Account analytics is a great way to view all of your email marketing data from your account in one place.

Account analytics is also available for SMS. Learn more in Account analytics for SMS.

Account analytics can help you:

  • See how your account is performing: where things are working well and where you might benefit from greater focus.

  • Export all of your email data into .CSV files for further analysis or other uses outside of Dotdigital.


Before you start
