Every SMS message sent from Engage will generate statistics on unsubscribe activity, delivery, soft and hard bounces.
Engage provides aggregated statistics for recipients and delivered text messages. The data is presented in the list view of sent SMS messages as soon as recipients starts to receive the message.
Individual statistics, such as unique recipients, unique opens, and unique clicks, will be presented and ready to act on as soon as the statistics are calculated. Click on the email in question to access the detailed statistics.
The numbers in the Delivered widget on the Overview tab may require up to two hours before they become stable and relevant on individual level. Likewise, the Activity metrics needs at least 24 hours before they can be considered accurate.
Delivered
The Delivered panel allows you to act on contacts that have received, or on contacts that have produced a hard or soft bounce on the SMS message as soon as the individual statistics are calculated and visible in the Delivered overview. If you wish to know more about hard and soft bounces, click here.
The Unknown status indicates that Engage has yet to receive a response or that the message from the responding mobile phone operator could not be interpreted.
If you want, you can send an email to contacts that generated soft bounces.
- Click the Action button below Soft bounces and choose Send email.
- Create an email to send to the selected contacts.
Activity on messages
In this panel you can review the unsubscribe frequency for the SMS in question.
Purchase statistics
This panel displays the effect of the SMS message. The numbers are only available if transactional data is imported to and stored in Engage. All available timespans are calculated from the moment the message was sent (for example, one day is equal to 24 hours after message was sent). Select a timespan and what to base the numbers on (online purchases, physical stores, or both) in the drop-downs and click Show statistics. The available KPIs:
-

UTM tags in SMS send-outs
Engage has no built in Google analytics for SMS send-outs. It is, however, possible to add the UTM tags manually in links added to SMS send-outs. We recommend shortening the URL with bit.ly to avoid long links.
