its End Date (whichever occurs first).

Using the query bar highlighted above, you can choose to analyze the campaign's performance against a specific performance indicator, split by 2 parameters for a custom time frame.

Now, let's walk you through all the steps of analysis:

Step 1: Select a Variation/Control Group

If you have created multiple Variations for a Push campaign, or have enabled Control Group for it, then using the dropdown highlighted above, you can choose to selectively analyze the performance of each.

However, if your campaign consists of just one Variation, then this dropdown gets hidden.

📘

Any one of the following options can be selected here:

• Overall: Helps you analyze the combined performance of all the Variations against each metric for the selected time frame.

  • For example, if you choose to analyze Revenue, Overall, then we will sum up the Revenue tracked for each Variation to help you analyze their collective impact.

• Variation A/B/C/D/E: Helps you analyze the performance of a Variation, against a selected performance indicator, as per the chosen time frame.

• Control Group: If you have enabled Control Group at Step 4: Conversion Tracking while creating the campaign or its journey, then selecting this option will help you its Unique Conversions/ Total Conversions.

This section has been specially designed to help you track down campaign engagement details for each user that targeted by the campaign, over its entire lifetime. Thus, analyzing List of Users comes in handy when digging into user-campaign engagement details for Triggered, Recurring or Journey, and Relay Push campaigns (as they are on-going cycles of communication).

First Impression

By default, List of Users shown you a Summary of user-campaign interactions for All Users who have been included in the campaign's target audience, from its Start Date till the present date or its End Date (whichever occurs first).

Now, let's get you acquainted with its features:

Customize List

Here's how you can customize the List of Users as per your analytical needs:

Select Time Frame

As shown above, you can select the Time Frame from the drop-down and customize your result. From the date range picker, you can select the date range for which you want the data. You will be able to view/ download data for a max of 30 days at one time.

Search for a User

As shown above, using the search box placed on the top right, you can dig into the engagement status of a particular user by searching for their User ID, Email, and Phone number.

🚧

Why is the User ID shown multiple times?

As visible in the above visual, on searching for a user, multiple rows get populated with the same User ID. Each row contains a different message status with a varying date-time of Delivery, Read, and Clicks.

This is because the same user was sent the recurring WhatsApp campaign in multiple runs, and in each run, they interacted differently with the message. Thus, if a triggered, recurring, transactional, journey, or relay campaign is sent to a user multiple times, then you will be able to analyze their interaction with each one.

Access User Profiles

As shown above, you can access the profile of a user targeted by the campaign by clicking their (hyperlinked) User ID. Doing so will help you analyze the user's channel preferences, personal details, device preferences, latest interactions with your campaigns, app, website, the technical aspects of each interaction much more!
