Basic Metrics to report on Email Performance

There are a variety of Basic HubSpot Marketing Metrics available in Databox that allow you to analyze your Email Performance. This includes "Emails Clicked," "Total Emails Sent by Title (by Last updated)," and "Total Emails Opened by Title (by Create Date)." 

 

To view these Metrics in Databox, navigate to  Metrics > Metrics Library and select HubSpot Marketing from the Data Source drop-down. Enter "Email" in the Search bar to view all Email-specific Metrics. 

Add any significant Email Metrics to your Metrics screen by hovering over the logo in the top right of the Metric block and clicking  + Add to my Metrics

To view the performance of a specific Email on a Databoard, use Metrics that have "by Email" in the Metric name. You will then need to set up your Datablock in a way that prompts you to select a specific Dimension (Email). Learn how to select a specific Email on a Datablock here

Custom Metrics to report on Email Performance

Custom Email Performance Metrics can be built using the Metric Builder for HubSpot Marketing (Emails)

Metric Builder is available on the Professional and higher plans. Request a trial of Metric Builder by following these steps.

Using this Metric Builder, you can create Custom Metrics to report on Metrics like "Sent," "Bounced," "Unsubscribed," "Spam Reports," and more. You can select specific emails to report on, or you can use Filters to differentiate between emails based on the Email Name. 

This is especially valuable if you have a naming convention for emails in your HubSpot portal. For example, if all Marketing Emails have "Mktg" in the Email Name, you can add a Filter to only include data for Emails whose name contains "Mktg" to report on Marketing Email Performance. 

Calculated Metrics to report on Email Performance

It's often valuable to report on Email Rates, such as "Email Open Rate" and "Email Click Rate." These Metrics can be created using Data Calculations

Data Calculations is available on the Professional and higher plans. Request a trial of Data Calculations by following these steps.



For example, to calculate "Email Open Rate," you can use the equation "Emails Opened" divided by "Emails Delivered." 

You may also want to report on the Email Open Rate for specific emails. 

Rather than creating a new Calculated Metric for each Email, you can use the equation "Emails Opened by Email Title (by Create Date)" divided by "Emails Delivered by Email Title (by Create Date)" without selecting a specific Dimension for either. 

The resulting Calculated Metric will report on "Email Open Rate by Email Title (by Create Date)." 

To view the Email Open Rate of a specific Email, you will then need to set up your Datablock in a way that prompts you to select a specific Dimension (Email). Learn how to select a specific Email on a Datablock here
