Campaign & Channel Performance Indicators

At WebEngage, we believe that data-driven messaging is one of the most scientific ways to deliver contextual experiences tailored to each user. This is why we have identified a list of all the generic actions users can perform while interacting with campaigns sent through each channel of engagement and track them as Campaign Events.

Thus, each time you send a campaign, we automatically track several performance indicators or campaign events like Deliveries, Failures, Opens, Impressions, Dismisses, Unsubscribes, Clicks, and so on, helping you gauge its impact in real-time!

🚧

For Your Reference

Here's a list of System (Campaign) Events gleaned for each channel post-integration.

Now, let's walk you through the performance indicators that help you analyze the impact of each channel and its campaigns, across your dashboard.

Push

Once you send a Push campaign to your users, it goes through the following stages in its lifecycle:

Each stage is tracked as a campaign event or a performance indicator, helping you analyze the campaign's impact on user engagement, conversions, and revenue. You can also analyze the collective impact of all the campaigns sent through the channel by analyzing Push Overview.

Additionally, we have also made it possible for you to identify the stage at which a campaign is currently at, for each user through Latest Message Status. Detected in real-time, it can be analyzed through the List of Users of a campaign and each User's Profile.

Now, let's get you acquainted with all the performance indicators tracked for Push campaigns:

Sent

Indicates the total number of messages sent to a push campaign's target audience, within the selected time frame.

Failures (Push)

Indicates the total number of messages that failed to get delivered to a campaign's target audience, within the selected time frame.

Here's a list of all the reasons due to which a Push campaign could fail:

• Uninstalled: Indicates that the user uninstalled your app, due to which the notification could not be delivered.

• Configuration Issue: Indicates an error with your auth keys, certificates or incorrect FCM (Firebase Cloud Messaging) configuration. Detailed read on how to configure Push as a channel.

• DND Queue Drop: All messages meant to be delivered during a user's DND hours get queued as per the campaign's queueing duration. However, if the duration expires before a delivery window opens up, then the campaign will fail. Such failures are indicated by DND Queue Drop.

• Engagement Window: If a campaign is sent with DND Hours enabled and no Queueing Duration has been specified for it, then all messages sent during a user's DND Hours will fail to get delivered. The same is indicated by Engagement Window.

🚧

Please refer to DND Hours and Queueing for a detailed read.

• Frequency Capping Queue Drop: If the daily, weekly or monthly frequency cap has been exhausted for a user, then all additional campaigns will get queued for delayed delivery, as per each campaign's queueing duration. However, if the duration expires before a delivery window opens up, then the campaign will fail. Such failures are indicated by Frequency Cap Queue Drop.

🚧

Please refer to Frequency Capping and Queueing for a detailed read.

• Personalization Error: Indicates an error with the personalization variables (user attributes, event attributes) or Nunjucks syntax used in the push notification's copy.

• Device Not Registered/ No Device: Indicates any of the following errors:

  • Delay in Registering Device: A device is registered and available for delivering push notifications as soon as we receive its FCM (Android) or APNs (iOS) details. The first time a user installs your app, it takes a few seconds to a minute for us to glean these details. Thus, if campaign delivery is attempted before the device is registered, then it will fail to get delivered.

  • Incorrect Integration with WebEngage: if there is a technical glitch in the way the WebEngage SDK has been integrated with your app, then all push notifications will fail to get delivered to your users. Detailed read on how to integrate WebEngage with your Android, iOS, React Native, Xamarin.Android, Xamarin.iOS and Hybrid app.

• Time Zone Elapsed: This error is generally recorded for one-time campaigns scheduled for delivery in the user's timezone. If the local time (for a user) has already passed the delivery time specified for the campaign, then the message will fail to get delivered.

• Channel Not Available: This error is generally recorded for journeys wherein a Push campaign is triggered for users who were not reachable through the channel.

WhatsApp

Once you send a WhatsApp campaign, it goes through the following stages in its lifecycle:

Let's get you acquainted with all the performance indicators tracked for WhatsApp campaigns:

Sent

Indicates the total number of messages sent to a WhatsApp campaign's target audience, within the selected time frame.

Failures (WhatsApp)

Indicates the total number of messages that failed to get delivered to a campaign's target audience, within the selected time frame.

Here's a list of all the reasons due to which a WhatsApp campaign could fail:

• Invalid WhatsApp Number: Indicates that the phone number (to which the message was sent) is not registered with WhatsApp.

• Message Format Error: Indicates that the message (added while creating the campaign) has errors in it. A few common reasons include:

  • Extra characters were added to a whitelisted template.
  • Personalization variables were not added properly.

• Template Does Not Exist: Indicates that the message template uploaded to WebEngage has not been approved by WhatsApp.

  • All message templates must be whitelisted with WhatsApp before you can start using them in your campaigns and must not be edited once approved.

• Throttling Error: Indicates that your WSP was receiving a high number of messages per second/minute/hour from your WebEngage account due to which a few messages were dropped.

• User Blocked Messages: Indicates that the user from the campaign's target audience has blocked your channel on WhatsApp.

• User Did Not Initiate Session: Indicates that a user from the campaign's target audience did not initiate the WhatsApp chat session with you and thus, will be contacted.

• User Offline: Indicates that the message could not be delivered as the user remained offlines for a prolonged duration.

• WSP Configuration Error: Indicates an error in the WhatsApp Service Provider integration with your WebEngage account.

  • Please head over to the Intergations < Channels < WhatsApp section in your dashboard to review and rectify the integration. Please get in touch with your WSP or drop in a few lines at [email protected] for assistance.

• WSP Quota Limit Reached: Indicates that the message sending limit of the WSP (WhatsApp Service Provider) being used to send the campaign has been exhausted. Please get in touch with your WSP to upgrade your account or add more credits to ensure delivery.

• DND Queue Drop: All messages meant to be delivered during a user's DND hours get queued as per the campaign's/ journey's Queueing Duration. However, if the duration expires before a delivery window opens up, then the campaign will fail. Such failures are indicated by DND Queue Drop.

🚧

Please refer to DND Hours and Queueing for a detailed read.

• Frequency Capping Queue Drop: If the daily, weekly or monthly frequency cap has been exhausted for a user, then all additional campaigns will get queued for delayed delivery, as per each campaign's/ journey's Queueing Duration. However, if the duration expires before a delivery window opens up, then the campaign will fail. Such failures are indicated by Frequency Cap Queue Drop.

🚧

Please refer to Frequency Capping and Queueing for a detailed read.

• Personalization Error: Indicates an error with the personalization variables (User Attributes, Event Attributes) or Nunjucks syntax used in the message copy.

• Channel Not Available/ Recipient Missing: This error is generally recorded for journeys wherein a WhatsApp campaign is triggered for users who have not shared their phone number, yet.

• Time Zone Elapsed: This error is generally recorded for one-time campaigns scheduled for delivery in the user's timezone. If the local date and time (for a user) have already passed the delivery date and time specified for the campaign, then the message will fail to get delivered to the user.

• Undelivered (Only if Infobip is your WSP): Indicates that Infobip was unable to deliver the message due to any of the following reasons:

  • The message has been received by the WSP, but the user's device is out of network coverage area. Hence, it could not be delivered.
  • 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.

• Other Failures: All off-beat reasons for campaign failures are clubbed under this header.

• DND Queue: All messages meant to be delivered during a user's DND hours get queued as per the campaign's queueing duration, indicated by DND Queue.

• Frequency Cap Queue: If the daily, weekly or monthly frequency cap has been exhausted for a user, then all additional campaigns will get queued for delayed delivery, as per each campaign's queueing duration. This is indicated by Frequency Cap Queue.
