In case you forget, here is a quick reminder on the meaning of the data in the Automation Reports:
Sent (Email, SMS) represents the number of messages sent by the automation workflows within the specified period.
Opened (Email) shows the number of the opened messages, including the total and the rates for each of the messages.
Clicked (Email, SMS) indicates the amount of customers who clicked on any of the links inside each of the messages.
Converted (Email) indicates the number of customers the message contributed compared to the number of subscribers.
Revenue (Email) shows the amount of sales generated by the workflow or element.
Unsubscribe (Email) indicates the number of subscribers turning into un-subscribers after interacting with the email.
Delivered (SMS) shows the number of text messages that were sent.
You should reassess your marketing methods if your automation workflows reveal a significant amount of Unsubscribes or Suppression. Unlike with Campaigns, removing inactive contacts from your account isn't enough. We need to eradicate the source with Automations, whether it's customers entering wrong email addresses on sign-up forms or low-engagement elements. In any case, the settings for delays, triggers, and sign-up forms must be tweaked to have a better performance.
