Subscriber analytics allow you to have a more in-depth understanding of your subscribers, their behavior, and the success of your various opt-in sources. Available data updates every 15 minutes.
With subscriber analytics, you can:
- View subscriber opt-in performance both periodically and cumulatively.
- Understand revenue attributed to each opt-in source during a periodic or cumulative timeframe.
- Easily digest your analytics in either an interactive chart or an aggregated table.
- Export your subscriber data for your own personal analysis or to use with your data warehouse.
To navigate to your subscriber analytics, select Analytics in the side menu of your Postscript dashboard, then select Subscribers.
Interactive Graph
On the Subscribers Analytics page, the data displayed in the graph will depend on the time period and filters you've selected.
- Choose which time frame you wish to view in the top-right corner of the page. Options include Today, Last 7 Days, Last 30 Days, Last Year, All Time, or you can define a custom date range.
- Organize how data displays by day, week, or month, and which metrics you wish to view (e.g., periodic vs. cumulative, revenue vs. subscriber).
- Select your viewing preference. You can choose a line graph or bar chart by selecting the Bar or Line button in the upper-right corner below the date ranges.
- Hover over data points to view the associated date and metric value.
- Click on opt-in sources in the visual key beneath the graph to hide certain source lines or make them re-appear.
Data Table
Similar to the interactive graph above, the data displayed in the data table will depend on the time period and filters you've selected. When you click on a column header, you can sort in ascending or descending order.
