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 WhatsApp 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:
Select the 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).
As highlighted above, you can analyze the campaign's performance for a custom time frame using the date range filter.
The following durations 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 Impressions Clicks, Conversions, Revenue 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 total number of messages Sent, Failed, Delivered, Queued, Read and indicates its overall performance against key metrics like Unique Clicks, Unique Conversions, and Revenue.*
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 above visual, we learn that the maximum number of messages have failed due to the reason, Undelivered. This could happen due to any of the following reasons (if you're using Infobip as your WSP):
- The message has been received by the WSP, but the user's device is out of network coverage area.
- The message has been sent to the user's mobile operator, but it failed to deliver it to them.
- The message has been rejected by the user's mobile operator.

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 cannot 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 learn that 334 messages are currently queued for delayed delivery due to the reason, DND Queue. This indicates that DND Hours are presently applicable to the users, as per their timezone.
- We will attempt message delivery as soon as the duration ends.
- However, if the campaign's queueing duration ends before a delivery window opens up, the message will fail. (Detailed read on how delivery time is determined for queued campaigns)

Read
Indicates the number of users that have viewed or 'read' your WhatsApp message at least once within the selected time frame.
Unique Clicks
-
Unique Click Rate: Calculated against the total number of messages Delivered, it indicates the share of users that clicked on a link included in the message within the selected time frame.
-
The card also indicates the number of users who've clicked the message link at least once within the selected time frame.
Unique Conversions
-
Unique Conversion Rate: Calculated against the total number of messages Delivered, it indicates the share of users that performed the campaign's Conversion Event at least once within the selected time frame.
-
The card also indicates the number of users converted through the WhatsApp message within the selected time frame.
Comparing Number of Impressions (Read) Clicks, Conversions & Revenue for a WhatsApp Campaign
For example, the campaign's Performance Overview above reveals:
An Average Revenue per User (ARPU) of $246.
An Impression-Click-through Rate of 3%.
A massive Click-through-Conversion Rate of 100%!
- The CTR clearly indicates that most users who clicked on the message had a high intent to book their hotel stay through the app.
So, why did the campaign record such a low conversion rate overall? We'll need to dig into the following aspects to find our answers:
- Is the checkout process too long or cumbersome? Can it be optimized to enable faster transactions?
- Does the platform offer multiple payment options to cater to varying user preferences?
- Does the platform offer competitive prices?
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.
- 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 WhatsApp Campaign's Conversion Rate against Control Group
In the above visual, we've compared the Conversion rate of a one-time WhatsApp campaign against that of a Control Group.
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 revenue), 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 Control Group) 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
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

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.
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 targeted user targeted by clicking their (hyperlinked) User ID.
