How to Configure the Hourly Email Engagement Report

IMPORTANT NOTE: Currently this email engagement report no longer displays Opened metrics. This is because of a change that email providers have made that doesn’t allow the pixel placed in the email to trigger the Infusionsoft automation link that applies the Opened tag.

The Separate Tag Totals checkbox greatly impacts the appearance of this report. If you check the box, the chart will look similar to the example on the Chart tab with the emails separate along the left side of the graph. If you leave it unchecked you’ll have a single row joining all of the emails together which would give you a big picture view. This setting just depends on what you’re looking for.

Next, define the time frame you wish to look at based on when the open or click took place. Essentially, when the tag got applied. I’m going to leave this as Rolling Dates, but set it to look at the last 21 Days. That way I’m looking across a few weeks as opposed to one, ultimately supplying me with more data that is more accurate.
