Messaging Insights is one of several Iterable tools that help you understand the performance of your campaigns and make decisions based on that data:
- Campaign Analytics displays performance metrics for a single campaign.
- Reports let you compare a hand-picked group of campaigns by various metrics over a given time period.
- The Dashboard shows aggregate performance data for an entire Iterable project (using customizable widgets).
Messaging Insights lets you review the overall performance of your recent campaigns. You can filter your campaigns by message medium, campaign type, campaign state or campaign name/ID and then view performance metrics for your selected campaigns over a time period of your choosing.
You can also compare individual campaigns and inspect user engagement over time, by segment, by location and by device.
Messaging Insights gives you a high-level view of the overall performance of your recent campaigns to help you identify key performance trends that can inform your marketing strategy.
